Ogre Feminised

Germination & Early Veg (Days 1-14): Ogre seeds typically crack within 48 hours using the damp paper towel method and break soil by around day 3. Early growth was steady and symmetrical — neither racing ahead nor lagging behind. Four well-developed nodes by day 14 with balanced internodal distance that hinted at the hybrid structure to come. Damping off is uncommon at around 70% relative humidity during this phase.

Vegetative Growth (Weeks 3-6): Responded beautifully to a simple top-and-train approach. Topping at node 4 produced six strong lateral leaders that we tied down gently, resulting in an even canopy across a 70cm x 70cm area by the time we flipped.

Flower (Weeks 1-65): This is where the 61/39 genetics of Ogre truly revealed itself. The caryophyllene aroma appeared in week 3 of flower and intensified steadily. Trichome coverage became visually striking from week 5 onward. Final indoor yield: up to 400 g/m2. THC testing at 23%. Difficulty rating: intermediate.

Mid-Flower (Weeks 4-6): The transformation accelerated dramatically. Bud sites that were wispy clusters at week 3 swelled into properly defined colas. Balanced development across all bud sites. The canopy we established during veg paid dividends now — eight equally developed colas rather than one dominant top and a collection of lesser branches. Trichome production was visible to the naked eye from week 4 onward.

Late Flower and Ripening (Weeks 63-65): Nutrient input dropped to plain water with a splash of molasses for the final 10 days. The caryophyllene aroma became powerful enough that carbon filtration was essential — our neighbours would have noticed otherwise. Trichomes progressed from clear to milky across the final fortnight, with amber heads appearing on sugar leaves first. A common harvest window is around 15% amber on the calyxes.

Dry and Cure (Post-Harvest): Whole-plant hang dry in a darkened room at 17°C and 58% humidity for 12 days. Stems snapped cleanly rather than bending, confirming the moisture content was appropriate for jarring. After 4 weeks of glass jar curing with twice-daily burping (first 2 weeks) then daily burping (weeks 3-4), the bouquet fully developed. Final weight confirmed the up to 400 g/m2 yield estimate. The limonene secondary terpene became far more pronounced after curing than it was at harvest — a reminder that the drying and curing process genuinely creates flavour rather than merely preserving it.

Flowering: 55-65 days. Indoor yield: up to 400 g/m2. Outdoor yield: up to 500 g/plant. Rated intermediate difficulty. Feminised seeds.

The sensory arc of Ogre unfolds in stages. Initial inhalation at 23% THC brings a warm peppery spice that tingles at the back of the throat. The relaxed, happy, calm effects emerge within minutes, presenting as a simultaneous head-and-body experience. Mental clarity remains intact whilst the muscles release tension progressively. This dual action makes it adaptable — a lighter dose suits afternoon tasks, a heavier dose transitions seamlessly into evening relaxation. The limonene secondary terpene adds a distinct layer: a mood-elevating brightness that counterbalances any heaviness.

Primary: Caryophyllene · Secondary: Limonene · Tertiary: Myrcene. Together these three compounds construct an aromatic signature that evolves throughout the curing process. Freshly dried flower leads with caryophyllene presence, but after three to four weeks in sealed glass jars at 16-18°C, the myrcene undertone strengthens and the overall bouquet develops a layered complexity. Vaporisation between 180°C and 195°C captures the broadest spectrum of these terpenes — higher temperatures degrade the more volatile myrcene molecules first.
