Users note it for its taste and clear-headed mental high that allows the user to focus on the task at hand. It’s never a super-potent strain to the point of being overwhelming — it’s a very even and smooth experience overall that is highly recommended for all levels of patient, primarily as a daytime med.

But the high can also be euphoric and focused, with a clear mind.
H
Herijuana OG
Indica Dominant
Lineage: Killer New Haven x Petrolia Headstash
This combo was worked by breeders for 15 generations to create an inbred line (IBL), meaning that most of the seeds will grow into plants that are nearly identical.

JR Mints
Indica Dominant
Lineage: “Thin Mint” Cookies x Face Off BX1
The infamous “Animal Cookies” aka 09 Cookies was one of the original cookie clones to hit the scene. A bit of a better yielder than the Forum cut with a spear shaped bud rather than more club shape. When dialed in, she can be an decent yielder of extremely dense purple spears and clumps that ring true to the now-classic doughy OG mint funk cookies are known for. Expect an increased yield from the face off side while taming some of the Cookies lankiness with a little more lateral branching. Flavors are just like the name puts off, minty chocolate doughy funky goodness, all the time.
K
KarmaRado OG

The onset has a uplifting cerebral effect that builds quickly, leaving you energized and motivated with a sense of focus and purpose.
Lemon G
Sativa Dominant
Lineage: G13
Potent, well-focused and even, this sativa hybrid is a daughter of Original G13. As this is not a pure sativa, relaxing indica effects tend to show up first after consuming Lemon G. Over time, however, the upbeat, euphoric, and giggly sativa effects begin to emerge. Lemon G is a sociable strain and, as the name suggests, has a strong lemon fragrance. Taste-wise, this strain is fairly mellow and does not necessarily exhibit the strong citrus properties found in its scent.

The high starts with a euphoric happiness that spreads throughout your mind, immediately erasing any mental pain you may be experiencing.
OverFlo OG
Hybrid Dominant
Lineage: Flo x Face Off OG BX1
A little more on the indica side, her tantalizing looks are paired with a rather complex terpene palette that combines the Flo’s blueberry, menthol kush and musky incense tones with the lemon lime and OG Kush funk of the Face Off OG.
