Lit Tahoe OG by LIT Farms

Information on Lit Tahoe OG

Lit Tahoe OG is a feminized variety from Lit Farms that brings together two key genetics in the Californian bank's trajectory, the classic Tahoe OG and their own Lit OG. The result is an indica-dominant hybrid with aromas of conifer, fuel and a sweet background of fruity caramel.

Its potency is high, with THC levels that can reach around 28%, and its effect leans towards a marked body relaxation. It's designed for those seeking the character of West Coast OGs with a touch of contemporary flavor.

History of Lit Tahoe OG: an OG with double roots in Tahoe

Lit Farms, whose name stands for Lost In Translation, is led by Ray Schiavone, who also heads Tahoe Hydroponics in Nevada. This connection with the Lake Tahoe region is reflected in the bank's catalog, where Tahoe OG serves as the foundation for several of its most recognized lines.

The house philosophy consists of preserving the legacy of Californian growers and combining traditional techniques with modern genetic improvement. In 2022, Lit Farms partnered with Ayr Wellness, one of the major cannabis companies in the United States, and thus their genetics reached dispensaries in Massachusetts.

Lit Tahoe OG is part of the bank's Sharpiez launch and represents a twist on that heritage. Since Lit OG itself comes from Tahoe OG, this new variety works in practice as a backcross to Tahoe OG, reinforcing the pine and gas of the original line without giving up the sweetness of Runtz.

To create Lit OG, one of this variety's parents, Ray Schiavone recovered the Tahoe OG he had preserved from his competition days and crossed it with Runtz, chosen as strain of the year by Leafly in 2020. That cross ended up becoming the signature of Lit Farms.

Genetics: Tahoe OG x Lit OG

Lit Tahoe OG is born from the cross between Tahoe OG and Lit OG, two genetics of OG Kush lineage. It's a variety of indica dominance and photoperiod, with a medium size that facilitates its management both indoors and outdoors.

Since Tahoe OG is on both sides of the family tree, the weight of this line in the plant is very noticeable. The Lit OG part contributes the influence of Runtz, which translates into sweet and fruity nuances and an abundant resin layer on the flowers.

Tahoe OG

Tahoe OG Kush is closely linked to the Lake Tahoe area in California, whose development is attributed to breeder Ganja Guru in the early nineties. Its genealogy is usually described as OG Kush x SFV OG Kush.

During its selection, OG Kush plants were chosen for their potency and their trichome density, with the idea of surpassing the original OG in both aspects. Its aromatic profile combines earthy pine, lemon and a spicy and herbal background, and its effect is clearly calming.

Tahoe OG has carried for years the reputation of being the ideal variety for rainy days, one of those best reserved for when there's no plan to leave the house.

Lit OG

Lit OG is the flagship variety of Lit Farms and comes from the cross between Tahoe OG and Runtz, itself a hybrid of Zkittlez and Gelato #33. It's a genetics of indica dominance that unites the fuel and pine of OGs with the candy sweetness of Runtz.

Its smoke is creamy and smooth, and its effect arrives quickly, with a euphoric onset that leads to a lasting relaxation. On the nose, pine and citrus stand out, with a slight creamy touch in the background.

Those who have tried it say that its buds are so loaded with resin that, when breaking them, the trichome filaments stretch just like melted cheese when lifting a slice of pizza.

Growing Lit Tahoe OG

Lit Tahoe OG is a feminized photoperiod variety suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation. Its flowering period is between 8 and 10 weeks, that is, from 56 to 70 days, a typical timeframe for OG-based genetics.

The plant reaches a medium height, between one and two meters, a manageable size both in the grow room and outdoors. In the final phase of flowering, the amount of resin covering its flowers stands out, a trait shared by both its parents.

Flavor and effect of Lit Tahoe OG

The profile of Lit Tahoe OG relies on the Tahoe part to offer an intense aroma of conifer and fuel, typical of classic OGs. On that base appears the fruity caramel sweetness that Lit OG contributes, accompanied by citrus memories and an earthy background.

On the palate, the combination balances between gas and sweetness, and in the finish the herbal and spicy notes of Tahoe OG can emerge. It will appeal both to lovers of old school OGs and to those seeking more contemporary candy flavors.

As for the effect, its potency and indica character point to a relaxing experience that's felt especially in the body. From its parents it inherits a quick onset, so it fits better in moments of rest and at the end of the day than on active days.

Lit Tahoe OG is, in short, an update of Tahoe OG from Lit Farms itself. It offers genetics with a lot of OG inside, a modern sweet touch and a contained flowering that makes it attractive for indoor and outdoor growers.
