Marathon OG Strain Effects

It probably couldn’t be stressed enough, but Marathon OG strain is seriously potent, invented with literal gangster rappers in mind. Let that be a tale of caution to any novice out there that wants to smack a bong like they’re B-Real, and expect to stay standing. 

When you smoke Marathon OG, you can feel the effects coming on strong and quick. Your mind is the first to feel it, bringing on an energetic and enthralled mental state.

Next, you’ll steadily start feeling its magic working throughout the rest of your body, slowly ushering in the sense of sedation, calm and total relaxation. 

Of course, there are benefits to the high THC Content Marathon OG strain possesses, but there’s also an array of terpenes such as Caryophyllene and Limonene. 

They can help ease discomforts such as stress, anxiety, muscle cramps, spasms, chronic pain, and even depression. Admittedly it doesn’t boast a very high CBD content, stacking in at only 1.5%.     

Marathon OG Strain Fragrance

The initial fragrance of the Marathon OG strain is a pungent combination of lemons, herbs, and earthy pines. Crush those buds, and it evolves into a sweet and spicy musk, making for a truly dank-smelling experience that you can’t ignore. So unless you don’t mind sharing with whoever catches a whiff of it, we would suggest keeping that jar lid on real tight.

The ten strains we’ve selected in this article are what are known as Indica dominant strains, meaning that they contain a majority of Indica genetics, but also have some Sativa genetics and properties as well.

Marathon OG Strain Flavors

It’s not easy to convey the complex flavors one would experience simply through a Marathon OG strain review. It’s something you truly need to experience first hand. Marathon OG’s appeal is savory–once you’ve sparked it up, its full fury of flavors unleash onto your tastebuds. 

Its earthy, herbal aroma complements lemon notes with a hint of flowers and citrus tastes. Finally, flavorful spice and cloves on the exhale counterbalance sweetness. At this point, you’d already felt its power taking effect, and you are transported to Chill-Ville in the Couch District, ready to unwind or drift off to sleep.  

Adverse Reactions

It would be hard to discredit Marathon OG strain since it checks most people’s boxes of what they’re looking for in a quality weed strain. For those new to smoking or who haven’t reached Snoop Dogg caliber of cannabis toking, take it slow.

Allow yourself to start feeling the effects before attempting to eliminate that joint in one sitting. Elevated paranoia or heightened anxiety may result from this strain if you have a low tolerance to weed in general. Other than that, have some beverages handy as this strain will cause cottonmouth and make you a little (or a lot) thirsty.

Provided it has a warm, semi-humid climate and correct water and nutrients, it will thrive both indoors and outdoors, resulting in a fairly easy grow, regardless of your level of horticultural mastery. 

An average indoor grow could expect to yield around 0.5 to 1oz/sq ft, whereas outdoor growers have 2 to 3oz/sq ft or roughly 19oz per plant to look forward to.  

Averaging about 60 to 80 inches in height, this strain fills out into a display of yellow-green leaves decorated with fluffy minty green buds. Upon closer inspection, a cascade of sparkling trichomes densely coats the surface, with light orange pistils curling out across the tiny green landscape, adding even more vitality to its already impressive charm. 

Flowering

You can expect your Marathon OG strain to start flowering around the 50 – 57th day, with harvest time generally being around day 63, considering it has the optimum growing conditions.

And remember, these buds are trichome covered, so be sure to do your trimming and handling over a tray so you don’t lose any precious kief. Waste not, want not.
