Bty OG strain guide
Bty OG, short for Better Than Yours OG, is an indica from the OG Kush family. Its exact parents are disputed, but most accounts agree on the feel: a happy lift up front, then a deep, relaxed and often sleepy body feel. It smells earthy, with citrus, pine and a little fuel.
Where does Bty OG come from?
Every source puts Bty OG in the OG Kush family, but they disagree on the rest. The older version has spread as a clone for years and is usually treated as an OG Kush phenotype, or a cross of OG Kush with an unnamed OG. Its original breeder is not known.
Other listings give different stories. One credits Certified Genetics with a version bred from OG Kush and Tahoe OG, while another calls it OG Kush crossed with two unknown strains. Purple City Genetics has also circulated a cut. Because of that, two products sold as Bty OG may not be the same plant.
What does Bty OG smell and taste like?
Descriptions vary with the cut. The clone-only version is described as sour pine, gas and citrus with an earthy finish. Other listings lean earthy, skunky and a little sweet, with vanilla, lemon and even mint mentioned. The taste usually follows: citrus and earth, with some diesel on the exhale.
Published terpene results list myrcene first, followed by limonene and caryophyllene. Myrcene brings the earthy side, limonene the citrus and caryophyllene a peppery bite.
Bty OG effects: what people report
People most often describe Bty OG as relaxed, sleepy, happy and euphoric. The usual pattern is a short mood lift first, then a heavy body feel that builds. Hunger comes up later for some people, and many save it for the end of the day.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint.
How strong is Bty OG?
Bty OG is a strong strain. Listings put it at about 23% to 28% THC, and well-grown indoor flower is often reported above 25%. CBD is usually very low.
That's on the high side, so start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The numbers on your label matter more than the strain name, and our guide to reading cannabis labels can help.
Buying Bty OG in Canada
Since different cuts share the name, read the label for the producer and any lineage notes. You may also see it written as BTY OG or Better Than Yours OG.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its pine and fuel smell.
