Dual OG strain guide
Dual OG is an indica-leaning OG hybrid with a banana, gas and earth smell and a calm, relaxed feel. It's a lightly documented strain: sources don't agree on its parents, and potency claims vary a lot, so the label on your product matters more than usual.
Where does Dual OG come from?
Dual OG's history is not well documented. The cross most often given is True OG and Banana OG, sometimes credited to In House Genetics, and it is also listed as Dual Kush or Dual OG #4.
That account isn't the only one. At least one product listing describes Dual OG as a cross of SFV OG and Big Bud Afgoo, and one guide suggests the name gets used loosely for more than one OG cross. With no breeder page to settle it, treat the parents as unconfirmed.
What does Dual OG smell and taste like?
Listings describe a mix of banana and gas: sweet, creamy fruit over diesel, earth and a little spice, with some floral and citrus notes. The flavour is described as sweet and a bit sour, with banana and citrus up front and a herbal, diesel finish.
We couldn't find published terpene results for Dual OG, so we're not listing any. If your product prints terpenes on the label, that's the best guide to how that batch will smell.
Dual OG effects: what people report
There aren't many reviews of Dual OG, so take this as a rough sketch. People describe it as calming and relaxing with a noticeable body feel, while still happy and uplifted enough to stay clear-headed. One reviewer found it relaxing without being as sleepy as similar indica strains.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Published reviews don't say much about side effects, so check how a small amount sits with you first.
How strong is Dual OG?
THC figures for Dual OG are all over the place. One strain guide reports lab results of about 18% to 24% THC, while one listing claims 30% to 35%, which would be unusually high for flower and isn't backed by published lab data. CBD is very low.
Because the numbers disagree, go by the label on your product rather than the strain name. Start with a small amount and wait before having more. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains how to read the THC and total THC numbers.
Buying Dual OG in Canada
Since different producers may be growing different plants under this name, check the label for the producer and the test results. Dual OG also turns up in vape products, which test far higher than flower and shouldn't be compared directly.
Check the packaging date too, since fresher flower holds more of its smell.
Dual OG vs Banana OG
Banana OG is the parent named most often for Dual OG, and the banana note in both is the clearest link between them. Banana OG is the better-documented strain, with ripe, candied banana on an earthy OG base and published THC results of about 21% to 27%. Dual OG is described as creamier and gassier, with less consistent information behind it. Both are usually called relaxing. If you want a known quantity with a banana smell, start with Banana OG; if you spot Dual OG, read its label closely.
