Rucu Cucu OG emerged from a collaboration between a breeding team and a South American music figure who cares deeply about high-quality cannabis, and his taste and effect preferences guided the selection. After five rounds of selection, one standout phenotype was chosen. Its parentage pairs a Tangie line with an original American OG Kush clone, producing a sharp mandarin fragrance and a flavour that balances sweet citrus with gassy, woody notes. Fruity and sour tones also come through. Mostly sativa in character, it is rated at up to around 30% THC when cultivated well, with a heavy yet cheerful, relaxed effect. Flowering completes in roughly eight weeks. The plant is sturdy and straightforward to grow, responding to SCROG, SOG, topping and FIM training. Indoor growers should keep an eye on plants during weeks three and four, since stretching can occur, especially under sodium lamps. Its strong bloom aroma makes a carbon filter worth considering. Outdoors it copes with mould and heat, and harvest is expected around late September or early October in the Northern Hemisphere.
