Dosing

Due to its potentially high THC content, it's advisable to opt for low doses of Larry OG when addressing anxiety or depression. Whether consumed through ingestion or inhalation, we suggest initiating with a dose below 5 mg THC, such as a modest puff from a joint or vape. Tinctures can provide a more measured approach.

Individuals not predisposed to anxiety, using Larry OG for pain management, might find they can tolerate higher THC levels, optimizing the cannabinoid's effectiveness in pain relief.

This medical cannabis strain is notably easy to cultivate, displaying resistance to prevalent molds and mildew. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor growth, it thrives indoors, especially in soil or hydroponics setups. Optimal results are achieved with robust feeding schedules. Indoor cultivation has yielded reported cannabis yields of 19 ounces per square meter, while outdoor growth has produced 16 ounces per plant (450 grams per plant).
