Quick Hits
What kind of high is Syrup OG?
An indica-dominant hybrid reported as relaxed, euphoric and happy. Picked for evening wind down and watching tv/movies in the evening. The profile features floral citrus flavor, earthy citrus aroma and limonene as the lead terpene.
Terpenes are natural compounds that give cannabis its smell. Compare citrus, pine, and earthy notes to find what you like. They are clues, not a promise of how it feels.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

There’s more to a strain than THC%.
THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.
Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.

Professor High interprets the pattern
Okay, the first thing I notice is a bright, limonene-style lift behind my eyes, a gentle mental sunrise that makes me chatty and quietly happy. Within minutes my thoughts feel light and euphoric, like the mental static has been turned down a notch. Then the myrcene and caryophyllene side of the profile arrives: a warm, tingly heaviness spreads through my shoulders and settles in my legs. Think of it as a two-act performance. Act one is sociable, upbeat and a little focused. Act two is deep, syrupy relaxation that makes the couch feel like the best invention ever. The sleepiness builds slowly, so I'd save this one for when the day is truly finished. The sweet, nutty, woody aftertaste lingers pleasantly, and I find my mood lifted even as my body winds down.

The helpful detail
Syrup OG at a Glance
Syrup OG is an indica-leaning hybrid (commonly listed as about 70% indica / 30% sativa) that blends a sweet, dessert-style profile with the heavier, calming character of OG Kush. It emerged in the 2010s, remains rare in most markets, and has two competition credits to its name.
🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage
Most sources that list lineage describe Syrup OG as a cross of Cookies and OG Kush. One database lists Blue Hawaiian x OG Kush instead, so parentage is not fully settled. The breeder is not documented.
- OG Kush side: the likely source of the earthy, pine and diesel aromas and the deep body relaxation
- Cookies side: the likely source of the sweet, nutty, dessert-like notes
Cannabinoid Profile
- THC: typically reported at 20–25%. Individual lots vary, and some tests fall outside that range.
- CBD: minimal, at or below about 1%
- Chemovar: Type I (THC-dominant)
👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics
Terpene data for Syrup OG is anecdotal. No reliable percentages are available, but sources point to limonene as the lead terpene, backed by several others:
- Limonene: bright citrus; commonly associated with mood elevation
- Myrcene: earthy and herbal; commonly associated with body relaxation
- Caryophyllene: peppery and spicy; a CB2-active terpene linked to body comfort
- Humulene: woody and earthy
- Pinene: fresh pine
- Linalool: floral and calming
The reported aroma is sweet and citrusy, with pine, earthy, nutty, woody, diesel and pepper notes underneath.
👅 Flavor Experience
Expect a sweet lead with caramel and maple tones, plus berry and citrus brightness. Floral, nutty, woody and earthy notes round out the finish. That mix of syrupy sweetness and OG earthiness is what the name points to.
🎯 Effects & Experience
Reported effects start with a mood lift and settle into relaxation:
- Euphoric, happy and uplifted in the head
- Talkative and sometimes focused early on
- Relaxed and tingly through the body
- Sleepy as the session goes on, especially at higher doses
Because it leans indica, the sedating side tends to build, which is why it is most often described as an evening strain.
🎮 Use Cases
- Evening wind-down after a long day
- Movies and TV
- Music listening
- Relaxed conversation while the talkative phase lasts
- Baths and bedtime routines
💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential
These points come from user reports and general terpene research, not clinical trials on this strain. Syrup OG may help with:
- Stress and low mood: the limonene-forward profile and euphoric onset may support emotional balance
- Pain and muscle tension: caryophyllene and myrcene are commonly associated with body relief
- Sleep difficulty: the sedating finish may support bedtime relaxation
- Appetite: some users report an increase
🏆 Awards & Recognition
- Best Indica, 2014 Hempcon Kush Cup
- Highest Terpene Count, 2015 Chalice Cup
⚠️ Consumer Considerations
Syrup OG suits adults with some experience who want a relaxing evening strain. Reported side effects include dry mouth, dry eyes, sleepiness and, occasionally, paranoia at high doses. Availability is rare, so check lab results on any batch you find.
