Face Off OG
indicavery-strongidentity: medium
Face Off OG is an Archive Seed Bank OG cut — a pungent, gassy OG that became important mostly as a parent (it's half of Do-Si-Dos).

The Story
“Sharp fuel, pine and a sour, almost antiseptic funk, loud and unmistakably OG.”
The nose is heavy and chemical: sharp fuel, pine and a sour, almost antiseptic funk, loud and unmistakably OG. The effect is a strong, numbing body high with a hazy, sedating head — the 'face off' name fits the heavy, blanketing feel.
It's firmly an evening, sit-down strain, potent enough to flatten the unprepared. For OG purists and breeders alike, Face Off earned its reputation as a building block.
