Rudeboi OG
A hard-hitting OG powerhouse crossing the legendary Irene OG with the formidable Face/Off OG BX1
What is Rudeboi OG?
Rudeboi OG is a masterclass in OG breeding from the world-renowned Archive Seedbank. This cultivar is a high-octane blend of the "Irene" OG—a legendary and mysterious Southeast cut known for its devastating potency—and Archive’s flagship Face/Off OG BX1. The result is a strain that captures the raw, unadulterated essence of old-school gas.
While many modern hybrids lean toward fruit or candy, Rudeboi OG stays true to its roots, delivering a deep, swampy, fuel-heavy profile. It is a favorite among "gas-heads" who prioritize the classic petrol-skunk aroma and a heavy-duty physical stone. Sourcing an authentic Archive cut ensures you are getting the true "Face-Off" heritage, and starting with a rooted clone that is HLVD tested negative is the only way to guarantee the vigor this heavy feeder requires.
Terpene Profile
The Rudeboi OG strain terpenes are dominated by the classic OG triad. The nose is immediately aggressive: a blast of kerosene and damp earth followed by a lingering "pine-sol" finish. This is not a subtle strain; it is notoriously pungent and will dominate the air space of any room.
Growing Rudeboi OG
Rudeboi OG is a classic "grower's strain." It displays the lanky, vine-like structure typical of elite OG Kush phenotypes. Expect a significant stretch (often 2x to 3x) when flipped to flower. While it requires 63–70 days to fully ripen, the wait is rewarded with incredibly dense, resin-soaked calyxes that retain their weight during the drying process.
Key Growing Tips
-
TrainingLST and topping are mandatory to manage the significant vertical stretch.
-
NutritionHeavy feeder; benefits from increased Nitrogen in early veg and high PK in mid-flower.
-
SupportDouble-stack trellis is recommended as branches can become floppy under heavy buds.
-
PruningHeavy defoliation/lollipopping helps direct energy to the top-tier colas.
Rudeboi OG is a "flower-first" cultivar. While it is not recommended for solventless washing due to its greasy terpene structure, its flower bag appeal and smoke quality are world-class.
Flower & Bag Appeal
Rudeboi OG produces the quintessential "boutique" flower. The buds are typically medium-sized, golf-ball shaped, and incredibly hard. Visually, they are a deep forest green with occasional purple hues, set off by vibrant copper hairs. The trichome coverage is greasy rather than sandy, giving the flower a "wet" look that is highly prized in the connoisseur market.
Effects & Experience
The Rudeboi OG strain effects are powerful and predominantly physical. This is a "heavy-hitter" in every sense of the word. Users often report an immediate "head-band" sensation followed by a deep, numbing body stone. It is best reserved for nighttime use or for those with a high tolerance for potent Indica-hybrids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rudeboi OG is a cross of Irene OG and Face/Off OG BX1. Irene OG is a legendary cut from the Southeast US known for its intense gas, while Face/Off OG BX1 is Archive Seedbank's legendary foundational male.
Generally, no. Rudeboi OG is considered a "flower strain." Its resin heads are typically oily and greasy rather than brittle, which means it does not wash well for ice water hash or rosin. It is, however, excellent for BHO or RSO extractions.
Rudeboi OG requires a slightly longer flowering time than some hybrids, typically finishing in 9 to 10 weeks. Harvesting too early will result in a less potent "green" flavor; waiting until day 65-70 ensures maximum gas development.
The name is a nod to the "Rude Boy" culture of Jamaica, reflecting the strain's tough, aggressive, and uncompromising OG nature. It’s a "bold" strain for experienced smokers.
