Have this guy on loan, and I have no idea what it is since I'm fairly new to this. I had thought it was an OG, but now I'm unsure.

Can you take a better pic in white light?
Is similar to OG and probably what it is.
But Sunkist will pop white and yellow bubbles that turn orange.
Need to see cap for me.
Sure a cpl other pros could probably id it quicker though.

Of course :)

The base color is throwing me off as everything I see online is colorful on an OG and this one isn't. It does have hints of green, and I just noticed that the shape of the bubbles on the Sunkist are ever so slightly less round than an OG, but I have no idea if that means anything. Here's what I found online that is confusing me:


OG's

I believe the ones with yellow bubbles may be an OG. Just not in the best of health.
I watched one at one of our lfs go from one of the nicest, colorful Og's to bleached out, colorless bubbles, shriveled up and ended up melting and gone within a cpl months. He had it sitting with his acros and probably too much light but idk.

I could also be 100% wrong on ID here as well.

Thanks for takin' a look! Yeah, I got it on loan from my LFS 'cuz it wasn't doing well in his tank and hopefully I can nurse it into better color and even maybe a baby or two. Trouble is he was keeping it for another customer who simply disappeared for several months so even though what I'd really like to do is cut it up 4 ways in about a month, I'll need to get an o.k. from him first. Anyways thanks again for looking. I'll be sure and post another photo in a month or two when it will hopefully be a little more colorful :)
