FPOG, formerly referred to as Fruity Pebbles OG, originated in 2006 and was bred by the California-based Alien Genetics team. The cultivar descends from a x hybrid combined with pollen ( x ). The original hybrid from Alien Genetics was intended as a limited release, but FPOG was so popular that other growers quickly began cultivating their own plants.

Online sources claim that FPOG’s conical, densely packed buds and reported sedative effects suggest an indica heritage. The strain has massive bud appeal, with high levels of anthocyanins that create FPOG's contrasting purple, red, and green coloring.
