Face on Fire is a regular-seed hybrid from Archive Seed Bank, built from White Fire #43 × Face Off OG BX1. Archive also released the same cross under the name Secret Ingredient. The White Fire #43 mother was a Jungle Boys clone, which puts a Los Angeles cut on top of the stud male behind most of Archive's catalog.
Leafly lists Face on Fire as an indica-dominant hybrid testing around 25% THC. Its users most often report feeling relaxed and focused.
Fletcher Watson and the Face Off OG stud
Archive is the project of Fletcher Watson, who went by ThaDocta in the forum days. A 2023 High Times profile traces him from Virginia to Seattle at 15. His cultivar library dates to 2003, and he began releasing seeds under the Archive name around 2012. The company opened its Portland retail shop in 2016 and runs seeds, cultivation, processing and retail in-house.
Face Off OG is the backbone of that work. Willamette Week called it Watson's go-to stud in a 2017 history of Portland cannabis. Leafly describes Face Off OG as an indica-dominant OG Kush phenotype from late-1990s California, named after the 1997 film.
The BX1 version sits behind several Oregon staples. RudeBoi OG crosses Irene OG with Face Off OG BX1. Scooby Snacks uses Platinum Girl Scout Cookies, and Grimace OG uses Purple Urkle. Watson also crossed Face Off OG with OG Kush Breath around 2013 to make Do-Si-Dos, which became Archive's most commercially successful strain.
White Fire #43 from the Jungle Boys
The other half is a numbered White Fire cut. Archive's release notes say the #43 clone came from the Jungle Boys. Leafly lists White Fire OG, also sold as WiFi OG, as a cross of Fire OG and The White.
White Fire brings its own grow habits. Leafly notes that WiFi stretches tall during the first 3 weeks of flower and finishes in 7–9 weeks. It rates the plant moderate to grow, with medium to high yields, and suited to sea-of-green and screen setups.
Pairing that cut with Face Off OG BX1 kept Face on Fire inside the OG family on both sides. Fire OG sits behind White Fire, while Face Off OG traces straight to OG Kush.
Rounded OG tops in 57–65 days
Archive sells Face on Fire in packs of 12 regular seeds. The breeder lists a flowering time of 57–65 days, close to the WiFi window on the White Fire side.
Archive calls out higher-than-average yields. The buds carry OG density but form a more rounded top cola than the long spears typical of OG plants. Leafly makes the same point about the rounded bud shape.
Because the release is regular seed, a pack throws a spread of plants. Archive describes phenotypes ranging from classic OG expressions to plants that lean toward the Face Off OG or The White side.
On the palate, Leafly users pick up pine and citrus. Archive's notes point to a long-lasting flavor and high aimed at kush fans.
Where Face on Fire sits in the Archive catalog
Face on Fire follows the same formula as RudeBoi OG, Scooby Snacks and Grimace OG: a proven clone-only mother crossed to the Face Off OG BX1 male. The difference is the mother: a Jungle Boys cut of White Fire that already carried Fire OG and The White.
Secret Ingredient is the same Archive release, with the same 12-seed regular pack and the same White Fire #43 × Face Off OG BX1 cross.
