Those genetics technically have been around for centuries. As far as it being chemdog and OG kush goes, it seems the story that has been around for awhile and corroborated for years by Chem himself and some other people is accurate. Maybe you guys in Florida were growing the genetics, but it wasn't OG kush until it came to California. I honestly find it hard to believe that it started in Florida though. The problem is there is plenty of evidence that suggests Chems original story, but not one drop of evidence that suggests it came from florida. The fact that the original chem had hermie tendencies, you would think someone in florida would of been growing seeds of it out.
so your taking back this statement?....look mang it's not an ego thing fyi im not even from fla....some of us have been around a while...some know the story some dont...now im not sure about the last post...but from the story's that ive uncovered...i would say king or queen could be originator's of this whole kush craze...ie OG/Chem's...look at my last post...wonder why vision and xavier dont chime in?...think about it......
There are two different stories to this OG kush deal. Here is my quick speculation.
I speculate that Matt Berger is probably correct in fact. He was probably growing it out for awhile. Okay, so here is where the other story comes into play. An ounce was probably bought for $500 and it probably did contain seeds. Chemdawg then grew them out and they weren't the same, but probably similar. You know how this story turns out though. He probably thought he was on to something, but someone else(Matt or some florida people) were already growing the "Kush" so there were probably 2 representations of the OG kush. Now there are a lot of different cuts. So more than likely, someone got seeds from a bag of weed and took credit for someones previous work, who probably did the same thing in the 80s. Something tells me that one of the most sought after and most expensive strains in history all started from some seeds found in imported weed in the 70's and 80's.
Personally I prefer the master kush to the og kush.
Majority of growers Ive ever met, didn't know about and would never go near a forum like this. That being said, the very first grower friend I had was and older dude from Florida, no idea of the net, always told me OG was from Florida, he was doing it in 91-92 and was shocked I even knew what it was. Haven't seen him in years though he moved back to guatemala which is a shame, several of the best examples of herb Ive ever seen came from that guy.
Chemdog never intentionally created (bred) anything that I am aware of.
He did,however,grow some killer Dead Tour bag-seeds.
O The bubba kush started in 96 after a hermi accident which my kush pollinated my Bubba and my Purple Indica. That gave birth to the Bubba Kush and the Purple Kush or PI.
