I trade off using biobizz and subco*l supersoil depending on what I have ready.
Here's the deal with the tahoe.... I received this cut from a non medical source in nor cal a few years ago. He told me this is the real deal OG, not a cut passed by the medical scene.. Said it was different than any of the OG cuts running around in the triangle and was tightly held to his crew only. They have been growing it for a long long time, since before 2000, Back before the sfv/fire/poison etc.. designations.
I've always wondered which cut it was and narrowmindedly assumed it had to be one of the ten or so listed in breeders description threads.
THEN... a very "seasoned" icmag member and strain creator, who has run almost everything that shows up on these boards, checked out my jar full of OG. After looking at it and smelling it, hearing the background info (and comparing it to the 3 or so other OG cuts he had there) he decided it must be the Tahoe.. I left him with a piece to smoke and didn't talk to him for over a month.
I was psyched.. The tahoe cut is one of the most desirable and one of the rarer cuts. Sweet!
when I did catch up with him I asked him if, after smoking it, he still thought it was the tahoe..
He actually said no I don't think it is.. He said the piece i gave him had a different taste and was more potent than the verified tahoe cut he has...
Back to square one... Sh*T!!!!
I've smoked the poison, ghost, sfv, tahoe, and fire.. they aren't it.
Then I got the legend cut... After flowering it out 4 times next to my OG they are literally almost identical. There is a very very slighty different taste to them (that totally could have come from the cure) other than that they are interchangeable.
I just read in thread on the farm started by obsoul33t (bangin thread btw) that the legend is "A true representation of the original OG if not THE original OG".
If my OG is that close to the legend, am I overly ambitious to think I may have the original?
Or maybe the unknown cut is the legend, and the taste difference came down to different curing. Although the method was the same.
I've continued to call this cut the tahoe, because while i thought it was the tahoe, I edited all of my posts and tagged all the pictures with the "tahoe" moniker. Honestly it's just a way for me to keep track of two different (same?) cuts of OG at this point.
Sorry for the novel, don't know what to make of it anymore
it seems everybody thinks their OG is the Original OG. Nobody knows for a fact. everything is speculation. Especially when you get it from non-online sources. If you take every OG cut out there, and trace it back, they were all just called "OG Kush" and everybody seems to think theirs is the original. nobody really knows
The plant that dates back the longest is the Triangle Kush from what I have been working with. Story I have gathered is a professional rollerblader out of Florida brought that to cali in the early 90's. I have heard the Legend cut is amazing. I have a link on that clone. but anymore it doesn't matter to me. I have grown the SFV, Tahoe, Ghost, Triangle Kush, Poison, face-off, White Fire, etc...and they are all so similar. you just gotta find what works best for you. I keep all of them solely so I don't develop tolerance to any one inparticular.
That nug you gave me seemed to be the Tahoe based on initial smell/looks. But after smoking her a few times, I quickly realized it was much different than the Tahoe (and much better). Swerve hypes the hell out of the Tahoe, but me and all of my patients who smoke my OG's all claim the Tahoe is the least desirable out of the ones I run.
Also, try running the OG's for 65 instead of 70. I find 70 dayOG to be way over ripe (in my environment)
