Funny how your telling me about the Middle East and Genetics lol Brother of Eternal Love lol Thats pretty funny dude :bump:

Are you from the middle east? Or a member of the BEL? What's so funny? The BEL is responsible for the vast majority of landrace cannabis brought to the USA

Kush is originally a landrace indica from Afghanistan/Pakistan area in the Hindu Kush mountain range, hence the name Kush. It was brought to the US in the 70's, most likely by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. The OG in OG KUSH means "ocean grown", read the beginning of the thread, the story is explained there.
OG KUSH has nothing to do with hip-hop other than the fact that it's over hyped by rappers.


you can read the beginning of the thread all you want bro but nobody know the og kush genetics for sure I lean more towards ogkush being a s1 of the chem 91

It's a cross of the Chem 91 and (lemon thai x old world paki kush), however the term OG came from ocean grown as opposed to mountain grown kush.

thats speculation nobody knows the genetic make up,Have you smoked the loompa's headband some pure kush probably the mother of og kush better than any og kush i have ever sampled and ive sampled alot and there is no lemons in loompa's headband straight deisel fuel.

or maybe loompas headband has nothing to do with OG kush. or maybe they both have the same chemdog in them. where is loompa to straighten this shit out?

LOL loompa im sure is doing what he does doubt he will pop in,If you put the tahoe and the loompa's headband side by side it would be really hard to tell the difference all im saying is alot of old heads say og kush back in the day didnt even have lemon smell or taste so there goes the lemon thai xold word paki theory

One of poster from a different forum who has been smoking since 1973 believes that the original OG genetics came to Florida from Jamaica then from Florida all over the USA then ending up in California. That poster believes that OG genetics were bred in Jamaica from genetics from all over the world *maybe primarily Central America and South America genetics and who knows what else* It could be a true statement because it makes sense due to the fact that I notice a lot of similar characteristics of SFV OG with Lambsbread.

---------------------------

C/P posts from that poster *some paragraphs deleted* :

_______________________
I consumed the original ganja in Florida from Jamaica back in 1976, same flavor as the true OG.
_______________________

It was similar in appearance too! The appearance, the flavor, all there! It was ironic when I smoked the "true og" for the first time -- I thought it was Jamaican Ganja -- identical in flavor!

Those seeds made it from Fla, to NY, to Massachusetts, then across the country -- the true lineage of "OG" you're smokin', homey.

I never got the low-down on what the Jamaican original ganja was, but I did learn that much of what they had/have was from breeding everything from Thai to Acapulco to Columbian to whatever else they could get their hands on.

But, the original ganja is distinct -- the appearance, flavor, and effect of what you call og.

The chemdawgs, diesels, all originally from Jamacian seeds with some variations crossed with other seeds from around the world.
_____________________________

You all go with the old wives tales and I'll go with first hand experience, and yes, I'm familiar with all the stories. But, the truth is; OG started with seeds being imported to Jamaica, bred to their liking, and then those are the seeds that worked their way up the eastern seaboard to where the whole chemdawg thing got started.
______________________

About ganja...I lived in Flordia when bails of weed were coming in from Jamaica. I know what the true ganja looks, tastes, and smells like. The current OG is steeped in ganja. relax, you are in the presence of the missing link between the true origin of OG. Everybody else's minds are either gone, or...gone. My brain is fine, I'm 50, not 40. So, 37-years of consuming the finest cannabis on the planet, imported to New York, Florida, and California, places where I've lived and traveled extensively.

Just a thought that I would like to share about possible origins of OG genetics.

They are crosses of a few cuts and have been around for a long time now, I wouldn't really beleive everything you read on here about the clone only strains. Sure I would try any of them if they were free but Im sure I'd be just as happy popping a few packs of seeds, maybe some LUI, sensistar, DJS Blueberry, I really liked Chimera's Sweetest Sativa, Started some more Federation Romulans 3 days ago for outside. My other federation roms were rather weak and spindly so I tossed them but I gotta see a finished product this time.

Everybody loves to be the guy with the inside info, especially in this community. I don't believe a thing that I read regarding the back stories for genetics, as there are so many sociopaths and narcissists who frequent forums like this and make things up purely for shits and giggles that nothing anyone posts can even be trusted.

Read the stories and take what you will from them, but remember that they're just that -- stories.

A user on another forum posted up some decade plus old Sensi Seeds Hindu Kush, dead ringer for todays OGK, he said the pheno popped up about 1 in ten females across the board with the rest being a typical HK type plant(bubba). Over the years Ive seen other people post pics of their kush plants from seed that had OGK phenos in the pool so its my opinion that it came from landrace seed and has been worked at some point in the line. To me personally, if chem and og are related, the OG came first then the chem or in other words OG is the original 'chemdog'. Just what Ive picked up after 9 years on the boards...

This is the real story of where it came from, Ocean Grown.
Oh and one thing the excerpt didn't include but is from the same source is that the ocean grown area referenced, was in the Santa Cruz area.
I hate when I hear people say its orig. gangsta and what not, I tell them the real story and get them to :snap out of it:

And the less cannabis is linked to "gangsta's", the better.



this is the real story,did you create og kush.I say its original gangster kush
 
I thought OG just meant "original" as in "genuine" shit... guess I'm really out of the loop when it comes to stuff like this. As I see it if it came down to choosing weed grown from any certain location ie: "Ocean grown" I'd choose "Highland" any day of the week. Almost all the worlds best landrace bud is highland or mountain bud. It's all about the UV and blue spectrum light that is more prevelant at high altitudes. Trichromes are amongst other things, a defence mechanism against UV and other types of light and these types of light haven't been filtered out at high altitudes as much as at low altitudes. It makes sense, if I were going to make a shortened label it'd be HG highland grown...

It originally stood for Over Grow. Short for over grow the planet with Cannabis and make it available for all for free. But it got hijacked by those who want to make money from it.

What do you make of island landraces like Zamal, Hawaïan, jamaïcan? the sun is at more than a million killometers do you really think 2000 meters are going to change much ? the lattitude plays definetely and acclimatation... As for OG kush and other clone only strains, it's profound bullshit who gives a fuck, throw a full selection and you'll get some damn brilliant clones yourself... Do you really think that the same lineage will only produce a certain pheno 1 time? like a guy said earlier OG stands for overhyped genetics... And kush doesn't mean bomb ass ganja it just means "mountain" in Afghanistan, hindu kush being a big ass mountain chain that stretches for many, many miles and the origin of the cannabis plant according to some specialists (haven't got any names though)

No, no, no it stands for Ozzie Guillen.
You see, It was 1991 and the Chicago White Sox were appearing at Comiskey Park. Cannabis afficianado, Ozzie Guillen, met up with Jose Canseco and Mark McGuire in the clubhouse parking lot and they sold him a ounce of weed for $500.......
