OG Kush is the genetic backbone of the entire West Coast cannabis scene. Despite being so influential, its exact parentage and lineage remains a mystery. Some claim that it is the offspring of Chemdawg and Hindu Kush, while others believe that it’s actually a distinct phenotype of some other existing strain. Even the name is disputed: “OG” is said to stand for “Old Gangster” in reference to its status as a fundamental part of the cannabis world. Alternately, it could also stand for “Ocean Grown” given that it was mainly cultivated along the California coast. The list of phenotypes derived from OG Kush is too long to list here, but some of the most well known include SFV OG, Ghost OG, Diablo OG, and Tahoe OG. Look to OG Kush for its piney, lemon notes with woody undertones and its strong euphoric effects that make it a perfect stress-reducer.
