OG Kush put Southern California on the map for weed cultivation and it has become one of the most famous, consumed, crossed and stable strains in US Cannabis History. Story 1: This is Jerry’s “Ocean Grown” Kush story…”In late ’93 John from Grass Valley California got the ChemDawg cut. He shared it with me, Jerry(cowboy) from Dibble Creek Ca. and Harold(Putz) from Sunset Beach Ca. Putz had a male he called the secret ingredient. It was a cross of Lemon Thai and an Old World Paki Kush. Putz bred the secret ingredient to the ChemDawg. The buds that came out of this cross were going around So. L.A. county in ’95. Someone told Putz that Kush must be so good because it was mountain grown. Putz laughed and told him “this Kush is Ocean Grown Kush bro”. The tag stuck and it became known as OG Kush. In the spring of ’96 Putz married a girl from New Zealand. Before moving there he sent cuts of his OG to me and Bob(beans) in Salinas Ca. He gave all his P1 stock and all the remaining seed he had to Mike(mad dog) from Downey Ca. In late ’96 Mike sold some seed to some guys in the Valley. That’s where the San Fernando Valley cut of OG comes from (Original Gangster Kush). It’s like the Original only more sat in pheno type. Mike sold a cut of the original to a guy in Orange county and that cut is called Larry today. It’s still around Orange county. Mike sent one other cut of the original OG to a breeder in Europe. As far as I know he never let anyone else have it. Jerry bred his ChemDawg cut to a Humboldt county indica boy. This was the beginning of his cubing process. At BX3 he got a pheno that had all the smell, taste and kick of the Chem Dog, but in a pure indica pheno. Jerry gave this plant to Bob. It became known as the West Coast Dog. Bob bred this plant to my Old World Kush male. He took a male from that cross and bred it to the OG cut Putz had sent him. This is what made the original Bubba.” In this case = Lineage: ChemDawg x [Lemon Thai x Old World Paki Kush] Story 2: “Original Gangster” Kush came from the Cypress Hill Crew in San Fernando Valley - Los Angeles. DNA Genetics: The Grateful Dead Show: according to DNA Genetics, the Amsterdam Seed distributor responsible for marketing of the OG strain; in the 90’s they received the plant as a clone only and this is what they wrote to SDcitybeat.com : The Grateful Dead show is where the whole story starts off for the Chem family and this is where the OG, Sour D, Headband, and Chemdawg all start from. The original seeds that started this whole kush craze come from some herb that a guy bought at a Grateful Dead show. OG from Cypress Hill Crew: The OG got tagged onto the LA Kush back in the 90's by the Cypress Hill Crew and it stands for 'original gangsta.' There are also stories of the OG standing for 'Ocean Grown,' but being from LA we believe and feel that the OG comes from the Cypress family. Theories: A number of people argue that OG Kush is a phenotype of ChemDawg, a result of years of stabilization and finding the perfect fertilizers. Theory? Maybe MadDog Mike from Downey, Ca sold Cypress Hill Crew in the Valley some seeds in 96… both cities are in LA County and Downey is closer to the beach.
