When it comes to the original OK Kush, most (not all) seem to agree that Matt “Bubba” Berger started it in Florida and then Josh D joined Matt in the effort that brought us the original OG Kush in the early 1990’s. Josh D did some of his work on this strain in California. It seems the growing environment was instrumental in the expression of the original OG Kush and so it may be nearly impossible to retrace and recreate the original environment.
Most also agree that the parents/grandparents of the OG Kush strain include some Hindu Kush.
But that’s about the extent of the agreements.
So this thread is for those of us that would like to share their beliefs about the true “parents” and great grandparents of the original OG Kush strain of the early 90’s.
In other word, if you ignored the environment and focused solely on genetics, which landrace strains would you have to breed in order to “attempt” a re-enactment (re-creation) to as closely as possible replicate or closely mimic that original OG Kush that Bubba and Josh created in the early 1990’s.
If it’s true that Northern Lights was one of the parents then we know at least three of the landrace strains;
A) Afghanii
B) Thai
C) Hindu Kush
D) ??
E). ??
But what are the others parents of that highly sought after original OG Kush…will we ever know…
You will have to narrow down which landraces were used in each of the already listed countries too. Thailand has a dozen or more.
Kush could be from Pakistan or Afghanistan, and the Afghani could be swapped with the word kush, as the Hindu Kush run through the middle of Afghanistan. Tough one.
Are you speaking about commercial OG Kush grown on the West Coast? The plants that reach 20 ft? If that’s the case we can safely say that Mazar e sharif is the Afghani used, and since it is a hybrid of Afghan Sativas( or Sativas further North) and Hindu Kush, that kills two birds with one stone.
Throw in some Thai to enliven the buzz and OG Kush may have resulted. The West Coast plants I have seen look so similar to What is grown in Afghanistan that I really don’t think there is anything left to the OG Kush recipe. Maybe some Colombian?
It’s a plant referred to as emerald triangle crossed to a mix of northern lights from nevil. The northern lights mix was labeled as Hindu Kush in the original add but it has sense been admitted by nevil him self that is was a mix of northern lights lines mostly from Jim Ortega and a few other sources if I remember correctly , @Hunter is more knowledgeable about the northern lights lines.
Matt found seeds that became og kush while somebody else found some that became the triangle kush aka Florida kush, the original grow those came from is known and nobody knows or will admit to knowing what emerald triangle was. Supposedly something from Washington called krypto then
super-naught then emerald triangle or triangle. Luckily for those who like the originals there still around and your chance of recreating them even if you knew the exact lineage is slim. Maybe something similar but plants are unique like people.
What is OG Kush is kind of a different question than how would you recreate it.
Some lineage spit out some genes that are likely fairly common in the cannabis genome, in a specific combination. A sack of seeds from two or three asiatic high altitude varietals, grown in large populations, and sorted for attributes we call Kush…you could probably get there a couple of ways genetically.
They say the Sour Diesel was created in Colorado and then a pheno was brought to the East Coast where it was renamed Chemdog. Then a Chemdog pheno was sent to Cali and got renamed OG Kush
People say a lot of things but the agreed upon facts from all of those originally involved is what I wrote above and it has nothing to do with the chem or sour diesal lines. It did not come threw grass valley, Tahoe , putz hands , bunkers in the desert etc etc, it came with Matt from Florida and was found in some bagseed from a old school indoor grow. Yes chem plants look a lot like og and sour diesal shares some similarities but so do a lot of strains especially older ones a lot of which probably came from similar parental stock.
Lol she might not understand but I would
The ghost is a pain in the ass plant until you get her dialed in and figure out what she wants and when , both definitely unique and still hold there own against some of the newest fire on the block.
I’m currently in love with this kushmints plant I picked up , it has the old school la confidential /master kush smell going on and is straight gas.
And this is what makes this place so wonderful!
! Sorry don’t mean to get off topic.
