OG Kush - The Original Genetics

The zesty TK pine is there :eyes:… I mean, we will never know. :sob:

May have mentioned only a dozen times also that i think tahoe is a 91 s1

Its fun to grow these plants and figure out how theyre related but it can be a tricky quest sometimes.

Like… i hold El Chapo OG right. The internet says its sfv x faceoff x og kush. Which is like, okay, sure, i did a terrible job with it but i could see that, its more pine forward than earthy. But loud og.

But who the fuck made it??? Where did people get this quote from??

All i get is like 500 results of websites selling it… so clesrly its a good cash cropper but like what, do these cuts just pop up like immaculate conception? Thats what i said to katsu the other day anyway. He was asking me for info on pink kush so he could do his chatgpt writeup.

As a treat, heres some shitty pics of my matt berger

No fruit smells or flavor. Silver Pearl had a magical spice hashish smell. There were some NL5 dominant plants and then the hybrid types that were Early Pearl or Sk1 leaning. One of my top 5 best flavors of all time.

I ran a “huge” nr of CSI’s 91 S1’s and a large nr of them where quite muted in their terps but the stellar ones where very uniform. I think the 91 is too inbred to have phenos like Tahoe in it. It was only around 50 plants, but it still gave me some insight into her genetics. Just a anecdote :man_shrugging:

Yeah, that’s what I thought! Thank you very much for giving me more details around this mystery :smiling_face: Wish I was around to try it but I was barley born at that time.

I think the funny thing is that the Chem, gasoline, burn tire, pine terps are so prevelent in both Afghani and Pakistani cultivars. So it’s not like we don’t know the area in the world which produces these phenos. It’s just that the details of how it went from those landraces to the cuts we love and cherish today that’s iffy.

Pz :v:t2:

I appreciate that! Its why i enjoy csi/calebs work. Hes already done dozens of crosses i could think of! The only plant i can think of that id mess with that he hasnt is probably gmo. Hes done sherb, irene, cake, underdog, 56 day, forum/gsc, cherry pie, bubba kush, 91, d, giesel, hp13, and so forth. I dont have all of these (56 day, forum/gsc, cherry pie, 91 missing) but its like, shit dude he got there first. Fucking Nspecta is right, amirite?

Oh not to mention fletcher, epsecially in this thread!

I agree with your evaluation of matt b. Cut @HolyAngel its not sleep meds.

But damn man… after some time in the grove bag this shit is overpowering, tasty, and loud! Its the stuff you really dont wanna stop smoking cause you enjoy the flavor, high, mouthfeel etc so much.

I shout out farmer joe a lot but yeah, dude is a legend in my book for keeping these cuts around and accessible to the community. I try and tell him how much i personally appreciate his work because of having these amazing and historical plants in my garden.

People give him a hard time and criticize him in some circles i feel, but my legit og and chem cuts almost all trace back to joe. Credit goes where credit is due right?

TK, Chem91, and all the OGs I’ve grown are dissimilar, IMO.

The only similarities I see between TK and OGs like SFV, Mega Wellness, and 92 OG are the spindly, stretchy growth pattern that I really don’t care for. The terps are completely different.

None of them are as robust as the Taos OG (formerly Tahoe OG) that we’ve had here for over 15 years.

I’ve found the 92 OG to be the closest to the Taos as far as terps, but the structure of the 92 is completely inferior as well as yields. The citrus funk terps and effects are very, VERY similar, but the Taos just has more of everything overall.

I keep coming back to Taos/Tahoe OG as being the original OG Kush.

After crossing it with NL2 and testing progeny, the results are very, very similar as well, which leads me to agree with Todd McCormick’s assertion that most or all OGs were originally an NL hybrid.

I’ve been trying to get the cut into as many hands as I can for independent evaluation and so I’m not the only one holding it, and most people really like it. I’ve had multiple ‘best in garden’ reports over the years. It’s still the best in my garden, and under challenging conditions too (outdoors).

curiosity, mainly.

The cut I have as 92 has zero citrus to it and is not lanky like the other og cuts I’ve grown or seen pics of.

Good info there well im def referring to that lanky one. That one i last grew was actually called starfighter og? It was cerainly not lanky and had big grenade buds as opposed to the traditional stacked braided ones. That lanky one was a reeker, almost borderline lemony skunk. Big one more diesely. Now that shorter one could def have hindu in it bc hindu is a squatty indica.

It sure would be fun to run a bunch at once, maybe one day. Didnt csi do that at sime point, and concluded they were all the same lol?

That is interesting indeed, aren’t those hybrids though, I mean the lemon variant?

Grownathighaltitude i wanna try this taos og your talking about, you make it sound amazing. You sound like youve tried or grown a bunch of them. Where can i get this taos/ tahoe og? Do u have seeds of it? Pm me if so, thnx

Interesrting you think its an old nl hybrid possibly. I could see that being a possibilty especially the early 90s time-frame when northern lights was king. I love that nl is making a come back.

I think maybe it was you, or perhaps someone else, that posted a pic of a 92 that was large and robust. It looked a LOT like the Taos OG cut. There are almost certainly a few circulating with that label.

I didn’t think this one had any citrus previous to about a year ago. I always described it as “gas, mint, and funk”, but then I sent it to someone and they reported citrus. Then I started to realize maybe I just had identified it incorrectly.

It’s not exactly like peeling an orange or lemon, really. It’s got an aroma that is very unique. I wish I was in a position to get this one profiled.

The lanky OGs are just sad, really, in comparison. Maybe great for indoor closet grows or whatever, but not really seriously robust cultivars, IMO.

I’ll send a message. I’m happy to get it out there into more hands.

Part of the clusterfuck is all the fakes for sure

Curious what the '92 moniker has to do with OG Kush. The only reference that comes to mind is Blue Dog saying he has had his TK, aka Emerald Triangle Kush, since '92.

Are those saying '92 OG Kush aligning themselves with the provenance of the aforementioned genetics or isn’t something totally different that I’m unaware of?

It would be awesome if someone already has or could dig up all the posts, pictures, and comments Blue Dog made about his TK over on Icmag and post them up here on Overgrow for reference. Many blessings and much love

The 92 moniker was added much later, along with a 92 OG seedline to further muddy the waters. There is barely any info at all out there on that cut. She also looks different than pretty much all the other OG cuts.

The TK and Chem91 cuts I’ve had though, if you put both plants next to each other in veg with no labels, you’re gonna be hard pressed to tell which one is which :eyes:

I’ve heard the 92 called the Hollywood hills cut ,
Matt calls it that and josh said it was triangles sister when I asked , that could mean several things.
It was gifted to me in a rather random way and I’ve only seen a small hand-full of people who might be running it.

I had two questions now @Heritagefarms

Is it the same 92 og that rarebuyer holds? Primo might be getting that up here.

And

Earlier it seemed like you were saying josh d is the og kush that is triangles sister.

So does triangle have more than one sister or is ghost a 92 s1

God, this gets so confusing. Hopefully your answer helps!
