OG Kush - The Original Genetics

Depends on where! It was remarkably good on the coast. I ran deps less than a mile off the coast for years in Santa Cruz, and that cool coastal breeze and temps in the low to mid 70s would be just amazing smoke. Growers in places more inland where it was real hot and dry would get biggass yields of it, but a good bit less potency and bag appeal.

All that being said, I know soooo many indoor growers that ran OGs indoor all over the state, and it was usually really good. There was one crew(they are known as Fire Cut Farms on the legal market now) and they were growing 100s of lbs a month of just 1 amazing Fire OG cut in an airport hangar on the central coast. To this day, they are the gold standard of OG in my head.

I always personally thought the best indoor stuff came from the mountains and up north where they could bring that really cold dry air in to finish them up. But, that’s purely anecdotal. Guys up in Tahoe would bring down some killer stuff. Splitting hairs and all though too.

@PatHealy I live up in the Sierra Nevada mtns and can attest to this being a thing. Elevation is definitely a factor beyond just air temps.

Ahhhh, makes sense. I’ve always wondered how much elevation, pressure, and whatnot have on expressions of plants. I’ve always been at pretty much sea level unfortunately. Haha

I’ve found lower elevation equals denser bud and higher elevation sometimes equals higher terps and oil production.
Above 4500 and things change alot , blue dream for example stretches out a lot more and gets super tall but grew shorter and denser on the coast and seemed better actualy , makes me wonder if it would make some of the super squat indices grow a little more spaced out at higher elevation :thinking:
It’s very strain specific which makes sense considering there are low and high elevation landraces that have adapted to the elevation over long periods of time. Modern cannabis is a mix of various landraces and all kinds of behaviors can show up.

The 92 looks closest to Todd’s/Greg’s Purest Indica, imo.

I’ve gone in many circles about what it is or could be and gave up , maybe it’s the lost bubba that made bubba kush , maybe it’s the og kush that josh called josh d and now calls ogks , maybe it’s the triangle these others can from , I don’t know but not all things can lead back to two such different plants




When I look at some of the first documented kush grows maybe I’m crazy but I swear I see two different plants…
Also what josh got back as ghost could be a s1 and the current ghost orgkid has could be the ogks based on who kept what and past drama. Some of these people don’t talk anymore. Maybe kush is 92 and og kush is ogks or ghost depending on the source.
33 is a s1 his cousin found and some used to swear that was the legit cut… sfv is a s1 so on and so forth

There was a lot that was for sure! I used to buy up so much trim outta the Sierras lol. I knew dudes running 50-100 lighters and killing it. Our big advantage was the climate was so good, we could run the greenies all year. Keep the moms just chillin until about Feb, take a buncha clones and restart with a vengence lol. Made a massive difference in overhead, so a lotta times those Sierra indoor would be great and fetch a great price. But theyd be dropping mad coin on running all those Gavitas

Haha I always wondered if any of them were stealing power. Prices you could get per unit were crazy back then though.

MIA. With connections from Key west up to Tallahassee.

:100: I’ve only heard of the Emerald Coast, never an Emerald Triangle. I made “trips” to that area (fake emerald triangle), also lived there for a short time. Never heard anyone call it that.

Howdy @Heritagefarms, this is the quote from Blue Dog I saw on Icmag regarding them getting it back:

Inline, sorry about that,didnt puposely ignore your pm,
ive had the TK since 92,has og been around that long?..I acquired it from the humboldt area,lomg before weed sites had a zillion names for buds,it got called Triangle for the emerald triangle its from, and kush, cuz its a Kush,og, does look almost exactly alike, and Tk is by no means stout and fat, shes a lanky bitch that will beanstalk through the roof if not topped,
so its not og, og might be tk though, follow me?
og, tk, bubba, bee gees, its all Kush, and thats alright by me=)

keep it kushioned! bd

Here’s a bit more elaborating by Blue Dog:

jdog, since you got the good ideas, and all the facts as far as that goes…lets figure it out then,
when did sfv cut get out?
was there weed forums in 1992…
how did sfv cut get to miami in 92? without the internet? or a gaggle of kush haters sending it around?
maybe i know a lil somethig,
a thing or 2 about a thing or 2…
Jdog,i like you,but youll never know what cut i have, i dont, but it was earned, not given,and its family…
and it tastes like ivory soap dipped in lemonjuice an rolled in hhash of the highest sort…
the high… instant pleasure, mental pleasure, like granola cocaine…very very up, very very strong…
if shes in your garden,you wouldnt give a fuck if your dads real name was Bubba Gump Kush III, youd still be running TK,so fuck the sfv,this is pure dirty dirt,its never seen a club,and every person locally thats sick, is sure to get a cut and a light from me or a friend, we dont need gripper ass weed shacks w fake names and gangs off kids running around arguing there lineage,
i told G this in pms, but ill say it here,and im sure to get a stone or 2 thrown at me,but no worries, im a hard head,so throw away…
my buddy brought this cut back from a little town called Hoopa(i think thats the spelling), anyways,what the fuck was Crockett doing in N california,
he was visiting a college buddy,they went to UF together,why did he bring this cut back? hmmmmm, to get it back to where it was created, UF,thats the storey, and my boys would never touch a computer,and have no clue whats going on in the mj world,so they have actually no reason to lie…
if you doubt it,and you as in the proverbial you, and you think you know so dam much about strains and theyre pappies…ask your Mentors about UF,ad get a list of the strains created directly on campus by the horti minds rivaling MITs engidorks…
o NO> kush aint from Cali? time to get a bandanna and wipe the tears from tupacs eyes,I aint mad at ya…

mine is TK…from the swamp…ive smoked og,its not og,og was an 7 and my tk is an 11,no lie, og didnt make the rotations here,it was called Wush for its short spell around here,it hit the dirt just like sor d, and the rest of the over hyped bullshit…
pre soviet afghanis, old line kushs, and sativas are where its at…

To me dude doesn’t sound like he is trying to sell a fake story. It reads as if he is speaking of his life experience and has posted about Triangle Kush since at least '04 on the original Overgrow.

Some quotes from Nspecta touching on the timeline:

Hey Doc…a couple corrections for posterity’s sake…Blue Dog first posted pics of Triangle Kush, which he called at the time Emerald Triangle Kush, on OverGrow in 2004. Also, and much more relevant…a google search of Florida Triangle Kush made back in 2004/05 revealed quite a bit of online banter about TK or Triangle Kush…all from Florida cats round the Orlando area, dating back to the late 90’s. Just because a few Florida locals weren’t privy to the fact TK was going around in their back yard doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.

It’s been written almost 20 years now. What a trip. Many blessings and much love

Something else I realized just now when pulling up some quotes to share in here, we used to also call good weed here “Larry.”

Sort of fits the Crippy motif of starting out as describing an actual cultivar and then being applied to similar high quality kind bud as a general descriptive term. Many blessings and much love

Well from what I understand one of the crew close to them went to NorCal for a short while to take care of a sick relative maybe that’s who he is speaking of but I realy don’t know.
I will say his description is spot on ghost og , also I have a few times had the ghost cut come out with no lemon the way I remember it early on around 2000- 2002 and have not been able to reproduce those results.
Also I actually saw what the buds looked like on the branches back then because they would cut off all the tops and then sell the person I know the rest at discount and it looked just like the ghost og. It’s the stretchy lanky one that has always been described as it and matches my memory.
I’ve accepted the ghost og aka og kush and triangle kush are sisters , the people I got it from early on must have grown in a way that prevented the lemon from coming threw and there is a lot of unknowns around it all.
I don’t know where the 92 fits in but they have not seen the cut I have as 92 so maybe I got sent something entirely different and what they call 92 is just what Matt calls ogks , as mentioned before the person it came from at one point said it was crippy so who knows.
The cut I have as 92 is claimed to have originated from dark horse genetics and was used to make Bruce banner , if you dig for that guys stories he tells two different ones of how he got it , one is he got it as og kush very early on from somebody close to josh the other is he got it from somebody in Colorado and it might be a long held and lost Colorado strain I’ll remember the name of if you let my old brain think for a moment lol

Heh, Larry is the dude that got the OG Kush cut from Josh D.

I heard through the grapevine that OG kush crew meaning the TKOrigins associates ran mostly 6" rockwool slabs with Pure Blend Pro nutrients under HPS. That could possibly have something to do with the taste profile.

One of Blue Dog’s pictures shows what looks to be a DWC bucket while others show what seem to be rockwool slabs in net pots. Could possibly be something to that with respect to taste and flavor and such.

Blue Dog says in a comment on Icmag that he flushes his TK well and uses lower temps during the end of flowering. Maybe something to tinker with for those interested? Many blessings and much love

Blue Dog??? No disrespect, but the majority of your information is not 100% accurate. You’re mixing up different people with different things and different timelines.

Blue dog = “Big Rick” = Cornbread Ricky, who was not part of Origin’s Crew. Also, CR has admitted in private that he lied a lot to throw people off.

You’re misreading my comment then. In the comment you replied to of mine I mentioned the TKOrigins crew separately from Blue Dog, the point was emphasizing they both used similar grow styles. The reason for that was to show the possibility of shared knowledge between the two groups linking the Emerald Triangle Kush to both of them. Perhaps the slabs and PBP was taught to them by the same people somewhere upstream. I’d assume they ran in the same circles or the circles overlapped somehow. Speaking specifically about the old timer who TKOrigins apprenticed under. That dude was supposedly big time in the cultivation scene down here. In no way do I think Blue Dog and the TKOrigins crew were associates, but I think both of their old timers were or at least ran in the same circles, or somehow their circles overlapped. For all we know, it could be the same old timer. I think the Emerald Triangle Kush precedes both Cornbread Ricky and the TKOrigins crew and their respective old timers are how they are linked. What about Blue Dogs quotes can be disproven? Many blessings and much love

To publicly put the BlueDog down and bin the Cornbread would mean I would have to throw someone under the bus. It’s not a dumpster fire I’m willing to light.

The guy who found the seed that became triangle kush worked in Rickey’s tattoo shop , there was a bunch that got seeded that went to different people.
