My bet is, silver pearl is a main component.

I get it, but I only have room for serious plants and the 92, SFV, and Megawellness are not that in comparison.
They were so bad I was too embarrassed to take pictures. I put them out in June at 18 inches high, and they only got up to between 36 and 40 inches high. Yield was abysmal, all three of them only filled out part of a quart mason jar, each. They were super spindly with weak, floppy stems.
I grew the Apple Fritter, Taos OG, my Taos OG x NL2 phenos, Shoreline Genetics Deathstar and ECSD, Southern Trendkill Skunk, Texas Shoreline, Albany Diesel, Triangle Kush, C&C NL1 x Puck, Puck BC, Bodhi Sun Ra, Phone Home, and Soul Mate, BOG Bubble, AKBB Golden Showers and Medical Skunk, and many others I am forgetting since I am on my phone and don’t have my spreadsheets handy. Everything was better than those 3 OGs.
Same soil beds, water, etc. I know what I’m doing. See some of my previous threads and pics.
It could be my challenging high altitude, short season environment, but I got a fantastic yield and expression from most of the others, especially the Taos and NL2 hybrids, and Apple Fritter (was pleasantly surprised with that one).
The 92, SFV, and Mega are spindly weak stemmed plants that offer shit for yield, period. The terps and effects do not make up for it in comparison. The 92 smells, smokes and feels a bit like a watered down version of the Taos OG. It is very similar terp expression as far as aroma, but like I said, the Taos is just more powerful all around. This is why I continue to believe it is the original OG Kush, and all the others are hybrids.
Maybe it is just that 92 from rare. I haven’t tried any others. I have seen great pics from others in this thread but I don’t have those plants. I grew out rares’ several times, inside and then outside. It may be great for a small tent grower but not for anything serious.
I would rather pop seeds than try any of those 3 again. Just my opinion.

Maybe it is because I grow in soil, but I don’t have this problem with my other plants and I know for a fact that the Taos OG was being grown in hydro years ago when I first got it, and it was killer there too. I have kept it for 12 or 13 years now and always soil. Always good. Huge yields and potency, and strong citrus gas funk.
I have a one shot short season here but I did grow it twice indoors. But that was also soil…

I’m coming back to that mentality as well, most cuts I’ve ran the last few years are good but nothing like finding your own keeper that performs in your environment and set up
And to be clear I wasn’t trying to doubt your skill, methods, or anything like that, just curious about details @GrownAtHighAltitude
And saying some varieties don’t thrive in some environments or with certain methods, but I’m sorry if I sounded rude how I worded it or anything

Seeds for the win, always. Much less drama and unwanted guests that way.

Agreed. The ‘real’ OG kush is a highly contentious debate. I feel lucky because my dispensary is well stocked so I get to smoke different phenos but in skeptical I’ll ever own a mother of any of the ‘legit’ cuts out there

Yeah I’m almost convinced the 92 I have is some type of sour diesel relative or precursor, nothing really og kush about her but she is super dank and high yielding.
The original og kush is what josh d calls ogks , triangle kush being her sister , the rest is just a bunch of speculation and made up stories. Most people involved with og kush early on know who had it and where and watched these various versions start popping up as the s1s spread from those grows.
