Bubblegum ... Kush?
The idea that OG often seems like a cross of these two seems possible to me. I found my sour bubblegum clone mom in my Bogbubble. It is an OG type but I think it possible others came from the same roots.
Some OG has a funk a bit like pre '98 bubba kush but not all. Where did all the good skunk of old in Cali go? It was powerful with dark green bitter leaves but very good potent buds that were often quite frosty. Man it stunk. Did it have the cat piss smell in curing?
Some folks who were there in those days have suggested that it wasnt just the stink, and lack of good odor filteration, that caused the rks to stop being grown. Its been said the high wasnt nothin great and people were stoked on new candy, sweet tastin weed. But in todays age of, "who's shit is the loudest", everybody wants it. Including me. And, i love skunky ass weed so id like to see for myself.
at that time typical skunk was very sativa, the candy was coming out out the ME, mostly Indica, the ME is full of every variety
those looking for a fast and "quick" buzz chose Indica, those that wanted to trip off herb chose sativa
none were wrong, just a clear difference was shown, in flavor and stone, it is still amazing to me, that variety one plant holds, from burnt rubber to the sweetest cherries or grapefruit
So heres the deal. There are only so many places in the world with wild potent cannabis. Equatorial varieties in Africa and Asia and mountain kushes from the Himalayas. There is a possibility that two separate nearly identical phenos existed in both Florida and Cali, but I'm fairly confident that OGK as we know it originated in SFV and Simi Valley. I have the "triangle og" and have had ghost, sfv, tahoe, poison, xxx, larry, $100, SAC 1, 2 and 3 etc. The current triangle cut is amazing and definitely an og but I had never seen or heard of a fl "triangle" cut other than Kromes white back around 2006 which isn't an og. I think saying the triangle og cut was from FL is just a sales pitch to make someone's new og pheno sound elite.
I also have no idea who Wendell is but the Granada Hills cuts I got late 90's were the Bubba and two distinct og kush cuts. He obviously had them and knows what he is talking about. View ImagePre-Swerve, Pre-Rascal, Pre-Orgnkid! The flowers went for $5000/$6000 every time and back then the bubba was actually the most popular. I remember the gh og/bubba flowers well and this was before all the "og" monikers today, but there are og's that pre date the gh crew strains. The "ocean grown" story has nothing to do with og and more to do with bubba. View ImageView Image Back in HB and South Orange County 1994-96 the "magooey" cut went around to a few choice growers. This became the original bubba in the valley and was also held by Larry; which makes me question Larry OG. I think he got an s1 seed of the Granada Hills og post 2003. The crazy amazing original og cuts were not called og's but were out as early as 93. They had the distinct lemon pinesol funk and the "dankest of all time" cut that spawned Rascals fire and the original skywalker was Uncle D's $20000 1996 cut from Simi Valley not SFV. This cut is still held tightly and many random s1's and f1's have been made from it. What I can say is there was og in the valley prior to the introduction of chemdawg and I was smoking valley og at a Grateful Dead show in Vegas circa 95. In my opinion those 2 or 3 cuts spread out to make View Imagetahoe, larry, ghost, poison, xxx, skywalker, fire, diablo, etc, etc etc. If there are separate Fl and Cali "og" cuts that originated at the same time and have almost identical characteristics then perhaps the strain we all know and love is just the result of crossing a great equatorial sativa with a potent mountain indica and getting that funky pheno. Maybe its time to DNA test our ladies??
Seriously? You're not going to let this go? The idea that OG is derived from Bubblegum is something your imagination running wild.Bubblegum ... Kush?

Seriously? You're not going to let this go? The idea that OG is derived from Bubblegum is an idea that's only possible in your mind. It is beyond bewildering that you continue to ignore the fact that is chronologically impossible.
because the 2nd part of the claim is that it came from his bubblegum. But your right improbable would of been a much better choice of words than impossible.
In all these years the only mention of such a possibility is coming from the 1 person standing to financially prosper if such a story were true. IMO it is as transparent as it is dishonest and saddens me that it is coming from someone I once had an immense amount of respect for.
