Thanks for sharing 3rdEye! Love your handle bro.
BBB is another one I'd like to run as well. I'd say there are some nice money phenotypes in that line. As well as the heavy haze types that I most enjoy.
Still kicking myself all these years later for not scoring a pack or 3 of Legend's Johnny Blaze.
The beans were available for years and so many people, including myself, slept on them. Peeps telling me years later that they were some of the best beans they ever purchased.
I feel the same way about Fed's Hawaiian Sat as well. Damn, the ones that get away......
If anyone here is a Kush fan, Snow's ultimate OG project is insane. He used the Pine Tar Kush in the project so there will be some amazing gems
From what I saw, True Gangster Kush is not a strain Snow is dropping.
Ultimate Kush Project
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so several years ago, I had friends growing all kinds of OG Kush for production with all kinds of methods trying to squeeze some yields out of the different OG Kushes on the market.
I saw the problems with rooting, I saw the problems with floppy plants, I saw the problems with yields. I thought it was ridiculous that so much energy was spent trying to grow out these cuts then to solve the problem and just breed a better plant. I've seen all of the reversing female "Elite" cuts to propagate another "Elite" OG Kush and heard of all the problems this has entailed. I don't reverse and I don't feminize so I apologize to those who would want that from me.
So several years ago I went about finding a good male to cross to an True OG Kush from back in the day. I grew out some Pine Tar Kush x Purple Chitrali which is basically 2 different worked real Pakistani Kush lines. I found a really nice well branched male that resembled some Landrace Afghani males I've seen. So I took a cutting and eventually pollinated the True Kush cut and a old SoCal G13 clone for future work.
Then I went about growing every OG Kush and good hybrid I could come across. I grew out many in different environments, indoors and outdoors. I grew out at least 5 to 10 of each strain to make sure it wasn't just the rooting problem with the plants. As many know that if you don't root a cutting of OG Kushes properly or if you get a cutting that doesn't have a proper root structure you will have a yield that will suffer.
So I went through these lines of OG Kush and similar strains.
In no order:
Pure Kush
Tahoe OG Kush
Real Tahoe OG Kush
True Kush
Trapper Creek OG Kush
91 OG Kush
OG Kush
Hells Angel OG Kush
Orgn Kids Sour Kush Kush
Ghost OG Kush
Banana Kush
Diablo OG
Original Bubba Kush
Pre 98 Bubba Kush
Abusive OG Kush
Abusive x 98 Bubba Kush
Skywalker OG kush
818 OG Kush
Platinum OG Kush
Platinum Bubba Kush
SoCal Fire OG Kush
Raskals Fire OG
NorCal Laytonvilles Fire OG Kush
SFV OG Kush
White Fire
Legend OG
Lemon Larry

Anyway I grew more but these were the main ones of the top of my head.
So I grew them all out looking for the largest, best yielding and most potent varieties.
I narrowed it down to a few that I believe contain the ideals of what the strain should be.
Skywalker OG Kush
Real Tahoe OG Kush
Abusive OG Kush
I then grew out the True Kush x Purple Chitrali x Pine Tar Kush seeds I had made looking for breeding males. I grew out over 50 plants and narrowed it down to the best 30 plants. I grew these out finally selecting the best branched males, with the best root structure and the smelliest stem rubs. I then narrowed it down to 3 males and 7 females and grew these out. Eventually keeping only 2 males and 4 females for work later.
I flowered out the 2 selected males with the 3 OG Kush strains I selected and a few other goodies, like the Girl Scout Cookie cut and a few others as well as the selected females from the same line. This was done this season.
This has taken me 5 years so far. Pictures to follow.
So the idea behind all of this was to breed a large yielding, easy rooting, easy growing OG Kush Hybrid without the problems normally associated with OG Kush strains.
More to come on this project.

Lets go full circle, will have to do these True Gangster Kush next time and maybe snag a pack of the Blueberry Blast....
