The DEFINITIVE OG Kush History

The truth is sometimes found in the last place you want to look. It maybe a bitter pill to swallow.
Your looking at the branches for what appears at the roots.

Give up pedigrees?

See that’s where you have me all fucked up.

I hate to break it to you but pedigree and provenance is everything. I’m not sure where you are from but where I live you are talking about breaking a cycle that’s been perpetuating itself since the 1960s. The cannabis culture was damn near created where I’m from.

And where I’m from some plants have been so top notch that they have gained notoriety, not because of hype, but because of quality.

If you’re okay with smoking something that is vaguely similar to something that really profoundly affected you the first time you tried it, I implore you to do so.

Not me though, I want the verified real deal. I want the plant that was so good that it’s been kept for years and propagated because it’s just that good.

Pedigree is everything.

Smashed it!!!!!

I think the word pedigree suggests pure breeding homozygous lines with selective hybridisation,, this is the way forward!!! ,, it's a preservation thing!!,, genetic markers,, sequencing,, certain traits can hopefully be set to markers,, maybe even given funky names,, but we need quantifiable results and data,,, we need to separate the soup,, we need to brake it brakedown and rethink methods,, at least try to hit a positive trajectory,,, we need to agree on a way forward that is more tangible than yellow brick Road we are on now,, we need to see behind the curtains

Yeah diablo is a solid one. Originally came from Reseda Discount Caregivers in the Los Angeles area. DHk got it somehow and they spread it far and wide. It’s either a ghost s1 or supposedly a cross of OG and a strain named diablo which isn’t very popular but it’s supposed to be a BB x GF x African Sativa. I don’t know how much truth there is to the latter but it is what it is I guess.


And frank yeah the diablo and the Skywalker are kinda similar. I guess they can both be loosely classified as “Sativa OGs”. I can see how there would be a mix up.
I haven’t seen diablo in a really long time though. I gotta go looking for some fire flowers now. Lol.

Diablo is fire VS Versa , Fire is pure OG. nothing else , Again foods can affect appearance

Thanks for the tip dude. Next time I’m in between SoCal and the farm I’ll stop in and see what they have.

I may be muddying waters calling the original cutting the Josh D as he sells the selection he made with karma as the Josh D OG and the original cutting the OGKushStory or OGKS for short.

Whichever one it is it’s fire. I’ve actually been trying to get my hands on that Josh D cut aka the TKxSFVxHA deep line breeding done by karma. I’ve smoked a shit ton of it and honestly can’t get enough. It’s a modern take on a classic funky OG. It ticks every box for sure.

Just self an original OG Clone , only way to keep the true classic profiles

JoshD by Karma is close but not true ,

I was told By Michael Backes back in 2010 Skywalker was Clone brought from Florida , Alec's Desciption is dead on Skywalker not TK ,
Medicial Genomics show Skywalker close OG relative to Chem , No Hindu related , Chromes Triangle/Triangle Kush/ White was named TK ,
pre Fuji Matt bubba josh D's TK,NIkkaT won 1st ADSI with Ghost , Matt and Fuji said TK was Ghost ,Ghost came from old grower Ghost lol Boards wise look up Dates on THCF and IC CANNCAB OVRGRW all of them , each of the originals has its shuttles cleaner differences ...

its all a mess , Plants have no Ego or hidden agendas or story , They will tell you the in breeding , the truth and the lies =)

Just finished reading through all. Awesome thread.

So much respect for guys who hold onto those special lines. In the late 90's I never thought to keep seeds or cuts, I always thought they were around and it would all be good. Says a lot about how solid these people were to have the perseverance, dedication and balls to keep those special girls alive. :tiphat:
 
How can I post an image here? Can I not just upload a pic from a phone without first creating an acvount to and uploading to a third party site? I want to post an OGK cut for identification. It's the cut 'Herban Tribe' produced and sold in Eugene, OR at Amazon Organics in 2018. It's an excellent cut, stretch is dependent upon how well the root mass has been managed (at least in organics). Its definitely a solid OG based on every characteristic that Ive heard described. I'm less familiar with the other contemporarily available cuts, e.g SFV, Ghost, JoshD, etc. I will say this OG has a VERY similar terpene profile as the Forum Cut of cookies, (which I kust got dialed in in my no-til pots and it is phenomenal).

Anyways, Id love to post photos and more info on this cut.

No, although Herban Tribe does sell (I believe legit) Forum Cookies cut. Figured out the album thing. Sorry to ask without searching it out, just the older I get, the less patience I have for anything consumer technology related. Ok, so I'll paste the forum link text to the pic, like so?

Ok, jumped on a PC, maybe I can get it together now lol. The captions have more info, this is around week four. Sorry for the blurple, I understand the importance of good images when doing plant identifications and pathology online. I'll get better natural light photos on here soon. Thanks for looking :D

The out of place flower in the foreground on this one is Krumpets F2, not the OG.

I'm sorry for posting so much, but I don't see how to delete or edit posts, and I'm having a difficult time posting photos as the site code seems buggy. I don't understand how to make photos display in the post vs displaying a text hyperlink. I also can't delete or edit my posts. Once I figure this stuff out, Ill clean up my public episode lol.
