The DEFINITIVE OG Kush History
- Thread starter JetLife175
- Start date
it looks like a plain old indica to me.... but u can only charge .... (fill in the blank) per oz...BUT calling it og.... josh/kosher/dingleberry og , whatever, and the price goes up.....
NL = Kandahar x Kabul
The One = Thai x Kandahar
NL2 = Hindu Kush x Kandahar x Kabul
NL5 = Hawaiian x Kandahar x Kabul
Nevils "NL5" = Hawaiian(has Thai) x Kandahar x Kabul x Hindu Kush x Kandahar x Kabul
So, Bubba Kush is (Hawaiian x Kandahar x Kabul x Hindu Kush x Kandahar x Kabul) x OG
The One = Thai x Kandahar
NL2 = Hindu Kush x Kandahar x Kabul
NL5 = Hawaiian x Kandahar x Kabul
Nevils "NL5" = Hawaiian(has Thai) x Kandahar x Kabul x Hindu Kush x Kandahar x Kabul
So, Bubba Kush is (Hawaiian x Kandahar x Kabul x Hindu Kush x Kandahar x Kabul) x OG

Hey Thcvhunter thats intriguing. By NL, do you mean NL1 or Purest Indica or am I just adding more to the confusion?
I've heard so much about these varieties it all seems to get mixed up and hard to recall what is a given truth at a given point in time. If that makes any sense.
Just wondering how NL1 and Purest Indica work into the whole Northern Lites nomenclature. Additionally, I'm curious as to the claims of some that NL1 has part Afghani from Nevil. Not trying to stir the pot, just trying to sort what I've read over so long. The landrace regions are pretty neat and new information to me. So cool and thanks for sharing. Much love

So the Afghani strains used to create NL (by people from the Indoor Sun Shoppe in Seattle) were sourced by BOEL?
When was this - 1973 or earlier I guess?
From Cannabis: A History by Martin Booth (ISBN 978-0312424947)
Indeed, once the Afghan government realized the export potential for hashish in the late 1960s, it encouraged cannabis growing using artificial fertilizers to boost production. By 1973, huge acreages were under cannabis in the regions around Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif.
Early in 1973, the US government paid the Afghan authorities forty-seven million dollars to destroy hashish and opium, the country's other main narcotic, within their borders. One of King Zahir Shah's last decrees before he was overthrown, posted throughout Afghanistan, outlawed cannabis and opium farming with immediate effect. It was largely ignored, especially as far as the cannabis farmers were concerned. They had been doing it for centuries and they were not going to stop now. In the summer, Afghan army units fanned out across the cannabis-growing areas, burning crops and homes, intimidating, arresting and killing the farmers. Most of the 1973 crop was lost but not all of it: farms owned by the government officials were conveniently ignored. The king's forty-year reign came to an end when he was deposed by his brother-in-law in the autumn. Few farmers regretted it. For two years, little cannabis was grown, the chai khana were forced to close and the surviving cannabis farmers relocated to remote areas. The Western smugglers left but hashish production gradually increased again with supplies being smuggled into Pakistan which, in addition to being a large producer in its own right, also became a major international distributor nation.
In the early 80s, when NL was bred, Afghanistan was at war with the Soviet Union.
And while you bring this information to this thread with the Bubba = OG x NL connection I'm pretty sure there is NL even in straight OG. I base this on nothing but the smell of the OGs and NLs I've grown though, especially in veg.
I made this thread a sticky - lots of interesting stuff on and around OG Kush -

BOEL brought back Afghans around 1968

So if josh D is the original source for OG kush who is harold putz? There is a different story in seed finder. Seed finder said putz got one of the chemdog cuts and cut it with his lemon thai x old world paki. All his cuts were given away when he moved to NZ in 96 This is the story by kailua kid from sierra seeds.
So is this a false story?
So is this a false story?
Fake story
I really appreciate that. Working on adding to the work in the near future.
there is the story of triangle kush that mentions a strain called emerald triangle which I think needs more digging into because obviously if it made its way to FL there were other growers in CA running the emerald triangle too, I wonder about a potential emerald triangle pnw dogbud relation
That's being sussed out. Actually what I've been narrowing down and making sure I have things correct since I posted the original post in this thread. I don't want to spew information just because I heard or read it. Fact checking and verifying with those that I can. Due diligence and all that good stuff.

Well that was yesterday...
I just got a different Tahoe OG (skunktek) and previously ran a older Tahoe OG (progressive options) and can say they neither of them grow like your typical lanky OG… More leafy compact structure.
SFV, Ghost, Louis, and Loompa all have the typical 3 leaflet viney thing going on. Thought I’d share…
