I cant believe how many people truly believe it stands for Original Gangsta, /facepalm. Ocean Grown is the true answer but OG has become so commonplace now many growers will slap it on anything for the appeal. the story behind OG Kush.

In late '93 John from Grass Valley Ca. got the Chem Dog cut. He shared it with me, Jerry(cowboy) from Dibble Creek Ca. and Harold(Putz) from Sunset Beach Ca. Putz had a male he called the secret ingredient. It was a cross of Lemon Thai and an Old World Paki Kush. Putz bred the secret ingredient to the Chem Dog. The buds that came out of this cross were going around So. L.A. county in '95. Someone told Putz that Kush must be so good because it was mountain grown. Putz laughed and told him "this Kush is Ocean Grown Kush bro". The tag stuck and it became known as OG Kush. In the spring of '96 Putz married a girl from New Zealand. Before moving there he sent cuts of his OG to me and Bob(beans) in Salinas Ca. He gave all his P1 stock and all the remaining seed he had to Mike(mad dog) from Downey Ca. In late '96 Mike sold some seed to some guys in the Valley. That's where the San Fernando Valley cut of OG comes from. It's like the Original only more sat in pheno type. Mike sold a cut of the original to a guy in Orange county and that cut is called Larry today. It's still around Orange county. Mike sent one other cut of the original OG to a breeder in Europe. As far as I know he never let anyone else have it.
Jerry bred his Chem Dog cut to a Humboldt county indica boy. This was the beginning of his cubing proccess. At BX3 he got a pheno that had all the smell, taste and kick of the Chem Dog, but in a pure indica pheno. Jerry gave this plant to Bob. It became known as the West Coast Dog.
Bob bred this plant to my Old World Kush male. He took a male from that cross and bred it to the OG cut Putz had sent him. This is what made the original Bubba.

Lineage: ChemDawg x [Lemon Thai x Old World Paki Kush]

I believe some of the OG genetics stems from down here n florida. A lot of strains were founded in florida actually. It was the #1 grow state in the US until the legal movement hit. I still say that we get some of the best bag seed around with the exception of the legal states
I was gonna laugh you off the stage, until you made clear with the exception of legal states. The west coast has the best pot IMHO. And I been every where man.

Gotta agree there man.
i mean im not saying its not maybe it is. I live on the east coast but ive had the pleasure to sample many tri county samples. one of the first being mindo kush. At the time it was for SURE the strongest bud id had my hands on. I had alot of shit to do that day but i found myself constantly day dreaming like wtf this stuff is DANK!! why havent i had this before? lol but sure enough as i gained more experience i discovered strains originating on the east coast that was right beside it. I mean biology can only go so far..its not like we cannot replicate life and biology on this side of the states lol

like i said im not trying to start any huge debates or piss anyone off. Im just saying..its all biology, genetics, etc..i guess you could say the experience is hard to come by over here though due to you guys' history..so id say you guys just have a more abundance of experienced cultivators!

lol ocean grown :) to funny first off kush comes from landrace plants mainly in afganistan , Northern pakistan, and india sure not from cali lol from the hindu kush mountains brought into usa in mid 70's
According to rappers and street gangs of California and LA the OG in og kush stands for Original gansta refering to its parentage
of being orginal landrace strain of canibus that was imported into america and then subsequently improved to be the very best strain
Ask any Californian and they will tell you its because the og kush is an ocean grown kush, thus it has bin transported down from the hindu kush mountains and was developed by the pacific ocean
My guess is one day a guy grew it and called it own grown kush, this is true , as he probably grew it himself but hey , how could a dealer call it own grown kush, after all he did not grow it , and probably didn't want his customers to think he did , so what does he do ... Hey man got some mighty sweet OG kush here

No one is disputing the origin of kush strains can be traced back to the kush mountains and surrounding areas of Afghanistan. But hippies from Cali did bring these genetics from those regions back in the 90's. The debate was on the meaning of OG in strain names. Ocean grown and original gangsta are the two most popular answers. It comes done to who you feel would know best, the growers and breeders of the strains or the rappers blasting off about this and that for street cred. I believe the growers and the breeders myself. I have no way of knowing if the little story I posted earlier is exactly true or not but is seems plausible.

At the end of the day as long as your smoking some dank, that all that matters.

Right but, OG Kush stands for oceans grown. Original Gangster, come on. The breeder that made Og Kush would not name a classy stain after any type of gangster bullshit.

Not trying to sound like a dick. Just doesn't make sense. Either way does it really matter?
 
I thought og stood for original gangster. I grow sfv og kush and san fernando valley is not by the ocean so why would it be called ocean grown?? Im a noob though, dont listen to what i have to say.

first, the og cut was given to someone who crossed it in SFV or something along those lines. Second, How would SFV be connected to an ORIGINAL GANGSTA? maybe an original pornstar,lol
