Backstory:OG Kush makes up the genetic backbone of West Coast cannabis hybrids, but in spite of its ubiquity, its genetic origins remain something of a mystery.

Popular myth maintains that Chemdog and Hindu Kush parented OG Kush. However, we can’t be sure—the story goes that cultivator Josh D. started OG Kush from a bagseed from Florida.

There are many different phenotypes of OG Kush, including Tahoe OG, SFV OG, and Alpha OG. OG Kush is cherished for its ability to crush stress and chill you out with its heavy euphoria.
