What's the "OG" stand for in OG Kush?

[JungleeKidd]

When I was younger I always thought it stood for original. Then over the years I heard it meant organically grown or ocean grown. But today I almost pissed all over myself from laughing so hard when I heard this kidd say it meant original gangster lol I think it means ocean grown. What do you guys think og stand for? Ocean grown right?

"Ocean grown" is correct. The term dates back to '72-'73. Most people I've encountered think it means original gangster due its common misuse in rap.

 

[JungleeKidd]

Yeah thats what I thought but wasnt a hundred percent. This dude said original gangster lol, I should have pimp smacked m lol

 

[Bud stankalot]

OG - Original Gangster is a 90's term for all members of NWA or similar individuals. However, this term usually doesn't apply to horticulture unless you grew up in the hood.

So what does "ocean grown" refer to?

I'm pretty sure it refers to Sea of Green in that OG Kush was developed for commercial indoor perpetual harvest gardens. When it's grown on a massive scale the garden looks like an ocean of kush plants.

 

[SnowBender]

ah-ha. thanks-

so it should be sog kush.

I dont think thats what it means either. I read this on another site and thought it was interesting. Check it out.

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 ****(mad dog) from Downey Ca. In late '96 **** 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. **** 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. **** 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 Kush."

Nice info! +reps+

The filters on this site are so stupid...I thought the point of an internet forum on growing pot was to share the knowledge, not filter it.

 

[rnwy29erclr]

og is just like it sounds = oh, gee, look at all this great medication.

[SmallTimeGrow]

Uh...what do you mean by "filters on this site..." I don't see anything we have edited or would get filtered.

 

[Be Irie]

OG is for organically grown, cause everything is better in organics.......

i forgot what OG meant so i googled it came to this you reminded me and what it refers to is ocean grown being the fact that kush originates from afganistan in the mt hindu kush range where asian indica originates from the two major strains being asian indica and north american sativa why this difference is, is again due to location the creation of CBD and other indica traits is a by product of the heating of thc and also natural decomposition of thc theres a more scientific term for it but i dont remember it anyways thats why the original sativa is from north america its too cold for the natural heating and decomposition of the thc molecule theres a video about it from southern california laboratories hope this was helpful to people

All these detailed stories and still not one straight verifiable answer.

I love my stoner brothers and sisters, but this thread sounds like 15% fact that then it dissolves into a terribly amusing game of telephone telephone.

OG=Overall Great marketing...the m is silent and invisible.

 

[Conradino23]

To be honest, nobody knows what Ocean Grown means. I tried to find out and it's hopeless

 

[Richard Richardson]

Surely Los angeles is beside the ocean?

 

[Gadfly]

I'm pretty sure the big blue thing next to my home is an ocean. However I'm not convinced that og means ocean grown. It might, I just don't know. Ben Dronkers is the guy that made the trip to the Hindu Kush mountains and collected the genotypes of various regions. We know this because he documented every aspect of his trip--possibly understanding the historical significance of his actions. To my knowledge, he never called anything OG.

Now we have the stories from here, wiki, google, and I'm sure a host of other places as well. I've read that the OG originated in LA and Florida. I've read that the original was a pure sativa that's impossible to find so its mostly indica hybrids that generally fill the OG ranks.

Which story is true? If OG simply means ocean grown, is everything I grow an OG? Is my Sour Diesel now an OG because of my geographic location or because I use ocean sourced fertilizers? If that's the case, I've only grown OGs from day one.

I like most of you just want to satisfy my curiosity. This thread as thus far failed to do so. I happily invite anyone to school me on the subject.
