Is this the "real" OG Kush?

[growerNshower]

This is the most delightful, captivating, stop-in-your-tracks, amazing smelling OG I have ever laid my nose upon. I lost her to broad mites, stupidly threw her away because I didn't want to fight anymore. I really regret it and now I need to know what cut it was, so I can spend my life savings getting her back.

When I first got her as a clone, she was red stemmed and yellow leafed, like a good calmag hungry OG should be. I flowered her in ocean forest with rainbow mix pro top dressing and compost teas under a mix of HPS and LEDs, with controlled temps. She grows long with slow side branching, so I trained her main stalk into a spiral so the side branches can catch up..worked quite well actually.

She gave me this amazing bouquet of creamy, hashy, spicy, slightly minty and piney, but not very fuel or skunk heavy...maybe that's my fault...not enough sulfur? I didn't even get a chance to smoke her, but I can't get the smell out of my head, even after 3 years of trying.

Bought this OG Kush clone from rinky-dink club in Sacramento (pre-Prop64). The filipino? woman behind the counter said it is "OG Kush". When I asked her which cut, she responded...OOOO..GGGGG...Kuuuushhh, lol. OK, so is this just the real deal "original" OG Kush or some known cut of it? I realllly need to knowww...

Pics attached..."OGKush-0.jpeg" is shortly after transplanting the clone. Remaining pics look a little better after they recovered in the Ocean Forest and as I was training her into a spiral. Sorry for the background plants obscuring the best view, but I think you can get a good sense for her morphology.

Any tips to the exact cut would be eternally appreciated..

Great story and great artwork with your stem training!

I've got a pic of my OG Kush - 'cause that's what the strain guy says it is - we can compare leaf type and see if they're similar.

*** I can't upload it right now, at work. I'll upload tonight from my home computer.

While it is lanky/vine like growth like I've heard most plants known as "og" are supposed to be but apparently only TK or like what was it larry og are the only acceptable ogs or some jazz.

No ones going to be able to tell you what cut it is from a veg pic.

I knooowww....but I was hoping that would offer some morphological distinctions, which, combined with the nose profile, and (long shot) even the geographical location, maybe I could narrow it down to a couple cuts. It's the only thing I have left of her, memory and a pic, unfortunately.

Like that girl that moved to a different school over the summer and you never saw her again...damn...she was the one...

You know how hard it would be to get that? Probably 15 people in the world have that. Would cost big bucks!!!

I would guess the clone I got from the dispensary has seen more than 15 different growers...but, like me, perhaps many lost her too.

I know exactly what that is. It is OGK cut #234. I can tell by the green leaves. They completely give it away.

 

[skuba]

That doesn’t look like OG to me

 

[growerNshower]

How do you know it's not cut #236? I'm not convinced you know. Please send me your bank acct info and I will activate smellevision so you can sample her nose...that way we can be sure.

I recognize it. That's Larry's Alien Pebble OG Pink Cookie Kush. How did North Korea get my cousin who used to breed for Dr. Dre's cut?

Thanks to anyone who legitimately read the post and tried to help.

For those of us with no vision....or the inability to read...or just the propensity to spit half-assed jokes whenever they're confused by a difficult problem...there is a method to the madness. This is a complicated problem, like the one in the back of the chapter of your calculus text, an open ended problem that you've never seen before and there was no example in the beginning of the chapter that tells you exactly how to solve it. It's not impossible, but it requires critical thinking and a methodical approach...allow me to assist:

1. We first assume it is one of a few cuts commonly thought to be or could be mistaken for THE OG KUSH, or a cut commonly passed around as such, especially if you are plugged into the sacramento grow scene. It may not be one of these cuts, it's just a starting point of investigation, then we try to rule them out later.
-Crippy
-TK
-SFV
-Tahoe
-Legend
-Any others?

2. Then we look for any obvious morphological distinctions in the photo that could rule any of these out or distinguish from eachother:
-double serrations
-serration shape
-leaf width
-morphology at leaflet-petiole junction
-node length and branching patterns (these can be heavily influenced by hormones in plant, so not as reliable as above)
**Notice the OG in my photos has medium width leaves, no double serrations, a somewhat flattened leaflet near the petiole, and modestly sharp serrations. Some strain serrations will be sharp and aggressively angled, and some will be more rounded. Sometimes, you may notice the leaflets don't align perfectly as they meet the petiole or will have some trailing leaflet blade that doesn't end at a singular point, but in this case they seem symmetrical and acutely attached. These are some of the things that you might not notice if you've never taken botany or just haven't really ever paid close attention to anything before. However, they CAN be used in some situations to distinguish between two cuts. Having said that, it is possible that all of the candidate cuts we are considering are consistent with the veg photo...in that case, the veg photo is useless. BUT, unless you know how each of the candidate cuts look in veg, you CANNOT draw that conclusion. Hence, anyone who came up in here with a smartass comment like "oh, that must be gogi OG larry loki, hahaha" better know what all of the OGs listed above look like in veg and have already concluded that they are indistinguishable...otherwise, you're out of your f'n league.

3. Then we consider the nose. As I've said, it was light on the fuel, but this could be due to failure to finish, as I've noticed that gassiness often comes toward the end of flower. The scent was very heavy on the hashy, creamy, spicy, with notes of mint and some pine but not heavy on lemon or gas, though maybe a bit of lime.

4. You put all these clues together to form an educated guess. This is not a straight-forward "put square blocks in the square holes" type of problem, so it may not be for everyone to answer.

You may be asking yourself...what was this asshole expecting to hear? Well, I was NOT expecting to hear "Hey, that's Gogi OG, no doubt about it, dead ringer, I can tell by the veg photo, I didn't even have to read!" Rather, I was hoping for something like this from someone with real experience growing legit OGs:

"I've grown TK before and it was definitely gassy in early flower, so probably not that cut, but don't rule it out because you have to supplement hard with sulfur to get that gas. Josh D has double serrations, so it can't be that one. Legend OG and HA OG have a heavy buttery scent at beginning of flower, so if you didn't get that, I would guess it's not either of those. It could be SFVOG or Crippy, but the Crippy was maybe more spicy and hashy and less gassy, so I would guess maybe the Crippy."

^^^^I'm not expecting this exact description, I don't know the cuts that well, it's just an example of the types of comments that can be potentially helpful in identifying the cut or narrowing it down.

Do the clues in the photo allow you to distinguish Fruity Pebbles OG from Strawberry Watermelon OG?...maybe not, but we're not even talking about that kind of cut...there is no fruit or cookies in this cut...at least as far as my nose takes me...and believe me, my nose is suuuper sensitive, like a dog, genetically verified super taster.

It might not be anything close to the OG OG, but if I can rule out some of the candidate cuts, then my search will be narrower...and if I can get my hands on a cut that seems close, I can actually test it and find out for sure. In the end, there may be no way of knowing, but I've given a fair amount of info on the cut (not just a picture), and someone with a lot of experience may even be able to suggest a cut that is similar in the nose...and if I can't tell them apart, then it's all good.

Note, this is not an uncommon situation for a scientist to be in, where you have very few bits of information to go off of, but need to rationalize your way to narrow down 30,000 genes using clues from distantly related peer-reviewed research, to a tractable set of candidates you can actually test out yourself and in the end you may spend half a million dollars and find absolutely nothing, but you still try because you're a fucking lunatic...this is my world...welcome...

Thanks for your time, patience and sincerity.

At this point I can’t tell if this whole thread is a joke, but those plants aren’t OG! Maybe this whole thing has gone over my head?

Hello my friend. This is not a joke. I am very interested in the details behind your claim. If indeed it is not OG, I would have been looking in all the wrong places. Can you please elaborate? What specifically about its morphology is not OG? Thanks for the feedback!

Haha, so true, but I've been on top of 100 girls since...and I'm still dreaming about HER...thats when you show up at her wedding, slap the groom and profess your love in front of everyone...
