O.g. Kush is made with chemdawg, sour d, and Hindu bubba(original kush). It's also the hardest strain to grow.so the answer to the question:Hindu bubba(original kush) is what makes o.g. Kush "kush":bigjoint:

I think it is a kush when you add the word kush after the first name.
haha thats fucking hilarious and i couldnt agree more. can you really trace the genealogy of any plants to Afghanistan? unless you can, is it really a kush or did someone name it that because they thought it had aa distinct set of characteristics.

For me, only strain names from reputable breeders are taken serious.

i have always been suspect of any names of strains. even reputable breeders had to start somewhere and where did they get the names of their strains. even though strain names are useful, how scientific is it?

Just as scientific as your username on riu....it wont be taken seriously in the scientific community if there are missing links. if accurate data can be provided for complete lineage, it could then be taken seriously.

Kush is just a name that was named by the breeder that first grow the plant,many seed banks claim to be the first to have a kush plant but out of all the kush plants og kush is my favourite,also if you are looking for a cross then mk ultra is one of the greatest plants that i have ever seen or smoked,but be warned this plant will need a carbon filter has it stinks.But i think the first to do mk ultra was thc seeds......................tyke

The link above is not correct IMHO

STOLEN FROM ANOTHER SITE, the popular strains known as Kushes in the US came from Chemdawg.
History of the Chemdawg Family
History of the Chemdawg Family


At a Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek Amphitheatre, 'joebrand' (aka 'wonkanobe') and 'pbud' met 'chemdog' and sold him an ounce of very high quality pot for $500. joe and chemdog exchanged numbers and they later arranged for two ounces to be shipped to chemdog on the east coast. According to chemdog, one ounce was seedless and the other had 13 seeds.

In ’91, chemdog popped the first 4 seeds. From these seeds, one male was found and disposed of (chemdog was young, you can’t blame him). The 3 females were labeled ‘chemdawg’ (now ’91 chemdawg), ‘chemdawg a’ (now chemdawg’s sister), and ‘chemdawg b’. In '01, chemdog and his girlfriend attempted to germ 3 more seeds, labeled ‘c’, ‘d’, and ‘e’. the ‘e’ seed never germinated, ‘c’ turned out to be junk (according to chemdog), and chemdawg ‘d’ was the keeper. In '06, 'chemdog' and 'joebrand' reunited and joe was given 4 of the last 6 beans: Chemdawg phenos 1-4, '4' being the chosen keeper. Joe thought the '4' was the best representation of the original and thus dubbed it the 'reunion pheno'. Chemdog still has two seeds left in his stash.

Chemdawg Crosses:
• 'OG Kush' (the original cut) came from an s1 from in a bag of '91 Chemdawg in the Lake Tahoe area in 1996.
• 'Sour Diesel' aka ECSD came from an accidental cross of ('91 Chemdawg x Mass Super Skunk/NL)x DNL after the DNL hermed and seeded the room. The DNL's lineage is NL/Shiva x Hawaiian.
• Original Diesel' (also known as Diesel #1, Headband, Daywrecker Diesel, Underdawg) came from a cross of '91 Chemdawg x (Mass Super Skunk x Sensi's Northern Lights) done by a guy known as ‘weasel’.

• 'chemdog' and friends made several crosses that are held closely by a small group of friends and acquaintances. Among them are:

1. Super Snowdawg (Bubble Chem x [Super skunk x Oregon Sno])
2. Giesel (Chem D x Mass Super Skunk)
3. Bubble Chem (Chemdawg’s Sister x Sag's Bubbleberry)
4. Dawg Daze aka ChemHaze (Chem D x ’93 Sensi's NL#5/Haze)
5. Chemdawg D x Pbud (another old-school Colorado strain)


JJ-NYC has been working on a Chemdawg D-based seed line for several years now. He started by crossing Chemdawg D to Sensi's Afghani after thoroughly testing both Sensi's Afghani and Sensi's Hindu Kush to determine which was more stable and would be better for the initial cross. JJ then did a backcross, known as "Double Dawg." Several phenos of this circulate and several people still have beans. JJ's latest work to the line is a second backcross known as "Tres Dawg" which is just starting to get tested.

Rezdog of Reservoir Seeds recently released several Chemdawg crosses as part of his 'Trinity' charity auctions. The crosses included Chemdawg D x Sensi's Hindu Kush and Snowdawg x Sensi's Hindu Kush, Chemdawg D x Sour Diesel IBL, Snowdawg x Sour Diesel IBL, ChemHaze x Sour Diesel IBL and Giesel x Sour Diesel IBL.

any "kush" that I know of here in the us has a distinct taste and aroma you cant really fake a Kushes flavor. Just like Trainwreck, or Diesel, or Nor Cal Goo.
