What does "OG" Mean...

I always thought it was OG = Original Gansta = Old/Original/1st Kush.

Learn something new everyday, I guess. But ignorance is bliss. To me, Original Gansta sounds... GANGSTA!! (which now days means good/cool/awesome. Not only meaning actual law breaking gangster). Yes, society has glorified breaking the law and has made it easier to market some things if they are thought to be clandestine in nature.

Just like a "trapper" is a slang term for someone who deals in the "trap"; otherwise known as a place where drugs (or other illegal things) are sold. So "trapper" = drug dealer in some circles.

Fade, I truely believe you when you say you've smoked or heard of OG (Ocean Grown) Kush before the term "OG" became synonymous with "Original Gangster" in popular curlture. However today, I think that's what the name has become because popular culture and marketing/net sales go hand-in-hand.

May have been Ocean Grown before; but has now been adapted and marketed as Original Gangsta, meaning "the original". Which no one argue's it's NOT "the original" Kush. But it makes for good sales and a "cool" name.

Now that's Gangsta. 8)

OG Kush came from a collaboration of expert growers from the original cannabis forum, good ole OverGrow.com. OverGrow Kush was the child of the Greatest forum of all time.

Hope it doesn't mean Original Gangster, names like that shouldn't be associated with weed. Just like AK 47, love that strain, wish it wasn't called that because it's far from anything violent (gives me a clean happy social high). One of my favorite strains for sure. Anyway I think OG should stand for Orangutan Ganja (but what do I know, I'm just a girl.lol)

Orangutan Ganja - Really strong weed that Asian Orangutans smoked with Budda. Now used as a marketing term universal adjective that has largely lost its original meaning. Used to describe strong weed (i.e., OG Kush, OG Sativa, OG Indica, etc.).
Hey, I got some OG at the dispensary.
This stuff is real Orangutan Ganja.


Can someone tell me more about OG kush?.. about the strain, not the meaning of the name?

I made a thead just like this It stand for Ocean Grown unless your speaking about Rap or a real OG from the block
OG = Ocean Grown as long as your talking about the OG Kush.

Story #1:
OG Kush (the original cut) came from an S1 from in a bag of '91 Chemdawg in the Lake Tahoe area in 1996.

Story #2: (by Kailua kid from sierra seeds

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]

If OG really means Ocean Grown then I believe it is referred to soil amendments that comes from the ocean that goes into the soil. AKA Kush that is grown in OG soil. Just a wild guess.

I now use only the word OG not OG KUSH to identify those specific lineages that we all know and love that has been crossed with nearly everything in California.

There are some moronic answers being shot around this thread. I will add my two cents by saying that most of the "OG" strains I have gotten from dispensaries have the same traits. They all have this very strong lemony, pine-sol like scent. They are all usually very sticky, but not as dense as pure indica kush strains, but are on the denser side of the nug spectrum. And they all seem to have the same physical budding structure. And all "OG" strains are classified as hybrids. The "OG" high is also unique to me, but also unique among themselves. So, "OG" is more than just a name. I don't think it means 'Original Gangster', although that term does exist in a different context. I don't doubt there are millions of gangster dudez that get happy because they feel like they are smoking weed for "Original gangsters" only. Glaucoma patients smoke OG strains too, ha. It's very possible it means 'Ocean Grown'. I've never heard it, but there seems to be more information in favor of that than anything else. I remember asking someone or reading it online that "OG" stood for 'Over Grow'. I have some pictures of bud I've gotten from dispensaries. I was convinced that it meant 'Over Grow' because of the way the buds consistently were. Some dispensaries liked to put random names on random buds. I'd say 99% of them had OG under hybrid and they all had the same qualitative traits. Some places list Kush strains under the sativa menu. Sometimes they goof it like that.

This is an example of what an OG strain looks like: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d159/Diablo855/IMG_6761.jpg

Here are two pics of a strain called "King Louie XIII OG". This is different than the nug above. One of the dankest buds I've ever photographed:

I would bet my bottom dollar the OG in the name probably had something to do with overgrow.com. I can just imagine there having been og kush, og haze , og oaxaca lol an on and on. From what i hear so many genetics changed hands via that site it would almost seem fitting. This is an opinion! Peace

Your bottom dollar is gone. They attach og to either let you know they crossed og kush into or to push the sales because og kush is so well known.
