Og is thought to mean Original Gangster, However now more people woould claim that this is its meaning, OG was actually coined by an indoor grower in california, It literally means "Ocean Grown" Which is where it all came from, and i believe that was in the 80's or 90's, Tbh Im not entirely sure on the timeframe. But summarized this from a story a while back somewhere on Breedbay i think. Seemed legit.

There isn't a good consensus on this.
Some people think it stands for "Overgrow" as in overgrow.com, an older defunct cannabis message board that helped popularize the line n the early 1990s.
Some think its means "Ocean grown", as in grown near the pacific, in CA again, where the line was popularized.
Some have tossed out "original gangster", though personally, I think that's less plausible.

Here's another thread that addresses the question. https://www.rollitup.org/seed-strain-reviews/702512-good-ogs.html

Sort of...there were a lot of posts in that thread and it's kind of difficult to read more than a couple pages on my iPhone during my break time walks.
Again, I didn't know this was even an issue. Realistically however, they're either indica, sativa, ruderalis(sp?), or some sort of hybrid. It's all just a matter of whether a particular strain fits your needs/desires.

I always figure it stood for organically grown kush, until I heard all the tales of oceans and gangstas. But that was just an assumption.

I have researched the shit out of this too. But I care more about the genetics not the name.
Here is the most accepted story...and ya it's ocean grown.
"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."

it used to stand for ocean grown. thats the original meaning of it.
some one took a puff and asked if kush was so strong cause it was mountain grown
the grower said. "Shit, this is some ocean grown kush"
My guess is it was originally used by a group of guerrilla growers that were bringing down the big weight from up north. they had a unique kush variety that had a slight orange waxy taste to it. they used the OG designation to distinguish theirs from the next guys. it would of made everything OG more valuable. clones, hash, pounds, whatever it would of been worth a bit more.
Og sounds to me it was one of the early attempts to hype something up and increase its value. think Cookies circa 1985.
now a days 99.99% of OG's are just bread by taste. go get OG by most companies and you will taste a slight similarity with some orange under tones.
just a memory of what it once was.
