I know old post but i found it others will too... ok OG means ocean grown as mentioned by others. The reason OG is such a big thing is because they deal with salts better, due to having been developed from coastal strains.
Grafting does not change genetics but aspects of the host will begin to be shown in the grafted plant. Genetically it will be same

The "OG" mentioned in this thread, stands for OverGrow. It was a website that got taken down in 2006. A lot of lost information from that site. But yes, OG, as in OG Kush, stands for Ocean Grown

Deal with salts better because developed from coastal strains? I don't think so. It's lineage includes Thai and Indica's from the Hindu Kush region. Just because it might have been bred near the coast doesn't mean it handles salts better than any other plant.

Regardless, grown properly it's some damn good weed.

Is it possible to crossbreed a cannabis plant with a Humulus (beer hops) plant?

this sounds kinda far fetched but they are from the same family (Cannabaceae).

if they can cross-breed broccoli and kale to make broccolini without bio-engineering could it work for these two plants?

just think about drinking a nice frosty beer with the good flavor of weed and a great high.

The cross-breeding of hops and cannabis is an intriguing area of exploration within the botanical world. Both plants belong to the Cannabaceae family, and some researchers have been experimenting with hybridization between certain hops and cannabis varieties. These efforts aim to explore potential synergies and create new cultivars with unique characteristics. However, it's important to note that such crossbreeding endeavors are still in their early stages, and much research and testing are required to fully understand the implications and outcomes. It will be interesting to see how these endeavors unfold and what possibilities they may hold for both industries in the future.

Like u said only thing we know for sure is it had hindu in it the rest is guess work/conjecture the whole og thing was only to denote it from other things folks were selling at the time and calling it kush so og as in original as in thats the kush your looking for i dont think its ocean grown or original gangster the og moniker is just to say its the real og kush imo i agree a nice og is great but then again so is a nice proper true hindu kush

Yes its interesting they been a seperate sub species for at least 300 million years maybe more i think sterility will be a issue because of that though

While hops and cannabis are both in the family cannabaceae, you cannot cross hops and cannabis, just doesn't work. They are separate species, and not genetically compatable. Yes, you can graft one to the other, but you cannot cross pollinate them. If you graft cannabis to hops rootstock the resulting flowers will be cannabis, but will not hybridize with hops. If you graft hops to cannabis rootstock, the resulting flowers are hops and they have no THC. Crossing the two has been tried for years, but no one has been successful. Nor can I see a real reason why it would be advantageous.

They’ve been talking grafting hops onto cannabis since the 60’s at least along with psychedelic morning glory seeds and smoking bananas. I know because I was there. None of it worked. But it was interesting trying it!
