Sup frosty, how's it going?
I'm sure you know there are a million stories about OGK so it's hard/impossible to say who is right, especially with "chemdog" never talking about it, but one thing I wanted to point out:
The tahoe, sfv, larry and fire cuts are 99% the same. This is no dis to you, as there have been so many fakes or other bullshit going around (it's gotten better in the last few years), but if you are seeing these as significantly different strains likely the ones that are off are mislabeled. While everything else is up for debate I guarantee you if those cuts are turning out differently for you, you should try sourcing them again.
As far as that story, personally I think the breeding details are bullshit. I believe the story about OGK being the product of a selfed chemdawg, which became the tahoe cut. For a good while that was the only cut around. Then later the SFV cut moved around, which according to swerve was that tahoe "with some work done". They are so similar though (but not identical) that it's hard for me to believe there was a totally different male involved. I wouldn't be surprised to find out SFV was a S1 of the tahoe S1.
That story was written by a seed breeder, and I'm sure I don't need to tell you the long tradition of BS there is in that industry. If I was trying to work anything from the chem etc. lineage from seed I'd stick to rez's stuff. Not that other folks don't have the mom's but rezdog seems to be the most straightforward about what he does to seed the elites. Soma and greenhouse both are hard to trust imo.
what I think:
chemdawg = bagseed
tahoe ogk = chemdawg s1 (also tahoe = larry ?)
sfv ogk = tahoe ogk s1 or tahoe ogk x unknown (also fire = sfv)
abusive ogk = not either of those, who knows
??random named ogk?? = like 75% of these are the sfv cut, rest are crosses done by random people
So basically I don't think anyone, even those in the know really know what's in OGK, as it's bagseed that got cloned and then hermied. And there isn't even any kush in it :D. Only exception may be whatever male helped produce the sfv cut if that really was a breeding project.
peace.
I dont even know where to begin bro, i have a feeling you've come across these cuts from buying herb, and not from people that are growing it. Heres some more info on your OG cuts, my friends out west tell me you can MOST DEFINETELY tell the difference in them:
here's some more info, from a friend that has grown them all...
-Tahoe= cut brough into the community by Swerve. The grower that Swerve got it from had sourced the cut in the Lake Tahoe area in the 90's.
-Larry= The Orange County Larry cut that is availble in the medical scene came from the same Orange County crew that the H.A O.G Kush came from
-SFV= There are a million O.G cuts grown in the S.F.V, however the cut that goes by this name on these forums and in medical disp. came from forum member Swerve
-Ghost= This cut came from ORGNKID, ORGNKID had sold a O.G cut to a Overgrow forum member named "Ghost" who further distributed the cut.
-Tripple OG= This cut came from ORGNKID. This cut is A.K.A Triple X/XXX O.G Kush. Triple O.G was popularly sold to medical patients by the now defunct C.A.L.M disp. of Malibu.
-Abusive= This cut was brought into the community by an overgrow member named "Abusive", believe it or not Abusive claimed to have got the cut through the rapper Snoop Dogg.
-SAC#2= Cut brought into the scene by forum member O.Gkushman, O.Gkushman got the cut from DJ Muggs.
-P.R OG A.K.A Private Reserve O.G= Another O.G cut that ORGNKID brought into the scene. The cut was sold to Med patients as Private Reserve O.G through the now defunct C.A.L.M disp. of Malibu.
-Apothecary = O.G cut brought into the scene by the apothecary seed co's Brett. Brett got it from a high profile Medical MJ activist in L.A back in 1999
-Diablo= This = cut came from the R.D.C disp. In the San Fernando Valley
-Raskal's/Fire OG= Another cut sourced in the San Fernando Valley. Cut was bought for several thousand dollers from ******* ***** members by a friends of forum member OGraskal
-HA OG= Cut came from an commercial H.A room in Orange County, grown by the same crew that brought the Orange County Larry cut into the medical Disp.
-Poison OG=Cut came from O.Gkushman, he grew it from seed found in a pound of O.G back in ‘96
-SAC#1 & #3= #1 came from G-Thumb in the San Fernando Valley, #3 came from San Fernando Valley but is very popular in Santa Barbara and sometimes goes by the name “Purple O.G Kush”, the cut was brought into the scene by the owner of the now defunct Hortipharm in Santa Barbara
edit: also gotta remember, all these "clone" only strains originally were bagseed, or rather seed bought from a seedbank, in which case there could very well be multiple phenos. After reading all these "og" phenos, i have a gut feeling a few of them are not accurate, its also well know swerve has bullshitted lots of his stories, or rather wasn't 100% truthful
