CULTIVAR FIELD NOTES

OG Kush

hybridFlorida, USA

OG Kush is a hybrid name central to several later catalog families, including GSC and Headband. Leafly describes a Florida-to-California history but qualifies the proposed early cross rather than documenting a settled pedigree. Its listed aroma descriptors include wood, pine and earth, while its chemistry section names myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene. The uncertain origin story is retained as an attributed account; a shared OG name does not establish identical ancestry or chemistry.

How to read these relationships

Parent links describe a reported cross. Ancestry components may be several generations back. A phenotype selection comes from a named line rather than a new two-parent cross. Disputed links retain the uncertainty of their source.

Names in this catalog open a strain profile. Other names open the reference describing the relationship. The family view shows the links currently documented here, not every known descendant.

Tahoe OG is described as a phenotype of OG Kush rather than a separately documented two-parent cross. Tahoe OG Kush is another name for the same catalog profile.

Northern Lights

Northern Lights is listed by Leafly as an indica with reported Afghani and Thai ancestry. Its history section treats the Seattle origin story as a rumor and describes later distribution through the Netherlands. That uncertainty is part of the record, not a missing detail to fill by guesswork. Pine, earth and wood appear in its reader flavor tags. Numbered selections such as Northern Lights #5 require their own provenance rather than automatic equivalence with this broader entry.

  • Leafly — og kush catalog parameters

    Leafly catalog summary values, not laboratory results for a specific sample. A displayed 0% is a rounded source value, not proof of absence. Unlisted cannabinoids remain unknown. Terpene names and documented order come from the catalog; concentrations are not supplied. Effects, flavors and negative effects are reader-reported tags. The report count covers the profile as a whole, not individual tags.

  • Leafly — OG Kush: identity recheck

    Identity check: Leafly qualifies the proposed Northern California/Chemdawg/Lemon Thai/Hindu Kush background and describes a 1996 move to Los Angeles. Still needed: primary historical corroboration and a resolved crossing sequence. Do not convert this narrative into a verified two-parent cross. The THC value is a catalog reference, not a newly checked laboratory result.
