When I first started smoking cannabis, I was just blissful to get good cannabis without seeds as well as stems.
I rarely remember getting actual strains until I got to university.
And even then, half of the time my neighbor had no plan what the weed was even called when he was selling it to me. On many chances every one of us got a strain simply called “Pinepear,” but whether or not it was the Pinepear OG strain or some cut of Pinepear Express, I cannot say. The same goes with Blueberry, since this moniker is periodically given to Blueberry tasting strains instead of the indica originally called “Blueberry.” Now that I can purchase products in a legal cannabis market, I can finally get real strains without wondering about the genetic origins. So far I am having the best luck with strains that are hybrids of landrace varieties like Thai, Mexican, HIan, as well as Afghani. For years I couldn’t find OG Kush which is a famed strain made from Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, as well as Hindu Kush. I study that it originated in Florida as well as was brought to California by a grower known as “Bubba” of the Bubba Kush fame. Before Bubba Kush was made, the grower named Bubba had a strain called “The Bubba.” Learning all of this history behind some of my number one cannabis strains was an interesting experience. I’m hoping that I will see quality OG Kush available again from local dispensaries, because it is one of my number one cannabis varieties. Unlike the pure indica Hindu Kush, OG Kush is technically a hybrid strain. Depending on which phenotype of OG Kush you find, the effects could be sativa or indica leaning.
