OG Kush lineage and family tree

OG Kush is one of the most searched foundation names in modern cannabis. Exact early breeding notes are incomplete, and different circles tell different origin stories.

Many sources link OG Kush to Chemdawg and a Kush/Hindu Kush influence. Because early records conflict, treat deep ancestry as partly Unknown unless a specific cut’s breeder publishes a clear cross.

The family is known for fuel, pine, and earthy citrus aromas in classic cuts, and for feeding later Cookies, Bubba, and countless “OG” hybrids.

Use a small local tree on each strain page: parents → this cut → children and siblings. Do not invent a 50,000-node graph.
