Og Family
The 'OG family' refers to a lineage classification rather than a single terpene, originating from cultivars commonly associated with West Coast cannabis breeding in the 1990s–2000s. Strains tagged as OG-type—including OG Kush, SFV OG, and related offspring—often display complex terpene profiles featuring myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene as dominant compounds. Lineage records frequently report earthy, piney, and citrus aromatic notes across this family, though individual phenotypes vary considerably. The OG designation has become a breeding category rather than a scientifically defined terpene group, reflecting shared ancestry and cultivar characteristics among breeders working in this space. Understanding OG genetics requires examining both terpene composition and documented parentage.

Breeders use OG genetics as foundational stock for hybrid development, crossing OG-type plants with other lineages to combine desired traits—vigor, terpene profiles, or morphology. The OG family's established growing patterns and aromatic consistency make it a reference point for phytochemical stability in controlled breeding programs.
