Og Genetics

OG Genetics refers to the foundational lineage work emerging from West Coast cannabis breeding in the 1990s, particularly associated with strains like OG Kush and its derivatives. Rather than a single terpene, OG Genetics represents a breeding category characterized by specific cannabinoid ratios, terpene profiles (often featuring caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene), and plant structure traits that breeders have selectively reinforced. Lineage records frequently report OG-descended strains display dense flower structure, moderate to high resin production, and stable phenotypic expression across generations. This genetic framework has become foundational in modern cannabis breeding, used as both a pure line and as parent material for hybrid development across multiple markets.

Breeders working in this category value OG Genetics for stable trait inheritance, particularly regarding terpene stability and flowering time consistency. OG-type genetics serve as reliable parent stock for creating hybrid vigor while maintaining recognizable sensory and structural characteristics.
