Og Lineages

OG Lineages refer to cannabis strains descended from early California-bred OG Kush genetics, which emerged in the 1990s. These strains typically express a distinctive terpene profile often dominated by myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, creating aromas commonly associated with pine, fuel, and citrus notes. OG Lineages have become foundational in modern cannabis breeding programs, serving as parent material for countless hybrid crosses. Breeders working in this category frequently pursue OG-derived genetics to maintain or modify the strain family's recognizable aromatic and growth characteristics. The lineage encompasses both pure OG cultivars and their crosses with other established families, representing a significant portion of documented cannabis genetics.

OG Lineages function as reliable genetic anchors in breeding programs, offering consistent terpene expression and established growing patterns. Breeders often cross OG-descended strains with other cultivars to introduce their aromatic profile or plant structure traits to new hybrid lines.
