Strain Families Og Types
OG strains represent a foundational lineage in cannabis breeding, historically associated with California cultivation practices. The term "OG" (often attributed to "Original Gangster" or "Ocean Grown") emerged in the 1990s and became applied to multiple distinct genetic families rather than a single terpene profile. OG-type strains commonly exhibit earthy, piney, and citrus aromatic notes, though terpene composition varies significantly between individual OG crosses. Lineage records frequently report OG ancestry within both indica-dominant and hybrid cultivars. Understanding OG genetics remains relevant for breeders studying parent-plant selection and regional adaptation patterns.

Breeders working with OG genetics often select for trait stability across generations, including plant structure, flowering time, and aromatic consistency. OG lineages serve as established reference points when documenting hybrid vigor and backcrossing protocols in controlled breeding programs.
