I also think simply tagging OG on a variety is neither original or a guarantee that the name will denote differentiation. In the mid 2000's OG really took off and everyone started throwing the OG tag on their gear just to make it sell for more money; this was done on some pretty garbage herb too. So coming up with Underdawg OG really does not distinguish your variety as unique or original. In fact I do feel their would be a bit less confusion if it was still simply known as Loompa's HB.
I also wanted to respond to this excerpt and I forgot. I want this to be public also.......So Why did I change the name from HB to Underdawg......very good question.
Back in the day just after I realized how good it was, I started doing research. All my research kept coming back to the Chemdog story. I began to think that I had somehow acquired the infamous HB from the legend. So about this time I had started the collective and was providing medicine to clubs in California. I was calling it HB at that time. But then one day the 707 HB cut came out and every single mother fucking commercial grower was growing it. The price I was getting for my HB started to drop because no one could get it through their head, that my cut was different. That coupled with the fact that a fake HB cut showed up on the scene, AND every single commercial grower out there was growing it, and growing it like SHIT, that I couldnt compete. My HB is a lower yielder than the 707. So while these guys are pumping out 2 lbs a light and selling it at 2200 a pound, I grow my HB and all anyone wants to pay is 2200, but my HB is heads and tales better, it also produces less so I would get 1.25 pounds a light and was getting my ass kicked because I refuse to grow commercial. So I changed the name. At that time I thought what I had was the real HB, and according to the story, it was aka Underdawg. So I changed to that name trying to remain truthful about what I had and still get myself out of the HB fools gold rush. Then I start getting flac about my cut being fake and I didnt have the real HB. So Im sitting here thinking to myself....."what the fuck do I do now....change the name AGAIN?? And my decision was instead of creating more confusion, Id just leave it at Underdawg, but tag on the OG at the end, because in the end, thats what it is, an OG. That is how it all came to be. Fault me if you want, but it was innocent, and its just kind of how and in what order the info became available to me.
