Totally agree about hyped strains.i dont know how many times iv heard loads of hype about a particular strain being AMAZING only to find out once iv went out my way to get it and grow it that its usually average pish when your kinda expecting something amazing.i avoided gsc for years until i spoke with a guy i KNEW wouldnt hype it up and he told me it was well worth growing...I think the fact that OG is attached to so much LORE is the reason this topic gets beat to death, many times I have had great Kush that beat any Hyped OG, just the way it is, strain gets enough hype and it ends up perpetuating to some kind of legendary status, fact is any OG or Kush can be recreated and it has been many times with many different names. Asking for the real OG now would be asking for the real Cola, as in the soft drink, they all taste the similar some like one brand over another, the recipe is copied tweaked and polluted to the point where anything close is satisfactory.
You could call it what ever you like but if its not got a certain lineage or a certain structure and taste you would be the only one calling it og. an og is just a really pungent weed with a specific structure and taste.its just a term people use for a type of plant that fits a certain criteria.it used to be if it wasnt an og kush elite cut then it wasnt an og.people are just taking this subject way to seriously nowadays.Yes...I do not understand the differences between those 3 "strains".
I can appreciate the fact that this topic may have been debated and discussed to death, but not everyone has been privy to those debates and discussions.
Not too long ago, in simpler times, things were quite different: there was Indica and Sativa, then Afghanica was added, then there were seemingly distinct strains like Northern Lights, White Widow, Romulan, C99, Skunk #1, etc., etc., etc. Then I heard about Bubba Kush and in no time at all Kush (whatever that was) had taken over and was THE weed to have. I saw a true crime show one time about a drug dealer who got murdered because what he sold to another dude as Kush was just plain, regular weed. Perhaps the "plain, regular weed" was just Mexi-Schwag, but gangsta's aren't known for selling that crap are they? Won' get any reliable customers that way!
I think Kush is just a marketing concept now; it has become a brand. There's this Kush and that Kush. According to High Times, the consistently number one seller is Kush. Which, to me, leads inevitably leads to the conclusion that greed (i.e., making more money from one's product) is the reason behind the countless different Kushes out there.
I mean, I could cross almost any two strains and call the result Nuclear Winter Kush, which would probably sell a lot better than Nuclear Winter, 'eh?
