That's right the seeds is from 1991 and the cut reached L.A in 1996.
Now we know that the link that passed the cut to Todd Mccormick ain't related to Matt or Josh, and that those two guys are still alive today.
A friend of Matt's bro, called it "kush". Although none of them did have knowledge of the Kush mountains at the time, yet that they had cannabis there. According to Matt, the name came as a joke. The guy said "This look like Kush berries". I looked all over about Kush berries didn't find anything lol...
We also know that Breal and the crew named it OG to avoid confusion between the different kush floating in L.A area at that time. People used to ask for the kush, but were getting different buds. So they started to ask for the OriGinal Kush, then Original Gansta Kush.
Easy to imagine how it went for those guys. Hollywood stars, rappers, gangsters and many more, were paying top dollars for those buds.
Now the question is what were those buds Matt had that originated the seeds. There's a few theories that are possible. Won't speculate on that. Obviously some people are doing DNA testing, so we soon know.
When I arrived in California and started collecting strains in the winter of 1997, David brought me probably a dozen different clones, none of which was anything like the cutting I would later receive from my friends in Los Angeles and who called it "O.G. Kush". David never met that other group of friends and had nothing to do with OG. I understand why he would love to take credit for OG but – there is no nexus that I know of and I was there.
Thanks for taking the time to share some facts. You said that the guy from Florida who brought the cut to your connection, died in a ski accident around 2004, and thats why you guys thought it will be good to sahre the cut with the community.
The probleme is the guy that brought the cut from Florida to California in 1996, is not dead. Both ORGNKID and Breal can attest as well as Josh, his L.A friend. The guy name Matt Berger and you can find him online. So If by any chance you could talk to your connection about this, I will appreciate to hear whats whats on this matter.
