L’OG Kush is one of today's best-known varieties. This variety, which appeared in the 1990s, is also the basis of many modern hybrids. With THC levels as high as 24%, it's no wonder this variety has become so famous.
Its genetics, however, are a mystery. It is thought to have originated from a few bags of seeds in Florida and later cultivated by the people behind Imperial Genetics in California. The best hypotheses are that it's a mixture between a Chemdawg and a Hindu Kush, then mixed with a Lemon Thai and a secret Californian variety
