Long before the medical marijuana and recreational cannabis era, California was known as a land where growers fully cared about genetics and cultivation. In the counterculture days of the 1960s, the Emerald Triangle of NorCal was transformed into the largest cannabis-producing region in the United States because of its ideal farming conditions. Around the same time, the SoCal growing scene was mostly hydroponic and clandestine, but the genetics were on point.
In the 80s, Long Beach indoor growers crossed various landraces and hybrids that ranged from Afghani to Kush and from Sour Diesel to Haze. By the time the medical and recreational markets opened across California, growers in the LBC had developed a nice seed bank along with a substantial body of genetics research. This paved the way for OG Kush, the strain that fueled the recording of Dr. Dre’s blockbuster album “2001.”
OG Kush is a strain developed by Brett Feldman, co-founder of Wonderbrett of Long Beach. Even when growers were mostly focused on knockout strains during the medical marijuana era, Wonderbrett in Long Beach was focused on the development of premium strains. If you enjoy top-shelf cannabis with great THC/CBD ratios and flavorful terpenes, here are two Wonderbrett strains for you to enjoy in the LBC:
Papaya:
This is an indica-dominant strain with high THC content and surprisingly smooth flavors. Highly recommended for euphoric sessions with friends.
Melon OG:
Here you have a tastier variation on the classic OG Kush strain. This strain burns evenly to deliver a complex flavor profile with sweet cantaloupe notes.
