Which OG?

Accounts name the Kush differently: Leafly’s strain page says a sub-type of OG Kush, Leafly’s genealogy a Flo Rida OG, and the Cookie Family told High Times in 2014 it was a legendary Kush a friend brought to San Francisco around 1994.2,7,8 Prime Cuts Nursery’s guide ties the two together, saying the Flo Rida OG was reportedly brought from Jacksonville, Florida, to San Francisco around 1994 (see genetics).9
