Josh Del Rosso is one half of the reason OG Kush conquered the world. His friend Matt Berger brought the cutting from Florida, and in 1996 the two of them set up in a small Silverlake room in Los Angeles and started growing it. Demand did the rest.

As copies spread across California under the same name, Matt and Josh started calling theirs OG Kush to mark it as the original. Josh has grown it more or less exclusively ever since, and he says it plainly: OG became the backbone, the cornerstone of the genetic library of cannabis.

The crosses below carry the plant that came out of that Silverlake room.
