They chose these genetics, because they needed a plant, that was small in size, grew fast and produced good quality buds.

Grower Matt ”Bubba” Berger supposedly created a strain named Krippy, that was later on called Kush, after his friends called the buds Kush Berries, because of the colour and overall look. When this strain landed in LA, a grower named Josh D supposedly created the first version of OG Kush. This strain quickly spread around and became No. 1 in the US.
