OG Genetics Certification

⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 163

An effort to authenticate and certify the genetic identity of OG Kush and related cannabis varieties. Uses controlled cultivation and terpene profiling to establish standards so consumers and breeders can trust strain labels. If a strain claims to be an OG, it should demonstrate the characteristic aroma, terpene, and effect profile.

Craig Johnson works to verify OG genetics, addressing widespread mislabeling in the cannabis market. Discussed in context of the Trichome Institute's sensory analysis work — if you can't verify genetics by smell profile, how can the market maintain strain integrity?
