Yo first post ever as im new here, but yeah OG18 is my fav strain. came to roll it up looking if anyone has a cut from 08'-13'. i had it but it started to seed itself after 10 years. i suspect maybe this is what happened to the DNA guys stock breeder plant??. But yeah my 18 cut came from michigan as well as my close friends kandy kush cut.

in 2020 i purchased a pack of 6 og 18's and 3 kandy kush from true north seed bank and got 2 og 18 freebies. started em all and gave away the short plants to a close friend. I had two keeper 18's, one tall n purple, one normal green. both yielded similar but totally diff looking on outside, same awesome smelly insides tho. all 18s smoke terrific!! kandy kush was tall og style nugs that had a happy high and also yielded well. loved it too.

lost those plants to powder mildew. i kno right. any way i seen Midnight Roots, (a breeder ?) out of michigan has og 18 crosses. any word on them or their crosses?

Lucky you. Not so much luck for me.

I did a 3 pack order back in March for Tangie, OG18 and Lemon OG and got 6 free OG Kush seeds from Reserva and DNA.

All 6 Tangie seeds were duds. 2 cracked and 4 never opened after 2 weeks. When I opened them up I found brown mush inside. Nothing resembling an embryo.

The OG18 gave me 1 of 5 plants that was worth smoking. It was very good but very small yield. The rest went in the bubble hash making bag. Almost a pound of garbage that smelled of peanuts and almonds.

The Lemon OG gave me 2 nice plants out of 5 seeds. None with the old Lemon OG smell. No one wanted it. Into the bubble hash bag with another 10 ounces.

The OG Kush freebies all popped. 6 plants that smelled like peanuts and almonds. Not one fuel smelling plant out of any of them. Over a pound for the bubble hash bag.

Goodbye Reserva Privada and DNA

I would def tell em byebye too. what a shame. ive been runnin some Crockett farms and its my new go to atm. i kept two SSOG (super silver haze x og kush x og 18) plants out of a fem 3 pack. awesome plants just the nose is floral not funky. I also ran his cherry 18 3 pack and they was very nice, just very subtle nose, small cherry flav. also done his sour banana sherbert and it has been the loudest nose ive ran. straight funk fruit fuel, big yield too. i currently am going thru some turbo diesel by him. they are looking very frosty at week 3ish. Bought my mom a pack of his sour banana's to run. see what they about soon.

You probably got lucky with those tangies not popping. I grew that like 5 years ago or so. One turned into a full blown intersex like halfway though. Never have seen anything even remotely like thay before. That being said one did turn out really good (the rest we eh) and I kept it for a couple of years…but you get tired of tangie quick if you know what I mean.

Used to grown a good few of there strains a few years back. one my fav was a freebie was a purple wreck but when it got back instock and brought a pack wasn’t anything like the first, Was just the there fems I used to buy. Done there sour d and kosher both was good but couldn’t stand the og18 hated the smell of it.

I have lots of there work...alot of sold out or discontinued stuff like chocolate fondue etc etc (2014-2015)

Im sure some crosses use the original breeding stock from older packs.

Wouldnt trust anything from them nowdays

My favorite strain they’ve released was Sour Kush. The terps were insane on every pheno. I had a good tangilope pheno also. The DNA Grow Your Own line is really nice from my experience. I’ve ran 4 phenos of GYO Florida Gold, two were excellent, 1 was great, one was good. Really strong and potent smoke

I had some of their OG 18 grown from a recent pack-not by me though-which was excellent and is making me take a second look at them. "Losing their parents" is a classic tactic invented by a certain famous Dutchman to discredit his competitors many years ago, and it worked like a charm, and it appears to be still in use.

Og18 just might be my favorite smoke ive ever had..and it came from a freebie seed around 2003 from attitude.. did outstanding outdoors and the buds were tight and frosted.. great taste and potent as hell..even looked like indoor after it was trimmed up.

I had received the gifts seeds of their new cross sorbet. Sorbet Dreams and Blood orange sorbet. I grew them outdoors, I only regret germinating them late in mid-June, especially the Blood orange sorbet (tangie x sorbet) was great. Crazy smell that fully reflected the description of the strain. Great strain in everything.

a photo of the orange sorbet at the beginning of flowering:
