Scott’s OG was created by Colorado seed bank Rare Dankness between 2010 and 2011.

There’s a misperception it’s named for Rare Dankness founder Scott Reach (whose nickname “Moonshine” was the inspiration for the seed bank’s Moonshine Haze.) In reality, the strain’s named for Reach’s close friend, legendary breeder Scott Blakey, aka Shantibaba. Reach said Scott’s OG is an extremely potent bud that often tests above 25% THC. It’s been used as the base for crosses by countless up-and-coming seed companies.

The strain is a cross between a Triangle Kush female he acquired during his time with the Devil’s Harvest Krew, and pollen from a Rare Dankness #1 male. He said the Triangle Kush used to create this hybrid was commonly traded among trusted growers in the early days of the “green rush” when open genetics sharing was more common.
