OGKB
Also known as: OG Kush Breath, OGKB GSC
Breeder: Cookie Fam (Jigga) — GSC phenotype selection
OGKB is a clone-only Girl Scout Cookies phenotype that became one of the most important breeding parents in modern cannabis. It produces the largest colas of all GSC cuts with a unique mutant-like leaf structure, caryophyllene-forward cookie-fuel terpene profile, and heavy sedative effects. Its difficult grow habits motivated breeders to cross it with more vigorous males, producing Do-Si-Dos, Mendo Breath, and Peanut Butter Breath—some of the most commercially successful strains of the 2010s-2020s.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: Girl Scout Cookies phenotype (OG Kush x F1 Durban)
As a GSC phenotype, OGKB inherits OG Kush's fuel, pine, and lemon terpene notes plus potency ceiling, and F1 Durban's doughy, herbal, slightly spicy character. OGKB specifically expresses the indica side more heavily than Forum Cut, with shorter internodes, wider leaves, denser buds, and a more sedating effect profile. It reliably transmits dark coloration, short internodes, heavy trichome coverage, and caryophyllene-forward chemistry to offspring.
Lineage Dispute
OGKB is a clone-only phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies, not a distinct cross. The name comes from the ICMag user 'OGKushBreath' who first shared the cut publicly. NorCalKid documented it with a side-by-side Forum Cut GSC grow. Sometimes confused with DHN Platinum Cookies. OGKB 2.0 (Mycotek) and OGKB V2.1 (In House Genetics) are separate derivative strains.
Terpene Profile
Caryophyllene — Dominant at 0.4-0.9%; provides the spicy, peppery backbone and anti-inflammatory CB2 activity
Limonene — Present at 0.2-0.8%; adds citrus brightness and mood-lifting properties
Myrcene — Found at 0.2-0.8%; contributes herbal earthiness and drives body sedation
Humulene — Present at 0.1-0.4%; adds hoppy, woody undertones
Linalool — Found at 0.05-0.2%; provides floral lavender softness
Pinene — Trace at 0.05-0.2%; adds fresh pine accent
Aroma: Pungent 'halitosis-like' funk (hence the 'Breath' name) layered over sweet cookie dough. The OG side contributes fuel, pine, and lemon; the Durban side adds doughy, herbal, slightly spicy notes.
Flavor: Fresh nutty vanilla inhale with berry herbal exhale that grows spicier. Earthy undertones with skunky cheese on the finish.
Effects & Experience
Onset: Near-immediate mood lift that slowly builds into heavy body sedation over 10-15 minutes
Starts with warm giggly euphoria, then a slow melt into deep couch-lock. Heavier body load than most GSC phenotypes. Appetite stimulation is pronounced. Mental chatter quiets as the body stone takes hold.
Duration: Long-lasting, 2-4 hours
Commonly Reported Uses
Growing Characteristics
Grow Tips: Slow vegetative growth with unique mutant-like leaf structure (wide, rounded leaflets). Stacks the largest colas of all GSC cuts but challenging yields—a key reason Archive Seed Bank crossed it with Face Off OG to create Do-Si-Dos. Prune aggressively for airflow through the dense canopy. Heavy trichome production makes it excellent for hash and concentrates.
History & Origin
OGKB is a clone-only phenotype selected from Jigga's original Girl Scout Cookies line (OG Kush x F1 Durban). The cut was first shared publicly by ICMag user 'OGKushBreath' in the early 2010s. NorCalKid documented it extensively, growing it side-by-side with Forum Cut GSC and noting its distinct mutant-like leaf structure, larger colas, and heavier indica effects. OGKB became a foundational breeding parent: Archive Seed Bank's Fletcher Watson crossed it with Face Off OG BX1 to create Do-Si-Dos (2016), Gage Green Genetics crossed it with Mendo Montage for Mendo Breath, and ThugPug later combined both lineages into Peanut Butter Breath. OGKB sits at the nexus connecting older OG Kush lines to the modern Cookies/Cakes/Breath wave of cannabis genetics.
