For anyone who thinks “OG is dead,” it’s time to tune in and rethink that with this episode featuring the true keepers of OG genetics from Northern California.
Blackleaf catches up with Alex and Cody from Northern Emeralds (@northernemeralds), a respected and longstanding brand that’s been growing classic strains for over a decade. Their mission? To cultivate top-tier OG varieties and bring them to the people.
In this episode, Alex and Cody share why they believe many have lost the ability to grow real OG, how they’ve managed to keep their operating procedures public for those willing to learn, and why their prices have remained consistent for ten years. Interestingly, their core consumer group is between 45-60 years old, proving that there’s still a loyal fan base for classic strains.
Few cultivators in California can say they’ve specialized in OG for over a decade while maintaining their prices and refusing to compromise on quality. As California’s market continues to shift, Alex and Cody provide valuable insight into what’s kept them steady, while others rush to the bottom.
You’ll also hear their unique life stories, from Cody’s upbringing with parents who lived on the edge of the law to Alex’s experiences across the globe. These personal journeys are as compelling as the growing knowledge they share, making this episode one-of-a-kind. How many people can say they’ve had conversations with authorities about whether their family members could return to the U.S.?
If you’re a cultivator or home grower struggling to get the most out of your OG plants, this episode is packed with tips on how to perfect your grow. Alex and Cody explain the “freshness window” of cannabis and why OG strains need specific care, with insights that can elevate your results.

Skunk! I am tired of limonene terpenes!
BlackLeaf: Ethos OG Kush auto aka OG Kush Rbx5 is Fiya its basically like a Sour Kush with a SFV Donor and it Smacks Onset is perfect OG Uplift in like seconds its that perfect relaxed OG Vibe but minimal if any significant couchlock to a smoker. I Slept on this grew it to test out an early grow season and See what their autos were about and it is getting regrown just for headstash. I have a real double outdoor season and tents and shit I can grow whatever I want this OG is Fire for home head stash small plants a few feet tall nothing but fat nug stacked and its Fiya its also called Pluto cut but I am not sure of the percentages of what on this cross it smokes like a Fire OG w a little Sour uplift I guess Grow it Thank me forever
Tyson 2.0 They Shitt All Fiya.,….
Mike Tyson has Great Taste I Bought all of his Royal Queen Seeds Drop I Love all the Same strains it takes a Lot to Knock Some of Us Out bare knuckled boxing street champion these hands nice asf I dont get touched Paris Islands Finest multi generation Nicest Guy you Will Ever Meet….
I Also Wanna First Smoke then Keep Smoking Runtz and Biscotti All Day, but then the days just become nights….Solution? Smoke the early picks LOL and Smoke Some BOOF AZZZ Haze and Sours….LOL
Cannabis gets stronger over time and it gets better. you have a more racy high on a fresh pick especially a fresh early pick, but the smoke gets more intense over time and the THC builds. it does NOT go away nor degrade it increases, according to new studies, and from my vast long term experience doing long term cure batches. I tested some like 4 year old Blueberry the other day that was great years ago but OUT OF THIS WORLD 3-4 years later….the resin is like gasoline it does NOT expire nor does it "go bad" it biochemically SYNTHESIZES off of remaining bio material and increases slowly over time until hitting a maximal "asymtote" wherein biochemical conversion potential has been exhausted. Biochemical inventor and speed reader of scientific abstracts ad nauseum as well as a medicinal cannabis user since a kid. Some of yall need to find out before saying to the whole world what is really good THC does NOT go bad! OK Thanks Dont worry We'll Put yall on MORE GAME as Time Goes On….Stay Lit Smoke OG Especially SFV and TAHOE Avoid Bubba during the day its the Bane of My Life I Wanna Rip Bubba all day the days just become nights….
I Love this Episode and am Specifically Running SFV and Tahoe Super Hard this year because of this episode and because some batches of OG I was sleeping on you know smoking a lot of Runtz and Biscotti and Gelato instead I started hitting up and have just been loving….there really is nothing better than some Fire OG Kush it was back in the day a strain I would be OK w having only that to smoke if I could only get 1 quarter….the immediate onset of euphoria in a perfect way not too crazy like Cookies can be or Green Crack or whatever with that super chill but OG Kush specific relaxed vibe is just on point all across the board. it isnt a full smile or a whole faced explosion of laughter it is the smug satisfied look of self satisfaction knowing you have perfect medicine, and everything is going to be OK. Long live OG Kush Long live SFV and Tahoe….Long Live Northern Emeralds….Long Live Blackleaf and PackGods. Long Live all of you wonderful humans. Peace and 1
Advertise raw and smoke elements 🤣
Grow it like a tomato plant. It may not turn out like the pros but you’ll learn as you go. The best way to learn something new.

Getting your Banana GMO today, need some gas for the weekend
Is it any coincidence that the best episodes of FSOTD are the ones where Packgods is absent? These conversations focus more on culture and science and passion vs "the game" "hustle" and being a "leader" which is all Packgods seems to care about. Just my opinion.
I’m a la native I miss the og kush strain and old schools strain I’m tired of this fruity sweet strains bring backs the gas and shout out to NE for keeping this strain going
