The best thing about the different cannabis varieties in the market today is the fact that some of them are bred to be the better versions of their parent strains or at least acquire their best qualities.
Having said that, strains can also differ when it comes to their most notable characteristics.
To wit, there are those that appeal more to recreational users with their astounding THC levels while others are deemed more useful for patients suffering from various health issues.
Apparently, these are all made possible by the breeders who meticulously pick out the best varieties to breed to develop a new one that has most of, if not all, the superior qualities that users are looking for.
To wit, below is a collection of information about one particular strain called the SFV OG Kush which can easily be considered as a spitting image of its parent strains.
In fact, it is often confused with one of its parents due to the similarities of their name and characteristics.
SVF is short for San Fernando Valley–the place where the strain was fist popularized.
The Cali Connection bred the SVF OG Kush that originally started out as a phenotype of the original SFV OG.
They later decided to cross it with the Afghani strain to further improve the strain’s overall quality.

SVF OG Kush is recognized for its properties that closely resemble that of its parent strains.

Apparently, impressive potency is a common characteristic of the OG lineage.
At the onset, users may experience a slight euphoria that leaves them feeling happy and a bit spacey.

The physical high is usually quite heavy for most users, but still very calming and relaxing.
The buzz starts in the lower spine and later spreads throughout the user’s entire body.
By then, the user may feel weighed down and sleepy which can be the manifestation of the sedative properties of the strain.
Fragrance

That being said, users can expect the SVF OG Kush to have the same distinct aroma of sweet yet skunky scents of earth and pine that actually reflects its lineage
