Fire OG

1. Summary

Fire OG is a Southern California OG Kush clone "made famous in online forums by OG Raskal". OG Raskal Genetics distributed it and used it as the parent of White Fire OG (WiFi). Its reverence as a clone is well-supported in High Times coverage from 2014 onward and in OG Raskal's own post quoted on Seedfinder.¹²³ What Fire OG is is disputed:

• An ICMag history (2019) lists "Fire" among the early cuts that spread from Josh D's circle around 1999–2000, which would make it a Josh D OG cut.⁴
• Leafly and Cannigma call it "OG Kush × SFV OG (Kush)".⁵³
• Weedmaps describes a Cali Connection version as a 50/50 cross of Raskal's OG Kush and SFV OG Kush. That is a seed line, not the clone.⁶

No genotype data were found. Fire OG is a parent of many well-known strains. Breeders' own statements as printed in High Times give Animal Cookies (GSC × Fire OG), Chem Fire (Chem D × Fire OG male, BC Bud Depot), Hellraiser OG (Fire OG × Face Off OG BX1, Archive), Night Nurse and Extreme OG.¹⁷⁸⁹¹⁰

3. Genetics & lineage claims

3a. An early Josh D-circle OG cut ("Fire") from the 1999–2000 spread

Confidence: reported (a single forum history).⁴

3b. OG Kush × SFV OG (Kush)

Confidence: reported (secondary databases only; possibly a conflation with seed lines).⁵³

3c. Cali Connection "Fire OG" = Raskal's OG Kush × SFV OG Kush (50/50), or "Fire OG × OG 'X'"

Confidence: reported (reseller/secondary listings of a seed version).⁶¹²

4. Notable descendants (breeder statements as printed)

• White Fire OG — The White × Fire OG; OG Raskal "reversed White clone only male pollen" onto "the famed fire OG kush clone we brought to the community" (see white-fire-og).²³
• Hellraiser OG (Archive/ThaDocta) = Fire OG × Face Off OG BX1; 10 weeks; light feeder.¹
• Chem Fire (BC Bud Depot) = the original Chem D cut × a Fire OG stud.⁷
• Night Nurse (BC Bud Depot) = (BC Hashplant × Reeferman's Harmony) × Fire OG Kush male; 3rd Hybrid at the 2014 Amsterdam Cup.⁹
• Animal Cookies = GSC × Fire OG (as parent of Apple Fritter).⁸
• Extreme OG (Exotic Genetix) = Fire OG × Green Ribbon backcross; the highest-testing entry at the 2014 Amsterdam Cup (23.37%).¹⁰
• Reeferman Fire OG Kush — S1; tagged "Cup Winner".¹²

5. Timeline

• ~1999–2000 — "Fire" cut among the early spread of the Josh D OG (claimed).⁴
• mid-2000s — OG Raskal popularises the Fire OG clone online.¹
• 2012 — Denver Medical Cup: Raskal OG 3rd Hybrid (The Clinic on Holly).¹¹
• 2014 — Denver: Raskal OG 2nd Medical Indica. Michigan: "Raskal's Lemon" 1st Concentrate. Archive releases Hellraiser OG.¹³¹⁴¹
• 2015-01 — High Times uses Fire OG as a myrcene-dominant example in "The Truth About Indicas & Sativas" (Steep Hill's deCesare).¹⁵

6. Historical descriptions

Strong, funky OG fuel; "reverence" among clone-only strains (HT 2014).¹ Diesel-fuel odor and greasy nug profile in Chem Fire offspring.⁷

7. Cannabinoid & terpene profile

Caveat: strain names are not reliable chemotype identifiers.

The current-records row is dominated by Nevada lots (483 of 577), which are caryophyllene-first. Smith 2022's multi-state sample is myrcene-first. The difference likely reflects producer and cut effects rather than "Fire OG" as such.

8. Community sentiment

• Revered clone, potent "fire" — common, positive.¹
• Prolific parent — common.⁷⁸⁹

Overall score: 78/100 (an estimate; no large review sample read). Reddit not sampled.

9. Open questions

• OG Raskal's own account of where the Fire OG clone came from.
• Whether "Fire" in the Josh D-circle list is the same cut.
• Genotype vs the Josh D OG.
