Josh D

Josh Del Rosso (or Josh D), one of the godfathers of OG Kush, is spending 2025 bringing the top strain of the ’90s and 2000s — OG Kush — back for the masses.

OG Kush took over the Cannabis market in the ’90s with its lemon/pine/fuel stank, head-smashing effects and sticky, greasy and crystallized light green bud. Grams regularly went for $20, and pounds touched $8,000 at their peak on the West Coast. The current project is four years in the making.

It starts with the new OG Kiss strain, which comes from the pollen of a Josh D OG male selected by Firekeeper Farms and Strait A Genetics. Josh D pollinated his OG Kush girls with that pollen and selected a male dubbed “The Smooch.” The Smooch is Josh D’s new stud.
Josh pollinated 24 of his handpicked varieties with The Smooch, including OG Kush, ORyan OG, RBK and Spinal Tap. Each resulting strain is coming out every one to two months this year.

There are about 1,000 packs of the OG Kiss (The Smooch x OG Kush), while others run in the 500-pack range, and a few are limited to 100 packs. Bonded by Bud is Ricky’s Brother’s Kush (RBK) x The Smooch. Turtle’s Key Club is ORyan OG x The Smooch.
