From what cannabis experts can gather, the Godfather OG is an offspring of a cross between Alpha OG and XXX OG. But we are also seeing another variant that is bred from Granddaddy Purple, Bubba Kush and LA Confidential. Another one is bred from Granddaddy Purple and OG Kush, making everything all the more confusing. What does this mean? All these say that many breeders have learned to design their own version of the Godfather OG.
