Forgot to add, that's the first time it darkened up like that and I've been running it since early 2015. I let the temps get down to about 63.
My "shortie" cut didn't develop those deep purples. Just my taller "Strawberry Nesquik" cut.

I nickname all my keepers because when labeling, numbers are too impersonal. I get emotionally attached to my plants, lol :oops:

man, @Tangerine_, you always have such impressive photos... I can totally get not wanting to put up a pic that doesn't show the plant's full potential- especially when you know you can bring out the fire- makes me shy about putting up any half-ass pics... (I also name my plants... got a Velma and Daphne I just don't want to cut...)

bodhi's Chem Kesey Evaluation & Smoke Report

Chem Kesey is Chem 91 (Skunk VA) x 88g13hp.
View attachment 4212489
​
Grow Environment

I didn't grow this, but my buddy gave me a few details when he shared it with me. Ebb & flow running in a perpetual room under HLG Quantum Board LED lighting.​

Notes & Flowering Time

Keeper found in one pack of bodhi seeds. Cloned and typically harvested at day 68-70 of flowering. Could be taken at 63, but better with the extra week.​

Density & Bag Appeal

8/10 Density & bag appeal are on point, as you can see from the 3.5g nug above. It's clear the grower has a pro drying process. The buds are sticky but not wet. A couple of days after opening the ziplock samplers the first time, they've reached the perfect consistency for my taste.

Very good trim job. The frost is obvious. It's a little amber; looks like she went long, but the buds from this Goldilocks weed are not overly dense. She's just right.

This stuff destroys grinders, hinting at what's to come for me. (Samples equaling about 9 grams were compared.)​

Aroma Level & Description

8/10 Smell is pretty loud, an herb & flower garden combined with sweet citrus, with a back end of sea breeze and swamp gas. Has an undercurrent of pro greenhouse hydro smell. Clearly not moldy or anything close, but kinda smells like a high-humidity environment. I wouldn't call it fuel, but it smells flammable, again like a swamp. (I sealed the nugs in a jar, then alternated sniffing a jar of organic whole coffee beans, then the jar of Chem Kesey.)​


Taster Ratings & Smoke Report

7/10 Taste is again very familiar, and pretty strong. First vape hit was delicious perfume & kinda chem dryer sheets, but more perfumed than anything else. Almost like a men's cologne. 2nd hit is more of the same, but then a citrus top note appears with dirt / earth beneath. Definitely chem...that dryer sheet flavor is vaguely like bandaids smell. Not really strong, but there's something to it.

Just like the smell, the flavor really has an undercurrent of how a pro greenhouse smells. Left a peppery, gassy, and sorta sweet mildew flavor in the mouth. That sounds gross but it's not. Bowl had a savory, stinky, almost salty hash smell when cleaned out. (@Thor’s hammer I vaped @ 388F from Flowermate V5.0 Pro convection handheld vaporizer. 392 is where the compounds in cannabis start to become carcinogenic, or so I've read, so a few degrees below that seems good to me.)

9.5/10 Effects & potency are really spectacular. I never thought I'd say this, but I deducted half a point because it's too potent for some people. (Actually had one lady complain about it from a few vape hits LOL.) The effects aren't a creeper, because you notice the warmth in your face & head immediately, but do come on gradually over the first 30min. Then it's a thrill ride for the next 30. Body feels electric like I drank a couple shots of espresso, but I'm disoriented, glued to the chair. I felt like Bobcat Goldthwait.


I thought my mind was pretty unaffected, then I realized I was holding my breath the last 30sec for no reason. LOL (This happened repeatedly.)

After the first hour of balls to the wall thrills, she chills out to merely very baked during the last hour or so, for a total duration of about 2hrs. (3 vape hits + 1 to cool down the chamber after it was off.)​

Medicinal Value

No pain relief at all, just ripped to the gills.​

Overall Impression?

I thought I'd wait before posting this, give it some thought, let the Chem Kesey sink in while also sampling the other varieties in my care package. I didn't need to.

Chem Kesey is intense weed, up front and in your face from the word Go, but what would you expect from a strain named in honor of the legendary countercultural author, psychedelic guru, and weed activist? (Not to mention her epic pedigree.)

Her unique bouquet smells and tastes like dead tour. We got a lot of weed like this in Oregon in the early/mid 90s, and on dead tour during the same period. Never knew what it was, just "kind bud" or "snow bud." I wasn't heavily connected like some.

Everything about it is strong. Smell. Flavor. Potency. Effects. Who knows if it would test high, but who fucking cares when it gets you this baked? I'd love to give her a shot in an organic soil environment. Not for novice smokers.​

Keeper?

Yes, absolutely. No hesitation. If this isn't a keeper, I don't know what is.​

That MammothP does work, but I've found you need to stop using it around wk 5 or 6 on 9-10wk strains. I could be totally wrong but this has been my observations with it in soil.
Click to expand...
What makes you say that?

Just wanted to follow up on this a bit. We add MammothP two times a week and every ten days with an inoculating flush in coco, so might not apply but curious anyway!

Seems to work good though. Smells awful

Those of you who do the testing, how do you decide what to test? I mean there are SO many crosses to choose from! Yea, I got an email today :)

By choosing strains that intrigued me. I'm really interested in landraces, so the OMGxdragonsblood and mango biche x Iraqi were pretty clear standouts on the list. I said i'd be interested in any of like, 10, and those were the two I got. They're doing pretty well. Going long but looking good.

Oh that's so nice to hear. Don't be shy about posting pics especially in this thread. And Ive seen your plants. They're anything but half ass. You've got skillz.
Who might Daphne and Velma's folks be? I'm really curious now, haha.

We keep it pretty chill over in the chucker's paradise and if you're in the thread at the right time you get a chance to get some of the best freebies around!

Yeah, it does smell awful, lol.
I stopped using it after wk 6 when I saw the difference in plants that received and the ones that didn't.

And I only felt it necessary to use it once a wk at 1mg per gal. Just my opinion but in a living soil with a good food source that bacteria shouldn't need to be added more than that.

I've never used it in coco or hydro but those type of mediums might require more inoculations. I've read posts from others that used it that saw no difference. I "think" they grew in coco and used dry nutes though.

Wish I could give you a more definitive answer. I do have a couple of good studies saved on my laptop. I've only cursed over the material but they're full of good data. If you'd like I can post them for ya when I get I home.

Your reviews consistently blow me away Nu-Be. They're well detailed, complete, informative and entertaining. That Bobcat Goldthwait bit cracked me up. lol.
Thank you for all the time and effort you've put forth and shared here.

Grow space, for backyard growers it is limited. I like to maximize my garden space by staggering my plantings. Basically from the spring solstice on I pop seeds every few weeks hoping to spread it out. Fun to play with, I miss it when there are no plants to visit.

I am experimenting with photo period. These were sprouted Aug 16 so basically about 7 weeks. I have been keeping them in veg by moving them under LED lights in the evening to extend the day so they have been on a 18 x 6 sun/LED schedule.

Now that I have harvested my spring plantings & finally have some room these are being promoted into the garden to flower. The days here are now 11 hours 36 mins of daylight & getting shorter. They should sext right away, should see the stretch soon. I expect them to finish mid-Dec. Cooler night temps can make for interesting colors.

1st pic is More Cowbell f1’s. 2nd pic is more of my f3 SSDD x BBHP x Gogis, I am liking this cross a lot. Let's see what happens.

Figured I'd post some shots from indoors this morning...

Apollo 11, looking nice a few weeks into flowering. I'm really excited for this one. It was a personal favorite several years ago:

Goji, doing her "lets take over" thing:

And some Space Monkey, starting to stink up the place:

Peace.

Anyone on here run the Kandahar Afghani from the Nierika Trust line? Anyone smoked any or know where Bodhi got the beans from?

Having trouble finding any info on the collection. I'm planning to open pollinate them and will hand out free seeds.

- edit - just found on insta from strayfox that he got them from vision creator. not much on vision creator seeds out of canada.
