Thanks for that. I find the same with some strong sativas. Have you sampled any of the other Haze crosses?

Just yesterday I was wondering if you've had a chance to sample it yet. Was it like a sativa-dominant hybrid type of effect? Good for late-night or no? Thanks.

Update. My tall Kush Berry has a really nice body buzz. Still very indica in effect and was great for sleeping without being a total knockout. The jar smells different than my shorter KB, this one has a jelly-roll smell to it that's really nice.
The night before, we sampled Northern Skunk for the first time. I felt like it was a slow and steady creeper that kept getting more intense for a couple of hours, after which it came down. Long lasting high, indica dominant-hybrid effect, feels awesome. Great for late nights, not a total knockout but relaxing enough to ease you to sleep. My wife and I have been watching episodes of Veep lately and everything was funnier than usual. Uplifting. Great cross by MikeJ!
Skunk Berry was the night before that. It's definitely a powerhouse strain and my wife called it special within minutes of vaping it. Powerful head and body highs; I'd call it a well-balanced hybrid where the indica and sativa influences are both equally powerful. I found it a bit more psychadelic than most strains....it almost has a space-altering effect. Great berry taste; a connoisseur strain IMO.
So far, I've tried NL, NB, KB, KNL, KB and NS. I found KNL the weakest. It had a great calming effect without making me feel high. It might be good for some for daytime anxiety. I don't want to diminish the strain or Mike's work though, my lack of grow skills could have affected this strain more adversely than others. NB was no slouch with medium potency and a nice indica buzz, and the other four strains were really nice while more potent in effect. I'm very happy with this grow all in all, we have way more than we can use before my next grow is harvested.
My question to the community here is.....should I try KNL again, but when I know I can grow it better?

I could be wrong where but from what I’ve been learning a lot of the effect is in the genetics. Poor growing skills obviously have an effect but j would say in our cases our skills are more reflected in overall yield and health of the plant. Then there’s always the cure but I feel like potency is in the genetics. To go even further I think the effects not only change from person to person I believe they change from day to day. Sometimes my Pineapple Jack Herer has me bouncing off the walls checking off all the wife’s “to-do” lists but I’ve also had some great afternoon naps with it as well. I’m beyond excited to get into Mike’s strains. Your reviews have been informative. I think I have my wife and I both completely covered with PeakSeedsBC strains.

Description
Skunk is one of the oldest hybrids around and has always remained a favourite in cannabis culture. It was the first hybrid to be completely stable and first came into being in the 1970s before being released in Holland. Immediately it became one of the favourite strains of growers and breeders across the world. It has a potent but happy high and a long lasting yet cerebral effect. Its genetic background is made up of three strains: Afghani, Columbian Gold and Acapulco Gold. These strains together make quite the potent mixture as well as creating a tasty and aromatic smoke. It is Sativa dominant and has a delightfully short flowering period, for its type it produces impressive yields. Skunk’s cultivation has been painstakingly performed over a number of years, these days just the word 'Skunk' is synonymous with good quality weed. This strain is perfect for novices and experts alike due to its easy to grow nature and its amazing results. The only issue, for some growers, is the powerful smell that comes hand in hand with Skunk; it didn't get that name for nothing. When grown it will need a good amount of ventilation and outdoors it can really give itself away. Skunk can be grown indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse and will produce high yields under any growth set up.

Everyone who has sampled my Peak genetics has reported getting very to too-high.
Then I shared a bag of blueberry with a neighbor who is a small time black market seller. "Tasted a bit homegrown" was his report.
I'm thinking he probably hasn't tasted anything clean for a while. Oh well, more for the rest of us.

I was looking at my seed list a few days ago and decided to toss a pair of KNL in the coco. My records only go back a little over 3 years, and I can't find any of these listed so it's been at least that long since I tried this cross. Assuming they pop and there's at least one F, I'll let you know how it turns out.
It's been a lot of fun watching your posts and the growth of your skills, btw. I'm happy you are being rewarded.

Thanks. I really appreciate the advice you've given and the advice I've received from others on RIU. It's been immensely helpful, and your grows and posts are inspiring for many of us here.
I had a surprisingly good first grow last year, and then I screwed up my second one because, instead of listening to my intuition and the experienced RIU folk, I took the advice of a bottled-nute salesperson in a store that convinced me to add nutes I didn't need. My plants went into nutrient-lock and suffered. NEVER again will I blindly take the advice of a person who's goal is to try to sell me something in a store. Now that I'm into round three, my goal is to focus on leaf health all the way through. My organic soil mix is cooking and should be ready to go when I transplant into larger pots.
I look forward to hearing how your KNL progresses. I'm actually a bit pumped about Mike's Haze Berry, I might pop a handful next time around.

I think you guys have talked me into some SS to go along with the BB and the HxBB for my indoor run. Need these warm days to keep up so some of these ladies can clear the room

Sounds like another great addition to the cupboard!!
Tried the haze x blueberry again. But about 1/5 of the amount. Amazing high. Very pleasant sativa leaning.. This plant at least
Just smoked too much the first try

I had the opposite happen with KNL. The first time my wife and I tried it, it really mellowed us out in a nice way, but we didn't really feel any kind of high or buzz. Last night we tried it and it was somehow much more potent, more so than NL on its own. That was a pleasant surprise; maybe an extra week or two of curing did the trick. It's a great strain that has a thumbs up from both of us. You can feel it all the way to your fingertips, as well as a great head buzz simultaneously.
I'm pretty new to this all, but maybe some strains are more sensitive to cure time than others.
@sourshoes, Thanks for the update, I'm really excited to try Haze x Blueberry in the fall. I might even get a few untested sativa crosses from MikeJ, like Texada x C99 or Haze x C99. I've got this idea in my head that they'd make great daytime oil infusions.

A friend of mine is getting some of Mike's clones. He said he'd order four, keep three and give me one to try out.
It looks like a Texada Skunk x C99 is hopefully making its way into my backyard for the summer! In an email he mentioned that this one is becoming one of his favorite strains, so I'm pretty happy to be getting one!

Hey everyone, MikeJ’s clones come in rapid rooters but I’ve never used one. Does the rapid rooter go straight into soil?
Hey Sourshoes,
How many days did you take her at? Did you run more than one? How was the flavour?
Cheers!
Grew 2 and flowered very early (2 weeks) to keep them small. Ended up between 24-30" tall. Harvested at day 75. They didn't yield very well so a longer veg and training would help.
One tastes blueberry and my wife says the other tastes better. More citrus flavoured but I didn't get that but the taste and smell is very nice. Sorry not a great description.
Both are very potent and my favourite in my stash right now. I've tried both in my vape and a big thumbs up. Going to let them cure longer now.
