My apologies to those of you who may have seen this smoke report that I did in Organic Hydro's Cherry Bomb ll Organic Hydro Style thread. I thought I would post it here in the proper forum for those who didn't have the opportunity to see OH take this strain from seed to harvest.
Rellikbuzz's Cherry Bomb ll - Smoke Report
I had been "eyeing" Reeferman's Cherry Bomb ll for some time before seeing OH's grow of this strain. Knowing that one of the original parents of this cross was an original landrace, cherry pheno Maui Wowie. This cross just had to be rockin' from the description alone!
Reeferman's Description from his website.
We have obtained Cherry Bomb from several sources, the original being from California and most recently we obtained Cherry Bomb from Mr. Greengenes, and his 100% Sativa Cherry Bomb meets the predominantly indica Cherry Bomb from California to create the ultimate Cherry explosion like an orgasm in a rolling paper. Soaring high, sativa dominant buzz, full on Cherry Candy flavor and smell and a respectable yield make this cherry bomb the best ever. High yield.
Needless to say, I was delighted to see OH's grow thread go online! As this thread has shown, the CBll is a vigorous, high yielding strain that OH did a magnificent job bringing to harvest!
Again, I would like to thank Organic Hydro for including me in evalutating his wonderful herb. The packing was totally steath and such a nice presentation. In the package I received a lovely candle set, potpourii, other craft oriented goodies and the biggest damn pack of papers I have ever seen! 
Cleaverly hid inside a container I found this bonus gift. A package of Soma's Rock Bud (A+) and a package of Snow White! 
Now, on to the stars of this show . . . the Cherry Bomb ll Buds themselves!
Cherry Bomb ll - Pheno 1
Without ruining the suspense of this smoke report, I have to say right up front that the CBll Pheno one is my favorite of the two phenotypes that OH ended up with. The appearance of these buds is that of a medium to lime green color with a plethera of rusty colored, orange/brown pistils that are densely packed into the bud. While I have seen denser bud structure, this is NOT a whispy or airy bud at all! Nice firm texture created by stacked calyxes that are a dream to break of whole for a great bong hit.
The trichome production of this strain is unreal as these buds shimmer under the flash of my trusty camera, as you can see for yourself. Please excuse my lack of talent in the macro department. My camera just isn't capable of a good macro so I have to use a 10x magnifying glass in front of the camera. Sorry it sucks so bad.
When you open the container of this pheno, you are overwhelmed with a pungent, fruity smell that fills your immediate area. It's a very fresh, sweet, fruity odor that has a hint of melon as it lingers. I agree with the other testers that this scent doesn't remind my of cherries as it is purported to be but it's a fabulous citrusy/melon odor that is just delish!
The taste is just as fresh as the scent! It is a very smooth toke on the intake and leaves the fruity flavor coating your tongue and it has an almost "perfumy" quality to the smoke. On the exhale is takes on a bit of a hashy-like flavor that takes on a more complex level of flavors that taste somewhat "darker" or more "aged" some how (if that makes any sense). Not to bad of an expansion with this pheno so I wasn't hacking up a lung. I believe this has more to do with the clean flush of the herb and good (albeit short) cure.
Now as for the high, I have to proclaim right up front that I may not be the best to evaluate it's potency relative to a lot of other strains out there. Compared to many, many people on ICMag, I am a relatively light smoker. I usually smoke most everyday but it is usually at night and only a few bongs at most at a time. I find my tolerance relatively low to most quality weeds. Schwag is another story. I even have some standards!!
Anyway, my first reaction to the smoke was virtually immediate. The high is very cerebral in the onset and has an unusual clarity to the high. Upon a second bowl I felt it really kick into gear! While you can tell you are rushing, it is not jittery or uncomfortable at all. In fact, just the opposite is true. It is such a smooth high that one might not think it's that potent because it's not an "IN YOUR FACE" indica type of high. It's clear that the sativa genetics are predominant here but be quite rest assured that you are FLYING HIGH AGAIN!! (A cheap Ozzy reference ) After a good 45 minute peak you settle into the ultimate "cruise control". Matters of the day are all but a long forgotten memory by this time. Finally, it's such an easy let down that you are able to go right back and do it all over again!
Final Observations:
The Cherry Bomb ll - Pheno 1 is the absolute BOMB! It has to be one of the top two sativas I've ever had the pleasure of trying. The other being a true Kali Mist. It's all that one would ever expect from a top bred sativa with Hawiian genes.
Cherry Bomb ll - Pheno 2
While this pheno looks very similar to the Pheno 1, it appears to me as if there isn't quite as much pistil density in the buds and the pistils appear to be a brighter orange color. The buds also look a bit more "airy" and open in structure but not significantly so.
This pheno, while still fairly trich layden, doesn't appear to be quite as frosty as Pheno 1. It could be just my imagination. Here's a couple of close-ups which shows the more orangy pistils.
The aroma of this pheno is darker and more complex than Pheno 1. When you open the container, you are first greeted with a strong, astringent smell that has the same fruity scent as Pheno 1 but it is underlying the astringent quality. As a result of this astringent characteristic the sweetness is somewhat overpowered but it's still there.
The flavor on the toke is quite a bit more complex too as the astringent quality comes through in the flavor and almost made my tongue feel like I had just had a bit of novacane shot into it! On the exhale it reminded me more of Pheno 1 as, again, it had a hash-type quality to the flavor. Just like it's sister this is a very smooth toke with mild expansion qualities. Just a joy to huff on.
Pheno 2 has more of a "creeper" buzz to it. It takes a few minutes to come on but, BOY, does it come on!! This high has more "body" to it. Almost a sedative quality compared to Pheno 1 as I think more of the indica side of the genetics are being expressed here. Another quality this Pheno has is this is truly "two toke" weed (at least for me it is! I know, I know . . . I'm a light weight I guess ). However, I can't imagine even the most heady of tokers could handle more than 6 or 7 bowls of this stuff before saying "UNCLE"!
Final Observations:
This pheno is extremely potent and big fans of the "In Your Face" indica type of high will love this one! Great sedative affect and I would think it would be a great medicinal herb. Certainly has it's place in anyone's garden. As I stated before, my preference is for the Pheno 1's more cerebral, heady high. But, then again, I've always been a sativa man!!
