Chemdog, Bubblegum, And NL X Blueberry Reports

I got 3 strains recently, and i figured i'd do a smoke report on them. Haven't had a grow up in awhile, but i've had some pretty good bud to hold me over from other people. Before i review these strains, i am going by the name they were labeled as when giving to me. You can never be 100% sure with names, so take it for what it's worth although the Chemdog And Bubblegum seemed to be top notch. I also included some pictures in the reports.

First up, is some Chemdog:

Potency: 9.5/10 Absolutely killer strong, the only strain i've had that comes close is the Afghani i did a smoke report of about a year ago. Gives you an almost crippling high right away and makes you unable to do complicated tasks. Lung Expansion is high as well, makes you cough even from a small poke.
Smell: 8.5/10 Very fuely and strong, got it vac sealed and as soon as i cut the bag open the room started to fill up quickly with the smell. Sort of a rotten smell as well, very similar to other kushes and the afghani i had. Not amazingly pleasant, but unique.

Taste: 9/10 Taste similar to how it smells, fuely with a lemony diesel kick. The taste stays on your tongue for a little bit. It tastes even better than it smells, i'd also say the taste is very unique.

High: 9.5/10 Very strong and at some points can feel numbing, high seems to last a long time and doesn't start to fade quickly either. You have a solid high for about 2.5-3 hours straight. About 8-10 Calyxes worth will get you stoned, and i mean it.

Overall: One word, amazing. Strongest bud i have ever had, and the high lasts for ever. The tolerance buildup is very low, and even after smoking alot of it i still stay high for several hours. The taste and smell are also very unique, and deserve a try from anyone. Top quality smoke.

Next up, the Bubblegum.

Potency: 8/10 Strong, but not too strong. More of a relaxing strong. The Chemdog is too strong, especially in the morning so this is a nice change.

Smell: 9.5/10 Very fruity and sweet smelling, this is the 2nd or 3rd type of "bubblegum" i've gotten and this one is the only one that had a sweet sugary smell like gum. Most of the others have had a skunky smell and taste.

Taste: 8/10 Good, but doesn't have the sugary and gum like taste like the smell. Almost non existant taste, a little on the sweet side but very light. Not great, but good.

High: 8.5/10 Not super strong, but very relaxing and strong enough to keep you comfortable. I really liked the high, because some of the kush's tend to make me very tired and clumsy. The high did last for awhile though which was nice, not as long as the chemdog but about 1.5-2 hours.

Overall: Great for the taste/smell and relaxing high. Definately a good morning or afternoon smoke. Probably the best smell and taste i've ever had from a strain. Lengthy high was also a plus. Definately good to keep something like this around when you have some of the kush or kush type strains for a nice change from pure strength.

Coming up last is the Northern Lights X Blueberry cross.

Potency: 8.5/10 Pretty strong, nothing amazing but a little stronger than the bubblegum it seemed. It seemed like a needed to smoke a little more of this to reach a comfortable high though.

Smell: 8/10 Fruity but a hashy smell as well. I didn't pick up any blueberry smells, but it was pretty pungent and hashy/earthy smelling. Not bad, not great.

Taste: 7.5/10 The taste was a little above average, very similar to how it smelled. Earthy and Hashy undertones. Taste goes away quickly after you exhale.

High: 7.5/10 Nice high, relaxing and comfortable high like the bubblegum but fairly short length of high which i didn't like. I found myself wanting to smoke again about 60-75 minutes after i originally smoked.

Overall: Not as good as the others, but i'd say that is because the others were so good so this one didn't really stand out. It still was fairly good all around though, and is better than alot of the stuff i get. I did like how it wasn't very leafy though, and the buds were big and dense.

I only have one picture of this and it's a little overexposed. Oh well though, you can still see what it looked like for the most part:

282246.jpg



Here is the Blockhead. The buds were in your face purple, very frosty and dense. I had good yields on all the phenos too:

Potency: 9/10 Strong, but once again not quite as strong as the Afghani or Chemdog. This is the purple pheno i'm reviewing by the way. It was a heavy indica, very strong in the head though i must say

Smell: 9/10: Sweet and Fruity, but fairly light smelling. I wish i had cured it a little longer to bring out the smell and taste more, but it still smelled very nice. Almost pure fruity smell, with a small peppery hint.

Taste: 8.5/10 The taste was good. Like i said, i think if i cured it for longer the taste would of been brought out more. The taste was a little non existant, but the tones i could pick up were a slight peppery and spicy taste with a fruity bite.

Appearance: 9.5/10 Looks amazing, in your face purple hues and covered in triches. Very high Calyx to Leaf ratio as well. The colors are very unique IMO, you can get anything from red, to light purple, to very dark purple, etc. type colors in her. The shade of purple in the buds was different than most purple strains.

Overall:

And here is the Sour Diesel. It was fairly leafy, i was told it wasn't really trimmed that much but it was still frosty, and looked better once i gave it a trim job. Looked like it might of been grown outdoors, but i'm not positive. The Buds were shaped like sticks, looked like it was hung upside down and when it dried they stayed shaped like that. Nice and fresh.

Sour Diesel:

Potency: 8.5/10 Fairly strong, a very mixed and even high. Creeper type strength, hits you slowly.

Smell: 8/10 Pungent, fuely/pinesol smell. Has a hint of the sour/rotten smell as well, and has a very "fresh" smell.

Taste: 9.5/10 Very unique taste, sour and fruity bite. The taste can be distinguished from pretty much any other strain i've tried. You can see where the "sour" in SD comes from. Only reason i didn't give it a 10 is because the stuff i got was a little untrimmed so some of the bowls were slightly harsh. A quick trimjob pretty much fixed the problem though, so i don't think it's the strain.

High: 8/10 The high is very mixed, slightly energetic but numbing in the body and head. Not too strong, but certainly not weak. Good Afternoon or Evening smoke. Creeper high, hits you slow and then stays strong for about 45-60 minutes. My only complaint is that the high doesn't seem to last very long, maybe about 1-1.5 Hours and only an Hour at most after a few days of smoking her. Tolerance buildup is fairly high.

Appearance: 7.5/10 Looks good with a trim job, since mine was fairly leafy. It has a darker dull green tint, with stacked calyxes but not stacked like foxtails. The calyxes sort of grow up like a stick along the stem. Fairly good crystal coverage, even most of the big leaves had crystals on them. Doesn't look as appealing as something like the Blockhead, Chemdog, or OG, etc. but looks don't really mean much.

Overall: 8.5/10 Definately worth a try for the taste and high alone. The length of high, however is kind of a let down because by the time you start enjoying your high, it starts to wear off. Still great bud though, and good to keep around for it's awesome taste and to impress your friends lol.

Some other buds i had awhile ago that i never put reports/pictures up of. I'll edit this post with reports soon. Right now i'll post the pictures. The strains are Pot of Gold, Hindu Kush, Afghani, and Durban Poison:


Afghani:

Potency:9.25/10 Very strong, i had to put it a little lower than the Chemdog, but i'd say it's the 2nd strongest out of all the strains i've posted in here without a doubt. Pure Indica type strength, couchlock like a motherfucker and hits you very hard, especially through a GonG.

Smell: 7.5/10 Smell isn't bad, very similar to the Chemdog in the fact that it has that very pungent almost rotten smell. More on the rotten/skunky side though, without any fruity or lemon tones.

Taste: 7.5/10 Taste was similar to the smell, very pungent with an earthy and somewhat sour/rotten bite. Taste stays in your mouth a little too long, and the aftertaste isn't that great, like a hashy bite.

Appearance: 9.5/10 Looks stunning, packed with crystals and perfect golfball size nugs. All the nugs were rock solid, and trimmed to perfection. Cured and Dried perfectly, very thing stems that crack with ease. This is what i expect great bud to look like.

Overall: 9/10 Overall it's very good smoke, extremely strong and great for the indica lovers out there. Probably the best nighttime smoke i've had, makes you want to fall right to sleep. The bag appeal is also amazing, there isn't any unwanted leaves or stems to be found. This bud would constantly set on fire from the amount of crystals, the hashy taste it gives off is unique as well and seems to come from the abundance of crystals. Definately worth the money i paid for it.

EDIT: Just a quick note. Just so people keep this in mind about the taste, high, etc: The Chemdog, Bubblegum, and NL X Blueberry were smoked out of a Headies spoon only. Everything Else AKA the Afghani, POG, Hindu Kush, Durban Poison, etc. were smoked out of a GonG mainly. So the tastes and high might be a little different on my reports from strain to strain.
 
Smoke Reports/Pictures Continued...

Pot of Gold:

Potency: 9/10 Suprisingly strong for such a high yielding strain. Perferctly potent without being too strong, and not couchlocky at all.

Smell: 9.5/10 Very Nice smell, light and fruity. Very similar to sugary fruity cereals like fruity pebbles or fruit loops. Not overly pungent, but nice and soft smell. One of my favorite smells.

Taste: 9.5/10 Flourishes in the taste department as well, suprisingly sweet and fruity. Stays on the tongue without being overbearing. Also has a hint of lemon. Probably my favorite tasting strain along with Lavender.

High: 9/10 Very nice high, the POG i had were fairly fluffy and looked to be a fairly even mix of sativa and indica. A few of the buds had small foxtails as well. Very even high, not racy or couchlocky. Best all around high, you can pretty much smoke her morning or at night.

Appearance: 9.5/10 Very soft and fluffy, like little pillows. Fairly sticky as well from the abundance of crystals. Had a very soft greenish white tint to it, very nice to look at and feel.

Overall: 9/10 Probably my favorite smoke, similar to the bubblegum but a little better in certain areas IMO. Suprisingly good quality for such a high yielding and simple cross. Taste and smell were perfect for me. The High was perfect as well, a clear headed warming high. I would give it a 9.5, but i lowered it to a 9 based on one thing, the tolerance buildup. The high at first would last for over 2-2.5 Hours but after smoking it for a few days the high seemed to only last for about 1.5 Hours. Not a really bad tolerance buildup, but could be better. All around though, great strain for personal smoke and for yield. I didn't grow this personally, but i want to after smoking it. I suggest everyone try it atleast once.

184362.jpg



Hindu Kush:

184365.jpg



Durban Poison:

Potency: 7/10 Strong, about average. A little too weak for my taste, but would be good for someone who wants to work or do complicated tasks after they smoke.

Smell: 6.5/10 Smell wasn't really good or bad, it was fairly non existant with a little bit of an earthy smell. Smelled like it may have been a little overly dryed/cured which was also evident in the color.

Taste: 9/10 Had a very unique taste, sweet with a hint of liquorice. Had a slightly peppery bite as well, hard to describe unless you try it. One word to describe it, is different.

High: 7/10 High wasn't bad, like i said it's not very strong but it's a very clearheaded active high. Definately seems to be more in the sativa range. Would be good for early morning smoke, or to smoke before work or something. The high lasts about an average amount of time, 1.5 hours or so. Didn't really notice much tolerance buildup.

Appearance: 7/10 Fairly frosty, didn't look great when i first got it because it was fairly leafy. After i did a little trim job on most of the buds, they looked nicer. Fairly light but dry. Definately was grown outdoors, had a brownish tint to it like it was overly dried and cured.

Overall: 7/10 Not bad, about average. Taste is very unique, good for certain situations like early morning smoke. I hear it can be a very high yielding strain so it seems more suited for commercial grows. My batch wasn't great though, so i'm sure there are better Durbans out there.

282250.jpg



Now, here is the Massachusetts Super Skunk. Quick not on this, the person i got it from said they did not know the grower so we are going by his word on this strain's name. I'm not sure if it's genuine M.S.S but here is a picture, i'm sure someone who has had this strain before will know if it's the real deal or not:

282373.jpg


And for the hash lovers, here is some Trainwreck Bubblehash. It was very good quality, tiny bubbles when it melted. Light brown in color. Here is a picture.

Next up, the Bubblegum.
Taste: 8/10 Good, but doesn't have the sugary and gum like taste like the smell. Almost non existant taste, a little on the sweet side but very light. Not great, but good.

Overall: Great for the taste/smell and relaxing high. Definately a good morning or afternoon smoke. Probably the best smell and taste i've ever had from a strain.

Dont want to sound like an asshole but isnt that a contradiction???

Fine reports bro. Loved reading every minute of it. Enjoying the pics too. I would like to hear about that Pot of Gold. Suppose to be Colombian. Thanks.

awesome smoke report + pics, all those buds look delicious and those Afghan nugs looks rock solid:canabis:,
very interested to hear how that Durban Poison in your last pic smokes, which seed company is it from?

peace

very interested to hear how that Durban Poison in your last pic smokes, which seed company is it from?

Indeed, Id like to hear that also. I smoked some Durban like over 10 years ago that had me FRIED. Paranoia, Racy, make you wanna take back shit you didnt even steal. Downright scared the shit out of me..hehe. I was a young buck..
 
Benji- well the taste was still good, probably should of put the taste score a little higher but i also wrote the reports after i had smoked a few bowls of the CD so some of the reviews were a little sloppy. I'll try and fix them up and write more in depth reports when i have some time.

On the Durban, i can't honestly tell you the breeder. I got a small batch from a friend along with a few other strains. I just know the names they were labeled as. It was definately outdoor grown, it was a light brownish color from a proper dry/curing but it was fairly frosty. A somewhat sweet taste. Some of the buds were a little leafy though, but i just did a little extra trimming myself. Good smoke, it was really different compared to most other strains i've tried.
 
Smokey- The Pot of Gold is one of my personal favorites. I'll do a smoke report now.

I'll do one of the durban right now as well.

EDIT: POG Report is up. Will work on the DP report in about 15-20 minutes.

EDIT: DP Report is now up as well. Enjoy.

Thanks for the new reports man, too bad that Durban wasnt some of that loco weed, hehe.

Damn dude, I wanna grow POG now.

Good looking out SI2.
 
Thanks for the compliments. Yea, the Durban was alright but it seemed like they grew alot of it and didn't really grow it to perfection. It was still decent though, and considering i got it for alot cheaper than the other strains i can't really complain. Plus it had that fresh outdoor taste to it, which i always like.

After smoking the POG, and looking at other grow diaries/reports on here i think it's going to be my next project. I want to find a nice keeper from a pack or two, the price is great on the seeds to. Every time i've seen pictures of POG plants, the buds are huge and dense and everyone else seems to agree that the quality is great. I mainly grow for personal use, but i also have small comercial grow's and this is a great commercial strain without taking away quality.

It's on par with all of the "elites" i've tried, i personally prefer it over those. For pure strength though, the Chemdog is amazingly potent. I can handle my pot, but one small hit of it out of my spoon and i am baked for hours. It almost feels like smoking for the first time again, the first few times smoking it i'd kind of daze off randomly and couldn't focus on anything.

I don't prefer super potent bud though, it can make my anxiety go nuts and i find myself getting extremely lazy and tired on it. That's why the POG is so good, perfectly potent without being too potent. The high is so upbeat and comfortable that you can smoke it for days and not even start to get sick of it.

I also tried some Lavender about 1.5 years ago that was awesome. Very similar to the pot of gold in that it had a perfectly balanced and relaxing high and a very good taste like the POG too, possibly even a slightly better taste. I only got a few small nugs though, and i never got to take pictures so i don't really want to do a report without pictures. The Buds were very frosty and slightly dark but still in your face purple.

I've been getting a few kinds every few weeks though, so i'll try and do reports as often as i can. I just got my new DSLR too, so i've been taking tons of pictures in my spare time lol. I tried some Island Sweet Skunk the other day as well, i may be getting a little bit of that soon. It's really good as well.

I'm kind of rambling on, but stay tuned hehe
 
I'm honestly not sure which kind it is...most of the buds i did reports on weren't grown by me so all i have is the names they were labeled as.

I took a hiatus from growing for awhile, so i'm getting most of my head smoke from other people.

EDIT: Just put an updated Afghani report up, on the front page right before the first Afghani pictures. Going to work on a Blockhead and SD report in a little bit.
 
Yea, you could be right. Although, i've seen Chem D alot on these forums and Chem D buds seem look more on the SD side as far traits and looks go. This chemdog i got, were round golfball sized nugs with dark hairs, tight, and loaded with crystals as you can see in the pics. The buds look more like the elite kushes (OG, Bubba, etc.) than SD traits but i could be wrong because i honestly know little to nothing about Chemdog/Chem D other than a few pictures and other threads i have seen.
