DP Masterkush

C

Cozy Amnesia

Breeder: Dutch Passion
Strain: Master Kush

The following is based on a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent):

Visual: 3
Aroma: 5
Taste: 4.5
High: 4
Yield: 3
Speed: 5
Stretch: 2
Overall Grade: 4

Description:

DP lists this as a pure indica, but the high feels more like a hybrid. Very Mellow. Not to sleepy but not racey at all, a perfect middle ground. It only takes a couple of hits to get me ripped, but smoking more than enough won't make the high uncomfortable. What I mean is it's like the high will plateau instead of increase with amount smoked, making it hard to smoke "too much". This can be a plus, but also a downfall if your into getting torn up from the floor up.

The smell is absolutely incredible. It smells like a mixture of lemon, bananas, vanilla ice cream, powdered sugar, and a hint of pine sol. It's such a sweet smell, not like average bud at all. The taste is similar, citrus and sweet overtones and not at all harsh.

The true connoisseur grade of the weed makes the pains of growing this strain worth it. The strain stretched by a magnitude of feet during the first 3 weeks of flower, about a whole foot in all. Node length was 4 or 5 inches in places, and because of this, much of the bud sites where too far away from the light source (when growing indoors) to grow into large, dense nugs. The colas on top though grew into extremely dense and extremely resinous slices of heaven, but the width of the largest one is about an inch in diameter. Growing outdoors would eliminate any of these concerns though, and for indoors a SOG or ScrOG would have been a much better idea (I used LST).

To sum up - the high, taste, and smell are a testament to the existence of God. But for a pure indica the stain is not that great for growing indoors. Would I recommend this strain? Yes so long as the grower utilized ScrOG or SOG.

Sweet smoke report... I have always noticed that Master Kush (particularly the so. cal version) is very reminiscent of Bubba Kush.

I love the line you used: "To sum up - the high, taste, and smell are a testament to the existence of God."

Tousché!

Very cool, and great results for a first time! However, I think a combination of factors is what lead to the stretchy plants, not necessarily anything inherent in the genes themselves. From everything I gather, MasterKush is a fairly compact plant when the lighting and other variables are kept in line.

Either way, I'm putting some very strong thought into giving MaskerKush a go, and if anything this writeup is what pushed me over the fence. But -- and this is a big but -- I still have a 10 pack of Mandala #1 and a 5 pack of safari mix to deal with before I can even consider anything else.
 
Cozy..did you notice any hermies? I have grown DP's Oasis, Ultra Skunk, and Straw Cough....The finished flowers were fantastic, but each one showed hermie tendacies....Not all seeds from them hermied, but all 3 strains blew out a pollen sack here and there here...Kinda scared me away from them, but your report , has me rethinking them...Great report!!

Are you talking fems, or standard?

I've grown DP fem Oasis and got some nanners, but grew the same plant "standard" and got nothing but greatness. I'm assuming DP might have some minor issues with their fems, but the regular stock is just fine as far as I'm aware.

No, no hermi problems what so ever. And I broke up and smoked nearly all of it.

Ok, I did find one seed in the finished bud. Just one. Weird huh?

Did you use their fem seeds as well? I prefer female seeds because of my space, or lack of...lol... By the way, I love your cabinet setup!!!

I used DP MasterKush femmed seeds and didn't have any hermie problems way back in July 07.



I've gotta say all the things Cozy Amnesia mentions in his smoke report are ringing bells over here - sounds exactly the same as my girls. Good job man, you reminded me I found some in my cupboard last year which had been stashed in tupperware from the year before. Mmmm lemons.

year cured MK from 08

Nice report. I grew dp's master kush out a couple months back. I like everything about it except the plateau that you speak of.It came on a little to soon for my taste, but all my friends loved it. I had poor germination 1/5, but the single plant didnt hermie.If it would have been a little stronger it would have quickly become a favorite

I just popped 5 femmed DP MK seeds a couple weeks ago. No problems with germination.

I planted into seed starting soil, so the soil contains very minimal nutrients. My plants seem to be yellowing up a little bit. I gave them a normal 1/2 strength nutrient feeding about a week ago.

I have read in other grow reports that MK loves her nutrients, and you can't feed too much - what was yalls experience?
 
I'd go normal to a little heavy on the nutes. Maybe more in the "normal" range. I grew DP MasterKush a few years ago, it was a pretty tough plant.

Alright, sweet thanks... they're looking a little yellow on the bottom leaves, so even though the soil is still moist I think I'm going to give them some nutes tommorow.
