Hello everyone!
As this is both my first post and first thread here at IC (honest!!
)
I thought it would be best to start with something mundane and uncontroversial.....
SMOKE REPORT
Right then where do we start?...Ok, I first heard of the cheese clone 5 or 6 years ago. As I'm sure you all know it's been around a lot longer than that. If you ain't heard the story.....Where ya been?
So...I always liked the sound of the Cheese but I never spend enough time online or hanging around with other smokers to make the connections necessary for the acquisition of said cut. I needed a seed version to try!
I knew that out of all the Dutch seedbanks HGF were the people who had had the cut the longest. In fact, as far as I know, they were the only seedbank to have had the time to work the cut properly. Whether they did or not, I've no idea! ...Anyway, temptation got the better of me and I purchased a pack when HGF released their version not too long back.
This Cheese cross, for those that don't know, is Cheese x (Cheese x Afghan).
Or if you prefer... Skunk#1 x (Skunk#1 x Afghan). The Skunk afghan dad being a Big Buddah seeds 'Cheese'.
Now the people at HGF are quick to admit that this isn't the Cheese clone but they do feel that they have made a fairly good job of re-creating the
taste of the original....Here's what I've found...
Ok, popped 5 seeds and got 3 females. I took clones and flowered these out as small LST'd bushes under a 250hps.
3 different phenos....
#1. This one formed rock solid flowers on the ends of the stems along with a few lower buds of similar texture.
The scent from this one was 'rubbery grease'.
She was cut around 11 weeks but could've gone slightly longer.
The smoke from this one tasted much like the smell, a bit like some Afghani plants, which I don't mind. The high was strong but not at all pleasant. It gave me a headache! I didn't like this one at all!!
#2. Decent, if somewhat airy, colas formed on this pheno. The flowers had big calyxes and a spongy light texture.
The scent was a sweet, spicy almost diesel like aroma.
This one was cut fully ripe at around 8 weeks.
The smoke from this one was much better than the first pheno. Again the taste was much like the smell and I really liked the soft 'fuelly' notes present in the flavour. The high was nice and balanced...bit like a nice Skunk#1 really!
Not too stoney and rather moreish. Worth the growing, but not a keeper for me.
#3. Decent chunky colas on this one, not a huge yielder but not too bad. Large calyxes and a silvery appearance to the buds.
The scent of this one is 'completely stink your entire fucking house out'. Honestly, 1 plant producing around an ounce and a half totally filled my house with a VERY strong smell of marijuana.
Man, the smell takes me back more than 15 years! It properly stinks! It's a really pungent overpowering odour. It smells of weed!
This one was cut around 9 weeks, again fully ripe.
The smoke from this one?....... Mega full bodied, spicy, dank, I dunno it just tastes like weed used to taste!!! The satisfaction you get on the exhale is second to none!
The high is outstanding, super positive happy buzz after just a couple of tokes and, if you like, you can keep on looking for the ceiling for a long while.
Many friends say this is the best weed they've ever smoked and I gotta admit I wouldn't wanna be without this one for too long.
Now the big downside with this one is the smell, don't get me wrong I love it, but it is so strong smelling that you can't really take it out and about with you. I made the mistake of taking a couple of buds out in a small plastic bag on a night out recently. First pub we sit in the garden, before too long everbody can smell weed...I just keep me head down! Next pub we sit inside, I last about 3 minutes before legging it as everyone can smell weed (clearly including the security!!), Next place is a friendly one, we have a smoke in the garden. Suddenly we acquire a great many new friends! "Whats that weed?" "That tastes amazing?" "Where can I get some of that stuff?"...
We spend the rest of the evening standing in the bar laughing at everyone, and I mean everyone, coming through the door and saying "I can smell weed"
Whilst the smoke doesn't make you paranoid....the smell definately will!
Now there are some pics of pheno#3 in my gallery I've tried posting em, but it wont have it for some reason.
If someone can be bothered to copy em and post them up it'd be much appreciated!
Take care all,
toca
