Dirty GS Cookies

By: Megaburbank x MONA


Genealogy: UK Cheese x GSC


Cultivation information: Organic dirt


YIELD
88g in 5 gal container, vegged approx 6 weeks. In my experience/garden, she wasn't terrible, but also not stellar - probably B- in relation to the general tempo/pace of the garden.

ODOR - SMELL
Very interesting blend of both ends of the spectrum - earthy & musky and somehow sweet and sort of fruity.

TASTE
Kind of a dry grapey flavor - not as musky as the stink might make ya think. But, it's not exactly a one-dimensional sweetness to the taste - there's enough of the heavier side of things that keep it tasting nice and rich. Good mix of sweet'n musky.

EFFECT
In a word? Subtle. Definitely not stupefying, but pleasant. I find myself able to go about routine tasks (surf the web, putz about the house, interact with people, etc) with ease - but every now and again, I find myself kind of "stuck." ..Those "Wait, what the? Oh yeah, .. I just smoked" moments. Nice blend of body and mind effect, but not an overwhelming amount of either.

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS (Overall)
Not a keeper. I'm glad to have grown her - she was beautiful from early in flower, and the smoke is tasty and the flowers are uniquely stinky. She definitely made some dense flowers, with a nice dark rich purply sort of color to 'em. But the strength just isn't there for me. She's pleasant for the morning/afternoon smoke, and good to have around for lighter-weight company, and she'll be nice to smoke for the amount I've got. ..But not worth the space in the garden for another turn.

Deathstar

Genealogy: Sour Diesel x Sensi Star


Cultivation information: Organic dirt


YIELD
85g in 5 gal container, vegged approx 5 weeks. Normally I'd consider that a sub-par yield in the garden, but I really did like the structure with which she grew. Not exactly big long donks, but respectable golf balls all the way up to the tops, which were good fist-full sized nugs. I think that with some tweaking, the yield can be improved.

ODOR - SMELL
A little like the #3, she has a nice blend of the musky and sweet ends of things. This one, though, I find more intriguing. (The #3's stink is more "interesting" than intriguing. Not bad at all, but interesting. This one is like a candle that smells like you want to eat it.) But the stink here is more "authentic" than the #3.

TASTE
Reminds me a LOT of the Sensi Star I used to get around 2000 - heavy muskiness, but punctuated with a hint of sweet, and then strong strong piney-ness. Like a thick coating of fresh green pine sap on your lip. Very enjoyable taste - the kind of taste where you say, "I'd still smoke this even if it didn't tickle my brain cells in just the right way."

EFFECT
Str. Ong. STRONG. I was sharing a joint with some folks last week, and with every puff I took, I could literally feel myself getting higher and higher. It's a pretty narcotic-type effect, good for sitting and tuning out -- but not quite a day-wrecker either. Very nice PM smoke, but mild enough to be an after-dinner treat as well. Smoked in the morning, my day wasn't ruined, but my normal morning routine & tasks were a little more challenging and less efficient.

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS (Overall)
Keeper! Just for the potency alone, she's one I'd like to grow at least a few more times. I'll be more aggressive with the training and pruning next time around, as I don't think I've quite tapped into her potential just yet. And in the meantime, while I tweak her in the garden & get it Right, she's great to smoke - s'damned tasty AND heavy!

Excellent reports brotha. Thanks. I read in an article that the breeders of the Deathstar say its better than ECSD. Do you think so?
