Hi Y’all! Missing you guys. Been puffing on my new strains. A lot of differences in the cure from my fresh dry tests. Where do I start? lol Mind you, when I pull weed out, I roll a bunch of joints at once, so I puff on one strain anywhere from 2 days to a week straight depending.
I’ve been reviewing some of my cured weed below and right in the middle I had to come back and write this preface… lol My novel. What do you expect? It’s me! 
Anyways, I need to start by talking about the term strong. It is relative and keep in mind I am a veteran smoker. My shit however is really fucking strong! All of them! Well the ones that were in the ground. I swear to dog, my soil is intense and the difference between my 2 container plants bud strength and the ground bud strength is probably exponential. Most of my ground grown strains all make me too high at times. All except for the 3 that were pulled prematurely… GDP, Blue Dream and Blue Gelato 41. Those are a bit more chill in the high factor, but they are still stony af. This is a good thing as some days I want to be so high that I can’t see straight and other days I just want a chill functional high.
Let’s see ummm… Spectral Tangerine x Stardawg - It gets me high af. Too high to post while I test. lol It leans heavy on the og side. Difficult to describe this one, but to say if you’ve smoked an OG strain. It’s like that. Admittedly, I won’t put this strain on the top of my list nor on the bottom. It’s not standing out too much in the strains I grew this year. No longer smells like curry. More OG taste (chemical like) slightly herbal slightly fruity tangerine peel bottom note. It doesn’t stand out much, but if I want to get really high, I’ll go to it. If I wanted to show off how strong my homegrown is to someone, I’d give them this too. It’s extremely psychotropic. Dimensional. 
Cackleberry- Puffed on this for about 4 days recently. I just don’t think I ended up with the best pheno representative of this strain. The chance you take outdoor growing f2’s when you can’t pheno hunt. I was so excited to grow this one out. Had ideas of grandeur I guess. Smells like a cookie fully cured, not much flavor or smell, lackluster. Fairly disappointing except for the fairly unique high this one has. It has a heavy floaty element to it, reminds me of smoking a CBD 1:1 except it gets you high. That same floaty feeling x 100. Kinda fun, but nothing to write home about at this moment. I feel like it needs more examination by me. May need to smoke this one more to develop a greater appreciation of it. It’s being overshadowed by the louder more magnificent strains I grew this year. Same with the Spectral Tangerine. They just got kind of swallowed up by the others.
Went off on a bender with my Cheese recently. The cured bud is just Nasty AF. I mean that in the best possible way. It’s just a loud and in your face strain. It’s bold in it’s stinky nasty feet cheese/road kill bottom note and with the obnoxious top note of overripe dark fruit it’s pure old skool dank nasty funk. I get crazy nostalgia from it, especially how I remember it back in the day, grown outside. It’s like smoking a piece of my past. Smoking it now, decades later, I can see how this can easily be a love it or hate it strain. To me, this kinda nasty funk was synonymous with Humboldt and the only dankness that existed back then. So, this nasty loud tasting strain is pretty ultimate for me in flavor. I love it. It’s super strong though and I can easily be too high on it at times. It’s fire.
The last 2 nights I’m smoking some premature cured Orange Goji. A few pieces of colas I saved when I was cutting out bud rot. It’s delightful. The racy, wakey wakey high is not present in this particular batch. It’s quite social, uplifting and delightful in high. While still extremely flavorful, it has mellowed a bit in cure. More like blended together, I guess. Takes on a more floral herbal taste now. Still Skunk 1 on Steroids though. Citrusy, skunky. I dig it.
I haven’t gotten back to a few other cured strains yet. The Skunk 1 and the Blue Dream off the top of my head. I’ll report back on those.
Hope you guys are good and wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! It’s personally one of my favorites as I really love food and practicing gratitude. Works for me!
