You’re right, i guess this would be a “Slammer” effect. Sounds dangerous. Good thing i don’t smoke while driving anymore.
Was your Pure Kush x Lemon Thai similar? Both this and Pura Vida using a heavy Kush female.

I dunno if I would call it “dangerous” exactly, but it’s definitely something that I need to wait and see about haha before deciding if I wanna smoke more. There’ve been times where it’s for sure gotten a little uncomfortable, a little like,”Oh shit, this is pretty strong…” Having said that, I’ve mixed it with alcohol (lots and lots of alcohol haha) and I haven’t gotten the spins or anything. And that’s always kinda my “dangerous gauge” or whatever haha. Can I smoke this and still function after having drank a case of beer? I kind of can with that Pura Vida f2 #5, but I probably shouldn’t.
No, not at all. I like the Malibu x Lemon Thai way more than I like the PV f2 #5. Like, in every aspect. It’s more fun, it’s more giggly, it mixes better with alcohol, it’s more social, it’s more “happy” etc etc etc. That’s my favorite from the last grow (I haven’t blazed any of the Santa Cruz Pure Haze cross in a while, need to get into that because I think that one might give the Malibu cross a run for it’s money. Or whatever haha).
I really wanna just be blazing that Malibu cross all the time pretty much, but I’m making a concerted effort to blaze the other weed from this last run just so I can write the smoke reports haha. Once I get those written, though, I’m pretty sure I’ll be smoking that Malibu cross almost exclusively.
Until I harvest these new plants haha.

Thank you for your opinion on this one. Great to know. Those “happy” effects are hard to come by for me.

Three of the four Bandaid Hazes I grew were like that, if you have access to those seeds. The C. Gold-leaning Dragon Energy cross was like that… Two of the three Mountain Temples I grew were like that… Trying to think of some others… I know there’s usually one cross from every grow that smokes all happy and stuff, but I can’t think of any more off the top of my head right now haha.
But yeah, I feel you. Those “happy” sorta highs are for sure my favorite.

That’s the “creeper” high that I know and love. I associate that with the best OG’s.
I think it actually gets you higher because it’s so abrupt, your mind doesn’t have time to adjust to being stoned like it does with something that has a gradually building high.
It’s also different than all that new cookies stuff where you basically get everything the strain has to offer on the first hit, and if you smoke more it doesn’t make any difference or get you any higher.
It’s rare to find that ‘ton of bricks’ creeper effect now. I enjoy that high but consumers in general prefered the immediate onset of girl scout cookies. I think that’s one of the reasons all the the good OG’s are hard to find, or hybridized with cookies.

I’m a broken record on this strain, but i got 2 words for you: Time Bandit.
Also White Light HP or Black Triangle (BT is still available at Headiegardens) should be a creeper.
Curious if @minitiger you got creeper effects from Imperial Majesty? I know your grow and smoke report inspired a few more packs to be bought.

I have the joystick (wifi x snow lotus) made with the same wifi as the time bandit. Maybe I’ll find something similar there.
I loved The White and fire OG, so hopefully the wifi hybrid will capture some of that magic.
(side note, joystick is probably a Stephen King reference. His characters often refer to joints as joysticks. I think it’s funny that bodhi often uses literary references in his strain names.)

Nice! I read that WiFi #43 was specifically chosen because it is an indica pheno of WiFi.
So i would think you’d get more “medical” benefit than say an SFV OG or other sativa-dom OG cross.

I found creeper effects from madre azul - I think from the old ghani dad as it was a lemony herbal pheno. Really enjoyable - getting higher in waves, euphoric.

is the Ghash known for the creeper effects then? Because Triangle Kush is not a creeper in any way shape or form.

I think the Ghash brings the creeper effects. It def. feels much more like an “Afghani” than TK does. Having smoked strains w most of Bodhi’s males (except PU and Kashmir).

Hm. That Pura Vida f2 #5 doesn’t really remind me of my favorite OG’s, specifically Skywalker and Diablo. And Fire. And White Fire. And SFV. And… haha. The flavor does, but the high doesn’t. None of those old OG’s ever made me feel like,”Oh, shit, maybe I smoked too much,” but the PV has. That might just be because I’m getting older, though haha. I think it’s been like seven or eight years since I’ve blazed any OG at all.
Yeah, I guess, been a while since I smoked those two plants I grew. It probably took about ten minutes for me to reeeaaalllyyyyy feel the high. That was another one, like the PV, that was a good “getting ready for bed” strain, in that I’d take a few bong rips, get naked, brush my teeth and by the time I was like halfway through my shower, that’s when I’d realize,”Okay, I’m fucking high,” haha. The Imperial Majesty seemed to have a more “cerebral” sorta thought-provoking high than the PV does, though. I liked it more than I like the PV, anyway.
Still have a little bit of the IM, actually, I should blaze some tonight haha.
I’m fairly certain that Bodhi used a different WiFi for that Joystick cross. I’m not sure which one he used, but I’ve never seen the genetics of the Joystick listed as “WiFi #43 x SL”; it always just says “WiFi.” Which, honestly, I think would probably be better. Apparently, that WiFi #43 was one that… who was it…? … Jungle Boys? (whatever) found that was more “Indica”-leaning than the WiFi that was floating around for years before that. And I LOVED the one that was floating around for years haha. Never tried the #43 on its own, but any time anybody says,”Indica-leaner,” I tune out haha.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed those Time Bandits I grew, but I’d much rather grow something that used Raskal’s WiFi and not something that the fucking Jungle Boys or whoever found in a seed hunt.
Yeah, that’s my favorite kind of high, too.
I don’t know if it’s “known” for that haha, but that’s been my experience with maybe every cross of it that I’ve grown. There may be one or two that I’m forgetting about that floored me immediately, but the ones I remember the best and enjoyed the most are the ones that took a little bit for the effects to fully manifest.

everytime I smoke booty I feel like I have stepped back into a different timezone about half an hour later, its possible, but this is the only cross I have with that male, could be coming from the Pirate Sweat as well (which is another 88G13HP cross).

That’s what I was thinking when I got it. I was also kind of hoping for the older White Fire version. I asked bodhi about it and he said:
all the Wifi hybs are 43
I’m sure there will be good stuff in this joystick hybrid. Anything from bodhi with a weird nostalgic name is usually killer haha.

yeah I guess that effect is really what I associate with the
no-extra-names OG (haha). the straight up OG I used to get in the bay area from dealers and private prop 215 collectives.
especially bags of OG that I used to get from the fillmore or the east bay. I’m definitely nostalgic for that high.

Ah, okay, good to know. They really oughta correct that on the seed bank sites. Honestly, I never woulda bought those Time Bandit seeds had I been paying attention when I bought them and noticed that it said “WiFi #43.” That and the Appalachian Super Skunk packs were the first seeds I’d bought in like five years, so I really didn’t know anything about that #43, just figured it was Raskal’s. Obviously, I coulda researched it haha, but yeah, I wasn’t aware of that whole Jungle Boys thing until after I’d bought that pack. I don’t regret it or anything haha, but I probably wouldn’t have bought them.
Still, I glanced at GLG yesterday just to make sure I wasn’t mistaken re: that Joystick and it only said “WiFi.”
The Imperial Majesties grew pretty OG-ish, although the smell wasn’t really like that at all. High was good, too, although maybe not like “vintage” No Name OG haha. I’m trying to think of some other ones I’ve grown that were like that… A few of the Lotus Larrys I grew were very reminiscent of Larry… Maybe a couple of the Uplifts… Can’t think of any others right now haha, but there’ve probably been a few.

Catching up on this thread after a few busy weeks. Nice smoke report! Sounds like my kind of weed, aside from the sleepy aspects. Getting any feel-good effects where it makes you feel chill and like…pura vida? Or feedback from others?
Also, how did the larger #2 Lysol pheno turn out? I’d imagine it must taste a lot different, but did it also have different effects? Curious about the outcome of the other plants too.
Did you start a new thread for the next round?

Not really. I mean, it’s good weed, I suppose it makes me feel “happier,” but not any different than the happy feelings that most weed provides.
Yeah, I don’t like the sleepy aspects, either, except for when I’m getting ready for bed (obviously haha).
My friend Jo really likes it, said that it was one of her favorites; she actually came by a week or two ago and was like,”Can I have some more of that Pura Vida?” when she was on her way out the door haha. Pretty sure that was the real reason she came by haha!
I gave some to another friend of mine who’s, like, my “official” weed tester and he never mentioned either of the Pura Vidas when he was texting me about some of the other stuff from this run… Gave some to the chick who cuts my hair a couple weeks ago and she hasn’t mentioned it to me, either, although she has texted me to say how much she likes a few of the other things (@iamyou_youareme I brought her some of the old Blueberry x Silver Lotus from last run and that was one the things she said she loved, just FYI).
So I dunno. Like I said, it’s good weed, but I’m not sure I love it. I’m certain there’s some good things to be found in those seeds, though. I definitely loved the way they grew, won’t be the last time I check them out. Thanks again for those seeds.
I haven’t gotten into that one in a whiiiiile, but from what I remember, it actually ended up tasting (and smoking) very similar to the #5, which is why I haven’t written the report for that one yet. I’ll get back into it at some point soon and check it out.
I do think the flavor aspect really has a lot to do with my soil mix, though. Like, some strains are just gonna taste “floral/perfume-y/cologne-ish,” for reasons other than the genetics. It seems like that flavor profile happens a lot with shit that I grow, anyway. And I don’t necessarily mind that, but it does seem to be a relatively consistent thing.
Not yet. Tomorrow morning will be the official start of flower after 65/66 days of veg. I was gonna wait until Monday, but I watered with some coconut and TM7 yesterday and when I opened the tent today, the plants were noticeably larger. I’ve also been decreasing lights-on the last week or so, seems like they may be starting the stretch already, so I figured,”Fuck it, let’s just get this shit going,” haha. I’ll post a link here in this thread for the new log when I start it, probably be in like two or three weeks.
What’s going on with you? Everything good?
