I get the same sweet dough background notes in the Trinity as well. makes me think there’s a common ancestor there, perhaps NL #1

She do really be like that. I fucking love her. I have Irene OG x (Black Triangle F2) seeds ripening on the vine now, that should be ready to harvest in ~3 weeks. Fun times.

Also,

Just fucking with you two, so truly no offense! Positive vibes…

I love the smoke. Nice full body effects that start at my face and work down my neck and shoulders. Great focus bud, gaming bud. No racy white knuckle effects like other kush types.
I have a bigger clone lined up for the next round, I’d love to see how she does in a bigger pot. She’s in a 2 gallon right now.

Thank you :pray:
I love her smell and flavor, dream come true getting her in my garden :green_heart:

Here’s my Irene review & smoke report.

:sun_with_face:

Veg

Irene clones fast, but is a little slow to get established. She’s not super vigorous. For comparison, here’s Irene (L) and Bubba ( R) in the same pot, 30 days from rooted clone.

Flower

Irene grows kinda weird. Not sick or picky about food, just weird. She spits out a ton of suckers, her bigger branches snap easy, and she seems to trigger into reveg for no reason. A month after transplant into her own City Picker, at flip she started throwing foot long single blades and odd “fleur de lis” leaves. This continued thru the first 3 weeks of flower.

:fleur_de_lis:

However, once that got sorted she was on cruise control and 100% stable, no more funny business. I saw no buds on leaf petioles or any other shenanigans.

In flower, Irene’s a striking plant. About a 2x stretch after flip, she develops respectable spacing to her golfball nugs.

Harvest Day 65F

Big bracts. Small yields.

Easy trim tho.

Smoke report

Smell & Flavor

Irene smells incredible. Full stop. Early in flower she smells like a Polish granny’s perfume bottle, chopped onions, and old pennies in the bottom of granny’s floppy leather purse. Later in flower, she added a sour note. Intoxicating.

:older_woman: :purse:

After harvest and drying, while trimming she smelled of black cherry soda. She held that in jars - couple months later, there’s still some black cherry perfume mixed with savory, oniony and leathery notes.

The smell translates to the flavor - savory perfume OG, sprayed on a big freckled bosom. Mouth coating. This profile is absolutely delicious and probably her best quality.

:drooling_face:

Potency & Effects

Irene is very relaxing, yet somehow functional for a couple hours. Potency is a 6 or 7, pretty good for after dinner watching a movie. Then it’s lights out. She ends with a very heavy crash, and leaves me feeling groggy the next day.

:sleeping:

Bottom Line

Irene is definitely exotic, but she yields low and can be a little weird. Is she a keeper? I’m not sure. I feel like there’s no shortage of cute crazy chicks, but do I want to marry one?

:wedding: :peace_symbol:
