Let’s have a smoke report… (cross-post from my thread)
UK Cheese x Chem D bc1 created by @JAWS grown by me. This was a freebie receive from @Great_lakes_Genetics
Veg time - somewhere around 50 days, give or take. I should get better at writing that down.
Flower time - chopped at 85 days. 12 weeks!
Pot size - 3 gallon
Yield - 90 grams dry.
Aroma - A strong chem smell right away is almost nose burning. As you get closer you get a pretty intense parmesan/green apple smell but with very minimal sweetness. It’s sour, but the way sour bread or sour cheese may be. Pretty weird. Initially for the first 3-4 weeks in the jar it has what I would describe as an offensive odor. After those 4 weeks it’s seemed to turn into a more complex stinky floral smell and less of an offensive parmesan/sour smell. It is one of the more unique smells I’ve had.
Flavor - a very pleasing, herbal, buttery sort of inhale. A little spicy and just slightly harsh. A strong floral cleaner sort of taste is left on the exhale. I definitely taste the funk from the parmesan smell aspect, but I think instead of a cheesy flavor I’m picking up it’s translating to a strong floral flavor. It’s not overpowering but it’s distinct.
Density - there are probably better phenos to be found for density. Take in mind that I grew this during the hottest time of the year for me. Temps saw 98-100 a few days. Nights were 75-80. That said, it came out dense enough. Nice body to it and it wasn’t crumbly or fall off the stem loose, but it was definitely on the spongy side of things. A bit airy with small calyxes and quite a lot of hairs. Not the commercial nugs we are used to seeing. Much more knobby, but not a slacker on yield. The lowers and larf are hard to trim because of it’s knobby, uneven sort of structure and so most of it got tossed into a pile for dry sift or edibles but 75-80% of it was nice, easy to find nugs. I could’ve trained it better and think most of my nug structure complaints come from my own training and environmental factors. It is one of those strains that seems to ‘fluff up’ once ground and seems to increase in volume quite a bit. Overall I’m happy with how they came out.
Effect - Probably my favorite part. Pretty intense cerebral high right away. Makes your head feel opened up and a bit spacey right away. The kind of come up that makes standing on the porch feel like your doing something. I’m surprised with how many ‘indica’ effects I feel for a plant that went 12 weeks. Strong muscle relaxation and headache relief with really intense cerebral feelings. I guess I could call it ‘lazy’ at first but after 30-45 minutes there is a good bit of energetic effect. It doesn’t necessarily make you want to tackle an 8 hour project, but you could happily zone out for a fun hobby for an hour or two. Reduced anxiety and long lasting. Overall effect probably lasts 3-4 hours. It settles into a good vibe, good time sort of feel and you come out of the high feeling like a happy cat. It’s not sleepy on its own, but I do notice that when I mix it with other things there seems to be an added sleepy effect. I find myself smoking it on its own during the day and mixing it with other things at night. It noticeably improves my sleep quality, so that’s cool. Really interesting and enjoyable weed.
Growth Patterns - topped twice, I believe. I didn’t touch it too much while it grew. It stretched roughly 2x it’s original size. Maybe like 2.25x. It grew a little viney but not like an OG where there were branches overlapping everywhere. Really excellent nug size compared to branch size. Small stems with a lot of flower. It started to flop over pretty hard somewhere around 45 days into flower and needed structural support. Slow onset of flowers that swell really heavily at the end. A little foxtail-y but I’ll probably attribute that to my environment. It was pretty easy to stake up and forget about while it finished. Didn’t grow too many new fans past day 40 or so and it didn’t fade much at all. Some yellowing/dead leaves at the end up it stayed green for the most part. It grinds to a deep dark green.
Overall - What else to say! It’s really unique weed. It has a very nice, relaxing, happy, long lasting effect. Smells different than everything else in the room. Maybe a little room for improvement on structure but who needs everything to be rock solid and tight? Good yield but I’d definitely train it better if I was going to invest in another 12 weeks of flowering. I’d like to give it more attention next time around but it’s given me more than I gave it. I call that good weed. Solid B - B+ on my scale. I’m excited to throw the last few seeds down and get into the lost skunk x UK cheese sometime next year.

I’m pretty sure I have a pack of these. I was waiting for a guinea pig to test 1st. Thanks. From your report, I’m in at some point in the future. I’ve grown the Chem D BC1. That had the knobby bud structure. Chunky! I don’t particularly like the overly dense stuff myself. Maybe it’s due to mainly being a joint smoker.

Right they’re great for myself. I don’t mind them. They just aren’t the typical tight little fireworks that people are used to with legalization. My friend who tried it said “blueberry?” And I laughed because I haven’t once got blueberry from the cross but everyone’s different. It grinds really well, has tiny stems, smokes even better and smells great. I don’t see what’s not to like. Curious to see what other females come from these seeds. Let me know when you drop and I’ll try to do it at the same time

Those tight little fireworks have never been real impressive to me. So much of the good is tumbled away for the sake of convenience. Just takes a couple of those that aren’t dried correctly to ruin a #. More than that if it’s not checked. That always scared me.

@DirtySlowToes was it you that had one that smelled like Asian pears?

I don’t think so! I mentioned apple a few times. Maybe that’s what you remember? Definitely an apple-y armpit at first. Settled into a more funky ‘cheese’ with that sour fruit sort of smell on the backend.

Love the epic description - apple-y armpit - must get some of that deodorant

Alien GORG F1-V2 testers. @39 days. Not a hint of nutes deficiencies or nute burn. Super easy grow so far. I’ve got stakes, but the frame is real sturdy. Pretty typical Jaw’s Genetics for me. There’s something in your selection process. What you keep. What you toss. Color is nice and rich. Smells going towards fruity or tropical. We shall see.
Thanks again for the opportunity to run these.

no problem my brother you just keep doing what your doing its working just fine.
we should know in another week 10 days if these are going to be solid, we hit day 42-45 with no herm then i think were good to call this one ok for the market.
seeing the same thing over here with the fem alien cookies, day 28 and everything is looking solid.
any time brother just let me know and i will send more testers, ahh you know i have a bunch of them. still have like 25 ugorg hybrids to get tested.
peace …

Thanks @Agreenpassion . He’s an interesting tid bit of info. These are in soil. My 1st soil grow for a couple years. Nothing fancy. FFOF as a base. About 30% additional perlite. Some worm castings and compost.
Here’s what’s out of my normal feeding. Basic feed has been AN Lucas run weak. In addition to the Lucas, I’ve been using up old nutes. Alternating. Gypsum and yucca. The plants don’t have a clue I’m giving them leftovers, old ones at that. They’re starting to look like decent yielders as the stack and ripen. Ripe smelling.
When I was on injured reserve with my back and out sick, I found out just what my plants could tolerate. A lot!

Thanks @Hemp . I’m trying to figure out what’s up next myself. I got some fresh soil. Local nursery has super clean compost for free. Part of our county’s green waste recycling. They’ve got decent bagged soil for $16. Works for me.
