I had great runs with that blueberry muffin edition about 5 years ago. Grew some mosters.

You have changed my mind about Chemo.
It looks really really appealing right now @CanuckistanPete
Nice Grow !

FNA! Of course I got caught down the reddit rabbit hole and they were mentioning about how new owners (years ago) didnā€™t have the same genetics. I havenā€™t dug deep enough to find out or research thatā€¦(see name for real reason) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Have you heard of this? Or the stock you have is newish? Or just complete BS?
As well just so I donā€™t eff it up. You can order directly from them at jordanoftheisland dot comā€¦ Correct?
Iā€™ve only ordered from Costal Mary b4.
Thx :seedling:

I have definitely heard thisā€¦but seen no evidence of it. Iā€™ve bought from JOTI multiple times and havenā€™t had any issues with his genetics yet.

Iā€™ll start off with my usual ā€œI suck at nailing smellsā€ā€¦with that said, itā€™s a musty, woody funk. Canā€™t wait to try it.

Good to hear. I have been a fan of his work for a some years and I had heard unsubstantiated reports of decline in quality. Does anyone know what the lineage is on his Purps? I tried to email him a while back but never got a response.

He rarely ever respondsā€¦itā€™s an area he could certainly do better at. I think itā€™s originally Mendocino but Iā€™m just going by heresy.

Brother I am excited enough to do a backflip. But then Iā€™d need an ambulance. I have been looking for the mendo since I lost it around 2012,13. Little plant but the quality! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

There was a point about a year or two ago, where he (or his son?) took an ill-advised move to ā€œget with the timesā€ and go for the hype.
He posted a bunch of packs from Aficionado, Thug Pug, Cap etc etc on IG and was like ā€œwhich ones should I pop first?ā€. Then about six months later he dropped a shit ton of hype crosses that obviously werenā€™t tested. No bud shots, nothing. Generic hype descriptions.
The older stuff has a better rep- the Blackberry, Romulan, and God Bud crosses. Although some say he lost the original parents of God Bud and some other in a bust, and made new parents. Kind of like the Dutch banks did in the late 90ā€™s.

Whatever the case may be- the packs are cheap enough that someone willing to do some hunting should have an okay time of it.

I did a bunch of Blackberry Breath a couple of years ago.
Got 4 females. 1 hermed like crazy, the other 3 were really powerful smoke. 1 in particular was really great. Taste and effects were a delight. The lanky OG type ones seemed to be the best.

Also did the freebie Romulan x White Lightning. It was good. Nothing that really stands out, but solid and stable.

Thatā€™s the extent of my first hand experience.

I highly recommend this strain from JOTI.

Thereā€™s Motorbreath 15 in the cross. Strong smoke. :muscle:

Not sure the lineage but wow I loved that strain. Only grew it once, under blurple leds a long time ago. I thought it was dark green the whole time but when I chopped it down it was only the leaves that were green. Buds were solid purple, so dark it almost looked black. Smelled like I had my head in a bag of mashed up grapes. I only grew it the one time but really enjoyed it.

This strain for me has had the best effects for my system. I love the melt into the couch feeling to finish the day. Looking forward to see the finished product and hear about your thoughts on it

That works enough for me to grab a pack next month! I loved the grape skunky and the heavy body high. Yeah it usually gets the deep purple! The green phenos had a bit more gas and skunk over the sweet grape. My memory is sketchy donā€™t quote me in any serious discussion :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Bet that Rom Rod was dank. Love that stuff.
