Tropical Cookies (Fast Buds) had a dry weight of 1.4oz. I took my sweet time on this one and it took me over 2 hours to finish the trim. I worked hard to get the leaves so the smoke will hopefully be smoother.
The buds were nice on her, with quite a few dense golf-ball chunks to make me feel good about life. As far as bag-appeal goes, this is the winner of those in this grow and those dense buds also have taken her into the lead, at least temporarily, for quantity.
Thanks! It was a fun experience and I learned a bit. Very plain-Jane grow, but I need a base-line. Next time I’ll actually use my nippers and do a bit of trimming and otherwise manage the plants. I also didn’t feed during veg and feel like I’ll see better results if I feed weeks 3-5.
I hit the Strawberry Cough a couple of days ago - smoked it. It was a surprisingly clear-headed high - seemed to me like it actually improved my focus a little bit while making me feel a bit more chill.
I formed a cannigar out of Strawberry Cough tonight. A 4g cigarillo-style unit with a wooden mouth-piece. It needs to set-up in the mold overnight and I’ll finish making it tomorrow. It may be Saturday before I hit it, but I’ll do a better write-up on it once I’m able.
I took about 1/8th of an ounce of Jammy Dodgers and hammered it into a cannagar. Then I allowed the cannagar to rest for a week or so before starting to consume it.
Jammy Dodger is an indica. I picked it up as a sleep aid and I’ve been consuming it nightly just before sleep for the last 10 days. I have another 3 or 4 days before this cannagar is spent.
SMOKE
The smoke has been really smooth. I’ve had around 60 hits and I’ve coughed exactly one time - and that was a very brief coughing spell. This is my first time consuming via a cannagar, so perhaps that is part of the reason, but it is extremely enjoyable when consumed in this fashion. I think that a lot of the credit probably goes to the strain but the cannigar does a good job of allowing the inhale to be reasonably cool.
Jammy Dodgers is very mild in flavor. I can’t really say that it stands out or tastes good or bad.
EFFECTS
The effect of Jammy takes about 15 minutes to arrive. It starts with your lips and lower face numbing out a bit. I experience a bit of energy - well, heightened thought processes really. Your mind might wander about a bit erratically, but enjoyably, for another 10 or 15 minutes. Once that starts to slow down, I move to get a bit more comfortable and then it’s lights out.
The effects last 2-3 hours, so it isn’t the longest running stuff I’ve smoked, but you retain enough sleepiness to stay asleep. If I get 5 hours or less sleep, I can still just faintly feel it for another 50-90 minutes.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I really like the amazing smoothness of Jammy Dodgers. Not coughing is fairly key to a night-time smoke if sleep is the goal. I am likely to grow Jammy again because of this.
For sure the smallest Beast Mode thus far… every once in a bit her Sour60 side dominates, but then again, that is where her greasy/oily comes from along with trichome production you could ski down.
Your plants turned out just beautiful, enjoy your harvest buddy…
Oh… would you perhaps like a 2nd chance at this… GDP x Beast Mode.
I used about 1/8th of an ounce to create a cannagar that was made entirely of GG#4 harvested from an auto-flower plant source from seeds sold by Zamnesia. They say that it should have about 20% THC, so reasonably powerful stuff.
The cannigar turned out a bit less stickier than those that I’ve previously made. I would guess that this variety is a little lower on resin content. At any rate, it is more prone to crumble and I’ve been handling it gingerly. I’ve had 4 smoke sessions thus far.
SMOKE
Nice and smooth, I’ve had no problems with coughing. This is most likely a bi-product of using a pressed cannagar. The smell and flavor is a bit like lemons with a floral note. It isn’t dominate or unpleasant.
EFFECTS
GG#4 starts with a bit of giddy, happy energy and quickly devolves into giggly confusion. It can really scramble your thought process, but it may give you that slightly altered perspective that potentially provides some insights - if you can hold on to those insights.
Depending upon how much you consume, you’ll probably encounter couch-lock or sleep next. It hits me pretty hard and I find it a great sleep aid. It’s like a great weight is pressing me into the bed.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The smoke is good, but the plant was a royal pain in the behind to trim. I will grow out the remaining seed, but continue to look for something closer to ideal.
What your describing as icky sticky is exactly why I worked with the Sour60… she wasn’t the biggest plant, but her resin production was so high you could hardly load a pipe, the buds wouldn’t come off your fingers… hahaha. figured I could cross her into something big and improve her. so I did… she’s still not huge but, I’ll take a super sticky 2ft plant that finishes close to 60 days all day long.
