Might still be able to find it at Headie Gardens. They had it for a while...

Wow, I didn't expect that somebody would be having that exact dilemma with a Strawberry Goji male right now. That's cool! Take my comment for what it is... just speculation, but if you really liked the male besides the flop, it might be worth checking out.

Yeah i need to start running 2 sets of nets instead of just the one. I feel like for the one I pulled early though even with 2 I still may have had issues. The branching after the flowering stretch was just so extremely thin that I feel like they would have fallen out from under themselves still. Probably still would have had to tie down every branch to the net. I'm too lazy to keep an under yielding floppy pheno around lol.
My keeper pheno has similar branching to yours from the looks of it but it also has some of the same thin floppys as the one I pulled early had.

Purple unicorn is one of the most purple budded strain you will ever find (in color). The testers I grew a while back were SSH x PUf3, and they smelled like pure fresh clean blackberries with a slight sour candy note when they were growing... no shit, no stink... After the cure some turned a little funky, but pretty much it was the same berry smell and taste, but with the woody smell and taste that was described above. I swear the smoke looked blue on the exhale, which was really cool, and the taste was wonderful, but the high just didn't do it for me... it was really good for a purple, but a lot of purple strains suck, so...

PU is a perfect acronym for Purple Unicorn because they stink. The closest to "wood" smell would be cedar chips heavily used under critters at a pet store. Maybe wet hay in a horse barn. Don't think it's growing conditions dependent as the PHK Booberry, Space Monkey, More Cowbell, and Mexican Mint companion plants couldn't have been further apart on the sniff test. Maybe I need to sift way, way more. Would never place a "berry" flavor on any PU cross. Burnt sugar, yes. A donut shops dumpster, definitely. It is something sweet, but not berry or citrus sweet.
This is why I wasn't hyped for the upcoming drop. Purp Wook, Pillow Book, Strawberry Uni, and now with PU5 & Black Lights finishing up all have the same type funk. Not that I mind, at all, because it does cure out really well. Just that PU smell seems to dominate, along with effect and structure, everything. Having the PU5 I feel no need to have any other PU cross. Though the purp wookie v2 does leave a long lasting sour lavender mouth coating that is sublime. This dad seems stronger than the g13 at passing its dominance of defining characteristics.
Has anyone else had multiple expressions from a pack or two of a PU daddy that was not PU dominate? Anyone get something other than giant purple/red/pink baseball bat spears of body hugging, mind floating, stinky delight? Have I been an outlier for coincidence?

believe me, the ssh x pu f3 testers definitely had berry. one had a slight cough syrup thing that worked perfectly with it, but sour berry was the dominate smell. I still have buds, I would send you some if it wasn't such a hassle... I'll admit that it does change a little with time, but not stinky or nasty ever... it smokes like semi-sour candied blackberries and a sort of cedary incensey thing, put together with how blue velvet would taste if it was a flavor. that was only the ssh/f3 cross, but that is pretty much the flavor... actually, it's a very good description if I do say so myself.

Well we can agree on the trellis but I dig the set up. Looks like it was put together nice. I posted just to say that pretty much lol. I hope my room lives up to the standard around here when its done!

Hah. Room is nice but it doesn’t keep the bad genetics away!
Srawberry Goji is full on herm, dumping balls and trying to throw pollen everywhere. I’m seeing the same thing from strawberry milk, and it’s the same type of herm. Balls pop lots of hairs, then nanners develops inside these sacks and it wants to dump a small amount of pollen at day 21-28.
Im concluding that strawberry milk is the culprit here since I have seen these ball tendencies on 2 SM females and 2 SG females. Same herm stages, structure, and timelines.
So at this point I’m removing any strawberry milk crosses from my list of wanted strains because it clearly has not been worked enough to weed out these bad traits. This seems especially problematic since these herm traits will be amplified if its crossed with anything chem/OG/cookies.
At this point I really can’t get super excited for any of his males aside from 88g13hp.
Room is stress free in terms of environmentals. 84F, 70% RH, 1200PPM CO2, scrubbed at 800CFM, auto irrigation and 15 hour dry down. I really caution against any cross that uses strawberry milk and another herm prone strain.

Well... shit... glad a popped only 2 strawberry milk f2. And many others I posted a page back. Mine is stress free as well. (Controlled room around tents with all the goodies etc.
I am dealing with herm shit on my laplata labs alien bubba pez as well. It got a massive haircut and I'm hoping and watching close. I'm kinda only exited about a couple and am waiting for my babies to get in there. God damn the shit genetics!!! I even thinned my keepers to be let down! Getting a few back as we speak!!! Lucky wookie seems nut free for now! And frosty!
Happy growing!

Yeah I was really excited for these strawberry milks too. I have one stellar pheno that is not showing balls, but I cant use this in any cross without S1->BX to stabilize. It’s such a shame too because the resin and early terps are off the chart. The strawberry goji also looks absolutely phenomenal aside from identifying as a boy.

I saw your post, but ignored it because I never consider testers as an available option. Couldn't test even if I were so luckily selected. Your's is also a cross unlike the ones I listed unless the SSH is the SS Hashplant & not SS Haze. The lines I mentioned are all heavyish on the indica and a few are built with close cousins. On the surface this could explain a lot of our differences.believe me, the ssh x pu f3 testers definitely had berry. one had a slight cough syrup thing that worked perfectly with it, but sour berry was the dominate smell. I still have buds, I would send you some if it wasn't such a hassle...

What you describe is basically what I was looking for to begin with, a true purple with blackberry hash terps and chem power. 2 outta 3 aint bad & I'm not complaining. This stuff is literally & figuratively the shit. Just want an experience similar to yours. Black Raz maybe? Still have more beans. Would just like to hear if others are getting noticeably varying phenos of available lines.
Strawberry Unicorn 5 ladies - Sour Milk/Shit or Dry Cereal/Shit - not even a hint of berry(thankfully no balls on those @AdvancedBuffalo)
Purple Wookie v2 11 ladies - Cedar Citrus/Shit - lavender aftertaste(cannot articulate how good this was)
Pillow Book 3 ladies - Hashy/Earthy Shit - All around disappointment
PU5 & BLF so far mostly poo.
When I say shit I don't mean like a fresh turd up close. More like the way a nursery or a petting zoo from a distance smells. Its not overpowering, its just there. Have had this same profile come up in a Mendo/Bubba/OG2 line that was affectionately known in these parts as "butthole."
Oddly enough, did have several Pinball Wizards that would fit your description of sour berry/ cherry-like when I was expecting fresh, citrus, and peppery. Others leaned heavily cedar/lavender obviously from the Wook. That cross uses the SSHaze.
Feel ya on the exchanging things too. If only our republic wasn't a lie.

Once I picked up Purple Unicorn F5, I also felt no need to have any Purple Unicorn crosses. I feel with this tool that Bodhi has so generously given to the community i will be able to find a male to cross with my own females if I want more PU. Trust me, its not like I'll be saving any money by not buying the crosses. I will probably pick up, if I get there quick enough, Banana Spliff, Baba Kush and Mendo Sunshine from this drop.

Thats exactly how I feel. I think his release of the PU signals the end of its use. There’s really no reason to keep running it. Possibly same with strawberry milk. I’m thinking that there may be some changes coming to Bodhi’s male stable. Or at least I hope that is the case!

The PU and 88g13hp males are so stable that I would wager that you could cross them with anything herm prone and they would stabilize for an F1. I have absolutely no issues with my 88g13hp OG and chem crosses. Something like forest queen should be totally fine to run.

Pinball Wizard #11 here at 70days. Not much Wookie sweet smells on this one. 8 females in the pack & most of the phenos we've grown out have leaned mostly to the mom side on the smell/taste side. The #1 pheno we have is a nice mix of fruit with the ssh taste/smell. Most of the effects have been the same, a muted version of the original silver haze. Nothing beats the rush of the original silver haze imo. This is a muted version of that high (like ssh) but the taste is what really gives it an edge. SSH taste is nothing spectacular with a bland spicy type taste, that is unique but not necessarily sought after or rare. I haven't grown ssh or sh (growing some sh right now and will see if it's for real) but these have been less stretchy than I imagined. #11 pictured here, was grown out in a 1gal under cheap led and topped right before the flip to give 3-4 tops of nice sized flower, but the plant is only about 17" tall from the ground. No nutes, only fox farm strawberry fields and a couple moong bean teas.

Fingers crossed for another BOGO or at least less than 5 must have freebies. My meager funds at hand, I'm ready to keyboard bash my way to the Nierika promised land! Praise be to the fast connection!
