TESTER REPORT: DRAGONSOUL X WOOKIE
These were really good. I ended up with 4 females, all but one being more or less identical. The one that differed was still similar to the others, only it was faster growing and flowering, more resinous, and had a sweeter, almost vanilla scent while growing, that turned drastically into an offensive chemical skunk, garlic and onion odor once dried, (but only in the backend... there was still a predominantly fruity base smell in the front- as all the others had). The structure was also a bit different... it was shorter and less branchy. The effect was pretty much the same.
I'm going to skip going into each plant individually, because they were basically all the same thing, so instead I'll just give the basic details for all of them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
Flower Time- 55-75 days.
*
Stretch- Not much... a little stretchy, but it is mostly a bushy plant over a tall plant.
*
Issues- No- ... they drink more water than any plant I've ever had, but that's only an issue if you are a guerilla grower in the desert.
*
Plant Size-
8-These can get huge if they are allowed to. They bush out like crazy, and could look like an enormous tumbleweed in shape if given the right opportunity. Lots of long arms and branches that go more horizontally than vertically.
*
Yield-
7-9 Medium to Heavy. The branches are all over, so there is a lot of bud sites, but the buds aren't as huge as some others. 2 of my A1Kashmirs, for example, had tops that were the size of tennis balls when dry- these would have something that is more along the lines of golf balls in size.
*
Aroma-
8- I'm going to get a little weird here, so please try to stay with me- Imagine there is a big race about to start. Imagine that all the runners are dirty hippies. Now imagine that you have a cedar sauna- imagine that someone comes along and turns that sauna into a big hot tub, then fills it with hawaiian punch, lemonade, paint thinner, and a bunch of ramen noodle broth. Now imagine all the hippies finish the race, and are all sweaty and stinky, and all of them jump into the hot tub, mixing together with the liquids, and making a funky, weird ass soup. That is kind of the smell on these while in flower. All had a dry cedar and Hawaiian punch smell with acidic citrus, chemical skunk, body odor, garlic onion, and a kind of patchouli scent. Once dried, the smell for all of them turned into a more strawberry lemonade and pine-sol floor cleaner type thing. Some do lean a bit in other directions, but for the most part, the singular, most defining odor of the finished product for all of them, would have to be strawberry lemonade and pine-sol.
*
Flavor-
7- Flavor is kind of skunky, acidic and citrusy, but the smoke on this one was harsh... what some might call, "lung buster" harsh... It is hard to hold the breath in when smoking straight buds... it burns like hell and leaves you coughing.
*
Effect-
8- The effects are wonderful, being quite heady, but still with a nice numbing body... it has an almost perfect balance in effect for a hybrid, (at least to my personal tastes), leaning around 65-70% sativa, and 35-30% indica. You can do anything with this weed, either go out and be active, or just turn in and watch tv in total comfort. However, the more you smoke, the more intense it gets. If you smoke a lot, you won't be able to sleep, your head will be racing and you will find yourself looking into another dimension. Smoke a bit more, and you go from just looking, into actually
living as that other dimension. Like Alice through the Looking Glass and back into Wonderland. There is no ceiling that I could find, and once you get past a certain point, you might feel like you are trapped in an ever changing wheel of shifting perspectives and focuses.
There is also a sort of pureness to the high... I've had certain strains that have a dark edge to them- this is like the opposite. For example, you feel like your childhood self- clean and innocent- and if there is a moment of arousal, there is a sensuality to it... it isn't like a dark, or aggressive arousal. It is more of a loving and caring, wanting to connect, kind of thing. The high itself lasts pretty long too... not quite as long as some of the really old-school stuff, but long enough. She's got legs.
*
Bag Appeal-
8-10. It is sticky, frosty, smells strong, has some nasty skunk for those who want that, but also has fruity terps for those who want that... the buds are visually appealing... give it a catchy name, and this would sell easy.
(I kind of don't like the bag appeal question, because it is all about marketing... but this one has great marketing potential, AND delivers in terms of high)
*
Overall Impression- This is a beautiful combination, and will get the job done regardless of what that job is. It is heady, but also has some body effect, it's flavorful, fragrant, the high lasts, it gives good yields, is potent, and is consistent... I'm actually kind of surprised just how good this ended up being. This is some of the best I've had from Bodhi seeds, and I would recommend this to everyone. It checks just about every box, and is probably only a cross away from being an almost perfect strain, (depending on what it would be crossed to.) I would say this could be, and maybe even should be, used for breeding stock, or as a building block to future strains. I fully plan on buying another pack or two once these are released. This is a really nice cross. A solid
8+.
If B is ready to release these, they are ready to be released.
*
Keeper?- I chopped all these before I smoked anything, and didn't take cuts, so no keeper for me, BUT, I absolutely think there is keeper quality in this line. I wouldn't be surprised if someone won a cup with this strain- with a little hunting, it could be of cup winning caliber.
