We’ll see if it loses the funk after harvest…I’m only on my 2nd grow so not tons of terp profile experience. I did notice on my PUDC the terp profile was best around week 6 I think, more baked goods donut icing etc., but after that week it leaned more into candy territory, sort of. In your experience can it lose the funk and turn candy sweet after harvest? Just for the record I’m hoping for the funk hahaha.

For reference I've grown:
Blueberry muffin, blueberry cupcake, hi-biscus, apple blossom, garlic Budder, Stoopid fruits, caramel cream, magic melon, pistachio, vanilla creme pie, raspberry parfait, and Jelly rancher (hella jelly). There are a few I've only grown one time like pistachio and raspberry parfait that I can't really comment on.
1. Most Flavorful - Apple blossom (also probably my overall favorite, it's a really well-rounded strain. The smell and taste are sweet and flowery more than fruity, like honey/flower nectar)
2. Strongest smelling - Hi-biscus (Blueberry muffin and all the crosses are really terpy but hi-biscus gave me the strongest smelling phenos. Raspberry parfait also was really terpy but I only grew one, and the terps were not what I was expecting, it was a really fresh strong pine smell)
3. Best high - Garlic Budder/Apple Blossom. Garlic Budder is an absolutely sedative, narcotic strain. I had it as dry cured flower, ice water hash, and rosin, and I feel confident in saying it's a real "in-da-couch" indica. Apple Blossom was the best all-around anytime smoke, good relaxing body feels but not sedative with a pleasant head high. I've only grown one Stoopid fruits but that was a really nice "sativa" high, though I would want to grow it again to confirm.
Thanks for the detailed breakdown…was hoping to get a bunch of replies, but you have me wanting Stoopid Fruits for the high, Garlic Budder for my night time Indica and ….well crap, I guess I want all of them you listed now hahaha! I almost grabbed Hi-Biscus because (I think) it was a cross from the zkittles cut, which was the most flavorfull I’ve had. Even tasted sweet and delicious down to the last hit of the bowl. In my current stockpile I have…
*Pineapple Upside Down Cake - (sweet and unique terps, great anytime high. Very care free chill, can still be active)
*Lemon Grass - (If didn’t know better I’d say this one was crossed with trainwreck not PUDC. Good for working on music)
-haven’t grown or smoked these yet-
*Humboldt Sour Diesel
*Pistachio
*Hella Jelly - (near harvest, 2 phenos)
*Strawberry Cheesecake
*All Gas OG (near harvest)
To elaborate on PUDC…
it’s really potent, but one thing is very unique. The more you smoke, the more of the same exact feeling you get, just stronger lol. Let me clarify…most strains (for me) there is a point in which you overdo it…the high becomes uncomfortable or you end up zombified, but with PUDC , it always feels like the same exact high even when you turn it up 5 notches. I once smoked way too much where normally I’d have to chill for 10-15 but instead I jumped on a treadmill, put the headphones on and watched an Adele music video with a huge grin . It was a miracle that the speed of my footsteps jogging were matching the tempo like a metronome, all the way to the last beat of the song. Anyways, I thought I was in the music video, like people were listening to the song and seeing me in the room of the video on the treadmill. I think I was the boyfriend she was singing about, I was the actor being filmed haha I sound crazy. Yeah it’s a great high. Smooth as silk can’t even feel the smoke. Will grow again.
Lemongrass….where do I start lol. Highly suggest Lemongrass. It can give you energy or knock you out, spark inspiration or make you retarded, day or night, potent as fuck, and smells like lemon pledge. A better dry and cure might bring out some fuel too. Will DEFINITELY grow this one again!!! Love it!
As far as flavor and smell go, ime the best tasting also happen to be the best smelling. For effect, there isn't an obvious correlation to smell or taste.
I'll give my favorites but keep in mind that psychoactive effect is pretty subjective.
Best smelling and tasting-squirt
Best effect- vanilla frosting
Squirt is a cross of blueberry muffin and tangie. Everything that has blueberry muffin in it seems to gain a week in flower and grows really nice. This cultivar seems to carry on the tangie lineage well. Smells absolutely amazing like grapefruit, tangerines, honey, and melted butter. A little finicky in early veg, but makes up for it later.
Vanilla frosting-What I look for in experience is something uplifting, but also relaxing since I mostly use it for sleep. VF also delivers pretty well in smell/taste. I'd describe it just like humboldt does on the site- sweet vanilla and og kush. It's very relaxing, but uplifts mood too. 2nd place would be the squirt which is more suited for daytime activities. It's 80% sativa and the tangie comes through again here. Really clear energizing smoke. Not edgy like some sativas can be, so if I did smoke during the day, it would be my first choice.
Hard to pick favorites with hsc since everything they put out is noteworthy. They're really all my favorites.
I have only smoked a few that I grew out this year.
Humboldt Dream to me is OK. It took way too long to finish, tastes good, but the high is mediocre, and not very strong. Will not be running this again.
Squirt is amazing, terps carried thru dry/cure and tastes like a fresh squeezed grapefruit, and the whole house smelled the same way after smoking. Awesome energizing daytime high. Beautiful dark purple buds that reek of grapefruit, will run this again.
Now, Pistachio, this is one that hits the mark. Everyone loves this smoke, most because it's "overly" potent. It's very easy to grow, very mildew resistant, and a big yielder.
Sweet smelling after curing, but that's where it ends. Taste is different, kinda nutty, reminds me of the old school Columbian we could get some 40+ years ago, and has a knock down stone to it, smoke too much, and your definitely couch locked.
I ran a few ounces up to my Aunt who suffers from anxiety horribly. A few of her Veteran Bike club members were over, and they all got fried off 1 joint, that they didn't even finish.
My aunt will actually get out of the house, ride in the car, and go shopping, which is a real chore for her, and it helps her get thru the day.
Had to run a bunch more up for the old Veterans, because some that have PTSD have said that it's the 1st time in a long time, that they've gotten good sleep, and say it's better than some of the shit the VA keeps trying to pump into them.
Some of the local younger Veterans I help every year, I gave out a few strains, Pistachio is a hands down favorite also.
I've gotten a couple phone calls from wives asking me "what did you give him??" It seems to help them better than the psychotropic drugs that the VA hands out like candy.
So for me, Pistachio is definitely in my "keeper" stable of seeds. Yield, taste, and high all hit the mark, and how much it helps out my fellow Veterans, is another reason to keep it in the stable.

I actually grew 3 lemongrass as well, I forgot about it because I didn't buy them, I traded a friend some seeds for their hembra (now gaslamp seeds) freebies which happened to be lemongrass. It was great for me, too; good potency, on the quicker side flowering, and the smell was like a buttery lemon smell, like a lemon bar, which stands to reason because it's a gelato cross. E:Actually, Hembra/Gaslamp is having an awesome sale, even cheaper than chitown where I usually get seeds, $75/pack on HSC. I've been tempted by their raw genetics packs too, $60/5 fems)

Getting close to harvesting All Gas OG. Hella Jellys are hanging in the other tent.. 53 days after a 2 week transition to 12/12. One pheno should have gone a week or so more. Both could’ve used more time to ripen further. I’ll wait until bottom buds are within the window before chopping, and top buds are nice and ripe, with middle buds probably being perfect. At 58 days right now. I’m guessing another week. It smells fantastic like burnt motor oil and lemon.
Here’s the All Gas OG. This pheno is a gorgeous looking plant with leaves turning dark red to purple black and awesome colorful buds. The blood orange hairs and shades of purples and greens. Grown organically in soil with Nectar For The Gods.
Anyone smoke this one before? What did you like or dislike about it?

Smoking some now, cured almost a year. Some of my favorite. Has an aftertaste same as the jar smell
I hope mine ends up similar to your description. Sounds great! I should probably get in the habit of taking clones in case I do stumble across a keeper eventually. I have a feeling the Sour Power bag seed has the potential…but I didnt take any cuts.
What’s the nose on it? Does yours feel more Sativa or Indica dominant?

Collie Man Kush. One of em is gettin' weird on me, lol! These babes are one week apart (18 and 25 days from seed, pictured). The big one already has a nice aroma when I touch it!
You better clone that bottom plant, it might be very unique.
