"Cooter Bar"

Two bags of Chocolate Chips and 2 ozee's of bud with the addition of coconut! It’s kinda like a giant Mounds Bar, I was going of the Almond Joy idea but i forgot the to buy the almonds at the store. (self you’re a dumbass!)

I don't know too much about TW, heard it changed over the years...how would you describe the smell, structure, potency of the TW you remember?
Click to expand...
the reason it's changed so much overtime is because every "brokedick breeder", and his cousin tried to create their own version of Trainwrck, Northern Lights, White Widow. But at the same time so did every other seed company in europe too. But the original Arcata Trainwreck was a clone only version. So when I see Greenhouse Seedbank selling Trainwreck seeds, it makes me wonder..

All the trainwreck I have tried has been pretty consistent over the last 25 years that I have smoked it... I guess it's where you live...
I definitely would not trust a Greenhouse version of anything.... as said before they try to imitate version... There are plenty of strains that made it to Amsterdam in clone form (Indiana Bubblegum for example) but Greenhouse sure didn't get any.
Best pheno I tried was called Wayne's Trek on the Train wreck..
I went to Humboldt state for a year (circa 1987) and I'm sure that I wasn't even smoking the best stuff available cause I was just a college punk... But Trainwreck and Golfball Skunk were the weed du jour so I became intimate with those flavors.. Ironic that the golfball skunk became extinct and the trainwreck is at the bottom of the list with regard to my favorite strains..
@SurfD I would be happy to sample your stock to let you know if it's the real deal :)

@PunaBud I have found so many strains out here that people claim are one thing.. and they turn out to be something completely different... For example all the God's Gift that I have been encountering the last year around North Shore was not Og x Mendo Purps (or OG x GDP) like I have encountered in California.. Also the AK47 and White Widow out here are nothing like I remember from my early adventures with ganja..

I really think a lot of dealers/Growers out here will throw names on stuff they get just to get more interest... Most people are clueless.....
I know most of the folks on this board know what they are growing because lots of you are going out and getting the seeds from the original breeders...

LOL Cooter... are you making butter with that 2 oz of ganja before you throw it in the mix or are you throwing the weed in as is???
I was thinking that the latter would be very chewy :)

As is on this one, I've done it both ways. I turned the bud into dust with a coffee grinder then I swift it threw a fine strainer straight into the melted chocolate. The additional coconut helps the mouth feel quite a bit. Honestly If I didn’t add the coconut you’d hardly notice the difference

I don’t like to use canna butter because it thins out the chocolate too much for me. In my experience the chocolate made with canna butter melts quickly and is really soft. It tastes great but its a real mess. After mowing down a few chunks of it, it looks like I applied Chap Stick to my lips that was made out of cat shit….lol ...it makes for a really nice shit eating grin.

Have you had the pleasure of trying 'Chunkle' yet? Chunkle is God's Gift X Master Kush X Deep Purple, the strongest purple indica you can smoke...ever! Makes GDP look like Mexi swag!

If that's Subcool's Deep Purple.... then I wouldn't bet my house on it...
Before I moved here my grow partner and I germinated 150 seeds of Deep Purple looking for a true purple pheno to breed with... NOT one!!!! and our best keepers were not even the best example of an Purple Urkel... I gave up on Subcool after that investment.. (okay maybe some sputnik 2) ....
Where is the Master Kush from?... The strongest strain in that group of crosses is the Master... and So Cal Master has rated a much higher thc% than black label, white label, and Nirvana... I sampled the Dutch Passion Master Kush when I was in Amsterdam in Feb... it wasn't worth it ( I got the Durban Poison instead)..

I am completely happy with my Purple Ape x Chemdawg 2008.... It doesnt go purple unless it gets below 70, but is certainly has a thick grape taste with a slight chem aftertaste...

And what is with the name Chunkle.... I thought Tom Hill and his Deep Chunk had the market on Chunk type names...
Deep Chunk = Pure Afghan & So Cal Master (Hindu Kush highland x hindu kush lowland) are the two strongest pure indicas tested.... Just not purple..

What do you think the strain called Gods Gift is? I know its not the same as the Gods Gift that has OG x GDP, but I am curious to what is the real strain of the North Shore Gods Gift. I enjoy the taste and the high is good but its not a couch lock and was curious to find out what strain it really is?

Have any of you guys experimented with the TAP water on Oahu? Over the past week I’ve made two teas (Just Compost) one with water straight from the TAP and one with water from the TAP that has set for 24 hours. Both seemed to inoculate the microbial activity at the same rate. I’m assuming by the results that Oahu must have really low levels of chlorine in the water? Or at least the water on the Westside (Pearl City) does. I really have no issue leaving water in containers to dissipate the chorine, but if the chorine isn’t strong enough to kill of the micro biology in the tea I’d like to eliminate the process of storing water. Has anyone else done any experimenting like this with water?

I believe they inject chlorine on a schedule, some days it's less, some more- I don't know it as a fact, but just a guess. Before I added a whole house filter it seemed with my sensitive nose this was the case...

Interesting! I wonder if I should up the potassium a little to compensate for the loss of potassium that is being bonded to the chlorine? Maybe add a little hard wood ash could be added prior to adding the amendments? An of course I can always bubble my water a good hour before adding any amendments and not have to really worry too much about it. Either way we’re lucky to live in a place that doesn’t have poisonous water. When I was a kid growing up in SoCal there is a little slice of Americana better know as “Riverside” and you could literally chew the water, as a matter of fact you still can I’m often reminded of that every time I visit my folks

It's my understanding we have some of the best tap water in the nation, I drink it....but I drink from the streams too....
Click to expand...
I wish drinking from the streams was as cool as it should be here- but don't you worry about leptospirosis? It's been getting bad the last decade- especially in Oahu. When I attended the "hunter Safety class" (for gun permit) they really scared me about that saying it's really common in the tested water samples out here. Usually from a little pig/rat shit that the rain washes the runoff into the streams. The guy told me he grew up here and you couldn't pay him to even swim in it anymore or wade through it, cuz apparently those little corkscrew suckers can screw themselves in your bloodstrean through the bottoms of your feet even...

Yeah, there is no banana poka on Oahu, we just used to call some of the invasive passifloras "poka". I'm pretty sure poka is a hawaiian term for vine or something like that. Did you guys get to the old burn site on Manana? Hopefully the baby koas are doing well....where to find the round ones? In my yard.....

Dude, I was growing the yellow ones- a volunteer that I took care of actually, but I had tons of those red striped passion caterpillers with the harmless black spikes- ate the crap out of them. I Put some in a terrarium and fed them till they made pupas and only a few days later they made beautiful butterflies. FYI- they're not born poisonous, but passiflora has large amounts of cyanide in the leaves and green fruits and the caterpillars concentrate it and keep it in their system for life as predator protection- hence the red warning. Do you get a bunch on these too? At first I thought they were those stinging ones that are a new invasive species- they look somewhat similar.
