OGKB x Strawberry Milk Evaluation & Smoke Report
Testers from bodhi seeds
"Where flowers bloom so does hope."
~ Lady Bird Johnson
Environment: Grown in organic dirt under 200w LED in a 4x4 tent. I sprouted them but then I got real sick and only 4 lived. 3 males, 1 female. Transplanted into recycled soil and flipped at veg day 31, 2 plants per 7gal until males declared. The female is the farthest right in this pic taken at transplant+flip, and all four had great root systems for only being in those 1/2 gal pots for a week.
They were happy plants and had great structure & branching after being topped. No slow or OGKB mutants, but they had similar thick, dark green, almost tough leaves. In veg they had a cool new cd case smell. From flip, a couple had this incredible smell of ramen or pho. That and the effects made me refer to this as the "Phogetaboutit" strain.
Clones weren't taken due to space constraints. Male branches were flowered separately and made about 15-20 F2. The single female went 70 days of 12/12. Stretch was about 2.5x. No stress afaik, but she did throw a few balls in week 3 directly after an application of gnatrol. I plucked and they never returned. Even one of males hermed.
I figure you should watch all plants for nanners, and it's not surprising that something with cookies lineage produced some sacks. No big deal. The males had great structure and nice bunches of bananas reminiscent of broccoli.
Overall, the lone lady was a happy plant that stayed dark green throughout, didn't fade at all, and even got a tiny bit of tip burn from used soil, so I'm guessing she's a light feeder.
Pheno 1: 45g of extra gooey, stinky, solid nugs. High bag appeal cuz she's a chunky frosty stinker. In flower she developed this amazing cuties citrus smell. Combined with the ramen smell, she's LOUD. One of the best smelling plants I've grown. She carried that into the jars; she has the kind of smell that fills a room immediately. Reminds me of other citrus cookies crosses. The flavor is an odd combo of home decor store potpourri and sour orange sherbet, with a hint of dryer sheets. Very yummy. The smoke is smooth but makes my nose stuffy. Initially restless effects transition to a dreamy daze, foggy and forgetful. When you snap out it, the effect's fairly functional. Short-lived at about 1.5hrs, she's only 6/10 on the potency scale.
Medicinal value? None that I can tell. There was no pain relief, and it actually made me feel a little tense.
Overall impression? Incredible flavors! Decent yield from an OGKB cross flowered young. Not my preferred effects, but also not terrible. For my needs she was just OK. I'm still looking for a cookies cross that I love, but so far I like what the Strawberry Milk male brings to the table.
Keeper? Maybe for the flavor chasers. This pheno didn't quite make the grade for me, but they can't all be keepers. I bet there's better to be found, and I'd love to get another shot at running a full pack.
"A flower's appeal is in its contradictions -
so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance,
so small in size yet big in beauty,
so short in life yet long on effect."
