Yeah man, Wookiee was an Airedale.
Great dogs, especially on a farm.
Finally finished my smoke report for the bubba katsu x wookie testers. Pretty detailed, long read. Good smoke.

Grow report: veg & flower time, stretch, issues.
Vegged for about 75 days. Very slow growing, and need to be spread out, trained and topped for yield. Droopy leaves throughout veg – comes from the Bubba, I’ve read? These took the longest of anything I’ve ever seen to clone – 7 to 9 weeks when other cuts rooted in 2. Flowered for 49 days and they were done, for sure. Could run them longer, but no point. Very little stretch. They only stretched when rootbound in veg, not much in flowering. Maybe 25%. Weren’t the happiest in flowering, and seemed to have some lockout or pH issues, but still produced some of the most frost and best smells I’ve grown.
Yield, Bag Appeal & Density (yields are from 3gal cloth pots)
- Pheno 1: 45g. Nice golfball and smaller nugs, shaped like pine cones. Fairly dense, but not fat calyxes. Sticky and jams the grinder.

- Pheno 2: 47g. Surprising yield from the smallest plant, but great bag appeal. The frostiest, stickiest I’ve seen. The purple and super dark green colas are photogenic as hell with the slightly yellowing coat of frost. A little leafy, and not super dense.

- Pheno 3: 40g. Looser nugs that are very leafy and hard to trim. Very sticky and good frost coverage, but the nug structure is not a keeper.

- Pheno 4: 46g. Nugs are caked, even on leaves, and the trichs look slightly phosphorescent - mildly canary colored. Exceedingly sticky, and buds have purple calyxes inside. Not dense, and a little leafy, but nobody cares.

Aroma Level & Description
- Pheno 1: 7/10 fairly loud, but gross. Straight up Cheetos. Not kidding. It’s a crazy smell, but not good.
- Pheno 2: 9/10 very loud and intoxicating smell. It was cherry when first dry, but it’s leaning towards Concord grape in cure. Stinks up the whole house, but doesn’t smell like weed.
- Pheno 3: 6/10 sorta strong, but weird smelling again. In the jar, this one smells exactly like smoked salmon – lox – with a floral note at the end. It makes me want to gag. Ground up, it smells like lemon Skittles. Weird, huh?
- Pheno 4: 8/10 loud and proud of its cherry grape. In the jar, it has strong hints of rose and sage, but with a little tartness on the end.
Smoke Report and Ratings (Taste, Effects, Smoothness, Duration, etc.)
- Pheno 1: 6/10. Vaping, it tastes like flowery Cheetos in the mouth – think plumeria with powdered cheddar. On exhale, it goes bad and tastes like burning hair with some chocolate mixed in. Lingers like cheap powdered cheese in the mouth. A little harsh. Quick effects, immediately puts pressure behind the eyes, lowering eyelids. Sedated but clear mind. Makes me dizzy and has some strange effects on distance vision - almost psychedelic. After the 30min rush, it's very relaxing and makes for good sleep. Nice nighttime smoke, but only has effects for an hour or so.
- Pheno 2: 9/10. Vaping this brings out the strong cherry flavor, with Jasmine green tea in the back end. Stems taste like fresh blueberries. Flavor coats your mouth and throat, lingering. Smooth. Very fast acting. Immediate restlessness, but feels like you're in slo-mo. Focused, almost OCD on tasks. Visual and audio stimulation to the max, almost psychedelic. Making music on this is phenomenal! Lasts for a couple hours. Great for intense hiking or physical labor.
- Pheno 3: 6/10. Tastes nothing like it smells. It’s sweet and pumpkin-spice with a little onion in the background. Mouth-coating flavor that numbs the tongue and throat a little. Fairly smooth smoke. Feel it a little bit right away, but then kinda creeps over the next 10min. Heavy eyelids, body relaxing. Clear headed, but definitely a nighttime smoke. Makes for great sleep. Quite short duration – 30 or 45min max.
- Pheno 4: 8/10. Strong front notes of Concord grape juice, with a fresh tartness. Like #2, floral hints of rose and sage in the finish. Smoke is very smooth but acrid - makes you want to sneeze if exhaled through the nose. Then it's party time! Dancing! Very medicating, but with a lot of sway and swagger if social. No impact on speech or coherence. Can be introspective if you're alone, but not an impediment to clear thought or words. Calm and surprisingly focused high. Lasts a couple hours.
Medicinal value?
The green phenos are great nighttime smoke for chilling and early bedtime. Not pain-relieving, but they definitely make for great sleep. The purple phenos are a higher buzz, more for social or getting shit done.
Overall impression?
Not for a novice grower, and not a commercial strain, but it’s great as head stash. I’m partial to the purple phenos because they smell, taste and look better than the green phenos, and they have more uplifting effects. Mega bag appeal on the purple phenos as long as people can get over the leafiness. I wouldn’t travel with this except in a sealed jar, because it’s dank.
Keeper?
The purple phenos are definitely keepers for head stash. Great looks, great smells, great uplifting effects, and very fast flowering.
