Hey man I’m not the person you replied to but I jus got done with a plat zooks and a banana cake both were really nice. The banana cake was the stinkiest plant out of 8 plants and 6 strains i did. A slurricane I had was next stinky with skunky/gas and tropical floral funk (but the other slurricane was really faint smelling) and then next up coming in close was the platinum zooks smelling jus quit skunky hence why it’s rated after the slurricane. The banana cake is super pungent skunk with slightly sour pickled onion undertones, It’s really nice but went about 10 weeks but yield was really good to make up for it. Someone else I see in this thread an elsewhere had similar results with banana cake too so it doesn’t seem mine was one off phenotype or anything and it’s quit common for it to pack on some stink.
The plat zooks Is pretty nice but like the other person said the platinum seems to have watered down the stink from the zookies. Never done zookies myself so don’t know how stinky it is but I’d say the plat zooks is about half as stinky as the banana cake without as much of a complex smell going on as it’s jus nice an skunky but damn does she look nice, she’s smokes fine too but nothing compared to bc an slurricane.
the banana cake is almost as stinky as the exodus cheese but not earthy like cheese an maybe not quit as stinky but it’s close.
Yield was actually quit good for the zooks. One thing I found odd the plat zooks had literally no smell all the way up to about week 7-8 flower then in the final 2 weeks it started to pack on some skunky stink and by the time it was done at 9 weeks it really kinda stunk. Never had a plant develope terps so much that late in flower before an go from no smell to loads of smell in less than 2 weeks.
The platinum adds a lot of frost but some strains and plants it seems it does water down the stink an smell a bit. But it also adds pm and rot resistance too and does wonders with some strains like platinum kush breath which I’ve got a couple on now 3 weeks flower.
I’ve heard a few people comment the same on the plat gorilla too, that it doesn’t carry the terps of the gg4 over at all or very well. Maybe you’ll get lucky tho as I’ve also seen some good reports on it too.
Cheers bud. I ended up getting 2 packs of the platinum gorilla. They are supposed to be 10 packs but got 12 in each. Popped the lot of them, just waiting for them to pop there heads out now. Hopefully there's a pheno or 2 worth looking for.
I got some OGKZ, banana punch and purple punch freebies to try aswell. Ill drop them in the Wilma when the sour D finishes.
I'm hoping this platinum gorilla will do me well. If it can yield anything like a GG I want to reduce my plant numbers for the right pheno, fingers crossed.
The PKB and remix are fire. My best IHG strain so far next to his Double Agent which I had a while back and never kept a cut.
I think the platinum doesn't so much kill the terps, it just overwhelms with a very hashy terp profile in my experience. I get a really funky spectrum of terps off my pkb-r cut. Hash, fuel, rubber, candy, bubblegum, toast and zingy citrus. The bubblegum seems to go in late flower for some reason but the shits tasty and potent, just wish the yield was better though, most likely the pheno I kept as I went for the frostiest most pungent purple bitch I had, instead of the heaviest yielding. I found the plants with the bigger fruits had the least character.
I was defoliating some of the fan leafs last night and my thumb looked like I'd had it up a blueberries arse
I'll post up some stuff as I go with the Plat GG, and the banana punch, ogkz, purple punch when I free up the other tent.
