Update. My tall Kush Berry has a really nice body buzz. Still very indica in effect and was great for sleeping without being a total knockout. The jar smells different than my shorter KB, this one has a jelly-roll smell to it that's really nice.
The night before, we sampled Northern Skunk for the first time. I felt like it was a slow and steady creeper that kept getting more intense for a couple of hours, after which it came down. Long lasting high, indica dominant-hybrid effect, feels awesome. Great for late nights, not a total knockout but relaxing enough to ease you to sleep. My wife and I have been watching episodes of Veep lately and everything was funnier than usual. Uplifting. Great cross by MikeJ!
Skunk Berry was the night before that. It's definitely a powerhouse strain and my wife called it special within minutes of vaping it. Powerful head and body highs; I'd call it a well-balanced hybrid where the indica and sativa influences are both equally powerful. I found it a bit more psychadelic than most strains....it almost has a space-altering effect. Great berry taste; a connoisseur strain IMO.
So far, I've tried NL, NB, KB, KNL, KB and NS. I found KNL the weakest. It had a great calming effect without making me feel high. It might be good for some for daytime anxiety. I don't want to diminish the strain or Mike's work though, my lack of grow skills could have affected this strain more adversely than others. NB was no slouch with medium potency and a nice indica buzz, and the other four strains were really nice while more potent in effect. I'm very happy with this grow all in all, we have way more than we can use before my next grow is harvested.
My question to the community here is.....should I try KNL again, but when I know I can grow it better?
