Very interesting! My neighbors are going to be pissed when they find me clipping their cedars and furiously sniffing jars of basil and tobacco. Hey fuck off Greg, I'm trying to figure something out.
So i looked up the wet Tap genetics and it looks like both parents are pretty potent IDH, so maybe it's there to push potency or stabilize something. I find that a lot of growers have a strain they do that with, here it's usually stardawg or GMO which is ok but boring after a while just because I've had it so much. Im glad to hear I was way off on my prediction with the WC, I guess I was just assuming what our shitty basic bitch growers would do rather than a competent breeder, let alone a mad scientist haha. I'm very interested in how the RF hits you now, if I actually guessed right and this one is anything like orange krush then you're in for a treat.
Pineapple haze sounds soooooo dope. If it's a chunk cross then according to Google it's lineage is Haze x (pineapple x (cheese x skunk 1)) ... Not bad haha. Some of the most legendary and important strains ever in there and since this guy clearly knows his shit I'd expect them to be very good, pure parent cuts. In any other stash I think this would be the star of the show, but you happened to get it alongside one of the rarest and most revered strains ever haha. With those genes I'm guessing it'll be fairly down the middle or slightly sativa leaning from the haze?
The guy that bred the Wet Tap and Redneck Frosting works a lot with Pure Michigan, I believe he might be one of the only breeders in Canada working with it. Check him out on IG: BarrieGrower. Dude has some amazing work and I'd love to grow his stuff. I know Space Sherpa and Simcoe Country Chronic work a lot with BG's beans and they both have beautiful product (their profiles may be private, but well worth a look if they aren'). Never done business with Simcoe, though.. would love to, his stuff looks outstanding.
The Redneck Frosting should be called "day wrecker", fucking thing turned me into a house plant in the middle of the afternoon. SO potent, I needed a nap. This is some late-night, watching LOTR-type of weed. High is very different from the Wet Cherry, even if they share the same genetics and are both indicas. RF is like a Mirko CroCop kick to the dome, WC comes on slowly but like a freight train. WC's high is smoother, more physical (bit of a hashy high), RF is is a heaaaaavy head high that knocked my ass out. I'm going to give it another go but not a whole joint this time lol Both highs are quite long-lasting, longer than i'm used to.
I'd say the Pineapple Haze is the highlight of the bunch; taste, smell, high, burn... everything is perfect. I can smoke it day and night no problem. 60/40 Sativa hybrid I'd say, right up my alley. I smoked a joint of it yesterday and could not taste my beer after, the taste is out of this world. I could smoke only this from now on and not complain one bit. Wish I could make you taste it, I'm sure you'd like it.
Panama Red is super special though, there's no high like it. He's got another jar put aside for me for my next order and for that I'm super grateful. I'm super tight-lipped about it and haven't told any of my friends. IT'S MINE DAMN IT.
Space Sherpa's also got another Thai in the works, but we're looking at 18-20 weeks of flowering, so that won't be for now. He's also growing some FIRE looking Super Silver Haze for his headstash and hopefully he'll be sending me a sample as well. Saw some pics and it looks nuts, pink hues and a ton of trichomes. Haven't had SSH in over ten years, I'm so excited, it's an old favourite of mine.
Sherp also just got his Black Milk (Right Hemisphere Genetics) tested at High North Labs in Toronto ... since you're the terp guy, perhaps you can tell me what the fuck this means:
https://ibb.co/99CgGM0 That's one I really want to try but never got around to.
I know the numbers look good, but none of this means any sense to me.
@IusedToSkateMore That's some nice looking stuff my friend. Sadly, BBK and G13 never made their way up here. I remember reading High Times and dreaming of smoking G13. Was that your grow ? If so, fine work, good sir.
In those years, up here it was all about the Montreal Purple Kush, Sour and NYC Diesel, Silver/Super Silver/Amenesia/Lemon Haze, Lemon Skunk, Chocolope and White Widow crosses. A loooot of fucking Purple Kush, though... to the point where I got sick of it. Same thing happened in BC as well. Market was flooded with it unfortunately. Wouldn't be mad to see it properly grown today by someone who knows what they're doing, though.
