Tahoe OG Kush

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

• ‘OG Kush’ (the original cut) came from an s1 from in a bag of ‘91 Chemdawg in the Lake Tahoe area in 1996.

OG Is one of the strongest cannabis strains in the medical marijuana community. THC contents have been tested to be anywhere from 24-28% THC. The OG grows very viney with big spaces between inter-nodes. The OG loves feeding on N and calcium  & magnesium through out the vegetative state. One thing you must do when growing this strain is to let it veg out and super-crop. Many novice growers that attempt to grow OG result in low yields due to no low stress training such as topping or super-cropping. This is a plant that wants to grow strong for its environment so give it lots of speed bumps and physical training prior to flower.

Around the 6th week of flowering, progressively decreasing the nitrogen concentration, you want to up the levels of phosphorus and (P) Potassium(K). PPM’s of 1800 can be achieved with noticeable cola growth. Week 8 you want to completly cut all nutreients and give your plants a nice flush until week 10-11 depending on how well your environment treated your plants. Week 10-11 should be the window of when you should harvest OG Kush.

Chem-4

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I have access to Clones of the original chem-4 from JoeBrand.   My caregiver grew out this very stuff, and it was some of the most potent buds I’ve ever had. Super pungent, almost sour along with the sweet smell OG Kush has.  Immediate sensory alteration. Its has the high of a hard hitting sativa but carries along the nice subtle indica effects that most patients seek. Definitely a head stone. Be ready for your cranium to blast off of your shoulders into the stratosphere.  Be warned if your not doing much you might doze off with your shoes on. Nice thick blanketed feeling on your body.  For both, indica and sativa lovers.

This strain may benefit patients with any chronic illness, Glaucoma, Chronic Pain, Sleeping issues, eating disorders, Diabetes, Apnea, Asthma, Bi-Polar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Migraines, GastroIntestinal issues, Crohns disease, Muscle spasms, Arthritis

At a Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek Amphitheatre, ‘joebrand’ (aka ‘wonkanobe’) and ‘pbud’ met ‘chemdog’ and sold him an ounce of very high quality pot for $500. joe and chemdog exchanged numbers and they later arranged for two ounces to be shipped to chemdog on the east coast. According to chemdog, one ounce was seedless and the other had 13 seeds.

In ’91, chemdog popped the first 4 seeds. From these seeds, one male was found and disposed of (chemdog was young, you can’t blame him). The 3 females were labeled ‘chemdawg’ (now ’91 chemdawg), ‘chemdawg a’ (now chemdawg’s sister), and ‘chemdawg b’. In ‘01, chemdog and his girlfriend attempted to germ 3 more seeds, labeled ‘c’, ‘d’, and ‘e’. the ‘e’ seed never germinated, ‘c’ turned out to be junk (according to chemdog), and chemdawg ‘d’ was the keeper. In ‘06, ‘chemdog’ and ‘joebrand’ reunited and joe was given 4 of the last 6 beans: Chemdawg phenos 1-4, ‘4′ being the chosen keeper. Joe thought the ‘4′ was the best representation of the original and thus dubbed it the ‘reunion pheno’. Chemdog still has two seeds left in his stash.

Chem 4 Grows very similar to OG kush only with a bit more Vigor. Super cropping is highly suggested. Chem 4 has a tight bud structure with a large cola build. Chem 4 should be taken 10 weeks. See OG Kush for more details.

Headband

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Headband is supposedly a cross of OG Kush (a pheno of Chemdawg) and Sour D [(Chemdawg x Mass Super Skunk/NL)x DNL] which are both very popular in the Cali club scene. I would say that this strain leans mostly towards it’s Sour D side in flavor but more towards OG in high. The smell is quite strong with a fruity citrus smell that did not need to be squeezed to enjoy. This strain carried an initial sativa high that was good for focus and homework, however I did find myself getting pretty sleepy towards the end of the high. I think this would really benefit anyone with fatigue or mild depression. Like I said above, I found it really good for homework…two hours of homework and then an immanent break.

I would say this strain is right up there with it’s parents and it would be a hard choice if presented all three. I would say choose the best looking but I think Sour D is more of an Indica than the OG.

Wow Bikesair, your reviews are just awsome! I appreciate the good detail, it could help so many people. Do you have a good pic of headband?

Headband

lHeadband

Headband…GENETICS=        OG Kush x Master Kush x Sour Diesel
Very good pot. This is a great treat to start the day off right! Careful though as you can over do it, leading to a slightly sleepy effect, not feelng like an indica but like an overpowering sativa, it pops your eyes out your head for a better view above the clouds and puts em back in right before ya doze off. The initial high from it is speedy and doesnt seem to have a ceiling, bowl after bowl it gets ya higher.

The taste of it was very much like OG kush, with a slight aftertaste of fuel which I guess comes from the diesel as regular OG kush doesnt have this ime. Really pleasant to smoke except for the expansion which is very strong. It will make you cough on the exhale even though it is very smooth herb.

Smells pretty mush like OG kush, a little bit of astringent smell in there, this stuff would stink up a room really quick if its jar was opened.

overall a good morning and early day smoke, it has plenty of uplift to it, but if you smoke enough of it you can be put to sleep or made drowzy.

Avalanche

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Avalanche is a mostly sativa hybrid, well known for being one of the highest yielding strains. It has dark green leaves but the trichomes make it look white and sugar coated. It has a very strong fruit smell, but not overwhelming. You still get that great marijuana scent. The buds are dense and easy to manage, after a few tokes I was on my ass on the couch (out of it!). It’s a smooth smoke with a great fruity taste. It has a long lasting cerebral/euphoric high that will slowly fade throughout the body. It got me going around not knowing what I was after, but still allows you to get work done.

-Great Sleep promotor.
-THC Content: 16%+

Cheese

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Cheese, the name says it all, literally it smells and tastes like cheese. It kind of reminds me of the days in grade school when i would pop open some good ol’ cheese Cheetos. The taste is kind of like a fusion of fresh cheese and Marijuana, thus very pleasant. The smoke was very smooth, not hard at all, allowing a massive hits! Cheese is a light green color, (I’m still talking about the weed) with compacted buds, its not brittle at all. With a moderate amount of pistils and trichomes. This Strain is very fun, definitely when your out with friends. The high creeps up on you through your face down to your neck area. non-stop laughs and surly is going to be hard to take that smile off your face. Definitely brings up your appetite almost instantly. Great for people suffering eating disorders. Also can help with depression issues, the high is very happy/uplifting type.

-Good for apatite
-Could help with depression.
-THC Content: Mild 10-15%

Newly arrived at the GreenDragonCoop, Van nuys, CA.

NYC Diesel

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

NYC Diesel is  super dense and smelly. The smell stinks of highly compact/concentrated fruit thats mixed with the sweet scent of diesel. The taste is very citrus like, with a blend of fuel. The effect was as if the inside of your body was floating, don’t get me wrong, the effect is intense but in a relaxing way. I would consider this strain of medical marijuana for those who have problems with sleep, lack of appetite, or planning on a long trip.
-THC level - 20%
-Main breeder - Soma Seeds
