well they are testers, so it really is hard to know what will do what- i say just go with your gutThose of you who do the testing, how do you decide what to test? I mean there are SO many crosses to choose from! Yea, I got an email today
man, @Tangerine_, you always have such impressive photos... I can totally get not wanting to put up a pic that doesn't show the plant's full potential- especially when you know you can bring out the fire- makes me shy about putting up any half-ass pics... (I also name my plants... got a Velma and Daphne I just don't want to cut...)Sunshine Daydream.

Forgot to add, that's the first time it darkened up like that and I've been running it since early 2015. I let the temps get down to about 63.
My "shortie" cut didn't develop those deep purples. Just my taller "Strawberry Nesquik" cut.
I nickname all my keepers because when labeling, numbers are too impersonal. I get emotionally attached to my plants, lol
great review- you sold me... I gotta write up some tester reviews one of these days, but not now- i'm so freakin high right now... hard to read the words on the screen....bodhi's Chem Kesey Evaluation & Smoke ReportGrow Environment

I didn't grow this, but my buddy gave me a few details when he shared it with me. Ebb & flow running in a perpetual room under HLG Quantum Board LED lighting.
Notes & Flowering Time
Keeper found in one pack of bodhi seeds. Cloned and typically harvested at day 68-70 of flowering. Could be taken at 63, but better with the extra week.
Density & Bag Appeal
8/10 Density & bag appeal are on point, as you can see from the 3.5g nug above. It's clear the grower has a pro drying process. The buds are sticky but not wet. A couple of days after opening the ziplock samplers the first time, they've reached the perfect consistency for my taste.
Very good trim job. The frost is obvious. It's a little amber; looks like she went long, but the buds from this Goldilocks weed are not overly dense. She's just right.
This stuff destroys grinders, hinting at what's to come for me. (Samples equaling about 9 grams were compared.)
Aroma Level & Description
8/10 Smell is pretty loud, an herb & flower garden combined with sweet citrus, with a back end of sea breeze and swamp gas. Has an undercurrent of pro greenhouse hydro smell. Clearly not moldy or anything close, but kinda smells like a high-humidity environment. I wouldn't call it fuel, but it smells flammable, again like a swamp. (I sealed the nugs in a jar, then alternated sniffing a jar of organic whole coffee beans, then the jar of Chem Kesey.)
Taster Ratings & Smoke Report
7/10 Taste is again very familiar, and pretty strong. First vape hit was delicious perfume & kinda chem dryer sheets, but more perfumed than anything else. Almost like a men's cologne. 2nd hit is more of the same, but then a citrus top note appears with dirt / earth beneath. Definitely chem...that dryer sheet flavor is vaguely like bandaids smell. Not really strong, but there's something to it.
Just like the smell, the flavor really has an undercurrent of how a pro greenhouse smells. Left a peppery, gassy, and sorta sweet mildew flavor in the mouth. That sounds gross but it's not. Bowl had a savory, stinky, almost salty hash smell when cleaned out. (@Thor’s hammer I vaped @ 388F from Flowermate V5.0 Pro convection handheld vaporizer. 392 is where the compounds in cannabis start to become carcinogenic, or so I've read, so a few degrees below that seems good to me.)
9.5/10 Effects & potency are really spectacular. I never thought I'd say this, but I deducted half a point because it's too potent for some people. (Actually had one lady complain about it from a few vape hits LOL.) The effects aren't a creeper, because you notice the warmth in your face & head immediately, but do come on gradually over the first 30min. Then it's a thrill ride for the next 30. Body feels electric like I drank a couple shots of espresso, but I'm disoriented, glued to the chair. I felt like Bobcat Goldthwait.
I thought my mind was pretty unaffected, then I realized I was holding my breath the last 30sec for no reason. LOL (This happened repeatedly.)
After the first hour of balls to the wall thrills, she chills out to merely very baked during the last hour or so, for a total duration of about 2hrs. (3 vape hits + 1 to cool down the chamber after it was off.)
Medicinal Value
No pain relief at all, just ripped to the gills.
Overall Impression?
I thought I'd wait before posting this, give it some thought, let the Chem Kesey sink in while also sampling the other varieties in my care package. I didn't need to.
Chem Kesey is intense weed, up front and in your face from the word Go, but what would you expect from a strain named in honor of the legendary countercultural author, psychedelic guru, and weed activist? (Not to mention her epic pedigree.)
Her unique bouquet smells and tastes like dead tour. We got a lot of weed like this in Oregon in the early/mid 90s, and on dead tour during the same period. Never knew what it was, just "kind bud" or "snow bud." I wasn't heavily connected like some.
Everything about it is strong. Smell. Flavor. Potency. Effects. Who knows if it would test high, but who fucking cares when it gets you this baked? I'd love to give her a shot in an organic soil environment. Not for novice smokers.
Keeper?
Yes, absolutely. No hesitation. If this isn't a keeper, I don't know what is.
What makes you say that?That MammothP does work, but I've found you need to stop using it around wk 5 or 6 on 9-10wk strains. I could be totally wrong but this has been my observations with it in soil.
By choosing strains that intrigued me. I'm really interested in landraces, so the OMGxdragonsblood and mango biche x Iraqi were pretty clear standouts on the list. I said i'd be interested in any of like, 10, and those were the two I got. They're doing pretty well. Going long but looking good.Those of you who do the testing, how do you decide what to test?

Whatever 5.85 on my volcano is?What temp do you guys recommend vaping at?
On the Crafty, it's around 335 -350....on the volcano somewhere around 7. Doubt that helps muchWhat temp do you guys recommend vaping at?
Oh that's so nice to hear. Don't be shy about posting pics especially in this thread. And Ive seen your plants. They're anything but half ass. You've got skillz.man, @Tangerine_, you always have such impressive photos... I can totally get not wanting to put up a pic that doesn't show the plant's full potential- especially when you know you can bring out the fire- makes me shy about putting up any half-ass pics...

That's one hell of a plant right there! Kudos. One of the best looking ssdd I've seen so far.Sunshine Daydream.

We keep it pretty chill over in the chucker's paradise and if you're in the thread at the right time you get a chance to get some of the best freebies around!Wow is it possible this entire thread has nothing negative and no one arguing??? this is my first time to this thread heard about it from a friend! And after the last 6 pages I can't find a single negative comment! How is this possible lol have I died and gone to heaven or what!
Yeah, it does smell awful, lol.What makes you say that?
Just wanted to follow up on this a bit. We add MammothP two times a week and every ten days with an inoculating flush in coco, so might not apply but curious anyway!
Seems to work good though. Smells awful
Your reviews consistently blow me away Nu-Be. They're well detailed, complete, informative and entertaining. That Bobcat Goldthwait bit cracked me up. lol.bodhi's Chem Kesey Evaluation & Smoke ReportGrow Environment

those plants look really happy. very clever idea keep us posted.Grow space, for backyard growers it is limited. I like to maximize my garden space by staggering my plantings. Basically from the spring solstice on I pop seeds every few weeks hoping to spread it out. Fun to play with, I miss it when there are no plants to visit.
I am experimenting with photo period. These were sprouted Aug 16 so basically about 7 weeks. I have been keeping them in veg by moving them under LED lights in the evening to extend the day so they have been on a 18 x 6 sun/LED schedule.
Now that I have harvested my spring plantings & finally have some room these are being promoted into the garden to flower. The days here are now 11 hours 36 mins of daylight & getting shorter. They should sext right away, should see the stretch soon. I expect them to finish mid-Dec. Cooler night temps can make for interesting colors.
1st pic is More Cowbell f1’s. 2nd pic is more of my f3 SSDD x BBHP x Gogis, I am liking this cross a lot. Let's see what happens.
