good looking thread..
a few notes that I can contribute:
- I haven't grown TCC Larry OGK myself personally but I have seen her flowering, first hand (a friend had a cut from a shop plus grew the TCC beans at one point as well). It's not the most potent smoking, as it typically has tested at a higher than average (approx 1.5%) CBD and only moderate THC levels.. at least in the several samples I have seen tested. Fantastic bag appeal, dense heavy fruity nugs with lots of resin. I have thought about grabbing the beans just to have the strain in the bank.. it's a SoCal original. no greater interest to acquire it beyond that, though.
..to some one else's earlier comment, there are far more bomb OG's to get in seeds form. I just grabbed the Buddha Tahoe OG myself and am really excited to pop those soon. Supposedly there is an elusive purple pheno in the Buddha Tahoe pheno scheme, if anyone can speak to this I would appreciate being more educated on the matter.
- I have grown out the Pre-'98 Bubba Kush Bx.. they were fem beans and no issue with hermies or anything. I will say though that it is a classic representation of a 100% indica: stout, fast maturation & low-moderate yield. the flavor is a hashy, berry-coffee taste with narcotic, social medicinal qualities. great for depression or anxiety. she is tasty and makes a great concentrate too if you're into hash.. but again, yield is something to keep in mind. if that is of no concern, then it is a fun plant to grow. also, uniform. each bean was the same pheno. so it was at least stable in that respect.
I have been hearing a bunch of crap about Swerve lately and his crew at the Cali Connection. frankly whether they are legit or not, everything I have smoked and grown by them has been dank and I have been pleased with. supposedly there is some drama in regards to the Girl Scout Cookies and his version that was put out in seed form. I think we are all human trying to imitate nature.. thats quite a feat.
