A little kushberry porn anyone? It's just starting to purple out OMG!!!!!!!

@D_Urbmon You say that the SS x C99 made you "feel retarded" and it's great "to shut off an overactive mind". Those are "stoney" effects I would associate with an Indica-dominant strain and not with a SS x C99, which has more of a sativa background. Very surprised that the SS x C99 is stupefying (makes you stupid or retarded like you state) instead of being mentally stimulating, uplifting and perhaps even trippy which is what I look for. I was intrigued by this cross, but if it makes you retarded and shuts the mind off, it's not for me.

Yes it is odd considering both parents are sativa like but I guess that's what happens when crossing genetics. Because yes both the Sweet Skunk and C99 could be described as mentally stimulating. I would say though it's worth a try because we may all experience a particular strain differently. Also differing harvest times may play a role in said effects.

^^ I had a skunk from Seedsman that would shut down thinking. Just sit and stare into the distance kind of thing. Not stupefying just no thoughts to speak of. Was nice to relax. Not having a bunch of random and often useless thoughts is not the same as being a zombie or whatever. You just chill and if need be you can think just fine.

My Northern Lights from Peak is still one of a very few top strains for me, might be number one. I was smoking a few other strains I have and had not gotten around to it for a few months. Had a toke last night and shit, I was thinking why did I let that sit for so long?

I've only looked at a couple Sweet Skunk females (germinated 1/2 pack) and I really don't think it's even close to a pure sativa. Definitely a hybrid. I had one female that could only be described as Indica leaning. Neither was anywhere near as sativa as the Blue Dream cut I'm running.

@D_Urbmon what phenos did you encounter in peak's C99? Was it pineapple or grapefruit like the original Bros. Grimm? Or are there others hidden in there as well? I've read of some versions of C99 having a spicy/peppery pheno and that's not really what I'm looking for.

I only had I think 5 or 6 ladies out of what I germed so I never ran into any indica leaning plants. I did have some with a broader leaf but mine were all quite stretchy.

The first time I ran it I had 2 batches of seeds and some were spicy, but this time I didn't get any spice, just pineapple. I think OGEvilgenius had some grapefruit going on IIRC. I'll get back to you once they cure some.

It's all in the chemotype. Columbians would make you retarded and then put you to sleep. IMO the sativa indica thing is really more about the regions and the terpenes and chemical profiles than anything. I've got some real nice Warlock which is an indica dom right now that doesn't put you down and puts you in a great mood.

Yeah, I had one grapefruit leaner from C99 - most were pineapple. It was from quite a few generations ago I got the seeds like 3 years ago? I think if you requested a filial generation that was leaning in a direction he probably has packs... just a WAG.

@D_Urbmon I'm trying to get some info on Peak's SS x C99 and you seem the only one who has grown and smoke it, but your previous comments seem to go against the stupefying mind shutting description. Here's what you said before:

D_Urbmon: "I very much liked the Sweet Skunk x C99. It added yield and flavor compared to the pure Sweet Skunk and it added yield and a little punch to the pure C99. A little improvement to both strains by combining them if you ask me. It also seemed to bring the flowering time down from the Sweet Skunk as I ran into an 11 week pheno when I grew the Sweet Skunk, but there were also some 9 week phenos. I took it to 10 weeks, so it's definitely still not as fast as the C99. The flowers were absolutely beautiful too, and both strains to begin with had spectacular resin glands. I can't really say I prefer one over the other, as they say variety is the spice of life. But you nailed it man, SS x C99 is a racier and trippier type of high from the introduction of the Sweet Skunk. But at the same time it's a very functional high, not a sit on the couch and munch out type of high. The racy anxious feelings went away pretty quick though for me, and I have been smoking mainly Indica style herb my whole life so maybe I'm just sensitive to the "sativa" like effects. Most potent sativa I've grown? Probably just the Sweet Skunk and Sweet Skunk x C99. Oh, and Dynasty Genetics' CCK (Caramel Candy Kush) had a "sativa" pheno."

Sorry to keep bothering you with questions about it, but I'd appreciate if you could clarify it.

Will one of you pm me peaks
Correct address
I think read somewhere there's a well not so real site

What would y'all order for outdoors
I got at least 4 or 5 month veg time
Forget about mold and all that
What yields the best
I was thinking sweet skunk

Shit man, I'm trippin. It's been a while . I must have been confusing it with something else I grew. Easy to do when you're high all the time.

It's great herb nonetheless. Nice big frosty buds. You should grow it and try it for yourself! I've never grown anything from Peak that I was not pleased with that's one thing I can say FOR SURE haha! Sorry for the conflicting info's.

I have done business with PSBC several times and will again in the future. I have some sweet skunk flushing right now. This is the least consistent lowest yielding strain that I have bought from them. If your primary concern, this is not for you.

I gave it some good thought today while working and I'm pretty sure it was the SS x C99 that made me feel kind of retarded. But that's not to be confused with "stoney" or couchlock per say. I find herb smoke is not so black and white as indica couchlock/sativa active, there is a lot of middleground to cover. Such a wide range and combination of effects. I play some very brain power requiring video games like Starcraft 2 which requires a fuck load of actions per minute and multitasking and some herb just KILLS the multitasking ability that is required and I seem to remember thinking it was the SS x C99 that wrecked me in that game. It's hard for me to say for sure though because I have grown quite a few strains from several different breeders over the past couple years and I think I did the SS x C99 in 2014. Who knows maybe it was early in 2015? Hard to remember these kind of details when you're high all the time haha. Also IIRC I had 5 different ladies from that and their effects could have varied. I'm not the best at labelling and keeping everything separated.

Take it all with a grain of salt. I understand it takes months to invest into a harvest but your best bet is to try it out for yourself!

skunkberry mid flower, already smelling like bb candy.

Starting flowering my Kushberry at the first sign of new growth, transplanted to coco core last night. They seem happy this morning so we should be rolling soon....

There are 4 (11 total) different Peak Kushberry phenos here and 5 Mandala Hashberry...

Kush berries and skunks down will give full review when cure is complete ,but FYI this kb has the most berry flavor I have ever had the chance of smoking and that was done from paper bag quick cure.

skunkberry day 49 of flower

My experience with MJ at peakseedsBC has been nothing but phenomenal service.

I contacted him last week about placing an order and details on the mixed 20 pack. Emails were replied to very quickly.

I decided to go with the northern lights and ordered on Thursday, I had my beans on Tuesday of this week. Which was much quicker than I was expecting, since Canada Post seems to take a week to send a letter in my own province, let alone across the country.

As soon as I got them I started trying to germinate by soaking in water for an 2 hours then placing in damp paper towel. They still haven't germinated after about 60 hours. Well this is my first time so I figured I would give it another day or 2 then contact him to see if he has any tips ( I only germinated 4, so still have 6 left)

Well I didn't get a chance. He emailed me today responding to an email I had sent him to advice that I received the package. His email said that he has had a small number of reports of germination issues with 1 of his northern light batches and to let him know if I have any problems so he can make it right.

I mean what businesses actually do that? I'm not ready to give up on these beans yet and it very likely could just be me being impatient and they will still pop. But I am absolutely amazed at the quality of service that he would reach out to me to advice me of a potential problem as opposed to waiting for me to report an issue to him.

Hopefully I will wake up in the morning with them ready to go in the soil so I don't have to bother MJ until I'm ready to order a different strain.

You could scuff the rest of them. Sometimes seeds that are overripe don't want to germinate in my experience - too much husk to bust through. Scuffing with some sandpaper can help.

That will be my plan for the rest of them, as well as letting them stay in the shot glass for a bit longer. I'll give these ones a few more days and then go from there. It's possible I'm being impatient, fucked up my process, or gotba bad batch. Regardless of what the reason is, after the email I got from him tonight I am completely satisfied knowing that either these ones will work or he will get me some new ones......all without me even having to reach out to him first.

That is what I call service. I only ordered the NL cause I've heard it is basically the easiest strain to grow with the lowest smell. But now I'm looking at his TT x NL cross and I think that might be the strain for me. So that will be my next order as soon as I get a few of the seeds from this order sprouting.
