This OGKB has been vegging for almost 5 months (very slow) and has been LST'd. Just waiting for the right pollen donor.

Wow,5 months.That would be a nice pheno to have,I almost always overveg.Big ass 5' plants before flower is a pain in the backpiece when you havenother shorter plants in flower already. I wonder if it'll veg faster in my system,getting multiple feeds a day.
I have/had a bubba kush that vegs really slow when I handwatered it. When thrown into the system,the veg ticks up a but yet still considerably slower than other starins in the system.
Nice LST Schwaggy.

Nice LST Schwaggy.
Thanks, her cuts are a bit faster in the hydro setups, but she's the slowest vegging plant I've ever grown.

Taste

When you first crack open a full jar of the Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2 (CCS), this dark/bitter baker’s chocolate immediately floods out of the crusted nugs. Hovering your nose over the jar and taking a long draw sniff reveals the berries just underneath the initially overwhelming cocoa aroma. The berry component has a light resemblance to fresh strawberries, but has been described by others as having a more generic berry (generic meaning not one particular type of berry) splash to the complex nose. Neither the chocolate nor berry has a sweet/sugary aspect, more of a bitter chocolate and natural berry qualities.

On the exhale, you definitely pick up berry flavoring. At first you think, “It’s like blueberries, strawberries, grape, raspberry...” and then it hits, Crunch Berries! She tastes like Cap’n Crunch Crunch Berries cereal. This resemblance to the cereal does not have the overly sweet/sugary aspect that the cereal has, but the flavoring is very similar. This mix of all things berry gives way to the dark cocoa hash foreshadowed in the smell. The chocolate taste lingers in your mouth after the berries. The CCS is able to produce this complex flavor profile long after the first “green hits” are a memory in your smoke session.

Effect

The first thing you notice after a few minutes is the heaviness of swelled eyelids. A tingling starts behind the eyes and a sense of “rush” begins to fill your chest. An uptick in heart rate makes you double take to make sure she’s still “indica”. The beginnings of raciness begin to take over for about 10-15mins as your body tries to acclimate to the huge chemical bath you just gave your brain. This subsides rather quickly leaving you in a spacey cloud of upbeat energetic relaxation. The CCS has a calming and mood-elevating characteristic.

She does not have an overwhelming couch-lock, but can definitely mellow you out. Her effect is one of a functional indica that would be a great midday smoke loosening you up without putting you to sleep. The CCS is a solid “good-time” smoke that is great for social situations either preparing you for them or accentuating a get-together.

Overall
The Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2 has a very enjoyable and complex aroma that truly does not disappoint. We can all rattle off many strains we’ve come across with very descriptive names that fall well short once smelled/tasted/experienced that you’d expect from such colorful, flavorful, bombastic names. This is one that lives up to the name.

She is a breeze to grow with great vigor. She can handle any training techniques and will begin to purple at about week 5-6 of flower. The CCS would be very kind to newer growers or those that prefer fewer headaches when growing as she can handle a wide range of feeding without throwing fits. Her shorter flowering time ensures a brisk end to an easy grow cycle.

Her genetic background is solidly indica but has expressed a great headiness, which makes for very functional daytime smoke. The CCS has great bag appeal and a generous coating of frost.

If you’re looking for complex flavorful cannabis that is easy to grow, rewards with a nice relaxing upbeat effect, and has cover girl appeal, look no further than the Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I am neither a writer nor photographer. I try to describe the experiences in a way that allows the reader to experience/imagine it too. I'll be posting more smoke reports as time allows me to write them up. Thanks for dropping in and reading through.

I love your smoke reports, you could go into advertising. You always make me want them all. :clap: :lol:

Did you do a smoke report for your Green Crack CBD? I have some of your seeds germinating for outdoors, planning on half inside half outdoors, wondering what to expect. I would assume mostly indica?

I sure don't like that name Green Crack...sounds like meth heads.

Thank you! I know GLG has some of @Useful Seeds Double Dipped Strawberries in stock if you wanted to try some Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2 genetics.

I did not do a smoke report for the Green Crack CBD, but I do have one in early flower so I took a few shots and threw together a quick report...

Green Crack CBD
Smell: mango, sugar/sweet, pineapple
Taste: generic tropical fruit candy, sweet
Effect: rubbery body buzz like being drunk without the slurred speech
Growing:
Stretch: roughly doubled initial flowering height
Flowering Time: 60-65 days
Nutes: Moderate feeder, no specific requirements

Taste
She smells like very sweet mango/pineapple gummies from mid flower until the end. Unlike other candy type smelling plants that start to funk-ify later in flower, she keeps the bright sugary tropical smell the whole way through. This aroma stays true in the smoke as your exhale has a tropical artificial sweetener taste. It does not linger like the greasier strains, but it is a pleasant flavor.

Effect
I’ll admit this is not a jar I reach for often, but if you’re achy, sore, or overworked, she can definitely help you out. Her pedigree is sativa so there is a bit more euphoria to the CBD buzz than you might expect. The sativa contribution to the effect is not overly racy or energetic but the CBD body blow adds a nuance you don’t get in most smoke.

The pain relief aspect to her seems to come more from her anti-inflammatory trait that acts like a solid dose of ibuprofen. The body buzz fully develops after about 15-20mins and feels reminiscent of an alcohol buzz if you’ve had a few too many. This “drunk” feeling is only in regards to the way your body feels; you don’t become disoriented or surly.

This is a cut I keep in the flower rotation for a specific older person who has many issues that they find are helped greatly by the Green Crack CBD. They have actually been able to stop taking the harder prescription opioids because this is able to knock out the pain as well as elevate mood without all of the bad aspects of pills.

Overall
The Green Crack CBD is an easy to grow plant that rewards with some solid medicine that even non-medical smokers can enjoy. She responds well to any training techniques, doesn’t require special feeding, and boasts an above average yield.

She can help ease the physical discomfort life throws at you with a sweet tropical flavor and some sativa influence to put you in a better mood.

I paired her with the Jabba's Stash to double down on the body relaxation and help with sleep as well. The Jabba male did express purpling, which I hoped would add some more anti-inflammatory myrcene (purples tend to have elevated myrcene) to an already relieving strain. I would expect more indica types to come from the pairing.

I'll update pics of the Green Crack CBD as she develops in flower. Thanks for growing them out and I hope you find something truly helpful in them.

Green Crack CBD
Wow, thanks so much for taking the time for that report! It sounds perfect & pineapple too. Cool.

Is the plant pictured the Green Crack CBD/Jabba Stash cross or the pure Green Crack CBD strain?

I plan to use it more for the extracts, my caramels & my salves. Last CBD effort (Midnight Lime) I added some of the pollen to a hash run which I liked a lot blended but I could not get interested in smoking it alone, kinda like what you said here, rarely chosen. Does your friend smoke it or extract it?

I am still trying to dial in the CBD, too bad testing is so expensive. A CBD caramel for sleep is magic for me & the CBD salve is super effective.

Thanks again, both for sharing the seeds & for the killer report.

You're very welcome, it's my pleasure.

The plant pictured is the Green Crack CBD at day 12 of flower.

My friend smokes the GC CBD flower by itself. Hopefully you'll find a CBD rich plant in the seeds for your extracts, caramels, and salves. I can appreciate the struggle to find CBD rich plants the old fashioned way :-).
