Brotherhood OG (Happy Brother x Biker Kush)

[dank.frank]

And for what it is worth - I DID find 1 seed in #6, 2 in #7 and 3 in #8. I'm not sure where the pollen came from or who the culprit is - but I've got a few seeds out of the flowers I've trimmed. And this is one of those time you get excited for such a find - labeled and bagged.

The only thing at their age in flower at the time was them - so the pollen had to have come from themselves, at some point. But I never saw balls or nanners on these girls. So, virgin birth Brotherhood OG beans made dank.Frank an even happier farmer!!!

Great find on those beans too

Hi Franck great job with your ladies, tried Karma's Happy Bro Bx1 and sure it was a complex and very tasty smoke... Enjoy

Peace

nasty nasty dank!!! All I can say is...glad I got a pack of these! Serious dank as always DF..

 

[soursmoker]

Its always a good feeling finding some hidden beans in some dank pot... even better when you know it wasn't another strain in the room the herm'd. (aLthough that isn't ALWAYS a bad thing)

 

[dank.frank]

So, I'm trimming up the last two plants today - and I always like to puff a few of the lower larf flowers while trimming the plant. I've always considered it getting to know the girl I'm handling.

And...I have to say - I think I messed up. I was really afraid of this.

I've re-vegged some NICE plants - but I MISSED what I would now call the actual "Brotherhood OG" type pheno.

These phenos take LONGER to flower - they are 10-11wk phenos. Have about 2x stretch - so not the tallest and not the shortest of the pheno range. They have VERY airy flowers at the bottom of the plant - not really worthy keeping on - I should have trimmed them away a bit more. The flowers form thinner along the main stem - making more spears - than say the chunkier, more "nugget" style buds I have pictured thus far....

The smell - not as apparent in flower - but when dry and curing really comes to life. Again, for those familiar with Sour Diesel - take the "sour" aspect of that and pair it with a sweet ginger / orange glaze - and whiffs of classic old school rank skunk. THIS rank skunk aspect is what is missing in the phenos I kept and re-vegged..

#8 - is some what like these in that it is a more Happy Brother plant - but it is missing the rank skunk funk that it's siblings have dried with...

But I puffed on #2 - and wow - the effect on it is EVERYTHING #4 is but stronger and it has the stand out flavor of the #8 - but with more OG funk in the mix.

I didn't keep the best plant in the mix - and really don't know I even got pictures of it. These phenos tend to make a thicker foxtail at the very top of the larger flowers. They stack a 4-6 calyx wide "tail" that is about 1/2"-3/4" long.

I did let plants 1,2,3,5 go 10wks. And I 1 and 2 could have gone 11 wks and would have filled in a bit more. I'm a bit bummed that #2 was over looked and not selected to re-veg.

I'll get some dried shots of these girls as I'm still trimming them - I've found one seed in #2 so far - so that has me some one appeased...

I do believe I will keep this thread going - continue showing the plants that DID re-veg - and will at some point start the few seeds that have been found and document those as well.

I did find some small open nanners on plant #5. It was a more short stocky 10wk OG type pheno. Not really a lot of flavor/smell from either parent - and a bit more generic high...not as standout. Plants #3 and #5 were both this type of pheno - the shortest in the group - with buds very similar to #4 but that tended to crown out a bit more late in flower. (think of the points on a crown) HOWEVER - these plants are still very frosty - eat a bit heavier - and were the heaviest yielding. Even though they were the shortest and did not stretch but maybe 1.5x - they were also the floppiest ala OG type of stem flop...

If the seeds made did in fact come from #5 - then it does give me some what of an idea what to expect plant by plant the potential results. I'm most curious to see what #5 x #8 will be like, assuming that is what has happened.

Sorry for the rambling update - but I want to try and help others who have purchased these seeds really identify what the BEST keepers are SMOKE wise - and truly what I'd call the "Brotherhood OG" expressions in the line...

Okay ... I lied. #2 Is exactly as I described - but the effect doesn't last. A day of smoking the #2 and the effects are down to 35-45 minutes at best and then I'm craving another bowl. The #4 even after nearly two weeks of sampling - I still have not built any sort of tolerance to it. The effect is still strong for 1.5-2 hrs and still really hits the spot for me...

So...there is some certain pheno variation in these seeds - I really saw 4 distinct expressions - all which have been described fairly thoroughly in the thread. I think the "keeper" will really come down to your smoking preferences.

#7 - the cherry / chai / green tea pheno - is the odd ball out for me in regards to the other phenos. I'm not fully sure where this expression came from.

And just so it is not a bunch of rambling:

Brotherhood OG #2

I broke the foxtail off this main flower...oops.

[Treetroit City]

Funny, I didn't get any spearhead shaped buds at all on my testers. All were domed.

 

[dank.frank]

3rd - Difference in feeding programs and environment I'd suppose. But, ALL these ladies flowers when trimmed down, had fatter bottoms coming into a small little foxtailed tip.

Here is some Brotherhood OG QWISO - used 8.6g trim to 1/4c 91% ISO - got about 2g totaled - less than half is pictured.

If this is not seriously worked (warmed) by hand, it is still full shatter if dropped cold...

And on the MORE good news side of things. #8 is fully re-vegged. By this time next week I'll be taking cuts! #4 is coming around and is starting to throwing its first real shoots - so looks like she is going to make it!!!

I agree the Pheno I got dose not look like the ones either of you got. I just harvested a small keeper pheno.. I was out of her so I ran a small one while I let the other veg much longer. I will keep her around until I find one better.

 

[Treetroit City]

Congrats on the POTM win.

 

[soursmoker]

frank how long do you let the iso touch the trim for?

 

[dank.frank]

Thanks 3rd!

Sour - About 60 seconds total with a bit of light shaking. I haven't gotten a batch to turn out that nice since...lol. Was a lucky batch I guess, especially for ISO it seems.

Well, on the Brotherhood OG front:

#4, #7, #8 remain. #4 and #8 are getting roots on the first batch of clones, while #7 is taking a bit longer to re-veg and grow out of it...

I think #4 will be bred for a personal project then discarded - MAYBE - not sure. She may stick around...she is really good smoke - it's between her and #7.

#7 is like a cherry OG, basically. Very sticky, very funky and some how retains a classic OG funk in the taste - oh, and she's potent! Tends to make people feel flush / warm...

#8 Is not likely to stick around. I don't think I got a very solid run of her the first time, so my opinion could change but she is mostly flavor. And it is very unusual flavor - that sweet / sour orange is quite impressive. I'm not sure...

I certainly needed to run these 3 girls again....was not really expecting to find this many worthy of repeat appearances, but I won't complain. The more the merrier!

The Brotherhood OG show will continue before too much longer - this thread is not dead!

[Karma Genetics]

Yeah The Brotherhood defantly aint a fully stable Hyrbid, Pheno's jump all over the place, but she does give some funky freaky girls, Differnt folks diifernt strokes, I found one that was a great smelly tropical OG type,

They are a lot of fun to grow, as mine where mostly same sized, and easy to grow. I think these are great for the adventure grower beginners to experts.





PS frank you ROCK roots, looking forward to your second run, will show what she does for real.

 

[nickman]

I think that u have a great idea about keeping this thread open for everyone to look through... As I still have my pack of brotherhoods and it'll be another couple months before I pop them... I like the idea of pheno searching before I even try to grow it ... If u understand what I'm says...

 

[Karma Genetics]

I got 100's of packs almost ready of these, these will be in stock for a while ha ha ha....

 

[nickman]

That's definitely good to know...

 

[Hammerhead]

I love my BHOG. I have not seen another like her..I probably never will.

 

[soursmoker]

so what's up with these Karma? will we see these at the bay any time soon?
