Yeah well since BOG created that varietal he has access to a cut or cuts selected from popping a lot of beans and working with the genetics. Buy the beans yet you still have to look through them to find THAT keeper he is talking about. If you think EVERY Sour Bubble female is that righteous then dream on.
. Same cut in different hands will produce a range of quality.I really like E18 and just about everyone that got some liked it. Was one of those crowd favorites. It can easily pass for indoor. GREAT smell, solid high type/potency yet the flavor a bit bland. I didn't think is was AAA type stuff yet definitely stands above the crowd. It's a MONSTER yielder, very vigorous/hardy and super easy to trim. Attempting to remember what's in it and think Nepalese, Trainwreck and Green Crack. I used to get mine from the guy that created it. E stands for, well that's a secret of sorts, and the 18 I believe is it was #18 out of 100 beans he popped and grew.
Cool to see it getting a good review
If you're in that area and getting some E18 keep your eye out for Good Knight/Night which is a cross of Good Times(a select cut of Vanilla Kush) and Blue Knight/Night. Not many people holding it. AWESOME stuff! One day they'll release the cut right now it's VERY tightly held. When it first came out last harvest, or harvest before last as I've lost track, I couldn't even score an elbow as it was all presold for top dollar. I was comped an oz though and some of the better outdoor I've seen aside from the tried and true elite cuts. I think it was like $2400 right when stuff started to hit the market from the harvest.
I think you're closer on the E18 genetics and probably it. Definitely NOT Blue Dragon and probably Blue Night cause I don't remember seeing or hearing about Blue Dragon in the hills where E18 hails from. Blue Dragon? Maybe Blue Dragon is the basis for Blue Night? Gawd Blue Dragon rings a bell. Still think it's Blue Night in E18 though. I really don't think there is 'something else' in that mix. So I'd think Green Crack, Trainwreck, Nepalese and Blue Night. BN can be some awesome stuff. Awful structure unless picked just right. Makes the absolute best hash I've ever come across. Bought a few elbows of BN sift and...smelled and tasted like heaven
. Abja Roots here on IC got a few samples of the BN sift from me. Purple Nepal? Well at least we agree it was Nepalese and don't think Purple Nepal. I just remember Nepalese. Could have been purple though. I think you're closer on the E18 genetics and probably it.

Good Night REALLY rocks and hopefully you come across some. An old friend of mine is brothers with the peeps that created it. Even he couldn't get a cut lol. I know the guys that created Good Night and dealt with them some. I gave Smoke Trees here on IC a sample of GN. The sample got beat up a bit. He still gave it a thumbs up and coming from Smoke Trees that's saying something.
Have you ever run across Good Times? If you have then we know at least know THAT circle.
Can't you smell the Trainwreck in E18?
Good Times was always at the high end of the price scale...at least that's what I found.
Hey if you're in that area then look out for some Pineapple Trainwreck. I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Originally I was told it was Shiva Skunk. Pretty sure it was PTW. One of the better varietals on the hill IMO. A little looser structure yet had the rest of the package. I never hesitated to pay up for that stuff. I think they just called it Pineapple Wreck. Definitely more top shelf than E18 and I preferred the smoke. E18 was easier to deal with in many ways. It shipped GREAT
and lovely looking nuggets. I was told the PTW also came from the same crew that created GN. Supposedly someone came through and snagged a few cuts 'without permission' from a field and it spread.
Good Times is a select cut of Vanilla Kush. At least that's what I was told and sure looked like the pictures of it I've seen online and sure smelled like vanilla. I didn't get any GC or Afwreck type smells at all. I also don't think it's as good as they make it out to be yet still very good bud and better than a lot of other stuff I've seen from around there. The Good Night really stands out. If you can get your hands on that I think you'll be very pleased. does seem to be the best of both varietals. I agree with the guerrilla mentality thing. Most of the gardens I saw looked pretty pathetic. I had to pick through a lot of stuff, typically around the same price, to find something worth what they were asking. A lot of garbage. Mendo was a different story. Just about everybody I ran across seemed to be on their game and the price wasn't that much higher once the market settled down. Really was like night and day between the two areas.

Also it has to do with how good the grower is
C'mon...duhhh! Post 289 by BOG talking about him getting $480 a zip for HIS Sour Bubble almost like ALL SB is that good. Get real. The response you quoted of mine was in response to your post #291. Sure sounded like marketing to me. How I feel, and actually only a hypothesis (educated guess), is that the SB cut Bog grows is only in his hands.
So when you're talking a 'med card' are you talking getting elbows at that price from a club? I haven't had my card in over 5 years and haven't been in a club since about 2005 when I went into Berkeley Patients Group.
No clubs would sell a unit in the first place. The prices are if you can find a grower like on Craigslist. That also would be indoor prices. I currently pay $2000 a unit but have been paying $2400. I see people still pushing last years outdoor for over $100 a ounce.
Thanks PAL
