Hi Piff!
Good eye noticing the size of the gland heads. They actually fall between the mother and father in most cases. oBoy gland heads were smaller. The oBoy is a "wet" resin if you know what I mean, but there is variety among the hybrids on this trait. The hybrids are not "wet" resin like the haze. Somewhere in between. I associate small gland heads with sativa/haze and think it contributes to the "silver" look to some strains.

Slip Kid's cuts crossed with the oBoy really gave a great foundation. Balancing the strong sativa. All the crosses are unique but awesome.
The oBoy male consistently carried several traits with it into the crosses.

BigHerb would love these crosses (and the oBoy male in general) because it adds a sweet incense taste and smell to everything I crossed it with.
The sweet incense taste is there, but it does NOT overpower, and allows the mother plant taste to come through in the combination. I can clearly taste the mothers and feel distinct differences in effects between them.
It does not have the strong pine influence that some MNS hazes are dominated by (I think that comes from the heavy NL5 influence.) Not knocking them, just commenting on taste.

The common effects are:
Sweet incense smell and taste. GREAT tastes :-)
High potency
Trippy, psychedelic high, but uplifting, energetic, and goofy/happy

The high from these crosses is the closest thing I have found to my own personal "medicine."

I don't want to go much further, at the risk of making my smoke reports redundant ;-)

Nice one mate you answered my question perfectly.

I know what you mean about haze adding a certain je ne sais quoi to the high of a heavy strain. It's almost like it makes the high more pleasant and happy.

It's nice to hear your male breeds true for the incense trait. Sounds like you have a gem there for sure. Is there any cat piss aroma or citrus or just pure spice?

Peace

No catpiss PRJ. Sweet fuely incense is consisten through the crosses. The specific sweet tastes vary between crosses.

Sorry I have let this go idle. I need to take the dried bud pics before I post smoke reports.

I have a stash of old catpiss hybrid seeds from NorCal I need to run some time. My next run is likely to be all indicas and kushes, but I also need to do an F2 run from the beans Slip and I made now that the male has proven himself. There weren't that many of them and all the crosses were contenders for "best smoke I have ever had."

I had a smoke of the Mullum Super 5 yesterday when I was closing up shop.I'd been smoking various diff buds over the day and this one was a ripper.Smells like my Nevilles but it makes me hungry but it could have been the end of the day etc.I sat down on the bed after 12 hrs in the shop, ate 21 granola bars and watched 3 episodes of Gunsmoke, then woke up at 2am like clockwork. I'll test it out again for my first smoke today in about 15 min.

Great job with those, Raho!!

I have to go back and drool harder, but I like the look of the sour dom cross & the dainty pistils on the mullim crosses.

Thanks for posting Barletta
Great to hear from you amigo!
Loving your backyard light dep thread.

Guess I better post up some smoke reports.
Still haven't taken my "Glamor Shots" pics of the dried flowers.
I do have some OK pics from when I put them in the jar.

The tastes and smells came on strong after 2 weeks in the jar, but the effects were still evolving.
Some of the girls showed major changes changes at week 3.
The Mullum S5 changed the most.

I think I'll put up the week 2 reports, then come in with the week 3 and later updates.

I'd wager that in 6 mo. the smoke changes for the better, so be prepared to file a couple of reports!

Hi HL,
You are right on :-)
Problem is, I doubt some of these jars will last that long.
The reason is these guys:


Calling it "Kings Row" now. (pic was taken right after up-potting so they are droopy.) These horny teenagers seeded the hell out of the crop :-)

9 plants, 1.5-2 oz per plant. The problem is a lot of that weight was seeds. I have been pulling out at least 2 big fat beans for every hit, usually more like 6.

I am keeping the seeds separate by the mother. Great for picking a keeper, but there will be real diversity in them.

I made a mistake bumping the males with both rooms open, but I have to admit, it's great having this many beans where I know all the parents are FIRE, even if they are all mixed hybrids.

Next post with some descriptions coming now

So these are my notes from 2 weeks in the jar.

BigHerb would love oBoy
All oBoy crosses have full on incense smell and taste.

oBoy combined nicely with the variety of mothers producing smells from bubblegum and berries to sweet juniper and sweet lemon pine, all softened by a creamy hash incense smell in flowers that are coated with heavy concentrations of glands with large gland heads.
Clearly potent, the high starts off with a headrush, (medium expansion, dark) but it's still creapin, coming on stronger over 5-10 minutes. As a common element in all crosses, it consistently adds a clear trippy sativa effect, with visual effects and a goofy happy spirit. You can do things on this, but sitting around thinking about doing things is what happens more often :-)



Individual breakdown of the crosses:
The Chem4 cross has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and a great taste. Muscle pain is gone in a flash. It actually makes my teeth numb. Similar head to the sour below. Not sure if it lasts as long. More testing needed :-)


The ECSD hybrid is where the berry/bubblegum tastes can come be found. The sour is still there, but the oBoy incense replaced some of the sour bite. This is the general purpose rock and roll oBoy hybrid. Good for parties, good for work, good for sleep. Tastes great, feels great.


MK19 (my select sativa kush girl from 20 MNS Masterkush) . . . this plant is a miracle. The high of this MK pheno was already the most uplifting, functional sativa hash in my quiver. Combining this with oBoy keeps all the good of the MK and brings tripiness and goofiness potency and resin production. In addition to the "party time" aspect of the high, the parents also combine into something greater than the sum of the parts with a diverse combination of medical effects. Anti-anxiety, muscle relaxation, some analgesic, it is like a wellness tonic that hits a lot of my buttons in a single puff. The taste of the MK momma was good, a 10 week plant with distinctive juniper hash taste. Good, but it could have been better. Combining it with the oBoy, the sweet incense balanced/combined with the juniper hash of the MK to make something great. One thing I am particularly happy about is getting to mix outside genetics with one of Shanti's lesser known gems. I have seen lots of pics of Shanti's Master Kaze. You know how a lot of MNS gear can start to look the same, maybe because of all the skunk everywhere? Well this is completely different :-)


BikerKush is taking a bit longer to dry because of her density. Because of this, the tastes are still coming in. I am detecting a very old afghan taste in there. Hope it keeps coming in. NICE :-) She is definitely very potent, but that too is increasing. I am finding these OG hybrids to have a "stun" effect. Instead of sitting there with mind drifting from thought to thought like a good sativa, or sedated and sleepy like a hashplant, they give you a big headrush and then leave you kind of stunned, sitting there slack-jawed. Mental flat line. I smoked 2 hits of it this morning and I am having to fight it a bit to get things done. Energy is there, just scattered. Unfocussed. Anyway, I am still evaluating this :-)


I love all the oBoy crosses, but that's not all I grew. Details on the other girls:

C5LN2 I have only done one hit of this. Looks and smells amazing . . . No 2 week test, soon come brah :-)

The Nev21 eMM has just a sweet delicious taste. Great upbeat clear mental high too. Soaring Euphoria. Fantastic.

Mullum S5 at 2 weeks seems like a super spicy NL hybrid, if it didn't take 14 + weeks to mature, you might think it was a giant indica.
Extreme potency and a unique taste, a weird combo of head and body effect. I have not smoked enough of this to get it figured out yet.
It has a strong baby poo spell, if the baby was a dinosaur. There is a foul stink that comes off of it. I realized at this point that this particular plant has combined the giant tropical mullum with the Super5 to make a "rotting mango" smell. It's kinda hard to explain. It seems a bit like OG in the "up" effect, but less "zoomy." Honestly, this is what I would expect golden triangle weed to look and smoke like. Somewhere up in Burma or something. Not sure if the male will show more sativa than the female.
