The Berry (aka Berry Manilow)

Original OG x Old School Skunk
Bred in 2009 - WNY
Genotype Tested in 2017

This is my baby. I've kept her around for 15 years because it has been my absolute favorite smoke for so long.

It's mostly OG Kush genetics, crossed with an unknown version of skunk. The genotype test shows (in descending order) OG Kush, Skunk, CBD, Hemp, and a small amount of Landrace. It grows tall and lanky like a sativa, with spaced out monster nugs that are super dense. She has an overwhelming essence of lemon pledge fuel, with berry overtones. Very skunky as well, you can smell her down the street during flowering. It's intoxicating, and the taste lasts forever. One of those that tastes good all the way at the end of the bowl or joint. I've spoiled so many of my friends with this, once they try it, they always tell me it's hard for them to smoke anything else haha. I feel the same way.

It takes 9-10 weeks depending on growing style. We've owned an HPLC for in-house testing for the past 2 years and she has repeatedly hit mid 20s-low 30%, with the highest hitting 31.1% thc at 9-10 weeks. She has tested around 30% 6 times already. The thc doesn't really matter to me, but it's cool to see some numbers after all these years confirming what I already knew. She's strong and delicious, and that's what matters. She has saved my life in more ways than one. Great for ptsd, depression, pain, you name it. She is a miracle. It's been really cool to test throughout the finishing to see the best time for harvest. Generally she has been peaking at the 9 week mark, after that the only increase is in CBC & CBG with the thc leveling off. High terpenes as well usually over 3%, but will be taking it to the state lab soon and get a full terpene profile.

She has been kept in the family for all these years, with only 4 other people ever growing her with me. I've been a long time lurker on some of these forums over the years, but always kept everything extremely private. Since legalization here, I've decided that it's time to come out from the shadows.

She dumps trichromes for hash. The bubble tests around 50%, but I just tested the latest run of live bubble hash and it was 67%. Her live resin & diamonds tested between 93 & 97%.

The first photos are grown in aeroponics as that's our most recent setup. Before that we were running DWC hydro. Before that was coco using both salts and organic inputs, all under LEDS. Before that, it was super red HPS running organic soil & nutrients. She performs well in all environments. Have yet to see her pop any male flowers ever. One of the most vigorous and best growing plants that I've seen.

Berry finishing up this round. Grown in aeroponics. Can definitely see the old school skunk influence. The plants give off a skunky smell from a distance but it has a sweet, stinky lemon flavor from the OG genetics.
