Giesel by Proper

~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

My buddy had some pre-rolls from Proper so we smoked one of them. He selected a strain called Giesel, which neither of us knew. He had "day time" written on the pre-roll container so someone must have suggested to him that it was a sativa or sativa-leaning. I didn't find that to be the case but I did enjoy the thrumming, energy behind-my-eyelids effects.

Judging just by the name, I would have thought Giesel had something to do with Sour Diesel. This is not the case! The lineage of Giesel is quite succinct, as compact a lineage degustation as you will find. According to seedfinder.eu (link here), Giesel is a Chem D cross done by the apocryphal Chemdog himself...

Jack Herer by Rythm

1. Drop

That Jack Herer is strong. Taste was peppery, earthy. This was Rythm flower from Illinois, a short thin joint of it. Smoked a half or two-thirds of it. Sometimes I relight the stubs, the "roaches," but not usually. It feels like a waste but no more so than not completely clearing a bowl before dumping it out because I want to start fresh.

Jack Herer is a sativa derived from a mix of classic strains including Northern Lights, Skunk, and Haze. These classics themselves are derived from a cornucopia of landrace strains spanning the globe from Afghanistan to Mexico, from Colombia to Hawaii. If there is a field guide to marijuana strains, I'd like to get a copy.

I've heard Jack Herer called a wake and bake strain. All good but I rarely smoke before noon—not usually until the five o'clock hour. In this old mid-Missouri farmhouse I'm in, I hear scratching, maybe a rat behind the wall. Looking out the kitchen door I see a five-lined skink, typified by that electric blue tail. My solar shower is out there in the sun getting hot. Wow, this Jack...
