Florida Jack by Grow Sciences

~ johnbrandall ~ Leave a comment

There’s some carry on that Florida Jack. Early on, it was a weeper. Let it flow. I welcome and appreciate any time cannabis makes me emotional. It’s part of the process. It’s part of the high. You have to be ready for it, especially if there are things on your mind worth crying about, worth getting out. Weed can be a very direct, effective, expeditious form of therapy.

I was emotional, but in a happy, satisfied, head-on kind of way. After that, I thought the effect of smoking Florida Jack was fading.

Then the effects unfurled their second act. This is an example of why I need to give each joint enough time to do it’s thing. And why I shouldn’t drink so damned much, ever—but especially when I’m trying to size up a new strain.

I suddenly found myself with nowhere I had to be. No company coming over. Nothing on the to-do list. Time was passing but I had a notebook and a pen and I was sitting on the edge of a hand-me-down twin bed in the back bedroom of this house my in-laws bought ten years ago in the desert. I was writing lyrics to a song no one was ever going to hear, not until now.

Eventually the Florida Jack yields a latent buzz, a pleasant buzz.

Talent neat nettle.

Mettle a molten lantern, this rental’s eternal...

Rainbow Chip by CAMP

Creamy, doughy taste. Is that the Sherb? This is my third or fourth bowl of it. Not today. Over the last week or two.

The first bowl gave me a splendid head rush that could've derailed me into a ditch, it had that sort of power, force, flash flood effect. Strong, sudden, unpredictable.

Bred by Exotic Genetix, Rainbow Chip is a classic strain. The parents are Sunset Sherb and Mint Chocolate Chip, source: click here. Through the Mint Chocolate Chip, you get some Trainwreck in the lineage, which is part of what drew me to the strain. I've been curious about Trainwreck for a couple years, ever since I started digging into lineages. You rarely evensee Trainwreck as a stand-alone strain so I seek it out as a parent or grandparent. It's a mythical, apocryphal ancestor.

I've also been warming up to the Sherb family of strains. One of my favorite strains of last year was Bacio 91 from Fig Farms in Illinois. Then there was the Butterscotch Bacio I had first in New Mexico and then in Arizona. Both were excellent, and eye opening. I have strain reviews on this blog for both (click here, and here)...

Reflected OG Wreck

I am glad to be awake and reading poems but it is very, very late. 00:22. Midnight twenty-three. Humidifier pumping. Popping and steaming and wheezing. That is another train, perfect timing.

Midnight twenty-four. At least I am awake and reading poems, putting pen to paper. I smoked a joint of OG Wreck earlier. I've had drinks tonight, nothing drastic or out of the norm. Slow-rolling for sure. I did not think I'd be awake this long.

I took a nap; how long was I asleep? I did not want to wake up. I was really out of it. But at the same time I had a voice saying, Get up, John! I did not take too long a nap but I still managed to have an intense unconscious experience. That's ideal. Maybe that's how, why I'm still awake,

Of all the strains I've got and of all the ones I've recently had, which do not have Chemdawg and/or OG Kush as part of their lineage? I'm guessing not many. This is eye-opening. I want to come up with a list, a menu of weed strains to to try showcasing the widest possible array of genetics. It can be done.

For instance, Blue Dream, comprised of Super Silver Haze and Blueberry. Super Silver Haze is all landrace, as is Blueberry. Lemon Skunk doesn't have any Chemdawg or OG Kush in its lineage.


Full post and a nascent list of strains without either Chemdawg or OG Kush...

Strain Review: Trainwreck

The writer recounts their trip through parts of the U.S., noting the beautiful landscapes they have driven through and the cannabis strain, Trainwreck, they've tried from New Mexico. The strain, bought at $22 for two grams, provides a unique, enjoyable high suitable for chilling and writing, though the heritage of the strain remains uncertain...
