Guys I keep reading disappointing threads about the hgk. The positive threads I have seen came from people who purchased their meds from dispensaries. I have not seen anyone grow her from seed yet with any positive feedback. There are so many of us on RIU, someone please shed some light on this disheartening info I have been reading about hgk. I just can't fathom how a bullshit strain could come from a cross of kosher and the 18. The just baffles the piss out of me. I got 6 female beans waiting right now to be popped.

First time going........5 stains going and one is the HGK from DNA about 3 weeks in the veg and already smells the rest do not except super lemon haze but its more faint. It's among the tallest of the strains, just second to cotton candy but just by a hair. But like I said just 3 weeks in veg, excited to learn more about this strain.

Guys that's what I'm looking for. Fellow growers who like to share info about their strains. Let's keep the info flowing about the hgk. So eventually people can come to this thread and find out any info about the holy grail.

Hello mate,
i buyed 2 seeds from pickandmix like 4 month ago,i popped up one of these,and i'm completed satisfied,perfect vigorous plant easy to grow for me,i suggest to topped her also from seed,because she stretch a lot,would like to see the kosher pheno,this one smell similiar to og18 so i think is og18 pheno,anyway i'm not a kush smell expert =) she is a great yielder,i growed it at the corner of the tend under 2x400w hps and adjust a wing,nugs are really resinous,stinky and compact,waiting some days to smoke/vape and test it....forgot all the haters i had great grows with DNA/Reserva Privada,their strains help me a lot for my health problems NEVER find an hermie with their fems,i'm only lucky?i think not,their Recon is one of my favorite strain,awesome yielder of lemony hazy LA Conf AAA+ nugs,now i'm growing from them Sleestack,Sleestack X Skunk,Recon,Sour Kush......

Peace

I have done DNA's Holy Grail Kush, and have some pics from the grow, and can describe the smoke of it. So, ahhhhhhhhh, here we go.

This plant is a pain in the ass from the get go. I had a 6/6 germination ratio, but 2 of the 6 were straight up mutants/runts and died within a few days. Let me stress that this NEVER happens with me, so I know it is a genetic attribute.

The quality isn't anything worth calling the "Holy Grail", if anything, they should have named Kosher Kush "The Holy Grail" because Kosher is the best selection I've had from them so far. But anyway, on with the holy grail. The hardiness could be improved a lot, and this strain definitely isn't for the novice grower. Not completely knocking the herb, it is definitely good kush, Probably 18% or so THC, Not high on the CBD levels which I am not too happy with. CBD is my preferred cannabinoid.

Anywho, the smoke is as you would expect from any kush variety. Nice musty, earthy, funky kushy flavor. The effect is more on the cerebral side, and definitely more sativa-dominant, which is something else I don't like about this strain. When I think of Kush strains, I think of indica dominant, short, stout, knock you on your ass medicine. This is the opposite. It is stretchy, and the effect is quite energetic. The only "Kush" attributes to the plant are the obvious fat kush-shaped leaves, and the buds don't branch out, they stay right on the main cola (as does most kush).

On with the pictures. I would give this herb an overall 7.5/10. If it weren't for the difficulty, I might bump it up to an 8. But this strain is definitely not what it is hyped up to be. If you want one of the world's best kush strains, order Kosher Kush! I can't stress that enough! (By the way, Kosher was used in the Holy Grail cross!)

Harvested one HGK and have 5 others a week away. The harvested bud has been in jar for only a week. Organic soil under 1000 watt HPS yielded 63 grams dry. Bud is covered in trichs and smells earthy, like sandalwood. The bud as it smokes now, has a hash like finish. Bag appeal is 8 out of 10. I have found the buzz to cerebral when in task mode and body-oriented when I am getting high with wife. I favor sativas and I find the buzz to be 60% sativaish and 40% indicaish. I give the high an 8.5/10. FYI - one plant finished 14 days before the others. 2012_09_20_1702.jpg

It's honestly just a decent Kush. Nothing too special in my opinion. Not bad, but nothing that I would grow for myself. The aroma was nice, kind of woody or musty, like an old barn covered in moss. The bag appeal is good but aesthetically it leaves something to be desired over more frosty white strains. I only grow and smoke Indicas for myself, though, so I might be biased. If I want a head high, I want a soaring head high, and the stuff I smoked was just middling. Then again, I find OG Kush #18 to be the most overrated cannabis on the planet, so take that for what you will. If you like OG Kush you'll probably like this a lot more, I would suspect.
