That's likely as accurate as you will get given the sketchy history of Humboldt genetics.
Yeah I guess lol. I didn’t realize they were so secretive. Any ideas? I swear there’s some skunk and funk in my Hella Jellies. Curious about what good stuff could be hiding in that lineage.

That’s odd… one of mine is like a skunk, not anything like skunk from back in the day but like a similar profile. Not sweet but sorta that sharp pungent skunky…..

ok I took a minute to dig my nose into this one… it smells like gas. Not like diesel and not the burnt rubber or oil smell common in SD and kushes etc… it’s more like fresh gas. The high FEELS like I remember skunk (aka RKS) feeling. It feels extremely potent and lasts a long time. The other pheno I don’t have a good profile on because it probably should’ve gone another week or two but her sister was nice and ripe…where is this going…anyway this pheno is not sweet but does have that nostril flaring gasoline smell and feel in the nose.

Come to think of it… my All Gas OG is nothing like what i’ve read either… it was motor oil and lemon while growing…now it’s nag champa incense burning sage and clove. When you light it…everyone knows exactly what strain you’re smokin lol. It’s crazy. But I wonder if it’s that I lucked out or if using organics has anything to do with it?

I've seen that in my Afghan Kush and Bubba Kush grows. It never caused me any problems except for the affected light colored leaves getting burned up by the light at some point. I think it's just a weird genetic trait.


Here's an old picture of my Afghan Kush doing that. 1673233628283.png

Maybe calcium issue in part due to LED’s. I don’t remember exactly what was causing it but I believe it was related to the “ram horn” issue…where one mobile nutrient still makes it’s way to where it’s needed but the calcium is only there in parts. Would have to dig more into it but seems to be a common issue under LED compared to IR heavy HID’s.

12 days into flower with these Humboldt Seed Company gals. Clockwise from back left...
OG Kush, Purple Panty Dropper, Trainwreck, and Don Carlos. The PPD was a pleasure to train even though it's outgrown it's quadrant of the screen. I guess I'll start letting it grow up. The pheno of the OG Kush I have has a terrible structure. It was very hard to train, lots of supercropping. Anyway, they are doing good.

I am doing four strains indoors, and the only one that sucks and looks brittle and cannot handle light like the other strains is Humboldt seed co's Emerald Fire Og. Trash strain compared to the strains I ordered from other companies. They have a terrible reputation in Humbold county and I did not find this out until i reached out to other growers about how bad these were performing compared to my strains from another source
I’ve got nothing but trichome covered tasty great smelling buds from HSC. What exactly would you recommend that you consider better?

Good to know.. the emerald fire is brittle and burning under 600 watts at three and four feet, while other strains are green and loving the same treatment.
Could be a number of things… usually different strains will require different nutrients and/or environment to a degree, some are more drastic than others. It’s possible that it’s deficient of something and can’t handle the light. This is not a sign of a bad breeder…or a bad strain…it’s a sign of a problem within the growing conditions. Genetics don’t cause light and heat stress. You need to figure out what is lacking in the nutrients, PH, etc… and adjust to get it healthy like the others.

It baffles my mind that you would go start bashing a breeder after failing to recognize that your own inadequacies are causing your problems. Please do not reproduce.

This was my collie man kush from last years outdoor. This plant was ridiculous, my longest flowering longest stretching last to come down. She was kind of a pain in the ass. But she was hearty and resistant to bugs and cold. She went into november through a few light frost. When the rest of my plants were stacking She just kept stretching and stretching. 8 ft ceiling. When she finally did fill out she put out bats of dense nugs.

The nugs and smoke itself is a little different from the other phenos ive read about on here. There is no sour or gas on this one. Very sweet earthy kush initially and it does break up into a pretty loud coffee skunk profile. Its a decent smoke, pretty heavy and hard hitting. Ill run another this year, plant later and top often, hoping for a sour gas pheno.

I almost bought it recently, hella interested in trying it. Sounds and looks amazing
I’ve read a couple good things about it. I have Pistachio, Strawberry Cheesecake and Humboldt Sour Diesel on deck…but also 3 seeds from a bag of the Blue Magoo cut, and that was phenomenal and tasty as hell. Decisions decisions lol. Pistachio will be on the next grow for sure though.

I’m honestly very interested in the Humboldt Sour D. Wondering if it’s any good. Keep us posted
