Very little stretch on all 3 of mine. First one was just tested today. Not much smell, but frosty, sticky, dense, and the high is pretty stout. Cant comment on yield as mine didnt like me either when it first started flowering.

Nice. How’s the taste? Mine has very strong smell of true banana when cut on, hardly any smell otherwise. Kinda sour banana like unripened banana.

Appalachian Pine: Really nice stuff. so I can see why it grows the way it does now, smaller, compact bush shape, tight noding and hardly any stretch to it. Takes the nice spear head shaped buds from the ASS momma, and the Xmas tree bud daddy really tightens things up. Super easy growing, didnt really encounter any issues or complaints from her. one plant smelled a little bit like ASS (which isnt actually all that skunky) and had a bit of pine duff smell. The other one has a more pronounced pine cleaner/lemon cleaner smell. I believe that is the one I prefer. Nice stone that you can feel inside your face, good for relaxing but not a total daywrecker. I believe I went 10.5 weeks or so with these ladies. I will try to get some nug shots up later, and I'll also try to write up a more formal grow/smoke report. On deck, we got : OCxCD, Dank Sinatra F2, Apollo 11 F4.

Here’s a few more week 5 of flower BBnC shots from this evening. I’m a little bias towards the living soil plant I think.



I’m thinking I’m gonna have a nice haul. Plant smells like freaking artificial blueberries mixed with like paint thinner and sugar. It’s super bizarre but addicting to smell. I’m definitely excited about these girls. They were born April 15th. Definitely put time into them.

When ground up smelling like piney citrusy banana bit still faint. I get a lot of pine on the inhale personally. Realllllyyyyyyy smooth though, and great high. Maybe more smells on the other 2 I have going.

Couple shots of a one of the nugs.

Well guys a I did a thing today and cleared more room for the tranquils. I found two balls on the banana og which didn’t surprise me much. I put her through hell and back and I kinda expected it to be honest. Are OGs more prone to Hermie? Haven’t even flipped to 12/12 yet but dropped to 16/8 couple days ago. Was 6 weeks old. She just never liked what I was doing but the two tranquils are thriving!

Eh, I wouldn't say that the entire OG line is prone for herming, but I have noticed they are less forgiving like a kush would be.

huh, I wonder if the Christmas tree is masking the smell with all the pinene; the ASS x BoO combo I have rolling has a very distinctive musky skunkiness too it. Hey @Useful Seeds, was the same mama used to make the Appalacian Orange as well as the Appalachian Pine?

I'm not speaking from growing out this, I'm speaking from having grown out ASS itself. My favorite pheno was very lemony. Useful also has mentioned before that he was given a cut of ASS, so i'm pretty sure its the same one.

Oh I gotcha, I misunderstood. Ive always been curious about original cuts, I've never grown one before. I wonder if the myths are true about those legends ya know?

Here’s some updates pics of Useful’s Blueberries ‘N Chocolate:




Born 4/15, beginning of 5th flower week. Crazy smell, great resilience, and a pleasure to grow as yet

I really can't wait to run a couple of Useful strains. I'm hoping by the end of this next month I have my LED lights built to start my new set-up.

Just here to show...GG4xCD... Have a great day all!!!

Schwaggy mentions a lime kinda musk skunk on the ASS, I believe.

Useful seeds is a real standup guy/woman. After hearing about the germ issues I had with the double dipped strawberries, useful got a hold of me and sent me two packs of replacements. That's pretty generous. One would've been generous tbh, as germ rates are a natural part of seed poppin imo. But the extra pack just made my day. Thank you thank you @Useful Seeds, you're awesome.

its all good I could of been a lot clearer originally. It was a pretty good plant, I still have some I keep for myself, but im not in a rush to grow it out again. doesnt quite have the power hit and bag appeal that a lot of my people like. also was like my 3rd grow, so maybe if i grew better or had different phenos it may be different. I did really like the lemon one i found, citrus musk. It was a good smoke for doing something like mowing the lawn.

I wouldnt at all be suprised by that, its not decidedly lemon, just a sour citrus smell.


either way, gonna let the Appalachian Pine cure out for a while and see how it goes!

@Featherartist and whoever else has ran the Banana OG, what’s the stretch like? Here’s the girl that don’t like me, I’ve been harassing her a bit and cut some fans off her this morning, not the first time. Gonna flip switch soon. How long should I wait after the defol? Banana OG

Mine stretched about a foot. Leaves never faded at all, even during 2 week flush. My buds were the biggest we have had thus far! Mine grew straight up, not bushy at all. Can't pop another bean until mid October and it will probably be another BOG...BOO will still have to wait!

I can really taste banana but that is on a vapor brothers! Love going back and forth with OCCD and BOG! Bananas and oranges! OCCD is really good on brownies too. I'm getting hangry just thinking about it!
