Crop King Seeds

Easy to grow. A bit too leafy for my liking. It was a pain to trim. Nice chunky buds though. I didn't snap pix of every plant yield but some are there.

Highly recommend

I'll be back after it's dried, trimmed.

This strain is pretty potent. It's advertised as a 29% THC strain and I would say that's accurate. It grew very much on it's own. I changed out the nutrients weekly and near the end I topped up with water because the plant was consuming all 4 gallons of solution. This strain produces very sticky frosty buds that will fuck your scissors up frequently. This plant took a long time to ripen at near 12 weeks before the trichomes were roughly where i wanted them to be. Not difficult to grow. If I had to say something I didn't like about this strain, it was that it's quite leafy which makes it a bitch to trim. In the future if I wanted to grow a Runtz again i would look for a cross that reduced the leaf to calyx ratio. It scrogged decently and handled defoliation without much sign of stress and there was not 1 bud that I had to throw out due to being thin and whispy. The smoke is fruity and smooth with a great high that can be felt from head to toe. Very enjoyable! Nose in the bag gives a sweet fruity smell.

I think I stressed the poor plant too much. Next grow I won't defoliate so much and let it do it's thing. I'll use LST if I can. I'll let the plant guide me! I'll also supplement with Medi one way earlier in the process.

Blue Dream proved to be a resilient strain despite the many challenges encountered. Even with an acidic medium, calcium deficiency, and nutrient lockout causing elevated PPM, the plant continued to grow and develop. While the flowering phase didn’t go as smoothly as hoped—partly due to these issues—the plant still managed to produce dense buds. The provisional yield came in at 1532g (branch, leaf, and bud), with the final dry bud weight to be updated once drying and trimming are complete. Edit: Following 7 days of drying, the scale clocks the branch, leaf and buds at 315g. I'll let the buds stabilize in the jars before calculating the final bud only weight. Overall, the strain was fairly easy to grow, even though there were struggles. Its ability to keep going despite all the complications was impressive. Despite the difficulties, the plant’s robust nature made it a good choice for learning how to troubleshoot and recover from mistakes.

Good product, smoked

This plant was resilient to constant LST during veg . I found it to be a rewarding experience. The temperature even rose to the 90 degree mark for a couple days and the plant did not stunt growth at any time. I have two plants in the pictures but I’m only referring to the larger one. I did not clean up the bottom and ended up with a lot of pop-corn buds. I buds are medium density. The smell is gas, pungent, and earthy.

Tangerine Dream is my go to strain when I wan to get stuff done. If you are looking for a boost this is the one to try. Whether its going for a hike, building some stairs or making music this one will help get you in the mood. This wasn't my best grow and even on the drying and curing things could have been better. The weather got really hot and I don't have a dedicated AC unit in the garage so the drying happened at temperatures higher than I wanted. Drying was in the mid to upper 20s and took less than two days. Curing started off well but then I left town and didn't have the ability to continue the process for over a week. I have resumed the curing and only time will tell if the flavor comes back. In the end the terpenes weren't anything that I was expecting and the fruity citrus smell and taste just wasn't there. Its a pretty mild flavor and not disagreeable but just not super strong. That said the effects of the strain were still there. Within minutes the glow sets in and the fun starts. I harvested it with few amber tricomes to keep the buzzy feel and it doesn't disappoint. I feel clear headed and not all that distracted but feel great and want to move. Lots of white frosty buds that nearly gummed up my grinder. Some of the frostiest that I have grown, just not the tastiest. For me the Tangerine Dream to get stuff done and the Critical Purple to put me to bed. One for up and one for down.

Good

Strong small bushy plant

Best grow so far. No WPM to deal with (last 5 grows I have had to fight WPM). Beautiful aroma and the buds are dense. Haven't smoked any yet but I have had this strain before so I know what's in store. Final dry weight is 518g

I weigh dry bud

Mmmkay.. 3 weeks from chop, 2 weeks in jars, we grew 5 using different techniques and I dont know if that’s the reason but they smell different.. number 2 gave the best yield, least amount of stress and smells exactly like GSCs should. She’s delicious and dessert like! 1 was second highest yielded, similar level of stress but the smell is not as strong as #2, it’s more like sweet bread than dessert.. and 3/4/5 yielded terribly as expected with their high levels of stress and smells even more mild and like bread. I think it’s because the stressed out buds are leafier making the cure more crucial. I’m very satisfied as I grew for concentrates not smokable flower anyway and these wash well but even with number 2 smelling yummy enough to be smoked, and I do like a flavour change every now and then, I’m not really a cookies girl at heart. I like to smoke hashy weed. So it’s not a fair comparison. But she hits beautifully. And that’s why I keep coming back to cookies strains. They make consistently good medicine which makes for easy dosing. Well rounded, balanced, thorough high with all the relief, comfort and good vibes you need. As for concentrates, she yields great! And that was the intended purpose!! We’ve been hashing and extracting and cooking up delicious test batches of medicine and lovely topicals from the trim/smalls and have sent out the testers to loved ones. They agree, this is good. This was a trial run, we have 5 more seeds planned for the patio this spring and it’s an easy decision to go ahead with the original plan and run these again. Now that we know the strain better we can give her better care and I look forward to pulling more precious oils next time. I’m happy with this pick. She was as advertised, grew as expected and gave me what I wanted. Highly recommend if you like concentrates and you want to grow some very pretty looking and ultra discreet plants, highly recommend not stressing her out much for best results. We’ve jarred up #2 for smoking and started processing the rest of the cured flower.

I don’t know else to describe the flavour/scent but my daughter said chocolate orange and pine and something else! It’s very unique flavour profile and the oil we extracted is tasty. Buds are still curing and getting better day-by-day. Trying to be patient because I know it needs more time, but the few buds we’ve smoked have not disappointed, just a bit dry in the back of my throat yet, I’m not coughing and then what’s that flavour and a sunny tingling it’s spreads through your head for a happy sativa high that has you smiling while a slow steady creep of numbing pain relief takes care of your body. Very nice, whole effect, heavy. Not sleepy, not buzzy, I’m present but completely relaxed. This is my preferred balanced hybrids, the perfect medication for managing painful struggle days and be functional, and not grumpy. And it’s just plain tasty recreational evening and weekend weed that hits just the way I like. I wrote this bit with a twaxed joint of these space cookies and I’m tickled we pulled such a heavy hitter and that I have lots more seeds to give this a proper grow. It hits fast with euphoria, relaxed me completely, numbed my pain, no couch lock or cloudy thinking, put me in a meditative mood which I used to clean the house and then watch a movie, lasted at least 3 hours. Test complete. From this run we’ve yielded #3 46g cured flower + 1g dry sift + 4.4g oil approx (I split the evap and used half for the cannagar, other half weighed 2.2g) #2 no buds so made 4.9g oil and used for edibles and topicals #1 1.3g oil (from 10g dried bud) To celebrate this fun substrate test we made a Thai stick style cannagar with the bud, fan leaves and oil collected from our 3 space cookies specimens and it’s curing now in the fridge for our new year’s toke :) everyone got a pre-roll with their Christmas present and they all sent me photos like the one I took after my own smoke report. Very happy, this weed gets you fucked up in a lovely way and I’m proud of it. Next time we will just grow it without the added challenges 😂

Pretty straight forward except a premature flush wk 5, it tough tough to recover

Spider Mites got it before I got there!

Mold was the cause of a very reduced harvest. Yes, it rained all summer. Had to harvest before getting the trichomes to the cloudy stage. I don't know the effect of the high yet as I am still in the curing stage. 122 grams dry weight.

Right now there is no "cereal milk" smell. Its straight gas, very pungent at the moment. Hits like it smells too, very potent.
