Once again, Garden of Dreams was kind to let me test some of his recent harvest. There was a bit of a delay getting this combined smoke report out, but it will be completed in two parts... The first part began with me blazing this smoke test over a week and a half ago, and taking notes. Since both of these strains are very similar, I've combined the smoke report until I can retest them again to make this as accurate as possible...
I've actually stopped smoking since the last test as I've got a drug test coming up in the very near future and once I take the test, I'm gonna celebrate big time with the remaining nugs and come back with further comments on the second half of this smoke report. Besides knocking me on my ass after a couple weeks of more curing, the lower tolerance level should help me pick a winner... On a side note, I need a detox drink to pass my test, so I'd really appreciate some suggestions (especially if I can get it at a Socal headshop)...
On to the smoke report... Both of these OG cuts are extremely similar in appearance and odor, almost to the point of being very difficult to notice the difference. This is one reason why I've combined the smoke report and will complete it with a fresh mind and further testing. While the Valley OG seems to be slightly more photogenic on the screen, I'm really drawn to the Tahoe OG with the naked eye. The Tahoe OG's calyx structure is only slightly larger in appearance and when breaking nugs down, and her odor is slightly more appealing to me. The Valley OG appears more uniform in bud structure at the tip of the cola whereas the Tahoe OG has a more rough structure. Both are covered in trichomes, extremely dense, and break apart nicely without falling apart. Both have a kerosine fuel odor with earthy and piney undertones, but the Tahoe is a bit stronger in the aroma department...
First hit of the day is extremely smooth for both, but as the smoke expands in your lungs they hit you like a brick... A few coughs later and the typical OG high starts to kick in and easily lasts over 2 hours. The taste of earthy pinesol coats your entire mouth, and when you exhale the skunky aftertaste reminds me of a great BBQ on a summer day... Absolutely tastey OG Kush at its finest! Both strains are top notch in the potency scale and really make me sit down to think about how much more can I really smoke at the moment... A couple hours later I'm relaxed and ready for another massive hit, then I'm back to laying on the couch for a few more hours... :cool
