Historical sample observations

A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. This week on the archive the archive are taking a look at a strain which has quickly risen to become one of the reviewer's favourites after the reviewer first sampled it a couple of weeks ago. \n OG #18 is a powerful Indica cross of Chemdawg and OG Chem . This strain comes from Reserva Privada. The plant apparently gives the yield of Chemdawg with the power of OG Chem, all the while with a more sour/fruity taste than traditional OG Kush. \n\nThis particular phenotype was grown by Kush Family Collective, who traded their 2015 Dopefiend Cup Winner Blues and their Grapefruit strain for cuttings of OG #18 and Casey Jones. \n\n \n\n[caption id="attachment_8064" align="aligncenter" width="2419"] OG #18 Bud[/caption]\n Appearance \nThe buds look very well-developed, and the reviewer'd guess she is a good yielder looking at the buds the reviewer got in the sample - actually received this in one big bud, so breaking it apart was a shame!\n\nThe trim job has been done with love, and the close-up photos show just how good the quality of this bud is (the reviewer just wish the reviewer had a better macro lens for zooming):\n\n \n Smell \nGassy notes of diesel, earth and pine are all in abundance as the reviewer sniff this bud, with the dank fuel smell becoming almost overpowering when the buds are cracked open or ground up. This strain stinks in a really good way. \n\nI can imagine you'd want to keep it extra smell-proofed in your pocket to avoid some unwanted looks on the tube.\n \n Taste \nWhile thinking about the taste the reviewer was just going to hit another bong..\n\nI consumed the OG #18 in a joint and through the reviewer's bong, plus some through the reviewer's PAX 3 vaporiser. the reviewer also attempted to make some Rosin with straighteners which didn't end so well, but it looks as if these buds are quite resinous (the reviewer think the reviewer used the wrong type of paper).\n\nThrough a joint the reviewer could tell that this has been grown and cured correctly, as the joint tasted good all the way down and didn't present any harshness or bad flavours. The piney and earthiness come through in a joint along with slight fruity notes not found in OG Kush. \n\nVaporising the OG #18 the reviewer got more of the piney taste that was really powerful through the PAX. A little bit of earthiness, also felt really nice in the reviewer's throat as it made a nice change from the reviewer's bong.\n\nThrough the bong the reviewer got more of that intensity, but also the diesel flavour and pine. This is more a little more fruity tasting than OG Kush in a very slight way that is hard to detect.\n\n \n Effects \nThe first time the reviewer smoked OG 18 the reviewer was editing a video. When it kicked in, the reviewer had to have a break to zone out and watch some tv. As a seasoned consumer, weed doesn't normally do this to the reviewer on the first hit, so the reviewer was very surprised!\n\nThis is strain is sometimes referred to as Videogame weed, and after smoking the OG #18 for a couple of weeks and building up the reviewer's tolerance the reviewer don't think that there is any question about the strength of this batch. Thankfully the reviewer had now got to the stage where the reviewer can enjoy consumption without too much of the sedative relaxation this strain gives, meaning the reviewer can now smoke it without it being game over every bong hit.\n\n OG #18 is perhaps best suited for later on in the day. It is one of the stronger cannabis strains that the reviewer had smoked, and the reviewer think it is a great choice for a relaxing high.\n Conclusion \nI love this cannabis strain. Once the reviewer got over the initial power of the bud, something a lot of strains just can't match up to, The reviewer recorded it more enjoyable, as the reviewer can now take big hits without fear of losing productivity, something the reviewer experienced to the reviewer's surprise when the reviewer first sampled the OG #18. \n
