Blackberry SkunkBand

– Blackberry SkunkBand –
BlackBerry Kush(Old Mendocino Stock) x BubbleBand(Headband x [Headband x Indiana BubbleGum])

What is BubbleBand?! An INSANE Mashup That Ive Been Working On For A Couple Years Now. Its the base cross of 2 classic heirlooms which need no introduction to the seasoned heads out there: Headband(LA Kush/Notso Cut) x Indiana BubbleGum(CSI). This was a limited NotsoxCSIxBS release that I popped 7 of and found an absolute keeper from that run. My keeper pheno, the #7 from that run, heavily leans toward the headband lineage in structure and aroma, this pheno checked every box for me. Shes a Skunky, Frosty, Sticky, Green Bud Beauty Queen. The BubbleGum really bulked up the yield on these & unlike most of the other phenos from the pack, the #7 didn’t receive too much sweetness at all to it, just a waxy pink bubblegum note that is quite understated with an emphasis on Gas & Skunk Notes which are quite forward!

I took this keeper of Headband x Indiana BubbleGum and reversed it on to the Headband Mother(Notso Cut) and the results were nothing short of phenomenal! These are a bulked up headband that yields heavy and produces Skunky, Diesel leaning phenos with a hint of pink waxy bubble gum aromas without any of the sweetness and straight gassy sour exhales in most phenos. Its basically just a bigger yielding Headband! For those of you looking for the old school skunk, this is one of my top 5 varietals that put you in the ballpark of old school skunk notes! Fresh carbon filters recommended for these runs as many phenos will get deliciously loud n’ stanky!

I laid this ontop of some very rare stock from my vault: Blackberry Kush, an old mendocino seed stock preserved by my homie GhostGalaxy in Mendo, and graciously passed to me, to create an insanely terpy, old school headband cross. The Blackberry brings some awesome traits you dont see alot anymore: She is on the eralier side running 7.5-8.5 weeks on her own(dont be suprised if she throws hairs on you even in veg, normal with this line) Her terps is known for her extremely loud volatile blackberry citrus almost jammy earthy notes on ammonia skunk flavors and smells. The heirloom Blackberry Kush is rumored to come to us by way of a skunk and haze hybrid selection, this lineage is foggy at best but definitely been held tightly by a handful of crews and older heads in the emerald triangle. One thing we can say for certain is that she brings a very unique old school genetic pool to the table that when mixed with this skunk/Gum grand child you just get the best of old-school “should have been” strains of the 80’s-90’s era. In the 90’s reading high times I dreamed about mashups like this: Blackberry skunk Gum hybrid cross. Im getting around to getting out all my dreams as the years go by, this was but one of them. She has a great fade when ran outdoors, will kick purple calyx and leaf but not new school cookies looking purple, a much older purple look to her! Oh and talk about terps! The skunk notes are only amplified and accented by the headband bx. These will be some of the most timeless and epic terps out of the line! The Headband really brought the potency up a couple notches to the blackberry, just what we had hoped for!

Flower Time: 7.5-9.5 Weeks

Phenos: A True Swing Hybrid with phenos ranging from and anywhere in between: from 40/60 NLD sativa to BLD indica – 60/40 NLD sativa to BLD indica

Terps: Skunky, pissy, Blackberry Jam, Burnt Blackberry Citrusy Marmalade, Skunk & Ammonia citrus rind with fermented or composting black currant notes, Dried Prunes and Gassy sweet skunk, fresh blackberry air freshener scent and earthy funky gas station bathroom. VERY UNIQUE!

Therapeutics: Party and Fun smoke, Great anytime smoke, medium to strong-ish potency, a great session smoke as the room notes will take you back 20 years and remember the old days. Depending on pheno these hit the head rapidly cerebrally, even creative but stoney settling at therapeutic half-life into a very relaxing body buzz that is reminiscent of the bubblegum parentage. So more uplifting high on the front end with a settled full body indica buzz on the back end of effects, a very groovy & unique pairing!
