Ok I just read in this smoke report that the 14 plants did not carry any potency. Well my question is a statement and a question. I grew early queen outdoor 03 04 ... that's 17 years ago.. now these plants were so potent deadly potent at that time I had 10 years of pot head immunity lol a smoker . I'd rate them at a 8 out 10 for potent..HAS THIS STRAINN
In my opinion it is not about potency as much as it is about tolerance.
I found early queen kept getting me higher the longer it cured and I didn't develop a tolerance to it.
When I sampled it at first along with other strains that included super silver haze and some others I can't remember anymore. I seemed like garbage. I put it aside and smoked everything else for a while, Then i got bored of those and tried early queen again after 2 or more months.
It was GREAT! The cure really made a difference.
I smoked it almost exclusively for the next good while. It kept getting better. I was not developing a tolerance to it AND it was getting better.
I think one thing that throws people off these days is that the leaves do not crystalize whatsoever. The bud itself does but not the leaves. Quite different from modern kush strains. Combine that with the previously mentioned 2 month cure period that seems to be required for the high to really shine through and people write it off without really giving it a chance.
I did not let much EQ out of my possesion but one time I did give someone a bag of EQ dust I had collected. I don't think they were expecting much but they said it was better than all the other weed they had been smoking. So that combined with the fact that I smoked the whole lot to myself speaks volumes.
