Honestly, in California OG Kush started losing that Frankincence scent and unforgettable flavor starting in 2006 when a couple of small time California growers started selling S1 seeds of the OG clone. The potency and trich production was retained, but the church scent and strong taste noticeably diminished over time. There are a few OG strains remaining that remind me of pre S1 OG, but those are few and far between.OneHighMofo wrote: ↑Sat 10th Nov 2018 04:23 pm+1 Great post.DeLekkersteNUGS16 wrote: ↑Sat 10th Nov 2018 03:34 pm Supposedly church smell was attributed to the late 90s/early 2000s "piff" aka "puray" "uptown haze" the signature strain that used to be legendarily peddled out Manhattan's Uptown (Harlem & Washington Heights) sector on the streets but was revered for its legendary potency and frankincense like odor.
People would flock from all over the Tri-State Area to cop the famous piff. Apparently there was a Florida connection somewhere in there as in people always talked about Domincian/Cuban groups pumping out of greenhouses in Southern Florida and trafficking it Northward up the Atlantic coast in fully-loaded semis ("lorries").
Dat Piff aka Da Church aka Frankie aka Puray aka that Uptown Wash Heights Haze from the Dominicano papi corner-boys sold by pre-bagged "dub" ($20 sack) or "dimo" (dimebag/$10 sack)
I'd assume that you could find a good analogue for 'the church' with any strain high in limonene, pinene and critically Phellandrene (so a bunch of hazes and certain OG lineage's). As it's one of the characteristic monoterpenes found in Frankincence
IME, the OG being sold in Mokum (S1 I suppose), although potent, is no where near as church smelling as the buds from the original OG clone.
Edit: When I was in Amsterdam last week, Dampkring had Piff Haze on the menu, and at least for me, was impressively potent-one huge bong hit put me in an extremely meditative state for 30 minutes, before the second wave kicked in and I was suddenly motivated to vigourously walk a couple of laps around Vondelpark. Couldn't really tell if it indeed smelled like the Church due to the shop's effective filtration system, nor can I really taste weed with bongs, but it was a memorable high.
