PHANTOM OG
STRAIN REVIEW
Hey 420! Back again with another strain review. This time it is the Phantom OG from Barneys Farm that we shall be reviewing. The Phantom OG is a cross between OG Kush and Phantom Cookies and is a balanced indica/sativa hybrid. The pheno I grew was a strong growing plant that had a good bud to leaf ratio and long appealing colas. She was a very easy plant to deal with and was resistant to the moderate stresses that I exposed her to. She consumed a lot of nutrients and drank her 10 gallon pot dry regularly resulting in some accidental dry periods. She also had a severe thrip infestation early on which was managed but not elimated. This didn't faze her one bit and she looked healthy and vigourous throughout flowering. She had a rather plain look in regards to colour for much of her life. Then in the last few weeks completely changed and went from being pale to covered in many different flecks, speck and shades. Great plant to grow as she is quite forgiving and interesting to watch. She was done in 9 weeks from the flip making her quite fast for an impressively sized plant. The finished buds are of excellent quality, having awesome bag appeal and heavy feel to them. They are very dense and have a satisfying cracking sound when you break them open. The smell is a familiar OG with spicey hints of pepper and burning sugar. I found the taste to be surprisingly different from the smell. It is more on the Cookie side with a creamy sweetness and nutty tones. The Kush is still there but the musky dessert flavour is dominant. It grinds up beautifully and burns without any problems whatsoever. The smoke is thick and flavoursome and will certainly turn a few heads. The effects are fairly strong which is to be expected with her lineage. They are well balanced and can be utilised for daytime use as well as for relaxing. I prefer something more sleepy past 9pm so I've been using her during the early evening after work and on weekends. I've been functional and not at all lazy yet dreamy and relaxed in my ways when using it. I found it great for going on walks with my partner as we both found it to be a bit dreamlike but with just enough energy to get you there and home again. I found it to be perfectly fine for socialising with friends as it also has some good appetite stimulation. A dinner party strain. A centrepiece for consumption which will certainly be the talking point of the party. I loved this strain from beginning to end and enjoyed having her in my garden. She'd make a great choice for new growers as she is an easy strain to grow and if looked after will reward you with a beautiful bounty. She has the flavour profile and effects that would be appreciated by connoisseur growers as well. Solid strain which I recommend to anyone looking for something reliable and impressive. Here she is....STRAIN REVIEW
