You can read up on one half of MAPLE DRIP (OGKB 2.1 X BLACK MAPLE) and not the other. OGKB is OG Kush Breath - the Cookies phenotype that behaves like nothing else in the family. BLACK MAPLE stays in-house, which tells you it was worth keeping rather than selling.

2 identifies the OGKB used here. Numbered cuts come out of a population that was grown and sorted, and the number rides with the plant that was kept. Two crosses that both say OGKB are only the same cross if the number matches too.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: OGKB. OG Kush Breath - the Cookies phenotype that behaves like nothing else in the family. Its own cross is a phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies, which is itself OG Kush over a Durban line. Caryophyllene leads its terpene profile with limonene underneath, which is where the gas and the citrus edge come from. It was popularised through Northern California grower circles rather than by a seed company.
• Father: BLACK MAPLE. Held by Bloom and not documented outside their own catalogue.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Herbal and earthy with a nutty berry note over it, turning spicy and pungent as it burns - the breathy funk the name points at.
• The Taste. Nutty vanilla on the inhale, herbal berry on the exhale, spicier with each one.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. It carries a mutation you cannot miss and it grows slowly - genuinely slowly. It hands down dark colour, short internodes and heavy trichome coverage with unusual consistency, which is why breeders put up with the pace.
• Vegetative Phase and Stretch. Shape the plant before the flip. Correcting a frame in week six is harder work than setting it in week two.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe OGKB as indica-dominant, and heavier in the body than most Cookies selections.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
