A<\/span> longtime hitter in West Coast dispensaries, God\u2019s Gift is an homage to when purple was king and people were trying to figure out how many different purple cuts we could get.<\/p>\n The story of God\u2019s Gift definitely started a bit with the particular genetic line we\u2019ll cover here. From California\u2019s Emerald Triangle<\/a>, to Los Angeles<\/a>, to everywhere in between, growers have named various strains \u201cGod\u2019s Gift.\u201d So narrowing the exact lineage of a cross of two of the top five strains of the past 20 years can be tricky. Various versions of Kush and Purple have resulted in many great strains, like the Cup-winning Purple Kush lost in 2011\u2019s DEA raid on Oaksterdam University<\/a>. But without a doubt, BC Bud Depot and Scorpion Crews\u2019 incarnation of God\u2019s Gift <\/a>is most associated with the name.<\/p>\n Both original parents selected by BC Bud Depot were part of a partnership with Scorpion Crew, based out of Orange County. The OG selected for this incarnation of God\u2019s Gift was a fabled OGbx4 cut, meaning it resulted from the fourth stabilized generation of OG Kush being back crossed with the original. This version of OG is believed by some to be the parental line behind San Fernando Valley OG Kush in particular, widely considered amongst the best versions of SoCal\u2019s signature strain.<\/p>\n As for the purple strain\u2019s source, Scorpion Crew reports sourcing it at a long-forgotten Bay Area concert, where they smoked with a master cultivator, and received a cut of his Purps. This was at a time when the Bay Area was awash in elite Purples like legendary Mendo Cream.<\/p>\n After a year in development, the collaboration produced what has to be one the top pairings of OG x GDP ever done. It in turn, ended up winning Canada\u2019s prestigious BioCup, and a legend was born.<\/p>\n Today, you can still find elite cuts of the strain, as well as God\u2019s Gift extracts. The strain\u2019s long trichomes and rich oil content make for beautiful kief, dry sift, and bubble hash. Petro-solvent extraction is often less ideal, as Purples tend to do poorly as shatters, but can be good in budder or wax form.<\/p>\n God\u2019s Gift will be a bit denser than many of its Purple sisters. Much of the time it will be represented by trichome-soaked popcorn bud from the heavy branching, but the colas are absolutely to die for. The visual of the final weeks of the flowering period is gorgeous on strains with this kind of deep purple.<\/p>\n God\u2019s Gift has an aroma that\u2019s fairly unique in the purple world. The pine scent of the pinene isn\u2019t quite as strong as a Purple Kush (Hindu Kush x Purple Afghani), but that\u2019s about the only one. While your nose is being tickled by the kushiness, the robust grape flavor of myrcene will fill your sinuses assuming the grow and cure are pulled off right.<\/p>\n Dense, and resinous yet giving in a grinder. Really nicely dried and cured God\u2019s Gift will have a little give in it, unlike more modern Purps crosses \u2014 which can feel like fused rocks.<\/p>\n Flavor was just as important as potency in the Golden Age of Purple, and any good version of God\u2019s Gift will bring you back to the good old days. Expect a pinch of scratchiness you\u2019d want to see in any good Kush with a fruity sweet overtone that isn\u2019t quite as purple-tasting as a good Erkle, but you won\u2019t need to be an expert to grow it.<\/p>\n It isn\u2019t complete couchlock, but it\u2019s best to keep moving and grooving. God\u2019s Gift will make it very easy to relax and melt a few hours away if that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for. OG<\/a> and Purple blends in general are always a bit more functional than your standard Erkle crosses. This leads to much of the deep narcotic effects of the myrcene interacting with the THC<\/a>, without the heavy eyelids.<\/p>\n Indica hybrids like God\u2019s Gift have been found to be effective for various conditions including nausea, insomnia, and a variety of anxiety disorders. God\u2019s Gift will act as an excellent gatekeeper for those entering the world of high end indicas<\/a>. Folks using God\u2019s Gift on a daily basis while functioning in society are often using it as a treatment for chronic pain conditions.<\/p>\n Breeder:<\/strong> BC Bud Depot \/ Scorpion Crew<\/p>\n Type:<\/strong> Indica-hybrid<\/p>\n Genetics:<\/strong> OG Kush bx4 X GDP<\/p>\n Flowering time:<\/strong> 56-63 days indoors<\/p>\n Originally published in Issue 23<\/a> of Cannabis Now. <\/em>LEARN MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n TELL US,<\/strong> have you ever tried God\u2019s Gift?<\/p>\n The post Strain Review: God\u2019s Gift<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
