See that is why I'm willing to run my bag seed Chem D and GMO; I love those two so much I don't care if I get a few bananas LOL. Man I REALLY need to find some Donny Burger to try out haha.
You're the second person today to bring that thousand oaks to my attention.... I read a description and they're talking about something that sounds pretty nice.
Motor Breath and Grease Monkey are both capable of producing some interesting smells, though this past run of Grease Monkey seems to have gone all citrus and blue dawn dish soap... I'll see how I feel about this after sampling LOL.
Chem D is one of my all time favorites; Normally I get a burnt rubber smell that begins to shift into almost smelling like nothing, but once it's cured, it's like lemon cleaning product with.... milk... LOL. This season though I got my tooth decay pheno finally! She produces so good too, and is one of those strains that every time I bust it up, it looks like I have sand all over my tray from trichomes being everywhere on this one.
GMO is pretty interesting; The seeds came from one that legit smelled mainly like garlic and onions, but then once busted up had a soil / mushroom smell. So far in the curing process, it went from straight garlic during veg, to garlic butter and cooked onions, and last I checked, it had that raw bloody beef that isn't quite fresh anymore scent..... now THAT is a new one for me personally and I've been on that so fast... Grind up a quarter or so at a time of her.
I do have to mention that Fiona's Chem Cake, is fully capable of some proper spice! I got two phenos this past season, and the #1, which turned almost black, smells not unlike horseradish / fake wasabi and pepper and.....GAS.
Susie Cream Cheese is also fully capable of interesting aromas; She started out where you'd smell Strawberry candy, then a Limburger like aroma, and then, as she flowered out, the Limburger came back in, but settled into Mozzarella Cheese. She has recently changed a bit with a new floral note, but I'm still not over being sick so it's hard to describe it right now.
I think the most "wtf" aroma was the mystery Blue Cheese cross. I named it Psychobilly Cheese because I thought it was funny, though it's also easier to write than an entire strain name, an X, and then a mystery every time I put some away, but that's probably the most pungent of them all so far at least; Proper cat pee / urine, and skunky. Hint of maybe spoiled blueberry yogurt?
I've asked Schwaggy about this before, and he said the most "foul" things he's smelled were done by him on purpose, and, I'm not sure what they were but maybe if I nag him he can release one of those LOL. He did say old Afghani lines are a good place to look, and I agree. He also mentioned that if it smelled like berries, to look elsewhere, as I know that is possible in those lines too.
