Well I think I'm about wrapped up with this journal, but I realized I hadn't done a real smoke report for Skywalker, Lavender or Magic Bud. So, I'm hoping this rectifies that somewhat. While I was at it, I thought I'd cut and paste some of my Lucy and Chocolope smoke report info into here so it's a complete wrap up.
I want to thank everyone for following my journal, helping along the way, and just being so fantastically supportive. You guys (and gals!) rock!
I'm planning on taking a break until at least the first of the year, but I'm going to keep popping into everyone's journals and participating in the community here as time allows (until then).
Skywalker review (Vape report)
Taste/Smell: Blueberry all the way. Fantastic taste and smell. Probably the best "fruit" flavored weed I've had taste-wise. I really enjoy vaping Skywalker
High: Very nice mostly indica style high. Helps with general pain relief, some euphoria at the beginning, but mostly a kick back and veg sort of high. I like it quite a bit more than I expected, and find myself reaching for it more than I thought I would.
Overall: I like Lucy and Chocolope best, but Skywalker is a fun diversion and really good bud in it's own right. The taste/smell is fantastic, and when I want a good indica stone, I've been reaching for this quite a bit.
Skywalker:
Lavender smoke/vape report:
Taste/Smell: Mostly fresh flowers or... lavender. An appropriate name. Seemed a little more grape early in the cure, but mostly fresh flowers now. Reminds me quite a bit of Purple Urkle I've had. Very yummy weed, though I'm not always in the mood for the flowery taste.
High: Strong indica high. A little spacey at the start, but settles into couch lock and will flat knock me out in short order. This is our bedtime bud, and is best not vaped/smoked if you plan on doing anything with your day. Really makes me melt and not care about anything.
Overall: This plant produced giant buds and is a spectacular indica. Mine didn't purple much, but it sure had pretty buds. I love this at the end of a long day, and feel at ease with the world after vaping it. When I just want to veg, it's this or Skywalker. I prefer the Skywalker flavor and high, but the Lavender is flat narcotic - and sometimes that's what I want.

Magic Bud smoke/vape report:
Like the Chocolope, the Magic Bud wasn't given much space. I've grown Magic Bud a few times before, and for a reason. It has a helluva good high.
Taste/Smell: Most of the time, Magic Bud has just had a slightly flower, fresh flavor. Nothing special, but fresh and good. This particular Magic Bud just flat out has mediocre flavor. Based on flavor alone, it's a dud.
High: Fortunately this Magic Bud still has a nice high. It's not as good as others I've grown, but it's pretty good. Based on high alone, I still find myself wanting it in the rotation. It helps with my pain, it is a good hybrid blend of uplifting and narcotic. Nicely in between, which is why I've grown it a few times.
Overall: Every other Magic Bud I've grown had that "just took a hat off my head" feeling with the high, or you would feel the socks on your feet... but this one doesn't. Still, a good high and nicely potent. I wish it didn't taste so blah, but I still like the effect/high.
Magic Bud:
Lucy smoke/vape report (as previously reported...):
Taste/Smell: The flavor of the Lucy has already matured into something special and hard to describe. Initially it had a bit of a lemon pinesol thing going on, which actually tasted much better than it sounds. Now it's changed a bit, and has a lemony fuel taste that has a hint of sandlewood and other complex almost musky flavors. There are minor floral tones as well. It's difficult to describe, but the flavor is so good that I'm almost obsessed with it. I'm drawn to it. Even the lingering aftertaste leaves me licking my lips and brings a smile to my face. I've had great tasting weed before, but nothing with the complex, hard to describe flavor this has.
High: The high (of at least this particular Lucy), is not quite as described on their site. I feel no trippiness per se', but I float comfortably and feel motivated, energized, and creative after vaping it. No paranoia, no trippiness. Just happiness, positive energy and motivated creativity.
Overall: This is some very strong, killer weed, and the closest I've come to a truly special plant. Combined with a really unique look, and heavy resin-loaded buds this weed (or perhaps this particular pheno) seems to have it all.
Lucy:
Chocolope smoke/vape report:
Taste/Flavor: I love Chocolope so far. The flavor is maturing as it cures, but it started out fruity and seems to have a hint of chocolate now. I love the flavor even if it's hard to describe... The fruitiness really caught me off guard. Fruit loops comes to mind, with a tootsie roll aftertaste. The Tootsie Roll flavor is starting to become more pronounced as the cure progresses.
High: The effects are euphoric, and it definitely makes me giggle. Overall an upbeat high that makes colors more vivid, music better, and has very little couchlock. It's a Sativa high all the way, but it really helps with my nerve pain, which I have had a really hard time treating. Left my sore legs feeling warm and tingly, but not pained. Yahoo!
Overall: Both my wife and I are liking it on par with Lucy, which is saying a lot! Very fun stuff, and fantastic on my nerve pain.
Chocolope:
