Most definitely different. The strawberry pheno is more aromatic and has incredible sweet flavor that just lifts you up and up as she hits you and then ever so gently she starts to set you back down until you feel content and safe feeling-stress reductor. I believe that her step sister will most likely be like Jessica or the Skunk pheno, the least favorite of mine, but super solid smoke. I am hoping she switches to the strawberry-spice version I had in that shorter pheno. Her colas look similar in shape,...we will see. That's part of the fun.
At this point for me, I actually get a little disappointed when the pheno I get isn't the best tasting one. For me there are three important things with herb:
1a. Potency- the stronger the better as I have a high tolerance and don't like spending too much time making concentrates.
1b. Taste- I like sweet, berries, and some either dank or fuel type overtones, but really if an herb has a great flavor, I will be into that more than a strong weed that has no flavor, so this is a close second place for me.
3. Effect- I like knowing what the effects of my meds are and I like to use them at the appropriate times(for the most part). I like more up in the daytime and down at night, but sometimes it is about the mood you are in.
It is difficult to find other growers who are willing to trade buds with you for guys who really like variety...I am happy smoking my own buds and choosing what I want to smoke for now, I just wish I had a little more control over which pheno I get!
