Vapor-Lock AI Bred Strain Review
Strain Review: Vapor-Lock (Series B: The Sensory Group)
What happens when you breed Chemdawg 91' x Gelato 33? We had to know! Our AI-simulated cannabis breeding AKA The Neural Nursery was built to answer these types of questions!
🧬 Genetic Profile
Designation: Neural-B06
Strain Name: Vapor-Lock
Lineage: Chemdawg 91 (The Skunk VA Cut) x Gelato 33 (Larry Bird Cut)
Type: Indica Dominant Hybrid (70/30)
THC Content: 27% – 29%
Flowering Time: 63 – 68 Days
Yield Potential: Moderate (450g/m²)
🤖 The Origin Story (Architectural Intent)
Vapor-Lock marks the beginning of Series B: The Sensory Group, where yield takes a backseat to Terpene Intensity.
The Neural Engine was tasked with maximizing "Volatile Sulfur Compounds" (VSCs)—the chemical family responsible for the skunky, gassy smell of cannabis. By combining the legendary chemical astringency of Chemdawg 91 with the creamy, dessert-fuel profile of Gelato 33, the algorithm sought to create a strain so pungent that it defies containment.
The result is a plant with a terpene profile so volatile that it can be smelled through a sealed ziplock bag. It was designed specifically for Hydrocarbon Extraction (BHO/PHO), as the resin heads are unusually large and detach easily.
🚜 Grower's Field Notes
Difficulty: Advanced Structure: Vapor-Lock is a diva. It inherits the lanky, vine-like structure of the Chemdawg. It requires aggressive topping and trellising to control the height.
The Stretch: Expect a 2x stretch in early flower. If you flip at 12 inches, it will finish at 36 inches.
Environmental Sensitivity: This strain is highly sensitive to heat. If temps exceed 80°F (26°C) in late flower, the delicate gas terpenes will evaporate into the air before harvest. You must keep the room cool (below 75°F) to preserve the "Lock."
Odor Management: Warning: A standard carbon filter may not be enough. We recommend a dual-filtration system (scrubbing inside the room + filtering the exhaust). The smell in late flower is akin to a gas leak or burning rubber.
👁️ Bag Appeal (Visuals)
This is "Exotic" shelf material. The buds are spade-shaped and incredibly dense. The foliage turns a deep, nearly black purple (from the Gelato), which contrasts violently with the neon-white layer of trichomes. It looks like a diamond-encrusted meteor.
👃 The Palette (Terpenes)
Dominant Terpenes: Caryophyllene, Limonene, Humulene.
The Nose: Offensive. It smells like acetone, burnt rubber, and jet fuel. There is a very faint creamy sweetness in the background, but it is buried under a mountain of chemical funk.
The Inhale: Thick and heavy. It expands rapidly in the lungs, often inducing a cough (the "chem cough"). The flavor is pure diesel.
The Exhale: Surprisingly sweet, leaving a lingering taste of minty dough and gasoline.
⚡ The Effect (The High)
Vapor-Lock is a "day-ender."
Onset: Immediate facial pressure and heavy eyelids.
The Peak: A powerful narcotic stone. It creates a "physical weight" sensation, as if gravity has increased. It is excellent for pain relief, appetite stimulation, and severe insomnia.
The Utility: Do not smoke this if you have plans. It is strictly for movie marathons, sleep, or recovering from a hard workout. It shuts down the executive function of the brain and locks you to the couch.
🏆 The Verdict
Vapor-Lock is the Extractor's Holy Grail. While it yields less biomass than the Velocity Group, the resin return is astronomical. Washing this strain for bubble hash often yields returns of 6% or higher (fresh frozen). It is quality over quantity in its purest form.
