Where's My Bike

A comparison made by a cannabis magazine in 2021 on 2 harvests from a farm in southern Oregon shows how differently Where's My Bike can smell depending on cultivation. The greenhouse flowers of the cross of Amnesia and Biker Kush, which comes from Karma Genetics, smelled of bubblegum with a clear terpinolene note, along with lime candy and a sharp, sweet acetone tone. Grown indoors, the lime came through louder, carried by a base that leaned toward gas. In flavor, the test recorded tropical fruit and sour herbs, more pronounced in the greenhouse material.

Aroma and Flavor:

Other strain descriptions weight things differently. One mentions tar, citrus and a chemical note, another earthy and herbal with spicy berry and bubblegum, with a peppery finish in the flavor. A Canadian producer speaks of fruity, spicy and earthy tones. User reports mention herbs and pepper, sweetness with a chemical edge, and citrus, and in 2 reports a flavor reminiscent of Sour Diesel; one consumer, by contrast, found hardly any fruit. For version 2.0, an authorized distribution partner of the breeder lists lemon, incense and fuel.

Genetics and Origin:

According to the description by Karma Genetics, Where's My Bike pairs an Amnesia cut, listed as D-Cut and described by the breeder as award-winning, with a selected male of Biker Kush designated HA-OG BX1. Biker Kush comes from the same breeding line and traces back to Hells Angel OG and Lucifer OG. The male is said to have changed the THC profile and produced smaller trichomes, and according to the breeder the resin is well suited to hashish. 2013 is given as the year of release, and one producer places its origin in Amsterdam. The strain is also known as Amnesia OG. One strain description gives 90 % sativa, while others list it generally as predominantly sativa-leaning.

In the breeding of other breeders it appears as a parent: illo Seeds used it for Disturbia and Rough Zea, and Monster Seeds Uruguay crossed it with Lava Freeze for Winter Bike.

Cultivation:

For the original version, Karma Genetics gives 9 to 12 weeks of flowering and describes tall plants with a sativa structure and high yield, suited to indoor and outdoor. Seeds were released only as regular; no feminized edition existed. One strain description rates cultivation as moderately difficult and gives an October harvest for outdoors.

With Where's My Bike V2.0, the breeder relaunched the strain. The mother is now Silver Amnesia, a cross of Amnesia and Super Silver Haze chosen for its shorter flowering; the father remains Biker Kush, according to one distribution partner a male of Biker Kush V2. Karma Genetics gives 9 to 10 weeks of flowering and a medium to high yield for this version, likewise only as regular seeds, and considers it suitable for the greenhouse as well. The descriptions of V2.0 consistently mention strong stretch in flowering and a high fertilizer demand; on final height, the dealers' statements range between medium and high.

In the Oregon comparison mentioned above, the greenhouse plants formed firm, large flowers. The indoor plants stretched more, and their flowers were lighter green and more densely covered with trichomes.

THC Content:

Strain descriptions give 19 to 26 % THC without naming a lab or batch. For V2.0, one dealer gives more than 20 %.

Lab Results:

An evaluation of lab certificates that discloses neither sample count nor labs puts terpinolene first at 0.80 %, ahead of myrcene at 0.47 %, beta-caryophyllene at 0.24 % and limonene at 0.19 %; beta-pinene, alpha-pinene, linalool and humulene follow at 0.16 % or less each. Individual batches may deviate depending on cultivation and phenotype. The observation from the Oregon greenhouse fits the terpinolene, while another strain description puts caryophyllene ahead of humulene and limonene at the top.

Effects:

In user reports, a head-centered effect is in the foreground. Euphoria, good mood, concentration, drive and creativity are named, along with talkativeness and fits of laughter; several consumers assign the strain to daytime and describe a clear head. Others noticed how the high shifted after a while into physical relaxation, up to strong relaxation at a higher dose. One report mentions tiredness and hunger, and a summary of user comments contains a case in which the effect turned out rather sedating. The test from Oregon described a spaced-out, stoney state that nevertheless encouraged movement.

Reported undesired side effects are dry mouth and dry eyes, dizziness, headaches and gaps in short-term memory. In individual reports, restlessness and feelings of anxiety set in a few minutes after the strongly cerebral onset; once, paranoia is mentioned.
