Bud Density: 9/10 Rock Solid Buds
Bud Appearance Comments:Cured to a light green/brown colour. Good sized, well formed buds with v.little stalk/leaf. Covered in crispy trichs.
Grindability : 6/10 Fluffs up slightly to a light crumbly texture. Releasing its sweet apricot fromage smell. When hand grinding the trichs give the buds an almost sandy texture.
Smell in veg: 9/10 Good, from a stealth perspective, Not much smell until late vegging.
Smell in flower: 8/10 From Cheesy, through Pissy to just sweet skunky. Carbon Filter Mandatory
Smell after curing: 7/10 Cure developed into a nice, sweetly acrid, pungent skunky smell with a slight cheesy aftertone. On the Slightly Cheddary side of Apricot Fromage.
Smell of smoke: 6/10 In a Joint with cig baccy. Not the strongest smelling of smokes, surprisingy neither overly cheesy or skunky just subtle hints of each in a slight musk weed smell with subtle sweaty sock overtones.
Taste: 6/10 Smoke is expansive in the lungs at first and takes a bit of holding onto. Cool, almost menthol on the way down.Smooth on the exhale. Not really any special taste as such, but nothing nasty either.
The High: 5/10. Mellow, heady, happily confusing. Doesn't couchlock you unless you hammer it. Can get things done with this but nothing too mentally taxing as it screws up your logical thinking slightly in a pleasant way. Nice warm head massaging buzz with slight temple pressure followed by a warm all over cushioning. A nice relaxing stone.
Length of buzz :5/10: Regular Joint in cig baccy, initially buzzing for 1/2 hour with a mellow fade of a further 1/2 hour.
Good comments:Nice Short plant, dense buds, stood up to a bit of abuse and produced a reasonable quantity of damn fine buds. A nice relaxing smoke, not too heavy at the stage I chopped (cloudy). Rooted well and lets you know when she's finished by lightening up well at end of flowering
Bad Comments:Being absolutely critical she was a mutant seed which slowed her down a little early on and succumbed to bud rot in her final days.She is a stinker when she gets going but this could conversley be a good point
General Comments: Strong, hardy plant to grow, took a bit of abuse and didn't hermy. She flowered immediately into 12/12 and finsihed in a tad over 8 weeks. Has a lovely lush green coulur in grow. Reasonable yeild and would have expected more but her cuttings, grown out normally, are short indica 1-2oz yielders so I cannot complain. Finished product is attractive and bud heavy. Would I grow it
again?.....I have two on the go now 6 weeks into flower and a femmed seed in my stash tin so yes.
peace
