Breeder: Unknown
Lineage if known: Unknown
Vendor: Unknown
Price: Unknown
Type (sativa/indica ratio): Not Sure
Females tested: 9 Clones gifted to me by a friend
Variation: None
Indoor flower period: Between 7 and 8 weeks
Outdoor harvest time: Unknown
These are four of the nine that were grown and are cola shots taken just before harvest. The rest look pretty much the same so I didn't include them
Stretch in Flowering: Minimal
Plant Size: Approximatly 3.5'
Plant Structure: Short, bushy, tight nodes, dense canopy, lots of bud sites. If I were growing this by itself I would have been able to get the lights closer which would have been better with the dense canopy. Looking back it would have benefited me greatly if I would have staked them out and spread them open more.
<> Ease of Growing: (1 = hard 10 = easy) 10 - About as close to "Growing Good Weed For Dummies" as you're going to get
<> Ease of Cloning: (1 = hard 10 = easy) 9 - Most did very well but a few took a bit longer then others
<> Yield (watts): Approximately 2 oz. per plant dried grown under 2K Watts
<> Odor Level: Moderate but not a smell quickly recognized by most,
GROW Method: In soil in a 5' x 8' x 8' area under 2 vertical air cooled 1000W HIDS (1 HPS and 1 MH) Ferts used was Ionic Grow for Soil and Coco and Ionic Bloom and Boost for flower. Vegged 8 weeks, grown bush/tree style, no topping or trainning. Pot sized started at 1 gallon and ended at 5 gallon. Generic Enriched potting soil with Perlite and dolomite lime added.
1. Visual Appeal: 9
Rate the visual appeal of the buds from 1-10 unappealing-excellent.
2. Visible Trichomes: 9
Rate the visible trichome content from 1-10 none-totally covered.
3. Use an X to indicate the colors that are present in the trichome
heads under magnification or list the percentages of each color for
a more precise report. Leave these fields blank if you do not have a powerful magnifier.
Clear: 2%
Cloudy: 80%
Amber: 15%
Dark: 3%
4. Mark with X the colors that are present in the buds or for a more
detailed color analysis rate presence on a scale 1-9 light-dark.
Rate the bud density from 1-10 airy-dense. For samples that are
not in their natural state leave this field blank.
6. Use numbers 1-9 on descriptors that apply to the aroma of freshly broken bud where a one indicates a subtle presence and 9 indicates a pronounced presence. Delete the existing space when marking a descriptor in order to maintain the columns in alignment.
comment: Interesting odor, hard to peg. You smell it and you know it's good but none of the individual elements of odor I marked really describes the smell.
7. Aroma: 8 - Like I said, you know it's good by the smell but it's not like "Oh wow, that smells incredible)
Rate the aroma from 1-10 repulsive-delightful. Use freshly crumbled
bud for best results.
8. Seed content: 6 on deliberately pollinated buds 2 on buds pollen got to more naturally.
Rate seed content from 0-10 none-fully seeded.
9. Just picked: / Weeks cured: 8+ Weeks
If known enter the number of weeks your sample has been cured.
If desired repeat SSR after an additional two weeks of curing.

THE SMOKE TEST
==================================================
Bonus pics - Cross sections of some of the dry sift hash made from the trim of these plants.
Address these questions while smoking.
1. Please use a clean instrument for the evaluation. Enter information
below that will identify the instrument as follows:
Pipe (small-glass): 4" walk around pipe
Joint (enter brand of papers): Joker 1.5
2. Use numbers 1-9 on descriptors that apply to the taste where a one indicates a subtle presence and a nine indicates a very pronounced presence. Delete the existing space when marking a descriptor in order to maintain the columns in alignment.
If appropriate return to this question after 5-10 minutes and mark
with X any unmarked descriptors for lingering aftertaste.
3. Taste: 8 - The taste isn't quite the same as it smells, it's better! Less complex though you don't taste all of what you smell, it's kind of different though and I feel like I'm not describing it completely.
Rate your impression of the taste from 1-10 unpleasant-delicious.
4. State of dryness: 5
Rate the dryness of the bud from 1-10 wet-dry where 5 is ideal.
5. smoke ability: 9 - Pretty smooth with a hint of harshness that tickles the back of your throat.
Rate the smoke ability of the sample from 1-10 harsh-smooth.
6. Smoke expansion: 7 - Not too bad but it can give you a bit of trouble. In joint form it's a little better, maybe a 5
Rate how the smoke expands in the lungs from 1-10 stable-explodes.
7. Intensity: 9 - There's room for improvement or it could be better, but not much.
Rate how high the smoke got you. 1-10 nothing to maximum effects.
8. Type of High. Use combination of #'s if needed.
1. Head: 80%
2. Mix:
3. Body: 20%
coments: It's almost all a head experience but it makes your head feel thick like a brick. It does relax the body somewhat though.
9. "social liability factor" use no 1-10: 7 - You can conduct yourself okay although it would be wise to be among friends and to not drive or do anything terribly complicated.
10.which direction did the high take you? ie is it (a) up time party sativa? or is it; (b) sleep time indica? or (c) it can go both ways?
C: I guess but really more of an a, it gives me mostly a head high but it's a cloudier almost zoned out kind of head high, very hard to keep focused. I don't really feel much of a body high with it though nor does it make me particularly tired but I'm sure I could sleep on it if I wanted to. When you smoke it it hits you pretty quick and takes you to the top fairly quick like an express elevator. Kind of short lived in my opinion or maybe it seems that way because it seems like you come down quickly. Fortunately a quick bowl takes you right back up.
Medical Effects: calming, appetite stimulation, mild relief of aches and pain.
<> Medicinal Strength: 7 on a scale of 1 to 10
KEEPER?
<> YES: Definately, some of the numbers weren't impressive but I thing if I did a few things a little differently growing them they'd do alot better.
<> NO:
Plant Structure: Short, bushy, tight nodes, dense canopy, lots of bud sites. great for scrog - plenty of stretch and good leaf to calyx ratio
<> Ease of Growing: (1 = hard 10 = easy) 7 - my friend killed managed to kill a healthy plant I gave him 4 weeks into flower so it must not be too easy.
<> Ease of Cloning: (1 = hard 10 = easy) 8 -
<> Yield (watts): Approximately 2 oz. per plant dried grown under 400 Watts
<> Odor Level: smell of perfume, some grapefruit, celery, and exotic smells not easily named ( some nag champa)
GROW Method: Hydro DWC using GH floranova plus fulvic acid and floraliscous under a 400 watt hps in a cabinet.... Scrogged after 1 week flower - vegged 3 weeks.
Well I gotta say how much I love this strain as it tastes and smokes awesome as soon as it is dry, that is to say the jar cure is not required to fully enjoy the harvest. nonetheless I will jar cure and the smoke will get smoother.
So yield was excellent. Really chunky buds. Here's a picture of the larger cola's.
They all did this weird thing where bud grew out onto the leaf stem. Normally I am used to my strains shooting up a bud from the crotch of where the fan leaf branch and main stem meet. Usually I clip that at the base and that's all there is for that node for bud growth. Well on this strain there was also a cluster of bud sitting on the leaf stem going out to the fan leaf. In one of these pictures you can see the bud clusters that I am talking about and how they are situated out on the leaf stem. What is real funny is that I can kinda pick them right off the stem - I can't really tell if they're attached to the stem at several points or at one point but the little clusters seem to straddle the leaf stem. First time I have seen this - makes for a nice little extra bonus of bud on the colas which makes me happy

THE SMOKE TEST
==================================================
and let's see, smoke report .... well it is very much like the other burmese I've grown and that is to say outstanding. This one has the same piney almost amonia-ish taste as the first pheno I grew with strong citrus and spice flavors as well (and this is w/o cure). There is some of the greasy tongue feeling too which I enjoy - overall smoke is smooth and sweet thanks to long flushing. The high is fairly immediate with some creeping over a 10 minute period. The high is very much in the head and is happy relaxing and soothing. The relaxing feeling usually carries over to my body and I find my shoulders unwinding and dropping down as the stress goes away. Being outside in bright sunshine one notices some visual changes, nothing pyschedelic (like trails, colors, depth perception issues, etc) but you are visually aware that you are stoned if that makes sense. I still get that happy go lucky bounce in my step too which is nice. It reminds me of this thing we did when I was a kid where you stand in a doorway with your arms at your side, then you lift your arms palms down and press them against the inside of the door frame and hold them there for 30 seconds or so, then you release the pressure and walk out of the door into the room with your arms at your side and your arms will magically without your wishing them to rise because the muscles are still reacting to a message your brain stopped sending. Well if you've ever done that and have felt that weird weightless lightness in your arms as they lifted up, well then that's kinda like the bounce in your step I feel. Just kinda a weightless feeling in my walk like I could just start running and jumping and I would be able to jump over everything in my path....
