Sage 'n' Sour smoke report

Hortipharm in santa barbara, cali, had these for $60 an eighth oz, and near $500 for an oz, for the most part they are large fluffy nugglets that are sure to please someone on a hunt for a bold sativa.

fun pot to smoke, while it does have a ceiling, i think i shall go ram my head into the ceiling a few times more.. i could spend the afternoon doing this. or the rest of the weeks afternoons. Has an immediate high to it upon exhale, would of given it a one in the onset cat, but it didnt get me high at all if i just held it in, once ya blow it out it nails ya.

flavor was very very strong, much like the smell of the pot. The type of pot that if you open it in a crowded restraunt the chef in the far back of the place is gonna come out with a special plate he made for you in the hopes of scoring a nugglet as a tip. Smelled very musky, near identical to lambsbread and the taste of blue dream. I had a fun time tasting this pot, its like the mans trainwreck, its just bigger and bolder, not frail like little girl trainwreck funk.

the high is zippy but not racey with a good touch of indica in it, enough to make your mind wander, and you still get side tracked as your wandering off. As the high comes to an end you can feel the indica feeling start to set in a bit more, or it could be the sativa having a burn out feeling to it. Not that bad, would be good to smoke at dinner and have the indica come on a bit later.

==================================================
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
==================================================


1. Visual Appeal: 6
Rate the visual appeal of the buds from 1-10 unappealing-excellent.
comment: Nugs are very chunk but not trimmed well, there is a fair amount of sugar leaf that needs to be removed, some would smoke this as it is awfully frosty, but as bubbleman said, its about the message not the messenger.


2. Visible Trichomes: 7.5
Rate the visible trichome content from 1-10 none-totally covered.
comment: good trich coverage on inside and outside of bud/leaves, the sugar leaves that are remaining on the nuggets have frost all over em and they have a nice shine to em, often indicating higher quality dank.

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.

Clear: 5%
Cloudy: 90%
Amber: 5%
Dark: %


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.
Brown:
Green: 4
Gold:
Blue:
Grey: 7
White:
Red:
Rust:
Orange: 2
Purple:
Black:


5. Bud density: 4
Rate the bud density from 1-10 airy-dense. For samples that are
not in their natural state leave this field blank.
comment: Very easy to break up, seems to be grown under lower wattage or had some stretch issues in flowering, internode spacing isnt that tight on it and that may be the cause of the spacing between nugs on a cola. I saw about 1/4 lb of it and they had some nice size nugs in there, but also a good amount of lower nugs.


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.

Ammonia [ ] Earthy [2] Licorice [ ] Peach [ ]
Berry [ ] Floral [ ] Mango [ ] Pepper [ ]
Blueberry [ ] Fruit [ ] Meat [ ] Petroleum [ ]
Bubblegum [ ] Grape [ ] Melon [ ] Pine [ ]
Cedar [ ] Grapefruit[ ] Menthol [ ] Pineapple [ ]

Chocolate [ ] Hash [ ] Mold [ ] Skunk [ ]
Citrus [ ] Iron/Rust [ ] Musk [7] Spice [1]
Coconut [ ] Leather [ ] Nutmeg [ ] Strawberry[ ]
Coffee [ ] Lemon [4] Orange [ ] Vanilla [ ]

comment: very unique smell, somewhere between the scent of trainwreck funk minus the pine-sol, and the smell of a high school locker room/gym cleaned with pledge. Slightly woody smell to it when ya break it up, had a good sample here and it reaked inside and out.

7. Aroma: 8

Rate the aroma from 1-10 repulsive-delightful. Use freshly crumbled
bud for best results.


8. Seed content: 1

Rate seed content from 0-10 none-fully seeded.
comment: when i was purchasing this another customer noticed some premature seeds in the jar, upon breaking up my 1/8th oz i found three premature seeds in my nuggage.

3. Taste: 8

Rate your impression of the taste from 1-10 unpleasant-delicious.

Comment: Tastes a lot like the smell, really enjoyable, the smoke smells very much like the smell of the herb but 20 times stronger and sticks to everything in the room like full melt hash smoke does, even more so.

4. State of dryness: 7

Rate the dryness of the bud from 1-10 wet-dry where 5 is ideal.


5. smoke ability: 7

Rate the smoke ability of the sample from 1-10 harsh-smooth.

Coment: no throat irritation that i could notice, but it does snap very well and seemed to be leached for a week or so, judging by the greyish ash that it left behind when burned on top of a glass screen.


6. Smoke expansion: 7

Rate how the smoke expands in the lungs from 1-10 stable-explodes.
comment: almost as quick as it goes in your lungs, you want to cough it out, luckily it gets you blasted right off the bat so you dont waste anything. Very quick expansion in the lungs, feel like im arm wrestling them to hold it in sometimes - for some reason i like the expansion though because it doesnt make me cough a lot like most others that rapidly expand in your lungs. Even odder is that as i smoke this, i really build up a tolerance to the coughing, or at least learn how to hold the stuff in better.
