This pot is a very nice one. I really enjoy the smell and flavor of the buds. There is a touch of skunk or affy in the linage of this somewhere. Not a strong bag reek, but a pleasurable sniff of a bag. Another story when a bud is squeezed. Very nice, strong, intoxicating aroma.

Bag appeal is top shelf. Buds are very tight and colorful.
This strain has resin…lots of resin. Even when the buds are dry past optimum, they do not crumble because of all the sticky resin. I will normally tag this type of weed as “scissor dope”. Works up very nicely after a quick shave from the bud.

This pot would sell for whatever top shelf is bringing.
It is also one that you will be glad to have around.

The best part about this weed to me is the rush. A fresh bowl of this will bring on 2-3 very nice rush hits if you corner the bowl. Increased heart rate, heating of face, chest, and arms. Not unpleasant at all though. I haven’t tried it, but I get the feeling that standing up while peaking would be a mistake. I suspect stars.
This is also an expander. You want to watch your draw. A big long bong hit would probably send me into a coughing fit and convulsions. But, if you want that rush….

After awhile the buzz mellows out somewhat and you come down real nice.
I really like this weed.

I'd show dried nugs, but my camera sucks ass.
The pic that the breeder gives is a spot on perfect representation of the finished product.

The purple cures out to a rust color.
The calyx's were swollen almost to the point of rupture, as you can see in the large pic with the purple leaves.
Top tails really spiral on this plant.
Plants pictured went ~60 days @ 1.5oz dried ea.
400wCMH w/150HPS supplement in a vertical tube.

Thanks Hoosier I've been waiting for a smoke report! I'm really glad to see this has an upbeat high like described. I too will go for the cough hit! :muahaha:

I'll be getting my hands on some of these beans soon, if our mail system works.

Thanks for the report!

You won't be disappointed, obZen. Very nice pot. My favorite at the moment.
Hidden treasure that more would grow if they had a chance to smoke it.
I think many are put off because the breeder won't provide linage.
It's a keeper for any garden, IMO.
