SMOKE TEST COMMENTS:

Taste:

I’m not the guy to ask when it comes to taste – It has a nice taste – but I don’t feel any special aroma when I smoke her



EFFECT:
I’m a daily smoker – so Tolerance means a lot to me…
I had bed experience with all kind of weed that I couldn’t stand their high after smoking them for a week.
I’ve being smoking my HS for more then 2.5 months now.
I had her in all kind of forms – from fresh pre-harvest snacks to well cured buds
Joints, bong and vaporizer.

The high is
Energetic and stimulating - I had several sleepless night because of this plant –
Few times I came home at 9pm dead tired, 3 HS hits and next thing I know it is 4pm and I didn’t got a nap yet – definitely a day time smoke unless you want to party all nigh long.
A good contra to a couch-locking indicia

Not confusing – you can still focus and work, sometimes it can induce creativity
–however you better have a list of TODO before you smoke otherwise you’ll find yourself staring at the ceiling and surfing your thoughts.

Not much of a body stoner – mostly cerebral, I had some side effects in my jaws that reminded me of the time I was young and did LSD.

A friend of mine who is an indica addict had this feeling of “Am I high or not?” althought he also admits that when he did feel the high it was a very strong one.
There is something very cheerful in the HS high – it makes me feel happy and that I’m having fun.

Lots of strains makes me feel paranoia and anxiety – the HS also has such an aspect … But since most of the high is cheerful I found it easy to make the troubling thoughts go away or even laugh at them.

For a while the HS was my only smoke – I’ve being smoking it day and night for few weeks.
After 3 weeks I was craving for my “The Church” to finish – the HS intense sativa high made me feel psychotic.
Since then HS is not my daily smoke – I stay away from it at nights and make sure to let my mind relax with a nice couch locking high when the HS buzz becomes too intense.

I remember smoking a HS during my first stay in A'dam. It was one of the most expensive buds on a menu at greenhouse coffee shop. i rolled a little one which we smoked with my buddy sitting on a bench looking at a gracht. It was a one of the best weed I've ever smoked there. for first like 30minutes we were really high laughing all the way and then a really strong couchlock came upon us.
By your report it looks in seed form it's also pretty decent strain. Nice plant you've got there!

I guess that they just don't want them out.. they don't sale any male from any strain...
Anyway I a beginner and growing the HS was easy. she was a very forgiving plant.

Have two sealed 10 packs of these in regular male/female form at 35F in fridge, they came from Gypsy they are the round disc packs and are non-colored seeds. When they get run it's gonna be a full seed crop first will make as many as humanly possible using all the healthy males found on different females. I promise, the Cannabis community has my word! :canabis:

fatass - what a great smoke report, absolutely fantastic descriptions and pictures. Thank you, and good job on that plant it looks very well grown. :respect:

Very complete report FatAss thanks so much, I also have one of these Fem seeds and now I'll know what to expect when I pop her!

You're going to enjoy her so much!!!
Now I've got the-church, Ah1, AUH2 and recently I've also smoked for a while SSH & SLH.
But nothing compares to the HS... the SLH is a goos match but the HS is much more plesent.
I'm going to get some more beans start a grwoing session of 2 plants in my tiny tent

Hi fatass, great smoke report and review of the HS. I've been growing it for the last 6 months and currently have 15 in flower. Mine have an oniony smell to the growing and harvested buds, but all in all I find it to be a low odor strain. Good luck on your future grows.
