well it's good to know that sova has its own dank goin around, I've heard nothing but bad things tbh (you guys have some gnarly headshops down there tho Kulture ftw!) I'm not surprised it's harsh, most afghani's are. that really earthy hashy kinda harsh taste I'm guessin? And it could also be due to a lack of flushing of course but I have no idea how your buddy runs his grow so I dunno.
