Peak 19 smoke report

[Sauron The Blue]

Made a trip up to Oakland, California to checkout Harborside dispensary the other day, had lots of treats to try. Here is some peak 19 I found up there, heard a lot about it on here so figured id give it a go @ 55 1/8th oz:

Good daytime smoke with a light sweet tropical smell to it. This herb was grown fairly well and had most of the characteristics the strain would have, but I could expect it to smell or taste a bit stronger. I liked how the high from it was well balances with sativa and indica, I had originally read that the peak was very sativa and a racy overpowering high, which I didnt see here. It lasted me a good while the times i sampled it this last week, most would last about an hour max on me and this still had the peak feeling an hour after, and the effects dying down as it went on over the next hour or so.

I would call it a keeper if it had a little something more to it, in its current form it doesnt stand out as that spectacular to me, it looks nice and frosty and has a friendly texture and is very inviting. Even if you didnt feel like you needed a bowl and saw it packed there you might catch yourself smokin it just for a lil taster. If i smoked blunts or joints all day long this would be the choice filler.

Smell of pineapples and tropical fruit is there, but it is fairly faint. I would like to see it grown in soil under some heavy wattage to see how she comes out. THe taste didnt carry much of the smell, I enjoyed the flavor though, very smooth and almost had a cream aftertaste to it.

Peak 19

Peak 19

I had some Peak 19 about a year and a half ago, and I remember it being strong and potent. I wanted to get more, but they ran out at one of the cooperatives up here in Arcata.

I haven't seen it since, but they do have seeds at this link: https://www.seedboutique.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=86
