Purple Erkle waterhash smoke report

[Sauron The Blue]

Good quality hash, has a nice bubble to it and is about one step away from being full melt. If you were to put this on a screen and melt it down it would leave the slightest bit of ash on the screen, whereas a true full melt strain would dissolve right through and leave no ash on top of the screen.

For $30 a gram this is a good value as far as water hash goes. The prices for this strain of herb at the dispensaries are often in the $20 a gram range, so 50% more money for a lot more trichomes is a good deal to me.

There wasn't much smell to the hash at all, it had a faint concentrate smell to it, the kind of spicy musky smell you get from pressed hashes, kief, bubble etc.

Ive tried most all of the hashes I can find at dispensaries, its not too common to find a near full melt bubble for $30 a gram, quite a few places charge this much for their kief, which is often lacking in the stone department. Overall I was pleased with the taste and the quality of the hash itself, the stone could of been a little beefier for this bubble head - but it gets the job done fairly well in the midday.

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


1. Visual Appeal: 8
Rate the visual appeal of the buds from 1-10 unappealing-excellent.
Comment: Looks like some decent hash, doesnt have a strong shine to it like some of the best hashes I have come across, but one look at it and you can tell it is soft and easy to break apart.

2. Visible Trichomes: 7
Rate the visible trichome content from 1-10 none-totally covered.
Comment: Through the loupe there wasnt much contaminant in the sample, lots of glossy heads inside.

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: 0%
Cloudy: 100%
Amber: 0%
Dark: 0%


4. Mark with X the colors that are present in the hash or for a more detailed color analysis rate presence on a scale 1-9 light-dark.
Brown: 8
Gold: 2


5. Bud density: 8
Rate the hash texture from 1-10 airy-dense. For samples that are not in their natural state leave this field blank.
Comment: Good and cured hash, was probably fairly sticky at one point, but the time it has spent in the jar has left it in a great state. Nice and crumbly, makes lots of little balls of hash when you pick at it with a sharp instrument.

6. Use numbers 1-9 on descriptors that apply to the aroma of freshly broken hash where a one indicates a subtle presence and 9 indicates a pronounced presence.

Earthy [3]
Floral [4]
Hash [2]
Musk [4]



7. Aroma: 5
Rate the aroma from 1-10 repulsive-delightful. Use freshly crumbled bud for best results.
Comment: Not much smell to this, has a faint smell of concentrated bubble, slightly spicey and exotic smelling.



==================================================
THE SMOKE TEST
==================================================



Address these questions while smoking.


1. Please use a clean instrument for the evaluation. Enter information below that will identify the instrument as follows:
Water pipe (enter bong, hooka, bubbler etc): PHX bong
Vaporizer (enter the brand name):
Pipe (size-type, ie medium-glass):
Joint (enter brand of papers):
Other (specify):


2. Use numbers 1-9 on descriptors that apply to the taste where a one indicates a subtle presence and a
nine indicates a very pronounced presence.

Earthy [3]
Floral [1]
Hash [5]
Spice [4]



3. Taste: __[7]__
Rate your impression of the taste from 1-10 unpleasant-delicious.
Comment: Very pleasant to smoke this, has a smooth exotic taste that you associate with most good hash. A kind of dark foreign flavor that coats the inside of your mouth after each rip, you can smell this on your breath quite a while after smoke it. Not much flavor of the actual strain in this.


4. State of dryness: __[5]__
Rate the dryness from 1-10 wet-dry where 5 is ideal.
comment: Good quality in terms of dryness, no excess moisture and not overly dry with evaporated oils. Properly dried bubble should lightly crumble apart in your fingers with the slightest pressure, this is very close to ideal, taking slightly more pressure to crumble a pea sized bowl into a powdery consistency.


5. smoke ability: __[7]__
Rate the smoke ability of the sample from 1-10 harsh-smooth.
Comment: Very smooth and easy to rip, doesnt have a harsh bite to it as some lower quality bubble may.


6. Smoke expansion: __[8]__
Rate how the smoke expands in the lungs from 1-10 stable-explodes.
Comment: After a small bowl of this you can hold it in for a good while without any irritation in the throat or lungs, upon the exhale some less experienced users may feel their lungs expanding. I personally didnt have any problems with this and could smoke large amounts of it straight without any issues.


1. __[2 hits / .1g max ]__ Dosage
Enter the number of hits taken to reach desired effects.
Comment: One hit would be sufficient for you to medicate towards the end of the day, two hits and you can expect some heavy eyelids and slower reaction times.

2. __[6]__ Effect onset
Rate how quickly the effect hit from 1-10 immediate-major creeper.
comment: Takes about five to ten minutes before you feel the full effects of this one. Builds up for about ten minutes, if you smoked a few bowls of it your heart might get racier but you will still feel the indica overpower this, which might make some people feel uncomfortable.

3. __[3]__ Sativa influence
Rate the sativa influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Sativa influence is best described as a clear and energetic mental effect.
comment: There is a slight soaring high to this but it is very short lived and not that intense. Strong enough to change your thought process and make you get sidetracked.

4. __[7]__ Indica influence
Rate the indica influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Indica influence is best described as a sedative, lethargic or numbing effect that affects the body.
comment: Stronger indica effect than sativa effect, has a good tendency to make most users feel the same effects. Not too many users report any variation in the effects from the erkle bubble, though there seem to be a few people who arent heavy users who dont seem to be too effected by this stuff, which goes hand in hand with the erkle flowers.

5. __[7.5]__ Potency
Rate the potency of the sample from 0-10 none-devastating.
comment: good potency but far from devastating, the high is lackluster and some would even call it boring. This is late night sleeper stuff, but doesnt really have the punch that some stronger indicas have when concentrated. All around this would be a good hash to smoke every evening, it is good in every category but fails to stand out from the others.


6. __[1.5 hours]__ Duration
Indicate the duration of time that the effects lasted.
comment: builds up over ten minutes time, peak lasts for about thirty minutes, then it trails off for the next forty five minutes.


7. __[7]__ Tolerance build up
Rate how quickly tolerance builds from 0-10 none-rapid. Leave this field blank if you have not used this sample repeatedly.


8. Usability
Rate on a scale of 1-9 where a one indicates the worst time of day to consume this strain and a nine represents the ideal time of day.
Leave field(s) blank if you have not yet formed an opinion.

Morning - wake up [ ]
Day - work [7]
Evening - relax [5]
Night - sleep [ ]


9. __[7.5]__ Overall satisfaction
Rate your overall satisfaction from 1-10 poor-Holy Grail.


10. __[9]__ Ability and conditions
Ability to judge the sample and the conditions in which it is judged 0-10 newb-head


11.Judging from the sample alone do you personally consider this
strain a keeper for long term use?

Yes [X]
No [ ]

FINAL COMMENTS:

If you were to put this on a screen and melt it down it would leave the slightest bit of ash on the screen, whereas a true full melt strain would dissolve right through and leave no ash on top of the screen.

For $30 a gram this is a good value as far as water hash goes. The prices for this strain of herb at the dispensaries are often in the $20 a gram range, so 50% more money for a lot more trichomes is a good deal to me.

Ive tried most all of the hashes I can find at dispensaries, its not too common to find a near full melt bubble for $30 a gram, quite a few places charge this much for their kief, which is often lacking in the stone department. Overall I was pleased with the taste and the quality of the hash itself, the stone could of been a little beefier for this bubble head - but it gets the job done fairly well in the midday.
