rolanterroy's Tibetan Gold

Guest

Tibetan Gold (rolanterroy)
Grown organically in soil.

Region : S.E. Asian, Tibet
Type : Sativa/Indica indoor/outdoor
Origin : Tibet, to old buddy, to rolanterroy
Breeder : IBL/Cultivar
Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks





Bag Appeal: (3.75) Nothing too spectacular, but definitely teeming with crystals. Obviously quality buds and what you might expect from someone with good growing skills. The standout characteristic for me was the texture... the bud was definitely solid and tight, but it had a velvety texture and was delicate. Not sure how to explain it, but each time I broke some up it would crumble.

Aroma: (4.75) Rolan sent this stuff to me using an obviously bomber method that he said he has used numerous times without a problem... but when I pulled the package out of my mailbox and waved it under my nose, I smelled it instantly. Very pungent with that typical kind bud smell of sweetness combined with cat piss... but the Tibetan Gold throws in this natural gas smell that really has a bite to it. That's where the 4.75 aroma score comes from... everyone that smelled this stuff went, "Woh-- fuel."

Flavor: (4.00) Hashy with a little bit of sweetness and an unmistakable floral taste. Not floral like perfume but floral like you were sitting next to a vase of fresh cut flowers. And yes, I do mean that it tasted the way flowers smell. I know that makes no sense, but what can ya do? he he. With a good 90-day cure, I think this score would be higher.

Effect(4.75) I loved the high from this stuff! I would almost say that if I could only smoke one plant for the rest of my life, this would be the one... except that it's almost too potent for me. It's great if you wanna knock your damn socks off like I did last weekend over the holidays... but if all I had in my stash was the Tibetan Gold, well I don't always want to be that high!

Duration(5.0) I've never been so high for so long. Again, it was a good thing because it was the holidays and I had plenty of leisure time without much to do. But if you smoke this stuff at 9 am, be prepared to still be feeling the effects well after lunch. I smoked at 10 am the first day, rode my ass off for 2 hours, came home, showered, ate a huge meal and then watched The Big Lebowski and wasn't down off the high until the credits rolled. What is that? Like 5 hours? Whew!

The high for me was a really easy take-off and then a loooong smooth ride. At first I thought it was like a roller coaster climbing that first big hill... but the ride isn't that wild. Then I realized that it's more like a train. A big ol' freight train that takes a little bit to build up speed and then gets up to a speed that's just a little too fast, just enough to keep your attention. Then it takes miles and miles to slow the thing down.

Overall Rating:( 5 being perfect weed) 4.45

...................................................................

Now, I think that score is misleading. First, because my sample didn't really get a proper cure- maybe a couple weeks at most and that would likely bump the flavor score up a bit. And secondly, because bag appeal only matters to those who are buying/selling. This stuff doesn't look nearly as good as it is... and if you're concerned with impressing your people, the solution is simple: Just sit down with them and smoke a bowl. Problem solved.

Dam Canine, those buds look yummy. What are you talking about, they do'nt have bag appeal? I can see crystals poping out all over the place. Anyhow, most landrace genetics won't have too much bag appeal. But when you cross them out to another pure genetics, then you will have some huge, crystally, bag appealing buds. Nice smoke report btw.

Peace,

TT

Yeah, you're absolutely right. That plate full of buds has major bag appeal... I was just going off of the one bud I rec'd in the mail (as part of a bean contest). I'm sure that by the time it reached me in the required stealthy packaging, it lost a lot of its bag appeal.

thanks for posting over here canine! truly you are a beacon of kindness....

i think the bag appeal has more to do with those "electric" colours. not that there aren't lots of xls on the buds, but there is just something about the contrast of colours between the cranberry-red pistils and the sharply-manicured fluorescent-lime-green leaflets that produces a mesmerizing effect.

O how i love to evaluate Cannabis.....-kind regards from the guineapig :friends:

Well, shoot... you're damn good at it, friend. Yeppers!

Thanks for the kind words... but you're way off base. I'm a real shithead in actuality. ;)

I asked rolan about the bud he sent and he confirmed that it had ZERO cure. Clipped it, dried it, sent it. If that's the case, this stuff will be absotively off the charts in the taste, smoothness and aroma departments with a good cure!

The high is there. The 4-5 hour legs are there. The bag appeal is there, even though my report wasn't able to reflect it. Fast finisher, too. I think it ended up being under 8 weeks. One week into bloom the stuff was covered in trichs, too. It's a winner, no doubt.

i think most people are used to a 0-10 scale for smoke reports, that's probably why the questions heheh, look like some nice smoke to me man.

The report is good, makes me want to have some right now. The numbering system dosen't matter. It's the trip it takes you through that most important. Thank you for your fine effort.

I can see where the confusion might come from. Nothing a little math can't fix. :)

Blue Rhino x Tibetan Gold aka Blue Dragon, are in the works. Just a few more weeks. I, for one, am all over that.

Glad you all enjoyed. I did, too. My first smoke report. Next one will be 100 words or less. heh heh.

Sounds wonderful, Canine! I've never had any luck contacting these folks, but their strains sound great. You're lucky to have gotten in when you did!

The genetics are still available, it's just been forced underground with the most recent gang-raping of the cannabis community.

Thank you.
It's a special strain. I currently have several Blue Rhino x Tibetan Gold plants outdoors. We'll see how they turn out. Should be a really fast finisher with some serious resin.
