I liked how this was a good balance of sativa and indica, both fairly strong in potency. This might not be the tastiest kush i have tried but it is one of the better choices for an afterwork smoke. if you smoke a few bowls of it, there is a good up head rush at first and that fades down after about 15 mins, then over the next hour or so the indica just builds up and up and up. not too strong to knock you out and wont have you forgetting where you are. however smoke a few more bowls of it and you might just find yourself waking up a few hours later and looking at the clock wondering if its am or pm.

The taste of it was pretty bland, like a flat og. Could of used a little more bite in this department. The smell of it on the other hand is fantastic, that strong OG smell with a good bit of spice and amonia to it, there is also a slight hint of black licorice in the background of it.

Texture of it was great, good and sticky, not too dense. Nothing overly dry or brittle about it, i think it would make better weed for a bong rather than a joint however. The calyx to leaf ratio is good but not as good as the chemdawg samples ive seen/tried. Good crystal coverage on it but the heads are small and many.

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


1. Visual Appeal: 8
Rate the visual appeal of the buds from 1-10 unappealing-excellent.
Comment: nice lookin nugs, good and chunky, lots of places sell these small lil peanut sized nugs of this stuff, but i found a jar full of walnut sized nugs and even some approaching the size of brazil nuts. Nice lookin stuff, looks like it has a good shine to it on the trichs, must have good oil content inside them thar trichome heads.

2. Visible Trichomes: 8
Rate the visible trichome content from 1-10 none-totally covered.
Comment: good frost inside and out, nice solid trichome heads, though they are smaller than avg, there is thorough coverage over every surface of plant matter.

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: 95%
Amber: 5%
Dark: 0%


4. Mark with X the colors that are present in the buds or for a more detailed color analysis rate presence on a scale 1-9 light-dark.
Brown:
Green: 5
Gold:
Blue:
Grey:
White: 2 lots of small trich heads
Red:
Rust:
Orange: 2 a few pale orange pistils
Purple:
Black:


5. Bud density: 6
Rate the bud density from 1-10 airy-dense. For samples that are
not in their natural state leave this field blank.
Comment: reminds me of a good resiny strain, all the oil content in the heads makes for a sticky mess when you break it down. then kind that when ya break it down your fingertips are left coated in sticky finger hash and the lil calyx stick to everything


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

Ammonia [2] Earthy [ ] Licorice [2] Peach [ ]
Berry [ ] Floral [ ]] Mango [ ] Pepper [ ]
Blueberry [ ] Fruit [ ] Meat [ ] Petroleum/Fuel [ ]
Bubblegum [ ] Grape [ ] Melon [ ] Pine-sol [ ]
Cedar [ ] Grapefruit[ ] Menthol [ ] Pineapple [ ]

Chocolate [ ] Hash [2] Mold [ ] Skunk [ ]
Citrus [ ] Iron/Rust [ ] Musk [6] Spice [6]
Coconut [ ] Leather [ ] Nutmeg [ ] Strawberry[ ]
Coffee [ ] Lemon [ ] Orange [ ] Vanilla [ ]


7. Aroma: 8.5
Rate the aroma from 1-10 repulsive-delightful. Use freshly crumbled bud for best results.
Comment: gotta love them kushes, in their own little smelly world. strong musky smell that reminds me of OG, the diff between this and chemdawg is the lack of strong astringent fuel smell. The chemdawg will smell astringent but a little different than diesel, it is very overpowering, this is much more funky like the OG, a mix of ammonia and black licorice.

8. Seed content: 0
Rate seed content from 0-10 none-fully seeded.
