Heres the report:

I enjoyed this pot, very good sativa effects to it when you get 3-4 bowls into it, just one or two bowls and it is very very mild, there is a point where is just whacks me in the face. I smoked three bowls over the period of an hour, and three over the period of about two minutes, and the last bowl is the one that does it for you. It has the kind of soaring high that comes in waves, almost like an on and on, thats the only thing I dont like about it. I would really like it to stay blasting me to the moon for 30 minutes straight than to come and go over 45 mins to an hour. Not much indica effects to it, when the racy part is going away you feel really hazy almost cloudy feeling, can get confused very easily. I can cut through the high easily, ie if someone knocked on the door when you were high as you can get on this you would immediatly snap out of it. Dont get me wrong it is not an OVERpowering sativa, though it is very powerful. I find the headband to be much much racier than this and needs far fewer bowls to get to that eyes popping out of your head feeling.

The smell of it is fantastic! smells just like the diesel that is in chocolate diesel, very spicey fruity astringent fuel with that smell that you just know is going to get you HIGH not stoned. I loved herb that makes you stop and smell it ten times and go what in the world is that smell!!! this herb does that, i would love to have smelled this not knowing what kush or diesel smell like, as it would be totally undescribable then. A perfect blend of fuel, spices and musky funk.

Taste is great, doesnt have the spicey diesel smell in the taste, but it has a very long lasting diesel aftertaste that is sure to please the pickiest pallates. On the first breath it is very kush tasting, but it fades slowly to the diesel i mentioned earlier.

Great daytime pot, not strong enough to be my morning get-outta-bed gear but it is close, so I will put it in there as a keeper for daytime use, I wouldnt keep it if it didnt have this smell to accompany the stone, and believe you me, i never thought the day would come I would say that!

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


1. Visual Appeal: 6
Rate the visual appeal of the buds from 1-10 unappealing-excellent.
comment: Slightly airy look to it, has a few sugar leaves on it still that I would of trimmed off before selling it, but they are very frosty regardless.

2. Visible Trichomes: 7.5
Rate the visible trichome content from 1-10 none-totally covered.
comment: small satvia trichome heads, very sparkly but they are so small I can barely see the heads with the naked eye.

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: 20%
Cloudy: 80%
Amber: 0%
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: 4
Gold:
Blue:
Grey: 2
White:
Red:
Rust:
Orange: 1 a few orange pistils
Purple:
Black:


5. Bud density: 4.5
Rate the bud density from 1-10 airy-dense. For samples that are
not in their natural state leave this field blank.
comment: Light nugs that are easy to break up, Can easily crumble this up in one hand to make enough filler for a joint, not as dense and sticky on the inside as some of the other kushes I have come across, more like a diesel ime.

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 [ ] Earthy [ ] Licorice [5] Peach [ ]
Berry [ ] Floral [ ] Mango [ ] Pepper [ ]

Bubblegum [ ] Grape [ ] Melon [ ] Pine-sol [ ]

7. Aroma: 9.5

Rate the aroma from 1-10 repulsive-delightful. Use freshly crumbled
bud for best results.
comment: Gotta love this smell, a perfect mix of STRONG OG kush and a very very sickly sweet smelling diesel. There must be one type of D that smells totally different from others, I have it in my chocolate diesel, it smells like exotic tangerines with fuel, that is the diesel that is in this strain as well. Everyone who has smelled my chocolate diesel has fallen in love with the uniquely citrus diesel smell, that is exactly the smell that is in this one on the diesel smelling side.

wow im in new york and have been gettng that same exact weed this past week or 2. Supposdley it was from mendo county and it's called sour kush, EXACT SAME WEED, im looking at it right now. 450 an O, I got a 1/4 for 115. I really like it , not as an intesnse as sage n sour and not as much a knockout as some straight kush but its some real good stuff. 100 percent no doubt about it the same stuff, thats crazy.
 
Yeah that is pretty funny, as the same place has sage n sour often as well. Whats even funnier is all the way across the country in New York he still gets charged less than they sell it at the california medical marijuana dispensaries to medical marijuana patients!

Your description of it sounds pretty good too, does the sage in your area look anything like this: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=60632
Thanks
