This nug came into town along with some other fine, 100% organic strains in a one-time only veritable ganja-fest in which I also accrued samples of Trainwreck, NYCDxG13, Bubba Kush, SoCal Bubbleberry, and Super Silver Haze.
It should be mentioned that as these were actually someone else's nugs I didn't take off the leaves that the grower left on, though it would have made better pictures.
Compared to those other strains, SCHROM's physical form wasn't quite as classic bag-appealing as the others: Wiry, lean nug spears that were rather dense. The SCHROM nugs seemed moist, but they were just well-cured and almost rubbery in nature. This led quite a few in my group to pass on them, but they regretted that decision later.
The smell of the SCHROM is intense and off-putting. Its surely not the smell most people are looking for when they buy expensive pot: hard to categorize between fruity or spicy. The guy I got it from said "tequila" which i'm inclined to believe, though I might say its also like a good single-malt scotch. The intense, peppery medicinal quality of both of those liquors comes to mind. Big, bizarre sativa weediness: dandelions, nettles, crushed herbs. Slight rubberiness.
The smoke tastes oily, and comes out of your mouth like a spicy expando fireball. Coughing seems unavoidable, though a cured butteriness comes through too. High is initially potent to the point where you rip a big toke and think "uh oh", but it doesn't waste you completely. Evenly placed between the wandering deepness of the mind and the kick-you-in-the-chest weight behind your face. No instant 'sleep' desire reflexes, which i'm thankful for. The mild stomache-ache of sativa-influenced anxiety. Not a good before-bed strain at all! Slight glimpses of the headache I associate with some strains but it never develops.
Nice level of satisfaction with this herb. You get severely stoned, both in the head and body, but you don't have the knee-jerk reaction to smoke more like with some strains.
Overall SCHROM walks the fine line between heavy-duty stoniness and intense mind-expanding headiness without being too much of either...just a delightful - and potent - brain-fuck that lingers for hours. Just a lovely buzz. And the weird smell and flavor just adds to the enjoyment. The oily medicine shop smell lingers on your lips and fingers for the rest of the day.
