Seriously Happy
Strain review: Seriously Happy
3rd prize in the category: ‘Sativa / Grower’ at the IC-420 Cup 2015 in Amsterdam
Type: Sativa hybrid, F1-hybrid, Sativa/Indica Hybrid
Origin: Serious Seeds, Warlock x AK47, grown locally from seed
Medium: Hydroponic
Lights: LED
Grower: NLCC
8.0 / Appearance: Frost! Any more frost and it would be hard to see the buds under there! Not snowy, but the most frosty thing in my stash box at present. well, no, I just checked the 2nd sample of another strain and it seems to be at least equally frosted (but with an enticing reddish mottling!)
7.0 / Smell: Sweet and fruity, not overpowering, just inviting.
9.0 / Burn: It does.
8.5 / Taste: Ahhhhh…immediately struck by the richness, a smoke I want to hold on my tongue to savor the flavor. Very peppery as I might expect fr4om a good skunk.
7.0 / Exhale: smooth and easy but there is a cough lurking in the background, by the time I exhaled the high was already crawling up my face and peppercorns were dancing in my mouth.
8.7 / High: Immediate satisfaction, usually when something hits me this quick I expect it to taper off quickly…waiting…
9.0 / Manicure: Yea, tight, solid 9, I think the only way to hit 10 here would be for it to be manicured by naked virgins right in front of me.
(8.0)Overall: Yea, like I’m gonna try and do the statistical averaging after burning a bowl of this…I’m happy not to and just say the high seems to be building and by the time I finish editing the pictures and posting this I expect this initial happy might transform into a serious happy which is all I’m really hoping for in a good recreational smoke, but the pain in both brain and body seem to pleasantly retreating. I think this could climb up onto any top shelf and feel right at home.
(8.5) After action report: 30 minutes in and the mind high is pleasant, not feeling couch locked, body stone is very nice though. I almost feel like I could remember how to do algebraic calculations, not that I ever would. Only had to correct 3 words on proof reading, I could see this being a daily delight, certainly something to add to the rotation to keep from getting bored.
Northern Lights Special
STRAIN: Northern Lights Special TYPE: mostly an indica ORIGIN: KC Brains MEDIUM: Hydro NUTES: CLASSIFIED GROWER: NLCC - Northern Lights Cannabis Company APPEARANCE: Sparkly and tight SMELL: A little skunk on the break BURN: Quite nice white ash finish TASTE: Nothing unexpected from NL, sweet EXHALE: smooth and hard to capture because I keep coughing HIGH: Immediate interest, no creeper bullshit here, kind of like a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
MANICURE: Outstanding, as pro as they go. OVERALL: Northern Lights Special is indeed a special treat, the buds are hard, tight and beautiful. Great high, It took me several days to get this review done because I kept trying this stu8ff and then I'd wander off and do something else. Finally I sat down, rolled a joint and 12 hours and 10 minutes later here we are, a finished review, now if I could just remember how to post it.8/10

Shishkalicious
Strain review: Shishkalicious
Strain: Cannabis
Type: Sativa dom I think
Origin: Rescued
Medium: Potting soil
Lights: Alaska Sunlight then 400w HPS for bud.
Nutes: Water and Neem Oil, minimal general veg food.
Grower: Stoney Burke
Appearance: Like a small grove of bamboo
Smell: Amazing citrus smell on the vine, keeps a little citrus/skunk after curing
Burn: Fast and clean
Taste: Like hitting a bowl of tropical fruit!
Exhale: Please try and remember to do so
High: Smackdamnalicious
Manicure: I picked a few leaves off.
Overall: I would love to see what a real cultivator does with this quite excellent strain, but not being a huge producer it is not likely I’ll be seeing it in any serious quantity.
Valley Strain Report: Mango Tango v Purple Kush
The Mango Kush could be a great bud, I can see the popularity, the sample I got could use a little more time in my opinion as I’d like to see the trichomes cloudy to amber.
Nice crystals and the bud is tight and has a nice fruity aroma, and hits decent. standing alone it would rate quite well…but…
Afghan Purple Kush, the OG of OGs, the granddaddy from the Motherland. Bred in the Hindu Kush and deemed fine enough that God built his Holy Anointing oil around it. The bud is dense. Not overly resinous as it could well be but sticky. pealing open a layer to release fresh aroma is a thrill, it makes you want to press the oil out of it and pour it over your head…go into a small, dark holy of holies and hot box the shit out of it. Done right this is one of the finest smoking experiences known to man. This sample was almost done right…again, I think I would have waited a week or so…but it still does the job gangsta’ style. I know 4 people growing this strain and two of them are doing it well, this is the best sample I’ve seen, dirt grow, full organic, HPS lights and subsonic lullabies.
