I have recently gotten a good hook-up for KB and I thought I'd start critiqueing the differant strains I have smoke thus far. If any of you have ever read the "Smokes Guide To Amsterdam" website it'll be in that style. I'll include the link at the bottom of this page since you guys should look through it. To me, it is the definitive guide on strains that are common in Amsterdam.
First strain:
"G-13" x Skunk x Shiska Berry
Cost: $65 for an 1/8, weighed out just a tad over if I remember correctly.
Appearance: Whispy, jutting greenery with alot of orange and red hairs. Trichromes are very visible and cover the bud. As I broke it up I noticed the there were many crystals on my fingers. This stuff would definatly produce some good Keif. I basically got two long buds that were about the length of my pinky. Then a small bud and a bit of shake.
Smell: Fruity, very fruity. Smelled like Fruit Punch that was a little heavy on cherries. Then asyou take your nose away from the bag you can definatly smell the strong skunk part of this stuff. When it burned you could smell kind of an Earthy, musty smell.
Taste: Tasted like berries with a very slight hint of citrus. This is definatly the best tasting strain I've had yet.
Effects: This stuff must defiantly be Sativa in genotype. I wanted to go out and play a game of basketball or spar with someone despite the fact that it was 30 degress and icy outside. I'll have to smoke some of this stuff and go to my local rec center for a game of 4 on 4 soon. This gear really puts your brain in over-drive.
Solaris
Cost: $55 for an Eighth. The price for "normal" KB around here. It's basically more potent then schwag and doesn't have seeds.
Appearance: Bright green with a decent amount of hairs. No trichromes. This stuff has probably been sifted before and stripped of all the goodies that can be made into Keif.
Smell: Nothing special really. Slight smell of pine and also the smell of one of those lint sheets from a dryer. Probably due to being recently transported.
Taste: Had somewhat of a licorice-esqe taste. Once again, nothing really out of the ordinary.
Effects: This stuff actually kinda caught me by suprise. I smoked a bowl of this stuff with my friend Chad and we we're playing Halo2. I noticed that my periphreal vision was very blurry and a couldn't wipe the grin off my face. It wasn't exactly an uplifting high but I didn't feel too zoinked out to move. I smoked a clove and that's when I started feeling a little but more glued to my chair. I dropped that heavy ass X-Box controller a few times, just out of the blue. Overall, I liked the high and I felt great with this stuff.
Brazillian Fire
Cost: $60 for an 1/8th, exactly 3.5 grams.
Appearance: Dark and nuggy with alot of fuzzy hairs and visible trichromes. This stuff looks like pieces of popcorny heaven.
Smell: Fruity, but that's because I put a small slice of Lemon in the jar with this stuff. It originally had a fruity smell but the lemon really set it off. It's kinda like chopping up a bunch of fruit and putting it in a bowl then smelling it.
Taste: This stuff doesn't taste like it smells, that's for sure. This stuff tastes straight up like chemicals. I had to take a drink of water but this stuff kinda tasted tart, definatly something I didn't expect.
Effects: Couchlock, just straight up couchlock. I couldn't move and I was compleatly content being where I was. Sitting on my couch instinctively switching channels until I found ESPN News. It pretty much didn't change after I saw some highlights of the Dunk contest tonight. I'm still really blizted and I realized I didn't write the review last night. This gear had me on my ass and in a daze. Good stuff though.
Antique Sativa
Cost: I bought an 1/8th, one gram of this, a Gram of Kahuna and a gram and a half of regular KB. It's ran me $65 but it was well worth it.
Appearance: Long skinny bud with small leafy things all over. In between there was alot of hairs but not much on the trichrome action.
Smell: I think that name fits it pretty well. This stuff smells pretty musty with a hint of spice to it. Once you grind this stuff up the must smell is heavily magnified, it seems to over power whatever spice smell there was to it.
Taste: I couldn't really taste this stuff since I had a cold. My friend said it did taste kinda spicy, like a really small drop of tobasco on his tounge. He was high though so I don't know if he was just BSin.
Effects: Couchlock. Wow, after a spliff of this stuff it felt like my face was melting. After staring at the T.V. for what seemed like years I had a crazy hankering for Burger King. I settled for homemade pizza though. This stit was definatly a heavy Sativa.
Kahuna
Cost: See above.
Appearance: Fat bud that was pretty solid and had lotsa fuzzy hairs all over the buds. I couldn't tell if they were trichromes, they didn't dust off like trichromes so I assume they were hairs. This stuff had a very deep green hue to it. Like mid-summer grass. Nice and sticky too. I could pick the bud up if I pressed down on it well enough.
Smell: PineSol anyone? The only thing this stuff smelled like was pine. It was crazy, I had to take a few more sniffs just to make sure someone wasn't fucking with me. Puzzling but I'm down with unique smelling weed. That can mean it's really good.
Taste: Pine/Chemical. When this stuff burned it gave off a thick strong smelling smoke. I hope no one sprayed something on this bud during the growing or transportation. The smoke didn't burn my lungs or anything so hopefully that's a good sign.
Effects: This gear had a very subtle high. Buzzing in the back of my head and lights seemed much brighter. I didn't feel strung out or anything but this stuff had me buzzing pretty good. I seemed to catch myself really getting into Halo 2 when I was smokin this stuff though.
Northen Light X Kahuna
Cost: Normall $70 for an 1/8 but I got it for $60 because it measured out to 2.7 grams which is a tad short.
Appearance: Several medium sized nuggets, whole shitload of trichromes and hairs. The greens were kind of dull colored. This stuff just looks great. Not much to say, wish I had a pic of this stuff.
Smell: This stuff smells like the bomb. When it's not cut up it smells fruity. I took some put it in a medicene bottle and cut it up with some scissors. This stuff smelled like pixie sticks. Strong fruity smell.
Taste: This stuff tasted like sugary fruit. The smoke was very smooth on my throat and the fruit taste lingered in the back of my throat for quite a while. I've never had bud with this defined of a taste. Usually bud tastes like a mix of many things but this stuff was definatly fruity. Best tasteing weed I've ever had.
Effects: This is the best bud I've ever had. To me, this stuff was my pinnacle of a high. It had a great balanced of being stoned but still buzzing and wanting to do something. I felt like I wanted to go play some basketball with this stuff but I'd probably just have fallen on my ass if I tried. This is easily the best bud I've smoked.
