Strain
The variation between phenos was a bit surprising for this being an F4 but at the end of the day both ended up true to the namesake strain. The bigger of the two gave me 8oz of dense purple buds that smell like a dessert and the smaller of the two yielded 2.87ox. The smaller pheno gave me mostly green buds with a pink hue and an earthy more kush-like smell.
For me, how she performs on the press is everything and this one was a bit of a disappointment. So far, I've been unable to achieve anything more than 16-17% return. Typically with most Mephisto strains i see 20-25% average rosin return on my flower. That being said, the extract she produces are top notch. The purple pheno rosin is runny and hard to collect but retains all of that lovely berry terp profile. The pink pheno yielded a waxy rosin that was very easy to collect and had a kush-y sandalwood and earth flavor.
