Strain
I'm going to break this down into different categories to come up with the final rating which will be an average of the category scores with fractions rounded to the nearest whole number.
Bud Density: 5
Trimming: 9
Speed: 6
Scent: 9
Flavor: 6
Effects: 8
Bud Density is very important. Unfortunately, all three of the phenos I grew came up short in this category. They sure look nice in the pictures, but the nugs were fluffy and light on weight. Bud density leads to bag appeal so the final product isn't all that pretty.
Trimming is personally important to me. I refer to it as "Trim jail". It bugs me to have a plant that requires a lot of labor to clean up during harvest. All three of these phenos were easy to trim. In addition, they didn't have much foliation which required less maintenance on my part during the grow.
Speed is a factor that is very important to me. I try my best to maximize harvests using efficiency and planning practices. The strain is advertised as being done in roughly 8 weeks or 56 days. Two of the phenos took 78 days whereas the last one took 96 days. Had these taken only 56 days I would be 14 days away from an additional harvest.
After visually inspecting I took a big sniff of the dried, cured buds. They have a very pleasant aroma. I've smelled this same aroma on other purple strains. It is a mix between berry and floral with a hint of gas.
I ground up a couple of nugs and packed a king size cone. I still can't really detect any noticeable flavor. It's pretty bland and earthy. It's neither bad or good in my opinion.
The effects are felt within a few minutes after the first toke. It leaves you feeling calm and relaxed. At the same time it does not make you sleepy. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a task that needs a lot of focus. It definitely makes my mind drift away into daydreams. Perfect for a sunny afternoon when you have nothing to do.
Final thoughts: I topped 2 of these plants. One of them had the largest yield at 47.4 grams. The other two phenos were 57 grams combined.
