Black Gum 2019 (I)

Here we go, a review of Original Sensible Seeds: BlackGum. Pretty great overall! After a couple poor grows or complete failures it feels good to get back with a harvest I am happy with, and also really enjoy the strain too. First, the early life was rough. It had a little trouble with irrigation (of course, with me), and fungus gnats. It also got treated when other plants had spider mites. It always rebounded and filled out, easily replacing damaged leaf matter. Not over the top vigorous, but clearly durable enough to survive some harsh environment. Second, the fatal flaw with this plant (still) was overnuting in flower. This plant was one of the least damaged of a batch as I realized I had strongly amended the soil, giving too little time and feeding too much nitrogen in flower. BlackGum worked out, but it tempered the expectations and final product. It still was quite veggie and had a ton of leaf matter. Here comes the great news, the aromas are fantastic. The smells are sweet with a sour or fuel tone and a musty or dank undertone. Great solo. Also, a really nice mixer weed comparable to Strawberry Cough, one of my favourites. The potency is good. Middle to high indica effect, and I find it makes me tired more then any other effect. I don’t mind this, I love indica. Really satisfying being able to gift this out to family and friends and hear the positive comments. Really excited to have a clone on the go and a repeat experience. I want to enhance and better that experience!
