Hawkbo: Rhino Ryder

The Ryder is a very good strain in my opinion one of the best fastbuds has to offer. It grows vigorously into a large plant that produces an array of frosty, potent buds that are rock solid. It has a unique smell to it kind of spicey with a creamy scent mixed in. It is one of the stronger smelling strains I have grown and also one of my favorites on the nose. Weirdly the untrained plant yielded more than the topped one likely because of the deficiencies of the big one. The smoke is balanced, it doesnt bring you too far up or down and the balance can vary depending on when you decide to harvest. The buds came out 8/10 dense. The bud structure varied, the trained one came out 9/10 and the untrained one 7/10. I loved the blue and purple tint that came thru on the head nugs of the untrained one. I would recommend defoliation as the lowers were a little soft on one of them. It is still curing so if anything noticeable changes I will update as I've only smoked it twice. 3.5g was taken from each plant for sampling as trimming took forever it was difficult to keep everything together and organized and I gave some to a friend. I will be growing this one again at some point and would reccomend to anyone interested in the FB line up.
