Overall, it was an easy strain to grow. One of the phenos has a sweeter, more fruity smell, while the other pheno is more gas-forward (this was also the one that showed some herming at the beginning). Structuraly both phenos were pretty much identical, with the fruity one feeling slighty stickier. I’ll update this with more details once I’ve finished drying and curing and can properly test the final results. On the smoke side, this strain is absolute fire. I would describe the gassy pheno first. Dense buds, decent trichome coverage and good resine production: nothing surprising there. Break one open and the first thing that hits is diesel, raw, sour gas. Behind that, a floral note. Not sweet floral, more herbal, perfumed, something that competes with the gas instead of softening it. Pungent in the literal sense too, saturates the nose fast. On the exhale the diesel holds, the mint note shows up late, almost as an afterthought. Not much sweetness underneath, which sets it apart from the heavy cake-leaning profiles this cross is supposed to carry. Effect comes on slow, head clear at first, then a body relax that never quite tips into sedation but can be a bit fun at times.

Dense, closed structure. Hairy. Green dominant, very sticky to the touch, still carrying a bit of moisture, but already announcing itself before you even break it open. Pungent sweet at rest. Dry aroma: sweet, gas with cream up front. Underneath there is sulfur and skunk. Intensity of smell 9 out of 10. Complex but not scattered. Ground, it shifts. The skunk and gas take over, what was compact opens up into something more direct. Same profile, just louder. Lit, the skunk holds. Flavor goes sweet with an unexpected menthol note, arriving only with heat. Dense smoke, full-bodied, not harsh. Goes down clean. The onset is fast. Hits the forehead first with subtle pressure around the eyes, cerebral before anything else. Then the body settles in quietly underneath. Deep and comfortable, awake anf functional, but in a weird way. The kind of high that keeps you present without letting you be particularly useful. I think it would not be a daily smoke, but rather a special one. Special thanks to Growbude (Berlin) for the genetics recommendations.

Gray-green buds, dense, frosty. The kind of visual that doesn't shout but delivers on inspection. Dry aroma: sweet up front, a touch of citrus, and underneath it all a light gassy note that keeps things interesting. Pine/mint is there too, but blended in, not announcing itself. Intensity 8 out of 10. Loud but classy. Complex but not overwhelming. Ground and unlit, it stays true: sweet and gas, clean and direct. Flavor diverges a little from the nose, which is always a good sign. The entry has something earthy, then vanilla shows up unexpectedly and earns its place. Gas threads through the middle. The aftertaste is sweet, slightly cakey, and it lingers in a way that makes you pause between hits. The effect is substantial but not yet overwhelming. No anxiety, no couch lock. Vision slows down noticeably, like the world decided to drop a few frames per second, but the mind stays sharp and present. Aware of everything, processing clearly, maybe even a little too clearly. Functional, clean, with real potency behind it. Worth coming back to. Special thanks to Growbude (Berlin) for the recommendations.
