Odissey

A classic.

My go to for strong plants with little effort. I may try organic next though!

This is a good tent with good reflectivity and it feels sturdy.

I am absolutely in love with this strain. Just thinking about it awakens the excited little kid in me. I sampled some larfy buds from the bottom and mixed in an hemp blunt with the kief I got from leaves (fan leaves!!). Upon inhale, I let a very smooth, thick cloud permeate my mouth and then inhaled it down with no resistance on throat whatsoever. On the exhale, a main tone of sour apple was apparent, like that of a fresh granny smith. Secondary notes of lemon and basil made for a very interesting and mouth watering aroma. After the blue dream and the mexican, I would not have believed that I was yet to find a new favorite. As a sativa lover, I expected the perfect high could only possibly come from the perfect sativa. Yet, I was kindly surprised that the answer may lie somewhere in the middle. A true refined hybrid. With its sativa dominance, you will feel a colored high that has no ceiling, getting higher and higher into the stratosphere. However, it carries you in a confortable pillow through the voyage. Ideas will flow like a coursing river, wrapped in a blanket of pure euphoria and blissfulness. This strain shows no boundaries in how many ways it can make you feel good. This will bring out the comedian in you, inspiring a plethora of funny thoughts and jokes, smashing any grim feeling you may have had before consuming. Even though this is the most potent strain I have tried from FastBuds so far, I would consider it suitable  for begginers since she will not test you with anxiety inducing thoughts or paranoia. Its indica side will shine after you indulge more or after 1-2 hours. I am a sativa lover like I said, but the body high on this girl far surpasses the typical sedation you get with some strains. With each toke you will feel an intense tingling wave of relaxation washing through your body, after which it will take a mind of its own pleasing you with unique sensations all over. At this point, your mind is on the clouds while your body is in heaven. This relaxing state encourages you to go even deeper into the trip. Yesterday I tried it on the mighty. Here the flavor profile is slightly different: while the core is still apple, here there are clear undertones of cinnamon and pepper. The set and setting could have paved the floor for a different high, but to my surprise, I was instantly hit with relaxation and body sensations, as if someone opened a dam and a massive wave of cozyness engulfed my body. I was still high mentally, but since I was laying down, I could feel myself seeking deeper and deeper into the bed until I finally was in this on and off nearly asleep stage. It was very pleasing and extremely relaxing. Overall, this sample was from lower buds and straight out of the plant as soon as it finished drying. Nonetheless, I could not be more surprised with the sheer quality of smoke and most of all the high. She was the only one to show no signs of root rot in an infected room where 6 plants died nearly at birth and even an adult one passed on. Any beginner could grow this and any experienced connoisseur will find a unique specimen that will leave you wondering why you have not planted more seeds. I will update after a 3 month cure. If I can refrain from consuming it all that is!

Always delivers. Roots everywhere!

TLDR: Fantastic hardy plant that yielded generously and with an amazing spiritual, euphoric high and mango aroma. I am of the opinion that a great plant such as cannabis should be honored with an in depth voyage through the realms of of the high it has to offer. I am very disappointed by reviews like "heady stuff", or "nice sativa high" or even "relaxing weed". Please, even if you are a casual consumer, at least once consume a medium-high or high dose and lay down in complete darkness. What are the physical sensations you are experiencing? Do you feel a tingling sensation throughout your members? Do you feel like your body is floating? What about the high? Is frenetic imagery coming to your mind? Do you feel like you are traveling to distant worlds? Do this next time you consume and I promise your appreciation for this amazing plant will increase significantly. Anyway, into my experience with this strain. This has been an exciting ride. From the liftoff to arriving at Mexican lands at last, it was a delightful journey. But the real ride was about to begin. There is a clear pine scent now that the buds are dry. The mango tone has weakened down a bit. I take a hit in my Mighty and I definitely feel the pine inital hit, but surprisingly, the mango aroma overtakes by the end of the exhale. It is really quite impressive the similarities between a not quite ripe freshly cut mango and this, uncanny! In the beginning of the hit, I felt a general "at-ease" feeling, washing away any tension and improving the mood. At 10 mins in, I start to think this is a very pleasant high but not quite as potent as I would like. At 15 mins in I feel a very intense comeup, like the come up on very strong edibles (or something more... Fungy), and I feel my body increasing exponentially in frequency, overwhelmed by feelings of love and spaciness of the mind. I listen to the new album of Simon Posford (a genius musician at the core of my absolute all time favorite band: Shpongle. Seriously, take some great cannabis, preferably sativa, and listen to a Shpongle album with good headphones in complete darkness), and the details that were before going completely over my head now become extremely noticeable and a landscape of imagery and concepts flood my mind. I then decided to write this review and it just flowed completely through me without any hesitance, so I can imagine this being used for clearing away a writer's block! Overall, this bud was larf and not even cured for a single day. Still, it left not a positive, but quite a remarkable impression, not only by its scent and aroma, but by the beautiful high that does not bite you in the ass no matter how up in the sky you are. A second bowl followed. The vapor is thick and flavourful. The beggining is sublime and once again a period of intense comeup sets in. At this point I am listening to Juggling molecules by Shpongle, and a very spiritual high goes hand in hand with the music in perfect harmony. I had a trip a few months ago where I was hinted there is something I was meant to be in this world, but for months I searched for what exactly was this person or thing I was meant to be and found nothing. At the midst of this well crafted sativa high, I am sent back to this previous realization and the sentence is completed. I figured out what the answer is! I am grateful for the opportunity to grow such a beautiful plant and congratulations to FastBuds on the amazing breeding. I recommend it to any sativa lover, and anyone willing to train and bend an unrully plant! 10/10 is my rating.

This and the voodoo juice made up for big roots.

Nice zyms.

Followed tangs schedule but with coco. Perfect!

So I decided to try the very first sample. I purposedly chose the worst possible larf with barely any trichomes and not even dried and put in my old flowermate vaporizer. The goal is to set the minimum bar possible and in a few weeks the medium bar, and in 2 months the highest bar. So the lowest bar bud review: ###################################################Smell####################################################### It might even be considered a stretch to call this a bud. just 10 or 15 calyxes, very few trichomes and a few sugar leaves. This bud could not get any light at all during the grow. Still, the smell was amazing like bubblegum and blueberry with a touch of grapefruit. it gets 10/10 here. ###################################################Taste####################################################### This is very difficult to judge since my flowermate is very old and basically only the first or second hits have any flavour at all. From the little I could gather, I would say the taste is similar to the smell with bubblegum, blueberry and grapefruit being the loudest notes. There is a strong earthy taste but I am guessing that is due to the vaporizer and not the bud itself. I am gonna rate 9/10 here because the first hit was indeed very good but will need an update (ordered a Mighty arrives in 2 weeks). ###################################################High and Potency####################################################### Now this is what I really care about. I made a few observations at different timepoints which I summarize below: +0 mins: Barely any effect noticed immediately, so definitely not an instant effect strain +5 mins: I start feeling my body vibrating at higher and higher frequencies +10 mins: My breathing slows down and becomes very regular. slight pressure in the eyes. At this point I would say I am at a 5/10 +15 mins: High starts creeping up.colors become altered. I am a paranoid-prone consumer and no paranoia noticed so big plus +20 mins: I put the new Globular album for the first time and it sounds like a smoothly flowing stream of pure pleasure is being poured in my ears. I would say this is a creeper since now I am at a 7/10. +25 mins: I start writing this report. I become so focused it seems this task and my brain are two attracting magnets. I could imagine using this strain for creative purposes. +30 mins: Overall I just feel in peace and its difficult to open my eyes. #############################################################Overall Review######################################################### This was the test to set the absolute worst standard for this strain, which I imagine could be useful for someone who is debating whether to persist on a plant that has been stressed for instance. I can absolutely say based on this terrible exemplar that it is indeed worth it. If you are looking for a strain that will put you in the zone and has some very sweet smells and flavours, then this strain is for you. I will update in 2 weeks the Medium quality bar and in 2 months the high bar. I expect after a proper cure and with a proper bud this should be a 9 or a 10 out of 10.
