💀 505 Headbanger #1 💀 Age: 78 days Life: After early draught issues, very healthy and stable cultivar. Great pathogen resistance, botrytis was essentially invitied several times for HB. Flower Development: Very evenly matured, ripe flower with light senescence fade (-) deeper into sub-canopy. Pistils: Even fade towards ~80% brown, pistils kept fresh well into age. Trichomes: ~10% amber, fairly evenly Fully ripened:Freshly ripening Ratio: 4.7:1 or 82%/18% Smell undisturbed: soft & sweet minty pine, earthy, then thick spice body / "paste" Smell ruptured: intense eucalyptus and mint notes, nesting in sweet, dense herbal tea & earthy background. impressively "fresh" Terp Loss: profile seems well preserved, peanut-butter-roasted notes not present in final product Taste: (combusted with tobacco) fresh, mints, herbs, sweet Tactile density: 7/10 Hand-trimming: 7.25h or 38g/h Larf: sub 1.0% Spoiled: 3.5g (botrytis) Other notes: trimmed material has considerable extraction density Drying: Extended low VPD cool dry in custom chamber (12D with increased botrytis risk) → untrimmed humidity stabilization (extended +3 days due to sickness) → TerpLoc bags nested inside RH stabilized container as final storage. Pharmaceutical Profile: Mephisto's ambiguity (product described as activating AND debilitating) matches the ramp I get as I consume increasing amounts. I get a strong hybrid-sativa leaner that supports activity and clarity with no couch-lock. That is not to say that this flower will not get you stoned. With higher doses, the term "forehead-pressure" from Mephistos description comes into play, as if the body high came to tuck you in with an array of pleasant sensations, while keeping up concentration & shifting me into contemplation mode. If you're not careful or new to cannabis, be aware that consuming beyond this point can get you into trouble with circulation easily, so be careful. High THC contents very apparent.
