Smoke report and final entry here........
This is a strain that leans heavily to the Gorilla Glue #4, even though it's a 3 way hybrid with Durban Poison and Rainmaker too- 2 other strains Ethos is growing and using in it's hybrids. The smell is straight on GG#4, but the cola's range wildly from kush-like to sativa fox-tails and everything in between. Bag appeal is A+ no doubt, and it's the first thing everyone comments on. Weight is solidly high, but not record breaking for sure. And it has a greasy, slimey resin- not sticky like most strains.
Describing the buzz is more difficult. It's a creeper, and it takes around 10 minutes after smoking to really feel the effects. It's a complex high, with sativa effects early on and the indica body high (relaxing) comes on after an hour or two. It's not a slam in the face sativa, but does provide a lift and energy, while your head feels like it's in a vice, being squeezed at the temples from both sides. It really distorts time too, which i like- I smoke it and after what seems to be an hour or two later, actually is 15 minutes. I love when that happens.
It's very long lasting, which I attribute to the high THC levels, probably around 28%-30% I'm guessing. 3-4 hours after smoking, you still feel it and it doesn't take much to get the job done. I did find 4 seeds in 1 bud, but never saw a male flower- even after chopping everything.
So, another solid Ethos grow for me and well worth a grow for it's weight and high THC level alone. I like my sativa's to be a bit more fruity or spicey or hazey tasting (I guess what I'm saying I like sativa's to be more flavorfull)........this has none of those. It tastes like a deep and dank indica and smokes like a kush. But effects are probably around 70% sativa, at least the 1st few hours. It's only been drying for around 14 days, so it's surely not cured properly yet, and that's going to take a few more weeks- but I think I've nailed the important points.
Lastly, please don't think I'm disappointed in any way. I'm not. I think I just expected it to be a bit different than it is. If you are searching for a strain, I would grow their Citral Glue (which i loved) before this one, but others may feel 100% opposite. On to Member Berry........and as always, thanks for following along- I'm sure Ethos appreciates it. LOL
