TESTER REPORT:
A1(#2) x KASHMIR:
I ended up with 4 females and 3 males. (one looked male early, but then went female.) Of the 4 females, there were 4 different phenos. The only common traits between the bunch, were that they all shared a background smell of chemical meat and skunky body odor shit, and that all have a smooth smoke with almost no flavor. Just a sort of fiery, watered down skunk taste.
===========================================================================================
Individual Plant Reviews and Phenos:
#1- This one was the fastest growing-- the first to go into flower, and the first to finish.
The appearance of the leaves were the most similar to the A1 leaves I have seen in pictures, with the deep, saw-tooth serrations, and big claw-like fan leaves with many having 11 blades. It turned dark brownish-purple as the growth cycle progressed.
The smell while in veg was extremely faint, but once it went into flower it became very meaty and smoky, with a black pepper and chemical backend. It could be described as "acrid", but not in the way many would probably think... it is meaty, but not stinky... it is more like a char broiled hamburger kind of meaty... savory and juicy... but with a dry smoke and ash smell. Imagine being in a steakhouse, while smoking chemdog in the smoking section (back when there were smoking sections in restaurants)... that's kind of how it smells, and it's actually really nice.
The high: This one is the fastest hitting, but not the strongest overall. Colors are more intense, and things just become more interactive. You can easily wind up getting carried away by your imagination, and following a thought into a dream... but the high is also an energetic one, and will keep you moving and playing with the world around you, not knock you out or glue you to the couch in any way. It was decent, but not super strong... it does make you want to go on wild adventures outside. It's also not super long lasting... 2hrs tops I'd say... I give it a
7 out of 10.

#2- This one finished second fastest.
The appearance was short and compact and spiky. It's leaves were the first to start showing color, even though the buds weren't the first to start or finish. One of the cool things about this one, was that the buds turned red- as if burning from the inside.
The smell while growing was faint, slightly minty during veg, and slightly more flowery later on, with a subtle skunky meat base. However, during chop, this plant gave off a very pungent, invasive, suffocating fume kind of thing... that reeked of a noxious combination of antiseptic, wet dog food, human feces, and formaldehyde.
The high on this one was very mellow. Actually, it was almost non-existent. If this was the only sample to go off of, I would have given this line a fairly low grade. This plant was mediocre at best in terms of actually getting "high"... It is calming, relaxing, clear headed, but still active and motivated... but not at all strong. This is like the kind of weed you would smoke all day at work and never be too far gone to mess anything up. Bodhi said A1 reminded him of Deep Chunk... well if it is from the same lineage, both it and the Kashmir could give off expressions with higher cbd, as many unworked varieties from those areas have been known to do that. That is my thought on this pheno- that it is higher in cbd- because there is no real "high" to be found other than a mild calming relaxed thing.. Not for the people who want to get blasted, but might be perfect for other uses. I give it a
5 out of 10.

#3- This one was great... really great. It was the longest flowering by far. It really could just keep going and going if it was allowed to.
Appearance was similar to No.1, but with some oddities. It got huge baseball bat colas, that made the branches and stems become very heavy and floppy, but the buds themselves were fairly skinny and quite strange, being elongated and semi-foxtailing. This one did sort of turn color, but not nearly as much or as dark as the others.
The smell is vastly different from the others. While it still has a back odor of chemical skunk and meaty body odor, its primary scent was very
soapy throughout growth... soft and feminine, and just like a clean bodywash or soap something... there was also a certain warmth to it... it is hard to explain, but it was almost as if it was emanating its own body heat while in flower... really, really... just... warm... When dried, it gets a weird undernote of something I can't describe... it's like a really weird, really stinky Cheetos gone bad smell or something...
The high on this one is absolutely amazing. It takes a minute to kick in, but it is the kind of high where people around you will know you were smoking. It is disorienting, it is confused and hard to concentrate or remember things you were doing 10 minutes earlier, it alters depth perception, motor skill impairing, very dizzying and visual... You know you are high with this one... You smoke enough of this and the room will start spinning like you are in a tornado and you will start seeing strobe lights, no exaggeration. It settles in a bit as it goes, and a more body high kicks in. The body comes after the head is already in effect, and starts with a tingly, messaging, kind of magnetic field feel, that starts in the back of the head, and slowly expands downward into the neck and shoulders, where it then dissolves and trickles down and throughout the whole body. The downside with this one is that it isn't a particularly long lasting high. It peaks, then fades after about an hour... but does linger mildly for a good 1-2 hours after that, with a fuzzy relaxed, but still motivated, buzz. One of the cool things about this one is that it has a pulsating quality, where you think the high is done, but then it comes back for a while, before fading again, then coming back again. The smoke is smooth, but thick.
This one is great, and really delivers. As good as this one is though, I believe it could be even better, so it gets an
8.5-9 out of 10.

#4- This one was the second longest, and had a real acidic chemical smell. Sort of a sharp wasabi or horseradish thing mixed with cleaning chemicals. The high was basically the same as no. 1, being relaxed and motivated, fun and happy, just enjoying being, kind of high. Not too strong, but not weak either. The smell was different from no 1 though- it wasnt as meaty as 1 was, and leaned more towards a janitorial kind of smell. The buds were also different, being much more filled out and rounded.. all the others had more sativa looking buds compared to this one... this one was chunkier and not as spikey.
7 out of 10.
