Blue Widow, Dinafem Smoke Report
Let me start off by saying that this stuff is really frosty, once you crack a nug open the center is just PACKED with frost.
This bud is also really dense, I usually fit an oz in my jar of typical buds, but with this stuff an oz filled up a bit more than half the jar. Super dense nugs....
On the inhale this stuff tastes very sweet, and once I exhale I can taste the berry-ness. It's also a very strong taste, it completely engulfs your palette for several minutes after ripping it. It's one of those smokes where you exhale through your nose and even your nostrils can 'taste' it... lol.. It's very smooth but I won't say it's "no cough". Once you take a big rip you will notice just how smooth it is.
The smell is very strong too, this stuff will penetrate plastic containers... I don't know exactly how to describe it, it's not fruity at all, very musky and skunky, but not quite either one... it's hard to pin-point, sorry.
This stuff burns well also, none of that naaaasty crackle (in cured buds) which is something I fucking HATE.
The high is strong, I can say this stuff has increased my tolerance to a point that is slightly annoying. It's not a creeper at all, it'll hit you in the face, under the eyes, right at the exhale. Also lasts long as well, a couple bowls in the bong and my night is over... for a few hours at least. It's a strong indica high, with a crazy but nice crash. I have horrible insomnia and this bud is great for when you need to crash out. I'm a cook at a popular, healthy cuisine restaurant and typically if it's not a busy day I just smoke out under the vents in the kitchen with no problems as far as my performance. Yet, even on slow days this bud will knock me off my game, it makes me slow, indifferent, forgetful, and clumsy, which outside the kitchen is typically an okay thing. All in all, I love indicas and this stuff is a solid indica, with a serious high.
Grow Report:
This stuff was grown in an all veganic mix (I'm pretty sure, I'd have to look at my notes to see exactly what the mix was), this particular mix preformed well, and didn't need a lot of supplementation. The plant was very easy to grow, as most plants are in organic mixes. I LSTed it throughout it's life and it did well. At first it was under the scrog in flowering, but it finished up independently. It grows fast, and flowers hard and fast after week two. One thing that might stop me from keeping it in my garden is it's susceptibility to spidermites, never have I had mites, but all my BW have them, a few have traveled to other plants but I'm still winning the battle, but this plant is seriously prone to mites. I remember looking back on Thurgood's BW thread and he had mentioned something about mites as well. I also have gathered that this strain is pretty stable, I've followed a few journals and seen some old ones and the phenos look very similar.
She was harvested between nine and ten weeks, and the next one I'm harvesting will be at eight weeks, just to see if there's a marked difference.
