Appearance
Easily the most impressive part about the appearance of this strain was its trichome coverage and harvest timing — the sample was covered in a thick carpet of trichomes that were mainly cloudy, with maybe 10% ambered… pretty perfect. Beyond that, it was a pleasing and fairly vibrant collection of greens with orange pistils and was structured like many well-grown Sativas; light, but not wispy. No real flaws to be found here, great job by the grow team.
Aroma
The cross of the two parent strains was in full effect here — the ChemDawg’s Diesel influence was especially evident, as that was the dominant note (fuel, chemical, gun oil)… But very present along with those pungent smells was a fruity, citrus-leaning sweetness with a certain putrid quality to it, much like an overripe pineapple. This was a very pungent and unique sample…
Flavor
While one reviewer got a reasonably strong and very enjoyable taste from this strain, the majority of the crew struggled to get a read on it and weren’t that impressed by what they did get. A fleeting, perfume-like sweetness was all the majority reported, but the one who liked it picked up on a floral-leaning citrus sweetness that faded out after about 2 hits, followed by a fuel-tinged aftertaste. A possible reason for the lack of flavor is the flush, as the final ash was a bit murky and it made our reviewers sneeze/cough a couple of times. This strain was grown in 18-gallon soil containers though, so that’s understandably difficult to flush thoroughly…
Effect
(We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Strong ocular attention, body pain relief, boost of energy to start, and mood elevation.
Overall
The Health Depot has a few in-house crosses available, but we think this is the pick of the litter — it’s a very thoughtful cross that really combined the best of the two parents into a complete hybrid package. They coordinated the harvest timing with Full Spectrum Laboratories to calculate the maximum potency, and it seems to have paid off with the near-overwhelming experience that started this one off. A wonderful hybrid in the truest sense, it started off strongly Sativa but rounded out to a relaxing ride that held strong through 2 hours. This one is recommended for more experienced patients, as the initial effects may be too strong for many… a very small dosage will be sufficient for most.
