I decided to give giving a strain review a shot. Found a template that there internet and put my own information into it. Hope it helps some of ya'll, i know a few of you just popped some.
SeedBank : James Bean Seeds Co.
Strain: Appalachian Super Skunk, Bodhi Genetics
Soil/hydro:Grown in 3 gallon pots of promix/happy frog/additional perlite
Nutes: Nectar for the Gods, 7 or 8 of the base bottles. I don’t quite remember because I stopped running that line after this round was harvested. I switched to mega crop for price and time spent watering, and I have 0 regrets.
Light (kind and schedule): Flowered under 600w HPS in a 4x4 tent, 18/6 in veg, `12/12 in flower, although I think I’m going to drop it down to 10/14, as people seem to achieve identical results.
From seed to harvest date:68 days
Dry Yield: 120g or so
High/Effect Duration: Very good hybrid effects. Effects are felt immediately, but it’s not a debilitating stone. Great for doing chores you don’t really want to do. Provides you the motivation to get up and do them, but a stony effect to make you forget what you’re doing. Lasts an average amount of time. Also great for playing some video games on the couch but not getting sucked into it all day.
In-depth
RATE SCALE:1 bad to 10 bigly good
BAG APPEAL:7.5/10
For fans of hairy girls! Covered in orange/red hairs, one of the first things you will notice. It wont jump out at you from across the room, but on closer examination you will notice that these are very frosty buds as well, with a medium density. Lots of small sugar leaves poking out, but not large enough to be an issue. Covered in frost. But the most noticeable thing is the long red/orange hairs covering the pale olive green buds. Personally I think these look really nice, but if you’re into the rock hard super tight trim nugs, than this may not be your bag.
THE GROWTH:7/10
She was a pretty easy grow. I popped 5 seeds, took 3 females. Was a quick, hearty vegger. During flower, I noticed a few overfeeding issues, but nothing that she was unable to recover 100% from. No herm traits were noticed in any of the plants I grew. 2 distinct pheno’s noticed. Both were fairly identical in growth and smoke, the only really noticeable variation is the smell. 2 phenos (which I am reviewing) were very lemony, while the other was more of a sour butter musk. She turned out to be a very thirsty girl during the last weeks of her life, needing a bit more water than all the others in the tent at the time.
THE SMELL:9/10
like stinky dank lemons left in a cedar closet. It smells really good. Its super pungent, and you recognize it as soon as the jar is opened. The more it cures (at about 5 months now) the more pronounced that dank skunk smell gets, although its not an overwhelmingly skunky smell. Had I popped more seeds and found more like this, I’d of called it “Appalachian Lemon Party” or something like that. When It first was jarred, I think I would of considered it more of a lemon musk.
THE SMOKE:8/10
Pretty similar to the smell, but more emphasis on the lemony bit, with a skunky earthy bit following a mostly lemon exhale. I also find some hints of fuel. I do not notice any hashy, or spicy taste to it, nor is there anything berry or fruity other than straight lemon. Very smooth smoke, through my water pipes It does not make me cough at all. I’d love to make some of this into full melt concentrate and really get to enjoy the flavor.
THE HIGH:9/10
I really enjoy this, I find it to be a pretty versatile smoke. A bowl or joint can get you feeling really good, euphoric, and motivated. Enough bowls or joints will, like most good strains, put you in a stoney couch locky place. Its been able to put me to sleep before, although its not the first thing I’d reach for if I was looking strictly to sleep. I haven’t met anybody who hasn’t very much enjoyed this strain yet. But most importantly this strain makes me feel good and pleasant.
Overall Comments: I really enjoyed growing this , all 3 plants turned out awesome. They just kept growing in flower too. The weight gain in the last 2 weeks was really impressive for my inexperienced self. I would recommend this strain to anybody, both novice and expert growers looking for a euphoric stone that won’t totally decommission you, unless you want to be. In that case, Blunt up, astronaut! You’re going space traveling. Definitely planning on f2’ing the rest of the beans I have, I would hate to lose this. Oh, myself and others have noticed a lack of pronounced skunk smell, so maybe if you are on a STRICTLY RKS quest, this may not hold great expectations for you.
lol I dropped my photo nug halfway through and didnt realize I missed a couple dog hairs on it. oops.
