comments on how she smoked/grew
Smoke was great as far as the medical properties go. However, I don't believe this to be all to well grown unfortunately. Definitely worth exploring a pack however, as I believe it is always better when you do it yourself. I didn't personally care for the flavor of this phenotype, seemed a bit more haze influenced? Burned mostly clean, but not white. A little bit of nitrogen taste in the smoke.

==================================================
THE SMOKE TEST
==================================================
Address these questions while smoking.
1. Please use a clean instrument for the evaluation. Enter information below that will identify the instrument as follows:
Water pipe (enter bong, hooka, bubbler etc): Iced bong... nothing special, China glass that I fitted a glass on glass downstem and bowl to. Sentimental value I guess. I keeps her clean, tho!
2. If you had only 15 points to distribute through the list that apply to the flavor where would they be placed?
Earthy [3]
Floral [4]
Fruit [2]
Cedar [2]
Haze [4]
3. Taste: 7
Rate your impression of the taste from 1-10 unpleasant-delicious.
Comment: The smoke from the sample was a bit harsh, can taste some N in the bud. Not pertinent to the strain however. First sample was smaller nug, Second sample was from the biggest bud in the jar. Both carried an N taste, but the bigger carrying some better flavor.
4. State of dryness: 4
Rate the dryness of the bud from 1-10 wet-dry where 5 is ideal.
comment: still had a good snap in the stem, but seemed a little too malleable to touch. Gooey.
5. smoke ability: 7
Rate the smoke ability of the sample from 1-10 harsh-smooth.
Comment: a little on the harsh side, the N killed the flavor for me. Fiirst impression not good. Trying second nug was a bit better, less green/N taste. Still was kind of a hot smoke.
6. Smoke expansion: 3
Rate how the smoke expands in the lungs from 1-10 stable-explodes.
Comment: I only felt a slight expansion, but I've never been one to cough much anyway.
1. __[4]__ Dosage
Enter the number of hits taken to reach desired effects.
Comment: packed 2 bowls, about 2 hours apart. 2 to 3 hits before cashed.
2. __[4]__ Effect onset
Rate how quickly the effect hit from 1-10 immediate-major creeper.
I took a couple of hits off the bong, walked the dog, and by the time she was doing her thing I was grinning ear to ear, with some very in depth thoughts.
3. __[7]__ Sativa influence
Rate the sativa influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Sativa
influence is best described as a clear and energetic mental effect.
I definitely felt some upbeatness, but very at ease with my surroundings and pleasant.
4. __[4]__ Indica influence
Rate the indica influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Indica
influence is best described as a sedative, lethargic or numbing
effect that affects the body.
I don't feel lethargic much, just warm and comfortable. I do notice that once I got onto the couch to write this report that I am a little more inclined to chill out.
5. __[6]__ Potency
Rate the potency of the sample from 0-10 none-devastating.
I feel like a solid .3 g bowl would be very appropriate for me, not overwhelming.
6. __[1 Hour and 15 minutes]__ Duration
Indicate the duration of time that the effects lasted.
7. __[]__ Tolerance build up
Rate how quickly tolerance builds from 0-10 none-rapid. Leave this
field blank if you have not used this sample repeatedly.
Need a little more time to figure that out.
8. Usability
Rate on a scale of 1-9 where a one indicates the worst time of day
to consume this strain and a nine represents the ideal time of day.
Leave field(s) blank if you have not yet formed an opinion.
Morning - wake up [7]
Day - work [9]
Evening - relax [5]
Night - sleep []
So far this has been some of the best daytime smoke for me to date. 9 for daytime use. I can see this to be appropriate up until a few hours before bedtime. Now having smoked in the evening I can say I am mostly relaxed, and have had a lot deep thoughts. I might need to get some indica in me before sleep tho.
9. __[8]__ Overall satisfaction
Rate your overall satisfaction from 1-10 poor-Holy Grail.
As far as the medicinal qualities go, 10 for me. Have to knock back a couple points as to the fact I think it could obviously had been grown better.

Ability to judge the sample and the conditions in which it is judged 0-10 newb-head
11.Judging from the sample alone do you personally consider this
strain a keeper for long term use?
Yes [x]
No [ ]

Conclusion: I have smoked both parents separate a plenty, and had always been curious of this one. Funny it came up in conversation just recently on another thread, I had the chance to pick some up and did. I was actually WOWed today (still am...) by how well I was relieved of my normal anxiety, and the bit of depression I deal with. Not looking for sympathy here, at all... but this particular strain picked my head up, and had me out doing things I haven't wanted to do in months. I was chatty and social with my neighbors and people I encountered while walking the dog, and just flat happy. I still feel mostly energized and in a mood where I want to get work done.
edit: I had to go back and proofread a bit, a bit too medicated the first go 'round haha... and had a chance to smoke a bit more, as further analasys is usually pretty essential. If it's any help, I have realized that this strain has made me super critical and I have had to edit this post about 5 times because I caught myself missing things and not making a whole lot of sense in spots. hahaha.... pretty irie!
