Name: Pretty sure its an AK47 variety, maybe a specific phonotype. Not 100% sure.
From:Medicinal Distributor
Grade: A-
Genetics: If it is a classic AK phenotype, the genetics could be a mix of either classic columbian, afghani, thai, and mexican strains. I would guess its up an ally of older genetics, very classical attributes to this one.
Oil yield: 18-20%
Looks: I can admit this really wasn’t the most attractive looking bud ever. There were some really misshapen stemmy nugs that may have been strained for light beneath everything else. Nonetheless, the frequency of trichomes was on par with some better strains, there were mild hints of purple through out, characteristic of an AK pheno. It was somewhat leafy, and it also seemed dry. Was honestly mildly turned off by the looks.
HOWEVER, the oil, in a large batch, came out to a great light golden color, and it purged rather quickly to a nice tacky disc. We didn’t even run the nice nugs, and it came out 10 times better than i would’ve guessed.
Smell: The smell was on the appealing end. This is what makes me assume it could be an AK strain, or something of more classical genetics. It has that old school classic weed smell. Same smell i remember smelling at music festivals, and camp grounds as a kid. Nothing to exotic, not profusely fruity, just light floral tones, an earthy essence, and just slight notes of sweetness. The oil came out with a more poignant smell, was rather surprising, cracked open the vac jar and was met with a strong classic pot smell.
Taste: The oil taste is surprisingly delicious. Matches the smell quite closely, except the sweetness is a little more noticeable. It definitely has a similar taste to the blue dreams we’ve had in the past, but not quite as candy. More floral, more hashy, with a touch of sweetness, but still enough to notice. More apparent on the exhale than anything. Because of this I’m a little more confident its not a cherry or cherry lime phono, but maybe I’m wrong.
Buzz type: Hard to guess with this one. AK is said to possess mostly sativa characteristics, and the allegedly involved ancestors would back that up. The oil came out with sativa characteristics, it had a haze like look, and it smells more towards the sativa end, so id assume the buzz would be all energetic and uplifting. Maybe its the pure potency, but theres something to this one thats rather sedative. Definitely more head focused though. Ive found myself heavily involved in online research or a very specific task, more often mental than not. Still it seems to do well with pain relief and insomnia so who knows.
Buzz Length: kind of felt like it was on the short end.. maybe two hours. Though its been an hour since my first dab of the day and I’m still teary eyed stoned. So again who knows.
Overall: WHO KNOWS? Great flavor, great oil, good smell, good yield, good buzz…. not great looks. Makes me question whether i know what the fuck I’m talking about or not? Seriously though, rather pleased and surprised by this batch. Solid A-, only cause of the looks. Id have a hard time telling anyone its as good as it seems like it is of looks alone, and for that it gets the -.
