In HS, me and a buddy used to have a running contest @ parties 'how many can you jack' bic's were worth 2 points, and novelty lighters were worth more accordingly... MINUMUM 10 lighters a night a piece. We got another place with another friend, and started to combine our winnings. We filled a 5 gallon waterbottle. REAL SAFE!!!
Wakin and bakin with some Aroura B, and I figgured that I'd do a lil smokum report.
Strain: Aurora B from The Flying Dutchmen (Nl x sweetSk)
Grown: Outside @ 41 degN, organic, in the dirt, seed started and sexed in a pot, plant put out ~July1. Fed compost on planting, and todressed 1 time w/P guano, rockphos., greensand, kelp, gardenlime, castings ~Aug10.
Cut: ~Oct. 3, 1 wk bag cure
I got these seeds to run for a bunch of reasons: I had a very nice (and FAST) Shit female, and wanted to compare another co's 'SuperSk' to MNS. I had a great experience last year with an Early Durban from TFD, and these were priced right ($40/11 seeds)
Grew like 90% of my other sat dom hybrids until flower. Then it was a runaway calyx train. Not in a fat buds falling over kind of way; more like - "Welcome to de Island, you wanna buy a handfull of ganja sticks, whiteboy?" There are very few spots where the calyxes got together to form 'buds'. However, the whole plant is frosty as hell, stems included. Trimming was a breeze, did 80g in under an hr!! She grew to ~8', and the 'calyxsails' must have caught some decent wind, cause she was split down the middle ~Sept 30. That's why I cut her.
The bag just smells like dank sativa bud. Earthy, Musky, SLIGHT vanilla-incense thing going on, but not like haze at all. I ground up ~10g in my new grinder last night, and the smells were CRAZY. The lil pile turned into this citrus/vanilla blast. I kept getting finely ground bud on/in my nose... Not at all like Ive smelled w/MNS or anything that I've finished, BUT I never grew a plant with this 'structure' before.
The taste in a pipe is spicy/hashy/skunky. I think that the hashy taste is due to the grinder separating enough crystals to burn right away (no 'plant-density to protect em). The high is RUSHING. Tough to take more than 3 bowl hits, and I've clipped all of the blunts that I've tried to smoke to my head. Very strong sativa high. ENERGY, introspection, diarrhea-of-the-mouth, perma smile. NO body stone. For ~10 min. Then it mellows into a sat dom type high. Little bit of confusion and contentment sets in when the high stops 'rushing'. Lil bit heavy eyelids, but relatively no body stone. Short high, though. Possibly due to the fact that I'm not smoking as much in each session. Haven't noticed a tolerence (haven't smoked THAT much, and I've been smoking other bud too). The comedown is nice, no burn or munchies, or headache/pressure. I'll see if there is a ceiling a lil later on today, I have some things still to accomplish...
Nice weed. If I wasn't a grower, This would be A+++ topshelf fire smoke. As a grower who likes a lil less coke with his weed, I'm spoiled enough to give it a 6 or a 7 overall (pif being 10, SSH#1 (iffy)~9.5, Spice~9). If it have a lil bag appeal, it would be a solid 7, but the 'buds' look like str8 oldskool 'Ribe Fi-ah.
Lemmie go chop, water, re-arrainge, and I'll report back on the 'ceiling'.
AND my neighbor brought me some home-made tacos!!! I LOVE THOSE PEOPLE!!!
Good luck with the G/wid's!
