SMOKE REPORT TIME.....
Well thank you to all for joining me on this journey. I have quite a few MNS strains at this point, and Mu had recommended Shark Shock as my first MNS grow- thank you
@musashi it was an excellent recommendation.
Due to several reasons, I can only really grow 2 plants at a time. In the future I will definitely do another run of it, as it has been one of my favourites so far, but I would like to do a bigger selection. Judging from these two plants, there will be something very special to find. Despite toking on it for about 5 weeks straight now, it hasn't really build a huge amount of tolerance in terms of effect. Other strains I have grown I found that I needed 4 or 5 joints after 2 weeks to get to the level of high that 2 gave before. 3 joints of SS and you won't know where you are.
I had two phenos, from what I can tell, the pointy one is leaning more towards the window family, and the rounded one is leaning towards the super skunk side of things. Harvested on day 61 of flip, in the future I think I would let it go slightly longer.
Shark Shock review:
Smell: 4/5
Shark shock absolutely stinks. I wouldn't want to take it out with me unless it was in a smell proof container. Whilst it was growing, a carbon filter will 100% manage the smell, but if you leave a jar open or nug out, expect it to stink up a room. There's been a few times I couldn't work out where the smell was coming from to find a popcorn sized nug had fallen under the table. The smells have changed over time and from when they were growing.
Pointy one is very bubblegummy smelling, similar to that alcoholy artificial bubble gum smell. The rounded one is a touch more burnt rubber/ herby smell. I have been trying to put my finger on what the herby smell is like, and realised as I brushed against a sage plant outside, it is very sage like. Both have a slight corriander/ spicy smell.
It definitely gets better with age. My favourite strain I've grown so far has been Trainwreck from GHS, and I thought that it was better than the Shark at the start. Tried both yesterday for comparison and the Trainwreck is a shadow in comparison to the potency of the Shark, it is beautiful flower.
Effect: 4.5/5
The effect I value most is that upbeat, smiley euphoria. I met up with some friends a week ago, and brought some of it with me. It was a perfect social smoke, we were laughing, joking, telling each other stories and coming up with some amazing ideas. It is very creative in an "out of the box" thinking way. If you have a problem to solve, I would highly recommend trying some of it out and seeing if it helps. I've stopped smoking joints, and have moved to the volcano completely now, but I remember joking to a friend: "one joint, and you're like right, lets go clean the house. 3 joints in, and you might wake up naked in the local forest wondering what the hell happened".
The pointy one is a lot more energetic, and the rounded one is a lot more stoney. It will give you one of the best nights sleep you've ever had.
Effects in a few words- upbeat, happy, euphoric, energetic, rocket fuel if you smoke too much.
Yield: 5/5
So I only grow for myself, and just aim to have enough to get me between crops. I actually didn't get a final weight as I was dipping into the plants as they were drying. For the rounded one, I did get a rough estimate as around 135g dried weight. The pointy one yielded slightly more. Approximately 270g from the two plants under a 250W Migro Led.
