Imperial Majesty #1 looks:
I always label each jar “1/2/3…” etc, so that I’m sure to keep going through the first jar first, then the second etc. That way, by the time I get to the last jar, it’s been sealed up for a good long while. I also tend to put the fattest nugs in the last jar, just because I feel like the bigger the flowers are, the longer they’ll take to be properly cured. Having said that, pretty much every jar of the Imperial Majesty #1 (and the #2) look like the above pics, with those tiny little nuggets. But that’s okay haha. There are some nice buds in the jars for sure, but nothing like the fat-ass flowers from those short plants.
Smell: so my “amateur” perfume-smeller friend came over and I had her smell these jars. This is not the same chick who gets perfume samples sent to her; the one who gets samples sent to her turned this other friend on to the whole “perfume-smelling game” or whatever haha. But she’s still got a good nose. Better than mine.
Anyway, as soon as she got a whiff of the first Imperial Majesty #1 jar (and the first #2 jar, too, actually), she immediately said,“Oh, wow, it smells like tomato sauce!” I was like,“What?” but I can see where she was coming from. It doesn’t smell like crushed tomatoes themselves, but the #1 definitely has a sorta “oregano/basil/marjoram/thyme” kind of “deep herbal” thing going on for sure, like the things that you use to season tomato sauce. It smells good. I was hoping it’d maintain the way it smelled while growing through the drying/curing process, with that “classic OG” aftershave/perfume-y kinda thing, but I guess not haha. I wonder how much the too-hot drying conditions had to do with that…
Taste: Woody. That’s really the only way I can describe it. It doesn’t taste like any kind of specific wood, it’s not like it’s “cedar” or “cherry” or “oak” or anything, but it tastes very woody to me. I get a little hint of “perfume” on the backend, but it’s mostly just a straight-up “woody” flavor. It’s not bad, but it’s not amazing, either haha.
Effect: I really like this one! It actually kind of reminds me of a better Goji, with that sorta “meditative/Everything’s fine/mellow”-type of high. The first thirty minutes are slightly cerebral, I definitely do a lot of thinking, but it isn’t overwhelming. It’s not rushy or racy or uncomfortable. I feel like those first thirty minutes are kind of a prelude to the actual high, which sort of implies that it’s a creeper, but it isn’t; I’m for sure very high shortly after smoking this one, but the real fun starts after about thirty minutes, when it becomes an extremely “mellow” high. That’s the best way I can put it. I don’t want people to take that the wrong way, though, because “mellow” to a lot of people might imply “weak” or “lazy” and it isn’t weak or lazy at all. It’s good weed and strong enough, for sure. Functional. It’s good weed for chilling and being functional haha. And if you’re not chill already, this weed will make you chill.
I also sleep really, really well when I smoke this one before bed, but in general it isn’t “sleepy time” weed. I’ve been blazing this one during the day and it’s been fine, no crazy-heavy comedown or anything. If you’re already sleepy, though, it isn’t going to keep you awake for more than an hour or so haha.
Anyway, yeah, I like this one a lot. I’ve only just started getting into the #2 Imperial Majesty, but so far I prefer the #1.
Edit: looks like there’s a seed in that one nug in those pics. Shit… haha. Overall, though, the IM’s don’t seem like they got “officially” seeded or anything, despite my earlier speculation. I haven’t found any seeds while I’ve been breaking up nugs. I did find a few fully-developed seeds at the base of a couple flowers on every single other plant grown this round while I was trimming, though. I dunno what that was about, but I don’t think the plants actually got pollinated or anything.
