Okay, here’s the Franco’s Lemon Cheese x NL5 Haze/Sensi Star #3 smoke report.
Looks:
I had a difficult time getting decent pics this morning, those are the best I could do. It’s hard to tell from the pics, but these flowers actually are pretty frosty, they’re just not covered in those massive “Instagram” trichomes. More of a sort of “fine” kind of “sandy” appearance or maybe even “dusty,” which I actually love. If I had to come up with a name for the look of them, I’d call them “Sativa trichomes” haha. But most of my favorite weed has looked like that, so…
There are also a TON of massive “spears” in a lot of the jars, but those are in the grow room and the lights are off right now, so I had to pull that nug from my “daily driver.” Maybe I’ll open the jars when the lights turn on later tonight and snap some pics.
Breaking up nugs, they’re definitely very sticky, but not gunky or anything. Still satisfying, though. I didn’t think these flowers were gonna be all “Super Glue-ish” or anything.
Smell: Figuring out the smell hasn’t been the easiest task haha. Initially, I though the dried flowers smelled very “Vidalia onion-ish,” sweet onion, reminded me quite a bit of that Blueberry x Silver Lotus from Iamyou that I grew a while back, minus the Blueberry part haha. My perfume-smeller friend said she thought it smelled like cantaloupe/melon, but that was after like four days in the jars. The only friend of mine who smokes weed on a regular basis thought it smelled very fruity and sweet when he first got a whiff, which was maybe two weeks ago?
I think overall, it’s definitely sweet-smelling, but I can’t peg exactly what that sweetness is. Seems like that onion smell is gone for now (which is fine haha) and it’s mostly just a fruity “sweetness.”
I actually just held a jar of it under my girl’s nose and asked her what she thought it smelled like. She paused for a couple seconds and then said,“Um… Green… Apple…” but she’s full of shit, just mailing it in again… haha. She actually laughed after she said that, just because she knew she wasn’t even trying. It doesn’t smell like green apple. I don’t think.
In any event, it does smell very good and VERY loud. The room stinks when I start breaking up nugs or even when I just open a jar.
Taste: I honestly don’t taste anything at all. I’ve smoked this through a dirty bong, a clean bong, in joints and I don’t taste anything. It’s very smooth smoke, no coughing at all, but it doesn’t taste like anything. Which is soooooo weird, obviously, because she really does smell very good and strong.
I texted that “regular weed smoker” friend of mine last night to see what he thought about the flavor. He uses a vape, so I thought he may have picked up on something that I was missing and all he said was “sweetness and funky,” so… It didn’t sound like he thinks much of the flavor, either, but honestly, who fucking cares? I mean, if the high is amazing (and the high on this one is), I don’t care if the weed tastes like literal shit.
Or I dunno, maybe I’d care if it tasted like actual shit haha, but the fact that this one doesn’t taste like anything at all (to me) doesn’t affect my opinion of it.
High: I love this weed. That’s all, no need to write anything else.
Just kidding, but I do reeeeeeally love this one. The comeup is totally pleasant. I mean, there’ve been a few times when I’ve kind of been like,“Uh oh, this is starting to feel slightly rushy…” in the first twenty or thirty minutes, but it hasn’t ever gotten “panic attack-ish.” And that doesn’t even happen every time, so… In general, it’s a great and almost “exciting” comeup.
After about thirty minutes, it’s all good times. Everything is funnier, very chatty, joke-y, amusing. It’s really easy to have a super-fun time. It totally improves my mood (which has been, admittedly, not good lately). It makes me very happy and just like,“Why do you ever get in a bad mood? Everything’s fine.” I feel extremely at peace after blazing this one, very relaxed. Which, NO, IS NOT THE SAME AS FEELING SLEEPY haha.
I mentioned this on Holy’s thread, but the first time I blazed this one, we had a couple friends over and smoked a joint and then played Trivial Pursuit and I dominated, even though I was also cooking dinner for everybody at the same time. It’s a totally functional high, but super-fun and giggly and laugh-y and… just… really good weed haha.
The high lasts maybe three hours (or what feels like three hours, anyway), followed by a very “clean” comedown, no lethargy or anything, just a refreshing sort of feeling.
One thing that I’ve noticed and that I’ve found very interesting is that even after the comedown, I have no desire to drink, almost like a “healing” sort of thing. There’ve been plenty of strains, crosses, hybrids, whatever that I’ve smoked where I don’t wanna drink while I’m actually baked, but this is the only one that I can think of offhand where even like five hours after I blaze it, I don’t wanna drink anymore.
Very cool.
Anyway, yeah, this is fucking kick-ass weed, Holy. I mean, just in case I haven’t been making that clear the last few weeks haha… Thank you again for these seeds. I really, really fucked up when I didn’t take cuts of this one, but hopefully I’ll be able to find something similar the next time I plant some of these…
was excellent background as I read your report and didn’t watch my dinner cook
