Copied-and-pasted from the log:
Last to get trimmed and jarred, first to get a smoke report written, but here’s the Banana Soap after only being cured for nineteen days (I couldn’t wait! haha).
Here’s the plant:
She’s got those super-fine, kinda “sandy” or “dusty” trichomes, but there are a LOT of them. The nugs look really good in person. It took so long for her to start impressing me, chopped on day 80, but that seems like it was about the right length of time to let her grow.
That nug in the pics weighs 3.4 grams, if anybody’s curious. Denser than I would’ve thought just by looking at it, but not uber-dense or anything. I’m fine with it haha.
Smell: Mostly just like every A5Thai hybrid of Doc’s that I’ve grown, with that “spicy plastic” thing going on. She’s definitely not loud, either, but she smells good. Every now and then I’ll pick up on some sort of “unripe fruit” thing, green fruit, but it’s not super-noticeable or like,“Wooowwwwwww, maaaaan…” She did smell very, very strongly of, like, lilacs and lavender, very floral while I was trimming her. I’m assuming that that’s where the “Soap” part of the name of this hybrid maybe came from. That’s all gone now, though, don’t notice any floral stuff at all.
Taste: In joints, the flavor’s nonexistent, doesn’t really taste like anything. I actually do pick up on some “unripe/green fruit” and spicy elements when I do bong rips, though. I dunno if “spicy” is even the right word; maybe “pepper-y” would be more accurate, like black pepper or something. The smoke is very smooth already, too, no coughing at all with this one, even though she’s only been in jars for nineteen days.
I gave some to the only stoner friend I know on Tuesday and he said that the flavor was “mild” through his vape, so I guess it just isn’t a super-flavorful plant. Which is fine, because she smokes soooooo gooood haha…
High: After all of the stuff I grew last round, the majority of which smokes very “clear” and “functional” (two of the Cheese Hazes and both of the Wat Phos and pretty much everything else), the Banana Soap is the weed that I didn’t realize I needed until I started blazing it haha. It’s very laaiiiiiiiiiid-back, very social, very “confident,” if that makes sense. Just a full-on,“Yeah, man, life is good, what’s the problem?”-type of high. Pretty smile-y, pretty giggly for a while, talkative, but not on the verge of being overbearingly conversational and talking too much or anything. This is great Hanging Out Weed.
I think that that A5Thai male that Doc uses (or used to use, I guess) is very good, in that it doesn’t seem to “overwhelm” the female to which he was crossed (unlike a lot of the 88GHP hybrids of Bodhi’s, just as an example), but it does seem to introduce elements that’re almost predictable and at the same time surprising and unique. I realize that I’m kind of contradicting myself by saying that, but I mean it haha. This Banana Soap is very, very good, but not similar to the Wat Phos or the Chocolate Blitz or whatever. I think the closest comparison would be those three really good Bandaid Haze ix 3.0 whatever whatever that I grew a while back, in that those and the Banana Soap all smoke very “comfortably.” But the Wat Phos do and the Chocolate Blitz did, too, so… haha. I dunno. I just love all of those A5T hybrids, haven’t been disappointed in any of them yet.
Anyway, zero rush during the comeup (if you can even call it a comeup) on this one. Big-time creeper, which I fucking love. It’s like I blaze some, I wait a little bit and then voila!, I’m really high! haha. The first time I smoked some, I actually wondered if maybe I should do a fourth bong rip after about fifteen minutes. But I didn’t haha. I waited and like 45 minutes in (or what felt like 45 minutes), I was totally satisfied. Just all-around good, smile-y, happy weed.
I have gotten some pretty huge munchies after blazing this, but I’m not sure if that isn’t because I’ve lost a shitload of weight since I started the new job and don’t really eat too much on work days, just because it’s so fucking hot and sweaty. I think the munchies may just be because I’ve been hungry the last couple days haha, weed or no weed.
Anyway, yeah… Nice and easy comedown, no lethargy. It just kinda wears off, which I also really like. This is great, great weed. In fact, I’m gonna spark another joint of it right after I post this haha.
