Smoke Report - Northern Light Auto by Royal Queen Seeds.
The plants were harvested Aug 3 and have been slowly drying, hanging in the tent. Relative Humidity has been generally in the mid 50’s ranging from 48% to 64% over that period of time. They are not quite to the ‘clean twig snap’ stage yet. I popped a nice fat bud from #2 for a taste test.
The bud was sticky, with a faint smell of forest after a rain. Gummed up a freshly cleaned grinder! The ground bud has a mild pleasant herbal smell.
First impressions vaping was that it had a light, soft taste but a touch harsh in the back of the throat.
The initial impression of the high was a warm and fuzzy feeling, a lot like waking up on a morphine drip. No ‘elevator feeling’ but a very stealthy creeper (5 min. in). There is what I would describe as a coniferous after taste (more hemlock than pine) with a slight ‘behind the ears’ tickle.
This is a well balanced buzz, I’d swear I was feeling some CBD in there (but I don’t think there’s much if any CBD).
10 minutes in and it was definitely Fallout 4 time (you know – for science…)
Reaction and aiming slightly degraded. Really getting into the wall textures etc.
Melee definitely working better than ranged weapons. More of an interest in logistical exercises than combat. No ‘loss of location’ experience like with a heavy Sativa.
See? Science
The effects of the buzz lasted about 2 hours, nice gentle landing. After waiting another hour I rolled a spliff and smoked that. Similar effects but attenuated. A bit harsher than vaping. Light buzz that lasted an hour.
Impressions:
Middle of the road potency, very mild taste. I am sure that the higher than normal temperatures (mid to high 80’s) during this grow contributed to that mild taste.
A well balanced high. I think this might be good as a medicinal plant as well as recreational.
My sons (28, 30 light users) find my personel flower too strong so hopefully this will be great for them.
