Smoke Report:
Both samples were fresh frozen and freeze-dried for 13 hours, then re-humidified to 60% in two hours at ambient room conditions
FPOG F4
Appearance:
I am color blind. Lime green with some reds and such. First time freeze drying, but I am thrilled with the look of these. Curious to see how time in the jar changes the light coloration. Pardon the growers trim. Super lightweight fluffy nugs that still appear dense.
Smell:
Not super pungent when cracking a jar, and there is a slight fresh/hay-ish smell that I hope cures away. The prominent smell is dried fruity pebbles cereal. Upon grinding up a bud, the fruitiness is complemented nicely by a classic dank purfume-y OG thing.
Taste:
Consumed in a clean bowl, a clean-ish bong, and a Mighty Vaporizer. Smoke from the bowl and bong both produced well balanced flavors of sweet fruit and kushy notes coating the mouth. Vaping indeed tasted of dry fruit pebbles with and Kush flavors taking a back seat.
Potency & Effect:
I consumed in the AM, on a lazy Sunday, just watching footie and cleaning random things. This encouraged all of that, but also lessened my focus on staying on task. My mind would drift, but I could snap back to cogent thoughts at a moments notice. Hardly any body heaviness, although this could have gone another few days to ripen. High lasted about 2 hours.
7/10 potency
Banana Kush F10
Appearance:
Pretty, golf ball nugs. Maybe green and red. Not dense buds, because the drying process, everything is fluffy. I love it.
Smell:
Once again, I don’t know how it will cure out, but there is a background note of fresh/hay-ish. The primary component is sweet artificial bananas. This more pungent than the FPOG in the jar. After grinding, the fruitiness is still forward, but additional slight notes of funk and fuel are added in the background.
Taste:
The banana comes through a bit in the flavor in both smoke and vapor, but it devolves to a more generic sweetness, still very good. No fuel or funk on the flavor. Not terribly complex, just straight-forward sweet banana fruitiness.
Potency/Effect:
This was consumed before and during my AM coffee. It made me into a space cadet for about an hour while I was figuring out what to do today. Very happy weed which had me just kind of wandering around my house going from task to task, not really accomplishing much. Mostly head effects, but I noticed my muscles were feeling a bit more loosened. No couch lock, sleepiness or munchies. Probably harvest a couple days early. High lasted 1.5 to 2 hours.
7/10 Potency
All in all, I would likely grow both strains again from seed, as i have almost full packs of each. I will give them more space next time, as these got a bit crowded out in early flower and never stacked.
I will pull out the press this afternoon and post up some results on Fresh Frozen Flower Rosin. I have yet to see anyone try that.
