T-1000 - A selection of Old Family Purple - Clone
I picked up this clone from Archive in Portland. She’s a pretty quick finisher, I’d say she could be done in under 65 days, she turns out a little better if you run her to 70 or longer. While growing, it reeked of sweet magnolias and funk, but now that she’s all cured up, it’s gunpowder, grapes, and gas. I wish she held on to the funk smell a little bit more, that’s one downside to her. I’ve dried her twice now and she’s lost that deep deep funk both times, and I know my drying was on point, because all the other herb came out real funky. She’s definitely better after being in the jars a good a while, seeming to continue to get better with age. The gas and funk is there, you just gotta break up the hard buds to release it. The gunpowder thing is interesting, but thankfully doesn’t translate to the taste, cause that would be little weird. Taste slightly of grapes and mostly really good herb. If I’m smoking it, I like to leave it out in a dispo jar overnight so it dries up real nice, if I’m vaping I’ll prefer it more on the wetter side, straight from the cure jar.
As you can tell from the photos, she’s packed with resin. Now that doesn’t mean shit, but I will say she would probably be a good hash rosin producer, I got a ton of dry sift from the buds. I’m thinking about buying a rosin press soon, so I’ll maybe comeback with feedback after I press some.
The high is a pretty heavy hitter. I didn’t like it at first, when it was fresh. It kinda gave me this scatter-brained high, also it would give me headaches. But now that it’s been dried awhile, it’s much better. I don’t believe in the whole indica/sativa thing, but I’d classify this a chill, listen to music, watch a movie, gorge yourself with pie, type of high. Although I will say, I’m weird and I smoked some this morning to try and give an honest review, and it ended up kind of energizing me… I took all the photos and wrote this stuff, but I definitely feel it in my body too, a subtle but comforting heaviness. Only downside about the high is that I wish it was a little longer lived… hits heavy at first but tapers pretty quick. You can always smoke more, but there’s definitely a ceiling with this one. I’d say it’s a good once a day, chill out, eat something, then sleep, kind of bud. But hey, to each their own, and I would love to hear some other experiences with it…
