guava f2 B #2 initial smoke report
Smells just like a strawberry rhubarb pie with a slightly burnt crust. Very fruity, but with a hint of smoke or char.
In flower this plant had an intense smell of overripe fruit. At harvest, it smelled really dank and gasoline like. As it dried, the fruit smell intensified and became more tart, and the gasoline smell faded into a smoky charred aroma. There is a hint of cream in this one as well, much like the f2 b #1 and the outdoor guava B f1 clone.
On the inhale it tastes like it smells, tart strawberry, and a sweet burnt sugar char. Tastes similar on the exhale, very sweet. Then, like a surprise twist ending, you get a totally different flavor on the cough.
It’s an intense japanese food flavor, like chicken yakitori or maybe an intense miso soup made with dried salted mackerel broth. It’s really weird. At first I was really confused (and high), and I thought it was a lingering flavor from something I ate earlier. It was so unusual, it took me a long time to put it together that the flavor was the bud I was smoking. Hit it again this morning. Intense yakitori flavors. Super weird.
Both Guava B f2’s have intense flavors on the cough. (Kind of like the old strawberry cough.) I think I may be developing a taste for this one, but obviously I prefer the intense mango cream and passionfruit flavor of b #1.
B #2 follow up-
The smell changed substantially after a long cure. The sweetness is gone. it now smells like incredibly sour fresh strawberry and rhubarb, instead of a sweet and jammy burnt pie. The smoky burnt aroma has faded, but there are still definite hints of burnt pastry in the background. In addition to the sour fruit smell, there is an additional funky fermented note like apple cider vinegar and active yeast cultures.
Even though I loved the flavor, smell, and high, I didn’t end up smoking a lot of this one. I overdried the buds, and they weren’t in great shape because of the late harvest to get ripe seeds. The flower ended up harsh because of the overdried raggedy buds.
Yesterday I shucked it all and broke it down to make hash. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything so crusted in keef. some of the buds had so much resin on the interior surface area of the buds that keef poured out of them like sand when I broke them apart. The keef got everywhere, even though I was wearing gloves and handling it carefully. Keef got all over my clothes, in my hair, in my eyes, and up my nose.
The keef from this one spreads like glitter, it gets everywhere and you can’t clean it up no matter how hard you try. There was so much keef all over everything that by the end, I was absolutely fed up with it. I can’t work with millions of tiny crystals, so I’ll use alcohol to fuse them all together into one giant crystal.
I’m going to set up my enail again soon and want to have plenty of good concentrates to vaporize. This will be insane as a concentrate.
I let this one go way too late trying to get ripe seeds. It has particularly large seeds which took forever to ripen, by the time the seeds were ready some of the bud was dead or dying. This plant really suffered from being overripe, I lost about a third of the harvest to die off (ie buds drying out and browning on the plant).
This pheno was a very very quick finisher, which made decent sized insanely dense colas. But very difficult to produce seeds from. Really unique smell and flavor, excellent potency, stupid levels of keef production.
