Hi everyone,
Have just finished growing up two Nirvana Aurora Indica girls and thought I would upload a smoke report for you all.
Gotta give a big thanks to simon for his thread on drying/curing as this technique has improved the end result of the product unbelievably. The RH in the jars is stabilising now to an even 64% and I plan to cure at this rate for the next month in the dark to attain maximum potency and flavour while the next crop comes up!
Today, after 5 days of drying and 4 days of curing, I had a whole day smoking session with a mate so we could rate each girl that I grew. In short, we were absolutely blown away at the potency and texture, the product feels evenly dry on the inside and the outside now. After being grinded, all the trichomes and the fat, swollen calyxes come falling out from inside the bud and glisten when placed under a light. Just beautiful stuff!
Did not taste of anything in particular when smoked other than wonderfully smooth smoke, not too dense. When vaporised however, the aftertaste shone through and gave off a pleasant fruity, hashy taste; the odour it gave off while flowering. The buds retain the most even glow when burned and they burn down to nothing. Without a doubt this is the best weed I have ever smoked! My friend agreed.
A short summary of each plant's specific highs:
Aurora Indica 1
High creeps on slowly but hits you soon enough, stimulating the senses then descends the entire body into a deep, trance like state with eyes and head feeling very heavy. It's as if one's whole body is sinking slowly into a nice warm bath and everything feels warm. Incredibly long lasting high that starts off intense but reaches a plateau after about thirty minutes and breaks into a consistently comfortable stone from then on. No ill feelings were experienced in the slightest throughout the whole high.
Aurora Indica 2
This girl was a bit more of a psychedelic experience, but that may have been the Pink Floyd we had playing in the background at that time! First couple of hits gives the body a swelling, pleasurable feeling of focussing in and out like a whole body stretch. The mind is swirling. I notice an enhanced appreciation of the world around me and again like AI 1, the high then plateaued out into a long lasting, delightfully sedated stone. This strain would be fantastic for medicinal users. A true pure indica living up to its couch-lock genes even after being chopped 1-2 weeks early!
I would highly recommend these two girls for an after dinner/about to go to sleep smoke as you will definitely feel like hitting the bed and never getting up again. Insomnia be gone!
And now for some final dry harvest pics!:
One of the mini heads that came off the main stem
Incredibly potent little nugget!
Glistening trichomes suddenly became more visible on the buds after curing for a few days
They were virtually non-existent after the first five days of drying
AI 1 all jarred up
Great bag appeal IMHO
AI 1 main cola all dried and cured
12.25g dry
AI 1 & AI 2 in jars. RH stabilising at 64%-65% now
AI 1 came in at 37.23g, AI 2 at 32.90g
Total: 70.13g (2.5 Oz)!!!
Happy growing!
