Vaporizer (enter the brand name) []
Pipe (size-type, ie medium-glass) [ ]
Joint (enter brand of papers) [Smoking Master paper, slim & backrolled]
Other (specify):


# (Use numbers 1-9 on descriptors that apply to the taste where a one indicates a subtle presence and a nine indicates a very pronounced presence. Delete the existing space when marking a descriptor in order to maintain the columns in alignment.)

Ammonia [1] Earthy [3] Licorice [ ] Peach [ ] Berry [ ] Floral [2] Mango [ ] Pepper [ ] Blueberry [ ] Fruit [1] Meat [ ] Petroleum [ ] Bubblegum [ ] Grape [ ] Melon [ ] Pine [ ] Cedar [ ] Grapefruit [ ] Menthol [ ] Pineapple [ ] Cherry [1] Grass/Hay [ ] Mint [1] Rotten [ ] Chocolate [ ] Hash [ ] Mold [ ] Skunk [1] Citrus [ ] Iron/Rust [X] Musk [ ] Spice [ ] Coconut [ ] Leather [ ] Nutmeg [ ] Strawberry [ ] Coffee [ ] Lemon [ ] Orange [ ] Vanilla [ ]

# Smoke ability: [8] (Rate the smoke ability of the sample from 1-10 harsh-smooth.)

# Smoke expansion: [6] (Rate how the smoke expands in the lungs from 1-10 stable-explodes.)

# Smoke test comments:

Taste: Great smoke, taste is great. A nice combo of earthy and floral taste with a little rust aftertaste.

Effect: For a indica strain, this is just unbelievable. At first, you feel like some hot air surrounds you coming from above. Then you are very relaxed and very happy. After a quater of the joint you feel like you could stay and chill or discuss something with your friends for the rest of your life, you are so relaxed and you have no worries at all. If you smoke more then the whole discussion becomes a laugh. Doesn't put me to sleep, but it relaxes me a lot. Then the sleep is one of the most peacefull sleeps I've had. This isn't a couchlock strain as I was expecting from a 100% indica strain.

Good report. Sounds like a great strain.

How big did it get outdoors? Bushy? How did it handle 100 degree heat? 110 degrees if it got that hot?

Outdoor finish date? what latitude?

Thank You

Thanks! :wave:

Height outdoors: 1.5-2 meters, very bushy because I transplanted them out after 4 or 5 toppings and made some lst one month after transplant.
This years summer wasn't as hot as others, but we had over 40 degree C (100 degree F) on some days and they were ok.
Finished 10-15 oct. 2009 @ 45' N

Later edit: No, it isn't Master Kush.
