Thanks Bigherb, Maha and Meizzwang for the compliment. And all the nice manna comments, I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to experience growing her.
Gotta say Meiz, you are posting some nice outdoor, hope you have weather to finish those to primo quality.
Bigherb, the SMC has to be the most beautiful buds to watch mature that's why the 20 weeks is cool, she almost goes through a metamorphosis like a butterfly, for a while you think nothing is happening while she starts flowering and about week 12 she starts turning purplish red with bright red hair and over the next 8 weeks she starts turning silver with the resin and the dreads start elongating and making cool shaped large buds. She also produces, from two plants on one side of my tent under a 315CMH I got 430gms. of bud so I scored on the grow show and the stash.
Flavor and high. To me the smoke is smooth hashy, herbal, earthy, tobacco, wood, no fruity or flowery. With curing both the high and flavor improve, although it's good as soon as it's dry. Grinds and rolls up like a dream.
High is very dreamy, spiritual and uplifting you could say thrilling at times no jitter, or paranoia, you feel it by the second or third hit, like it lights up your body. Just a very smooth hit with some heft to it, but gentle, not cough your lungs out, half way through you may want to take a break.
I think there may be seeds made with it, I would jump on the chance to grow her again any time.

Santa Marta Purple
TROPICAL SATIVA Introspective and Soaring
Collected from a family in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Mountains along the Caribbean coast, these heirloom crops are watered entirely by hand and grown using sustainable, noncommercial methods. These high-quality plants are derived from two lines, including an ancestral Colombian Highland Gold strain which reflects the traits of the original Santa Marta Golds that pre-date Colombia’s export market. The other line, simply referred to as La Mota, central American Spanish for “The Flower”. It is a selection made for magico-religious purposes by Arhuaco healers from a miniscule and extremely desirable portion of wild plants that existed in the region many generations ago. This population is thought to be ancestral to the vast majority of the Caribbean, Central and South American drug cultivars. The pure purple and purple gold types exhibit traits that lean heavily toward The Mota, and are a significant departure from the export-grade Cannabis produced by Colombia from 1972 to present day.
