Humboldt Black Afghani

This was grown outdoors in Humboldt somewhere and I've had it curing in jars for about 3 months. When I got it the herb was a little wet and pretty bright green. The smell was ok - not like grass but not too pungent - kindy earthy. The trim job is spectacular.

During the cure the buds have darkened significantly to what are probably the darkest nugs I've ever seen. The smell has developed nicely and is basically lemony/earthy/chocolatey . .in that order. I was surprised by the lemon component of the smell because I didn't detect that at all when the bud was just dry. The super dense buds will remind you that hemp makes strong rope . .my wrists are tired! If I load the grinder full it's all I can do just to twist it. I currently have a bunch of strains and there are some indoor nugs I have that look denser but are way easier to grind.

The buds are all very uniform looking and are coated with a dense carpet of small trichomes. My camera isn't able to show them, though, because they are small (edit - I figured out how to use the macro function and added another shot!).




The smoke tastes harsher than most indoor herb but, beyond that, it is really delicious. It's an earthy/hashy/chocolate type of taste. It tastes sort of similar to Master Kush . . .minus the pineyness. It's a subtle taste, too . . if you don't think about it you won't really detect much of a taste.

The high is my favorite part. It is a solid, good ol fashioned stoning that you receive from toking this. The most euphoric pot I've had in a while, it is nice and buzzy and tends to make my face feel warm. It goes nicely with a few drinks, too. The high lasts pretty long, too - over an hour which is good for me. I find that I can smoke this herb all day. I recently went on a trip and this was the only herb I took with me.

Somewhere between 1 to 3 "one-hitters" is my normal doseage. 1 for grocery shopping/running errands, going out to eat, etc and up to 3 if I am just watching a movie or want to get blazed.

2. 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.

3. Taste: 8
Rate your impression of the taste from 1-10 unpleasant-delicious.
Comment: Awesome but subtle taste - minus points because it is a little harsh.

4. State of dryness: 10
Rate the dryness of the bud from 1-10 wet-dry where 5 is ideal.
Comment: The nugs are what I consider perfect . .absolutley dry but plump and resistent to the squeeze.

5. smoke ability: 9
Maybe a little harsh - otherwise I'd say 10. I was using a 1 hitter, though, which is unforgiving in the taste dept. A bong completely eliminates any harshness.

6. Smoke expansion: 5
Rate how the smoke expands in the lungs from 1-10 stable-explodes.
Comment: Nice heavy smoke. Doesn't really make you cough, though.


1. __[1 hit / .5g max ]__ Dosage

Comment: Very potent.

2. __[3]__ Effect onset
Rate how quickly the effect hit from 1-10 immediate-major creeper.

3. __[1]__ Sativa influence
Rate the sativa influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Sativa
influence is best described as a clear and energetic mental effect.


4. __[10]__ Indica influence

influence is best described as a sedative, lethargic or numbing
effect that affects the body.

A nice indica high minus the sleepy/lethargic.

Rate the potency of the sample from 0-10 none-devastating.

This is really potent weed. It won't knock you out, though.

6. __[2 hours minimum if not stoned beforehand]__ Duration
Indicate the duration of time that the effects lasted.


7. __[3]__ Tolerance build up
Rate how quickly tolerance builds from 0-10 none-rapid. Leave this
field blank if you have not used this sample repeatedly.

I've smoked this every day for as long as a week and kept on getting higher.


8. Usability
Rate on a scale of 1-9 where a one indicates the worst time of day
to consume this strain and a nine represents the ideal time of day.
Leave field(s) blank if you have not yet formed an opinion.

Morning - wake up [5]
Day - work [5]
Evening - relax [10]

This weed is perfect for the afterwork bowl and brew.
