disclaimer: please note that i grew this strain from commercial clones, not from seed, so i can't compare different phenotypes of this strain. since this is a rather complex cross, there might be some interesting phenos.


why i picked it:
i guess "Sativas from all around the equatorial zone" from the sensi description sealed it.
it sounded like some interesting genetics. a reasonable flowering time + yield was also a must.

sample size: over 80 grams so far

tools: ~80 % volcano vaporizer, rest in joints (weed + additive free tobacco)

smell: unremarkable. i can't really say more about it, that's how unremarkable it is. it smells like weed. ;-)

taste: a boring, slightly green weed taste (despite proper curing). sensi's description of "A strong and incredibly sweet aroma of pineapple-punch is the dominant flavour across the strain" is apparently not true.

effects: the high is of a relaxing indica dominated variety. it kinda switches off part of your brain and makes it easy to passively consume entertainment or escape nagging thoughts. it makes you mellow and a bit stupid with a bit of the giggles thrown in. not quite my fav. type of high. additionally, i get quite tired after repeated use. so i usually only smoke 1 round of ERSB and then switch to something else. it's nice to have a strain like that in your arsenal, but only as a 3rd or 4th option. it would be unsuitable to be my 'main strain'.

conclusion: i guess the cynic in me should have suspected that a strain that was in development for ages and then named [celebrity name] + SUPER BUD maybe wasn't all that 'super' and more of an attempt to recoup the invested time + money.
while ERSB isn't awful weed, it's just nothing special. smell, taste and high are all substandard in today's market. while the buds were very dense and the yield was good, this didn't balance out the other drawbacks. (not to mention the €140 pricetag if you buy seeds)

i would recommend giving ERSB a pass, unless you are looking for the specific traits mentioned, or if there are some totally different phenos out there.

Seems to be unbiased report, and good information on a strain thats just been hyped up
thks Max

[Blue Socks]

Yeah this is a really good smoke report. Thanks!

[yesum]

Wow, that is taking this strain down a notch! Sensi needs to reprice and rework some of their strains.

I think Ed is tha`masta! GO, ROSIE, GO!!

It would be more objective if you had grown packet of ERSB and then made judgement..

ERSB is complex hybrid and for sure has many phenotypes.

Who would want to buy a strain that has genes all over the place,
especially when it takes so long to develop a plant from seed?
Not knowing what to expect from a plant is a total waste of time. Tipz

i know!
that's why i pointed it out twice.

[zachrockbadenof]

a sativa that has indica effects...

Seeds are always a Crapshoot. Polyhybrids can still yield winners. Having said that, I ran a pack ERSB and found Nothing. lol...
