This isn't really a smoke report, more of a 'fuck me, i'm pretty nicely cabbaged' ramble. This is Lowryder#2, the second, later one. It's only just able dry enough to smoke but it's a clean burn and no harshness. It's way more tasty than the first, earlier one and the buds are moist with trichs...and just a little too moist, but it smokes. I know someone's going to tell me I know fuck all, but there's something very hazy tasting in there but it's not a typical taste. It's hard to describe, or I can't describe it...it's not fruity, not citrus...maybe musty with a haze taste. I'm mullered and I'm not good at this at the best of times. The genetics are LR and Santa Maria, but no idea what SM is like and if that's the hazy tones I think I taste. It ain't skunky, kushy or any of those more obvious flavours. It's nice enough tastewise. I'd give it a 6.5/10. Better than average but miles off anything quality.
As for the buzz, this one was chopped a bit later (71 days I think, or thereabouts) and the trichs were probably about 60-70% cloudy, rest clear-ish. The buzz is decent and hits, and feels quality, but doesn't last all that long. It's mostly head with a bit of body, and the body bit is really nice. Wish I'd left it for ambers. The head is okay...not really creative zone material, but not anxiety inducing or speedy either. It's a nice comfortable buzz that isn't sending me nodding when overdoing it, so has enough head to keep things level.
I need to properly cure this second plant because it should get much better over the next week or two...but I'm definitely surprised by it. It's much pokier and flavourful than I expected, although I had low expectations.
In summary it's a very good above average smoke. It's not shit, ditchweed, schwag, low THC or anything else. I'm willing to put money down in a blind smoke test if anyone thinks otherwise. It's also not primo smoke compared to the rest of the cannabis world... so far the taste is good but not 'wow' or even moreish. The buzz is good, not great. It's not the most useful buzz because it doesn't do anything particularly well, it just does it competently...and averagely. But not shit! And for an auto, with all the convenience in time, space, equipment etc... it's amazing.
If shit happened and for whatever reason I couldn't score or grow properly, if I had to I could smoke this and not be that unhappy (compared with schwag, gritweed, soapbar or any of the medium grade powerplant that circulates).
Right...that was a ramble...my eyes are dry and blinking uncontrolalbly...i've lost an hour or two somehwere...there's an empty pack of digestives next to me and I still want more... this definitely ain't shite. One day in the next 2 years there'll be a semi-decent SSH auto, or MK auto. Lazyness and shortness ftw!
