Alright folks so here is my first smoke report! Each individual bud still smells slightly grassy so they still have a couple more weeks to fully cure, but I figured I could take some data now and then again in two weeks to see the improvement
I removed a chunk from the bottom of this bud from Frosty to smoke (hence why the stem is exposed) and tbh I like this look, it reminds me of a bone-in frenched ribeye steak, mmmm
Smell: 8.5/10, (Whole jar) Citrus/lemon, hints of blueberry, and a delightful cheesy undertone emanate when I open the jar. At first the single bud did not have much smell but when I broke off a piece and crumbled it into my bubbler, all of the above mentioned smells came out in full force! Very nice! Should continue to improve over the next two weeks
Taste: 8/10, Mild sweetness on exhale, one particular hit really legitimately tasted like blueberries! The others were relatively mild. Again, the taste should continue to improve as the buds finish curing.
Smoothness: 7.5/10, the first hit or two were a bit harsh, which makes sense, there is still plenty of chlorophyll to break down. After the first couple hits it was quite smooth though, and I was able to take big hits with no coughing or irritation.
Burning quality: 10/10, I only had to light the bowl once and it stayed cherried for the whole 10 minutes! I believe this is a combination of dense bud and also the Silica that I used to supplement the plants. Silica strengthens the cell walls and allows the flame to pass more easily through the bud and stay lit. The top shelf buds from our local retailer only stay lit for a short amount of time and I have to keep re-lighting, so this was a pleasant surprise!
Effects: 9/10, Pleasant euphoria, an overall sense of happiness and well being starting from my chest and head and then radiating in waves throughout my body. I noticed tingling in my legs and feet and also felt a head buzz equivalent to maybe 2 decent beers. The effects lasted for approximately 1.5-2 hours. It definitely did not knock me out, but I was still able to fall asleep easily. I woke up this morning feeling extremely refreshed and rejuvinated
Total score: 43/50
Average score: 8.6/10
I will take a sample from the same bud in 2 weeks to compare the effects of additional curing time! Also, over the next few days I want to repeat this process with a bud from each of the other 3 plants to see the similarities and differences, so stay tuned!
