Smoke Report....
Tangie Phenotype #2
This tangie was the one that was front and center in the tent, and had 4 nice fat colas. It was one of the medium sized plants, and had a very ugly bud structure with foxtails coming out of every which way. It also though had a very strong fragrance too while growing so I was curious how she would be upon harvest.
This plant was actually dried better than some of the others as it was one of the first ones I chopped and also seemed that the buds had a more airy structure, not meaning the buds were airy, but the way the buds developed was like a ton of little buds would make up 1 large cola, so it seemed with the foxtailing and the structure allowed it to dry faster than the others.
I'm not exactly a fan of the bud structure on these, pretty ugly if you ask me, but they are coated with a lot of resin. Depending on how the others smoke vs this one, it may be a keeper but its debatable right now...
The Smell:
The smell of these buds is very very potent. Just cracking the jar fills the room with the aroma. The smell of this tangie pheno (#2) is very hard to describe. Its very sweet, buttery and citrus skunk to it. More citrus than any of the other smells though. I definitely like the smell of this one, different than the others and smells similar to #8.
The Inhale:
Upon inhale, the smoke is very smooth, easy on the throat with very little throat hit, and no expansion in the lungs. Its one of those were you can take a nice hit, hold it comfortably and then let it out slow letting the flavor roll across your pallet. Upon inhale the taste is more skunky sweet than anything else, but upon exhale something wonderful happens, you can actually completely sense a change in flavor as exhaling as it moves to a very sweet citrus flavor comes over your tastebuds. As far a taste, 10 being unbelievable, I probably would put the flavor at a 8, but the potency only around a 7.
The Effect:
So this one I took 3 hits from the same pipe as I sampled the other pheno with. I put a nice fat bud from one of the main cola's in the bowl and took a small hit, just enough to get a little smoke for the taste. Then I took 2 normal sized hits and waited. Immediately you can feel a rush of awakeness and energy within the first few seconds, followed by a body energy boost as well. This one is a lot more clear as far as thoughts and its much easier than pheno #6 to think on track and not get distracted. This one is much more of a body energy than a mental energy, where the brain seems clear and able to focus, but definitely a mild euphoric feeling too. No heavyness at all though, nothing that would make you hit the couch, very much a great smoke for hiking or outdoor activities as its clear and uplifting and fun feeling. Not super strong as I mentioned above out of 10 I would give it like a 7..
Overall:
Well overall this one is impressive, but its definitely not my favorite pheno, as a few of the others really have captured my attention. I have a vegging plant of this one in my 3rd tent to keep the genetics, but depending on how the other 4 finish this next grow, I may either cull this one or keep it depending on how the other smoke reports go, and the next harvest. What really turns me off is the bud structure, its just ugly.. and the potency is there, but not as strong as the others. I may change my mind as time goes on but this one is possibly likely to be cut.
Still a great smoke, don't get me wrong, but for pheno selection, its gotta be the best.. and this one remains questionable when looked at in the whole picture.
On a good note though the high is very clear which I like so who knows, it may pair really nice with my sativa dom black cherry soda
man that would be an amazing combo
Here are some photos...
**note... In the photos I took them under 3 different light scenereo's to give the full aspect of them. The first few photos were taken with a LED flashlight on, the phone camera flash on, and a cfl ceiling lamp on(soon to be led
). The 2nd set of photos is with the camera flash off, and the LED flashlight on, with ceiling light on. The 3rd set of photos is with no flashlight, no camera flash and just the cfl ceiling light.
