My plant came from the only seed I germinated from a dozen of small blackish seeds, and it was started quite late, around late June. In early veg she's shown good vigor and hardiness without stretching too much. After transplanting outdoor she's been growing in natural soil, and was fertilized very little. She also became a treat to an eye very soon with huge, dark green, slender fan leaves and red stems. She started flowering by the end of August, but that was initially visible only from very small pistils and massive stretching. In two weeks she grew up around 4 feet to stop around middle September, when she also started showing absolutely beautiful pinky pistils, sprinkling from crown-like flowers!
By the end of flowering she had amazing, kinda lilac flower smell, which spread out well especially in the rain. Budz were very fluffy with long internodal distance, and by the end they started turning purple/red. The whole plant also started getting U shape by leaning over at this point, so she actually became a bit shorter. She caught septoria as most of my plants did around late August, but wasn't very bothered with it. After heavy rains in middle October and rise in humidity she also caught grey mold, but only on single calyxes, which was easy to remove, and didn't affect yield seriously.
She was eventually taken with around 80% of cloudy and 20% amber trichs, and while I was doing it I managed to roll some charas. Flowers dried very quickly, and became very loose just after 3 days. Initially I smoked my charas, but because the ball was small I didn't get very high. Regardless, the smoke was amazing and has shown its deeply mystical/spiritual quality with light euphoria.
Yes, it's the most amazing high I've had in years, although after two more experiences I still cannot figure what the potency is. Basically, a smaller dose of this sativa gives you spiritual insights, energy, light euphoria, and gets you together with nature. You're also very clear headed, but then you totally lose interest with any complicated work, and it's because you just have to ride this great rush! In a bigger dose this weed can be a killer though as another day I found myself going off the orbit almost, half an hour after I smoked some shake, mostly pistils. So Nanda Devi can be very gentle, but can also take you to the edge like a rocket if you smoke too much.
The worst thing about Nanda Devi is taste, which is harsh, grassy and really heavy on the lungs. But then I smoked untrimmed budz as soon as they were dry, so that might improve with curing. Still, this is probably the best bud I ever smoked in my life as no commercial sativa-dominant stuff got me this high, and no weed had so much character. Absolutely recommended for landrace sativa lovers with good outdoor conditions!
Smell in early/middle flowering: Floral
Smell in late flowering: Lilac flower
Smell after drying and very short curing: Lilac flower and raspberries
Taste of bud: Harsh, grassy, salty (one of the worst I ever experienced)
Taste of hand rolled hash (charas): Resinous, but dry, and lightly fruity
High: Pure bliss with deep mystical and euphoric feeling all the way, extremely clear-headed and happy
Rating: A++
Medicinal use: Hard to say really
