Humboldt Strain Review

• Strain Name: Humboldt
• Genetics: A Mystery Plant from Humboldt X Jack 33
• Breeder: CH9 Female Seeds
• Flowering: 53 days
• Type: Sativa/Indica
• Camera Used: iPhone 4

So again my pet turtle was able to source some herbal flowers to vape and combust! - How do you aliens out there take your herbs?

Gathered by experienced bean hunters. CH9 Female seeds have collected genetics from Humboldt and crossed it with their own. So basically sourced genetics with a mystery indica plant from Humboldt. USA and crossed it with their own CH9 Jack 33. which is Jack Herer X Flower. So alot of genetics in this europeans would possibly enjoy!

Looks wise it's not to impressive but it's super dense. rock hard solid buds.. That have been cured for 3 and a half months in mason jars.

The aroma is super floral. flowery affair. almost mild perfume type.. With layers of old school afghan spice with a spicey peppery haze.

So let's get to the effect.. The effect on the herb is very mild. uplifting. sativa type clear head high that creeps in. a lot.. The  Eyes also do feel sink slightly. It's a very nice subtle medicinal stone off this strain.

Can taste hash plant in this strain. Which blends in with the pepper. haze very old school nostalgic taste.

Medicinally this is very good for for a day and night time smoke.. The indica side does really stay there for a while and can really catch you out and couch lock you after a while.

Herbalist rating of 6.5/10

Jacky White Strain Review

 

• Strain Name: jacky White
• Breeder: Paradise Seeds
• Genetics: Jack Herer x White Widow
• Type: Sativa (75) / Indica (25)
• THC: 15-18%
• Flowering: 58 Days.
• Picture: iPhone 4

Do you want to get medicated? .. Meet 'Jacky White' created by the team Paradise Seeds!
 
This sativa dominant rich strain comes like a old school haze in formation, but this is a hybrid so the White Widow genetics evolve to make this an early strong finisher and big yielder! Looks wise the buds are quite haze like in formation... You can see the Jack parents traits in the herbs more so then anything else. with the Jack orange fox tailed hairs.
 
This bud reeks of the Jack Herer characteristics.. Real super sharp citrus nodes that linger quite potent around the room. only hints of the White Widow. with the Sweet and Musk smell but strongly over powered by the Jacky! 
 
After curing in jars. The Smell of Jacky White. leaned towards a very special 'Grapefruit' appeal.. The Jack citrus lemons and limes cure out into a really unique grapefruit smell. I've come across this on the 'Early Haze' strain. 
 
The Effect is quite mild. racey. anxious - typical of a Sativa..  Then the Indica side comes in to balance or limit that effect. 
 
A great day time smoke. nice for some energy.. Relaxing. Effects are quite nice. Impressed with the grapefruit smell after cure.
 
Downsides i see to this strain are. it's quite stretchy. It may need some training and a lot more gardening and care to this plant. I've also seen this with other jacky white crosses about. But on flipside it's a high yielder.

Cheese Dinafem Review
 
 
 

• Strain Name: Cheese
• Breeder: Dinafem
• Genotype: Old School UK Skunk x Afghani
• Genetics: Exodus Clone x Afghani Indica Landrace
• THC: 9-14%
• Type: Indica 60% - Sativa 40%
• Price: £25 per 3.5g
• Picture: Phone Camera

Another Dinafem product - Grown out 12/12 light cycle from seed.  58 daysin total.. It pummels out aromas of dank, skunk, earth/musk & it's very pungent, old school classic/vintage cheese!
 
Dinafem used a Exodus Clone with a landrace Afghani Indica stable strain - That grows out-stretched leaves and slim stalks, but that results in really thick, dense flowers..- The strain has been included in the Top Ten in most coffee-shops located in Amsterdam, Netherlands for a while. 
 
Looks wise the buds are very hard and dense. dry but caked in big heavy sticky trichromes, which leave fingers like super-glue - leaving the typical 'cheese' stench! 
 
Effect is quite stable and mild, due to the high CBD content in it, Which balances the cerebral and physical combination out. which remains for a long time. but very subtle, real medicinal.
 
Taste wise, reminds me of some old school skunk number 1 which is very nostalgic for me. Blended in with a nice full rounded body afghan traits. This seems to be another nice strain from Dinafem guys. It's very balanced.. 
 
Nice night time relaxing strain. very good for getting hungry easily on... Even though the effect is quite subtle and mild due to the CBD and Indica dominance.. It really creeps up on you. so be prepared with some chicken and chips, pizza what ever you can feast on.
