Sour Kush
9/16/2012
Been smoking this more or less full time over the last couple of months. Gotta say it's a very nice on a day-to-day basis, the punch of the kush hits you regardless of any tolerance you may have developed (I'm looking at you chronic stoners), but it doesn't take you into the realm of panic attacks that other heavy hitting strains can do.
The high is totally relaxing, I see other people are smoking it for pain relief, I found it just as effective for stress/anxiety. Take a couple of hits and just feel that wave of wellbeing wash over you, prepare to spend the next hour or two grinning for no apparent reason.
I find this strain to be fairly dehydrating, drink plenty of water to keep the dries at bay. I found it mostly gave dry-mouth, although occasionally dry yes and once headaches. The key here is plenty of water to keep side-effects at bay.
I also found that smoking this right before bed could cause momentary dizzy spells when trying to fall asleep. A bit like how the room spins when you're drunk, but *no* nausea to go with it.
The taste is complex, initially sour then diesel with a strong hash finish, it can take a bit of getting used to. Tobacco makes the smoke much smoother, taking out the 'fuelly' peaks and leaving the strong hash flavour.
Cured bud smells vaguely of tea-leaves with a hint of diesel, fresh bud or growing plants smell vaguely of diesel with a hint of lemon.
A rewarding smoke for the personal grower, this plant is of medium yield and approx 10 week flowering time for optimum characteristics.
