Smell: smells a lot like GSC, but maybe a little more of a Pinesol flavor to it. It has that sweet and muted spicy (like doughy) GSC smell, but a little more piney/minty... like I said, Pinesol pungency.
Taste: initial drag on an unlit joint -- very pleasant, like minty, sweet, herbal...
Toke: very similar to GSC... a little coughier though... pretty harsh toward the end... doesn't stay lit well, and tends to produce black weed rather than ash in a pipe, so be sure to be persistent in lighting it or you'll throw out unsmoked herb.
Stone: i dunno, it's kind of a watered-down review for this, because my tolerance is so high right now. I bet if your tolerance wasn't high, you would get a lot more psychedelics than I did, because it does seem like the mental part does lean in that direction... This struck me as a "stony" strain, that just gets you to where all you want to do is sit there and contemplate your naval. It's very nice and very relaxing, but don't expect to get much done.
I would rate this strain higher, but there are no fractions of stars and it's not a 5. Ok, gonna take you all the way through...
So, the colas -- they both look and smell somewhat like their GSC parent. The smell is pleasant, but has a Pinesol-like bite to it. Definitely some pine, and some sort of spice that you've never heard of before -- like an herbal spice. I'm trying to detect any sort of "sweet" nuance, but not really, not as much as GSC. It does have some ammonia-type smell, or like I said, Pinesol or other pine-scented cleaner. Pleasant, though.
Taste-wise, when I suck on the fatty I rolled... here's where a bit of sweetness shows up. Tastes really good... like some kind of minty gum. Delicious.
Lighting up now... interesting -- it's actually quite smooth, like the smoke is smooth. I find that is kind of rare, esp. for high THC strains. When I take a big hit and hold it in, it definitely messes with my lungs though, and I'm coughing way more than I usually do. I think this is a good sign, like it's expanding in my lungs (I mean, if you believe the urban legend that it means high THC). So the smoke going into your mouth and through the pipes to your lungs is smooth, but once in your lungs, it kind of wreaks havoc.
I've only smoked 1/4 of the joint, and I can already feel some effects. (the joint keeps going out while I type) I can feel my mind having that "stuck in motion" thing where I will lose my train of thought or completely forget what I wanted to think about. I will be back later with more observations...
Ok, so this is a real thought-provoker. I've had numerous conversations with myself, at least one with God, and have been pondering some pretty interesting shit. I can tell that if I was around someone or on the phone, I'd probably talk their ear off. I think the description by Leafly says that this is an indica-dominant hybrid, but for me, it seems to be more sativa-dominant. I mean, my body does feel really relaxed, so relaxation is definitely an effect.
Hm... there are also some psychedelic effects. I can look at the wall and see figures and drawings in color on a white wall. Stuff like that. Also, my tolerance is very high, but it still packs a punch. I'd say I'm pretty dysfunctional right now. But my mind seems really alive and creative.
Alright peoples, peace out!
ps. 3 joints later, I just want to say: tweet, tweet!
This strain really takes over -- a sativa-dominant high that keeps you in the "zone" for a long time. You can take whatever route you decide, and it will enhance it. It gives you the mind space to be active, but the stone is so hard-hitting that you prefer to just chill. Not couch lock, but just you will become blissfully drifting off to sleep if you want. If you prefer to watch a movie, do something fun, listen to music, or eat, you will also really enjoy it. A very likeable strain.
