This is a very underrated strain. Well balanced.
Bluntly: good daily driver, hyperfocus for work or chores, no nervous energy/panic, and a mild pain abatement.
The Dirt: First the effect, I look for strains that help me focus and reduce anxiety while I work during the day. I own a business and all the BS that comes with that just melts away and I can just focus on the task at hand.
That focus is pretty strong, maybe too strong as I feel like I can get hyperfocused on a task and then a small thought comes across my mind and then I am intensely analyzing that thought. Never used Adderall for my ADD/Obsessive Thoughts diagnosis but I imagine this is pretty damn close - but less "energizing". There's a mildly sedative feel, and pain reduction (I deal with chronic headaches and tension, it feels lightly alleviated).
I've now experienced this in flower and concentrate form. Currently writing this after dabbing "Badder" off an e-nail and mini rig (for flavor reference and effect).
Smell: I get a melon mixed with chemical, maybe sour grapes - like the smell of rotting grapes/old wine and the alcohol that produces. In concentrate form, smells pretty close to Jenny Kush with more fruity overtones.
I was excited to try this in concentrate as I actually really enjoyed it in flower. I can remember the flower being nothing too memorable in terms of looks, you could see the indica/sativa balance, long Sativa looking calyx-y look, but slightly dense like some of my favorite night time indicas. I don't remember it being extremely triched, just an average (good) looking bud with OG Kush/GSC lineage. (Also could be influenced by the growers)
