Black Widow
3/11/2020
I am really enjoying this strain. First time growing and I was able to produce a little more than an ounce per plant. After harvesting, drying, and curing I found myself surprised by two things: 1) how incredibly frosty the buds are; 2) how sticky they remained post dry/cure. As a beginner who has never grown before, I can say that the plants were very tolerant of my many mistakes and I would recommend the strain other new growers. The top colas were very dense and covered in trichomes orange hair. As a means of getting a little more amber trichomes, I would say that I flowered for close to 11 weeks to get my plants where I wanted them.
I have found that the strain has a lovely smell to it where I get a mixture of mint and pine scents rounded out with almost a cheese smell. The high produced from smoking is quite potent but not overpowering. Given that I flowered for a little longer I would say that I am getting a nice balance between a full body high and a cerebral high. The cerebral high hits in waves. An uplifting high is noted first, but after a half hour or so I find that I hit a nice clam plateau which sticks around for a while. This I find is great as it helps to produce a very tranquil night's rest.
