After one hit I was high. After two I was stoned, but when the bowl was gone, so was I.
ATF is another go-to sativa that will always have a special place my stash box. In the past, I was prescribed various pharmaceutical anti-depressants for chronic depression, but the side effects were horrible. One made me gain way too much weight, one made me flat, unresponsive and nearly catatonic, and the last one I was prescribed actually made the depression much much worse. Big Pharma is in my past, and cannabis is my present and future. Now I medicate naturally: 2 bowls of beautiful sativa flower and an hour of exercise every morning has me in the healthiest place mentally and physically that I've ever been in.
ATF is an energetic, sativa that puts a smile on my face and kicks depression's ass. And true to its name, it can help to get my mind and body to a romantic state. I always get some when its available at my favorite shops.
This strain's name pretty much sums up it affect. I decided to wait a few minutes before commenting and things only got worse. Forgot to breathe (don't you hate when that happens! :)
Not a strain to go out in public. This is a strain to listen to Phillip Glass or Electronic Trance.
The aroma is what we in the wine world would call 'forest floor'. Reminds me of moss, then a hint of spice . Very unique!
This is surprisingly 'up' now that the wave of 'holy crap!' is over. Great for depression (What depression?), creativity and probably many other things.
Could very well bring on paranoia. (what the hell was that outside just now..?)
One unique characteristic is that there is nothing at all 'fruity' or sweet. It is savory, like Christmas stuffing.
The following speaks to soil growers only, hydro is not my thing. It is also important to remember that the ATF I am describing here is not Sagarmartha's imitation strain, but the real deal which has been grown since the seventies and maintained by many different heads and groups in and around Northern California for the past several decades:
Very high yielding strain which produces chunky, airy nugs whos weight quickly bends the apical stem in half. Not the frostiest strain in the world under 12/12 lighting but can become very heavily trichomed under shorter days and longer nights. Outdoors plants can yield up to five pounds if grown correctly and to the proper size before budset occurs. The smell while growing is reminiscent of orange candy or grapefruits and becomes much more pungent upon curing. Pistils are ridiculousy long and thin compared to some other strains. Even to harvest you are sure to see new calyxes/pistils appearing everywhere due to the fact that the plant never seems to stop flowring. Resin maturation under twelve hours of lighting can be a problem because of the environ that the strain hails from and so a few days of darkness before harvesting can be beneficial to attain the desired levels of cannibinoids such as CBD, CBDA, CBN, etc.
The stretch is fairly short and budset should occur within two weeks of switching your lights to 12/12. This strain likes acid; I keep my PH at 5.5 and they blow up something fierce everytime. ATF is a moderate feeder and can be prone to lockout if PH falls out of the desired range or too much fertilizer is applied in too short a period of time.
Topping or training is recommended because of the lengthyness of the plants internodal spacing while stretching and they can become particularly tall. Using dowels is also recommended since the plants tend to fall under their own weight . Simply staking the apical stem and not granting the side branches support will result in buds lying on the floor and broken branches towards the tops.
Temperature is also important as colder weather can make the strain succeptible to powder mildew and a variety of other illnesses, and temperatures that are too hot can cause the plant to begin producing male flowers. 75-85 degress is the perfect range with anything above or below this range being slightly risky.
From start (beginning of 12/12) to finish the total flowering time should be around 9 1/2 weeks to 1 1/2 weeks depending on preference. ATF can flower almost idefinatly and given the right amount of time (generally 12-14 weeks) produces high levels of CBD and CBN.
Smoking ATF is great. The citrus flavor comes through in the smoke with minty undertones and hints of chocolate. The high is intense and lasts for an average amount of time. The stone can be described ad heady with a slight body buzz. A bag of ATF should fool most people into thinking that it weighs more than it actually does because of how airy airy the buds can be.
Overall, if you can find the real ATF which I just described and you are a grower, I would jump at the chance to grow this strain.
If you are a smoker and find this strain in a dispensary or at the weed man's house, try it, you'll like it. However, I wouldn't look too forward to finding the real thing and you will most likely have to settle for Sagarmartha's Northern Lights cross which they labeled Matanuska Valley Thunderfuck because they thought the real strain was dead (Guess they either didn't look hard enough are aren't connected enough).
ATF I will keep at the top of my list for Staiva-Dominent Hybrids.
=About it:=
Fluffy nugs, smooth smoke - easier to fill the lungs to capacity. Had an earthy taste, slight bit of a skunky note (though I am sure terpene profiles will wildly vary depending on one's own individual palate).
=Medical:=
Provides a decent body stone, helps me stave off my IBS until I can come home and medicate up with an Indica. Doesn't completely get rid of it, but makes it at least tolerable.
I assume this would be great for Erectile Dysfunction as I noticed (without TMI) - let's just say it's like going from standard def. to Ulta-high def. + it makes the end result explosive ;) wink-wink A+++ in that area. "Aroused" is a complete understatement. Please note, it isn't like this strain makes you aroused by default, you actually have to make your mind go that direction.
=Effects:=
Head in the clouds, nice cerebral massaging feeling. Very optimistic and upbeat. Can space out, pay attention, or anything in between as this strain puts the level of that in your control. Good for anxiety, or when you are stressing out. Very mellow. Not a racy head feel like most Sativas/Sativa Dominants have. Visual acuity is sharpened, seems your eyes are focusing in on more than usual. I notice greater detail in things farther away as my eyes focus in sharply on what they normally would blur out (as the mind normally finds it irrelevant to do that).
=Other Notes:=
Would not suggest a walk with it (particularly on a really hot and sunny day :D ). it's not good for long term movement like mentioned above as it will amplify the sedation and it made walking harder the more I exerted myself physically. It lets you know "I may not be an Indica, but you WILL take a chill pill". Physical exertion is not impaired but it a better description is that it is more "chill" than you are used of it being ;) yet doable :)
Holy sweet jumped up sativa, Batman. This has to be the most aptly named strain yet. As powerful and as potent as being screwed by an angry Thor. Good if unique taste, rather a sweet note. Has good legs, at 5 to 6. Definitely worth getting when possible. Extraordinary body effects for a sativa. Get some and have intimate relations with the God of Thunder today!
Strain Notes:
- Very strong, piney smell, even through a sturdy bag; when opened to take a whiff, the entire room retains the scent for a solid while afterwards. Definitely wrap in foil or put in a glass container.
- Sticky, dense, sage-green bud, with a fair amount of orange trichomes and small crystals.
- Very little keef when ground.
High Notes:
- Prefer smoking from a bong, as all the effects of the strain seem to be strongest. The same feelings of giddiness, excitement, and euphoria all come from smoking with a pipe, but appear to be far less potent.
- Gives a certain sense of slight paranoia, but nothing debilitating.
- Euphoria, talkativeness, and energy hit HARD.
- Very much a body high throughout: At the peak, it felt as if my body separated into segments and was spinning on pivots in all different directions (the tingling and paranoia set in at this point, making me wonder if I was REALLY spinning, or if it was all in my head). All my aches and pains disappeared. At the end, however, I was a bit more in my head than in the beginning smoke.
- Usual increase in appetite with smoking.
In Conclusion:
- Very fun, upbeat strain.
- Good for solo use, but definitely better with other people (I find I enjoy it most when smoked with just myself and my best friend).
- Great body high for fixing physical ailments.
Very excellent strain. Makes me very euphoric and horny. 10/10 would recommend.
