wow and sodding wow mate that is beautiful looking weed. love the reports. top notch as per usual.CRYSTAL M.E.T.H.On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me....some Crystal METH Auto from Fastbuds. To begin with I'd like to state that I'm not a fan of the name of this strain. It can be cringe inducing when someone asks what you're smoking. I've actually just referred to it as Purple Haze to avoid another awkward pause and subsequent conversation. The name is probably the only thing that I really don't like about this strain though as it's actually quite interesting for a few reasons. The genetics are a mix of several plants which is where this strain gets its name. The mix consists of Mexican, Early Skunk, Hawaiian, Trainwreck and Fastbuds Canadian Ruderalis. See what they did there? It's a Sativa dominated affair and this becomes apparent in its appearance and effects. She's a fast sativa though and will finish up in around 10 weeks from seed. I've grown out 3 of these plants and there was a little difference in phenos but they're reasonably consistent for the most part. The colours in all 3 varied slightly but they were all a dark red and purple with a bluish tint in certain lighting. The colours of this plant are very impressive and are some of the most vibrant I've grown. If you want purple then this could be the plant for you. The next interesting thing about this strain is the fact that it has almost no smell. This means that there is potential for stealth and guerrilla growing provided that you can still keep them out of sight. Their smell is unlikely to give you away however their appearance will attract eyes like magnets. It's a relatively easy plant to grow though I had varying degrees of luck with my 3. One was stunted, one grew really well and the most recent one was grown as a bit of fun and wasn't given the attention required to grow an impressive plant. I think she would have been ok though had I tried more with her. The smell of the finished bud is more like potpourri than cannabis. It's musky and a bit woody with spicy hints. The taste is similar and is quite unique. It's not unpleasant but quite surprising as it's a little different to what I'm used to. It's not hard to smoke at all and feels quite mild. It doesn't have that dank sensation you get with a lot of modern strains and it is quite nice to have something a little different. The smoke may seem mild in the flavour department but the effects are quite strong. It's all sativa and hits you up top with a dose of energy. I can see this one causing anxiety in the less experienced cannabis consumer and should be used with caution. If you smoke to relax and sleep then also stay away from this one as you'll be lying there for hours, living in your own head and wishing for some nice sleepy indica. Overall I quite like this strain and will probably try it again in the future in an outdoor run to test for stealth properties. Very pretty plants with unique characteristics that standout against today's heavy hybrids. It's an all daytime experience and delivers lots of thoughts which lead to creative outbursts but be careful not to over do it as too many of the wrong kind of thoughts can lead to paranoia. I've been ok when using it but feels like it could creep in if it was allowed to. Well, there you have it. Time for the pics and Merry Christmas everyone....
