Here is a list of herb that I am lucky enough to have inhaled. Most of these are pretty common on the local dispensary menu, but it also includes a few rarities I have happened to have come across. I felt obliged to share my personal observation and analysis of each strain, to help others better choose their next stash. Of course every sack will be different due to differences in growing, harvesting, and curing methods, but I hope to bring a somewhat generalized insight on what the strain really brings to the bowl.
Afghan Kush B Grade
The Rundown: The original ‘AK’, brought from the heart of the Hindu Kush mountain range where its genotype has been selected and perfected over centuries to be the ultimate source of cannabis resin. Afghan Kush buds develop into massive, resin-saturated nuggets of pure Indica goodness.
Looks: Tons of orange hairs that protrude through a soft green background. Buds are very soft but dense with resin. Due to the small stem base, you get a lot from each nug.
Smell: Smells like you ate a bunch of tangerines, threw it up, sprayed it with a hint of musk, and then let it sit to mold. A very intoxicating smell.
Tastes: Very resine. Musky, with a hint of skunk. A hint of fruit, but not enough to count.
Effects: Being 80% Indica you get the couch lock effect. Very sleepy, relaxing high.
Good For: Insomnia, Anxiety Attacks, and High Blood Pressure.
Afghooey A+ Grade
The Rundown: A cross-strain of Afghan Kush and Maui Haze this bud packs a punch far superior to its parents. So resinated its almost crusty, Afghooey is a great smoke to have in your stash.Looks: A light greenish-brown color, tinted white with a pronounced layer of crystals. Occasionally a red hair intertwines itself in the mix.
Smell: If you could make a scent for hawaii, quipped with pineapple, tangerines, and mango, and then add a touch of moldy skunk...you would arrive at Afghooey.
Tastes: Like hawaiian punch stirred with stale socks.
Effects: Couch lock, but with a clear mind. Fruity and fun to smoke.
Good For: Indigestion, Cramps, Heartburn. For some reason, work great with the stomach.
B-52
B-52 is a truly superior skunk hybrid that produces consistently well and rewards the grower with a very sweet taste and a cerebral high. The maternal side of its family tree hails from Big Bud, among the oldest of the commercial strains. True to its name, Big Bud is a classic producer with little foliage to prune, plus a sweet spicy flavor and an indica-dominant body stone. B-52's daddy is a Skunk Special, developed with skunk enthusiasts in mind. With a presence of both indica and sativa, B-52 delivers an unusually clear buzz with a slightly delayed effect. The nugs burn quickly but release a smoke-filled attack similar to its aerospace counterpart. Its hard hitting with a sweet follow up.

Each bud contains a slight shade of purple and there is a very sweet, almost citrus smell that lets you know a great taste is on the way. The high lasts a long time, well over 2 hours.

Blue Dreams
Blueberry
Blueberry is a mostly Indica (80% Indica, 20% Sativa) strain, that dates to the late 1970's. A large producer under optimum conditions. A dense and stout plant with red, purple and finally blue hues that usually cure to a lavender blue. The finished product has a very fruity aroma and taste of blueberry. It produces a notable and pleasantly euphoric high of the highest quality and is very long lasting. Medium to large calyxes. " Blueberry" has a long shelf life and stores well over a long period of time. Specifications: ~ Flowering: 45-55 days ~ Height: 70-100 cm
Cat Piss
Champagne
Chem Dawg
Durban Poison
Imported from South Africa, produced in Holland. Exclusively inbred, never hybridized, 100% Sativa. Large long bud leaves, buds are also large and long with lots of resin. A sweet licorice or anise flavor. "Up" high similar to Thai. High yields. Well suited for out crossing with late bloomers to produce earlier flowering. Also does very well under artificial light. Specifications: ~ Flower: 8-9 weeks ~ Harvest: end of Sept.
Flo
Original Flo is a Sativa/Indica cross (60% Sativa, 40% Indica) with very Sativa phenotypic characteristics that also matures very early. The large, tight, spear shaped buds are made up of small, densely packed purple calyxes. The plants are taller and like to branch out. Indoors the buds are fully mature by the end of their sixth week. Outdoors the plant is a super producer when multi-harvested over a period of time. The first buds are ripe around the third week of September. About every ten days after that, new buds form and can be harvested through the end of November, if the plant can be kept alive that long. Therefore, "Flo" is ideal for greenhouse production. The motivational "high" produced by the "Flo" is quite unique, the flavor is like Nepalese Temple Hash. A most pleasant and enjoyable experience. Specifications: ~ Flower: 6-7 weeks ~ Harvest: 3rd or 4th week of Sept.
G-13
100% indica, medium height, likes to branch out. G-13 marijuana seeds are a must have for any serious growers, and breeders. Whatever male I used to breed with the G-13 produced a large percentage of ultra high resin producing plants. High Producer, 6-7 weeks flowering. G-13 is easily cloned, can be successfully rejuvenated after flowering. G-13 as a female only exists as a clone. Although I myself as well as many others are trying to assimilate this breed in seed. You know that it is G-13 when you roll it. If you use your fingers to break up buds, they will become so sticky, that is very difficult to roll. Smoking G-13 doesn't produce any sleepy, heavy head, or headache symptoms. Large size for a 100% indica yield is high. Cloned Female only avail.
