I tried day 24 toaster dried fluffy mini bottom buds this morning.... notes:
1. CQ was solid, nice body buzz, bakey and euphoric
2. AoS - first, it's a black cherry soda pheno, I saw purple in the little bottom buds and there's some purple in the stems/stalk. Second, it melted my face. Seriously, I felt like I got facial numbing injections at the dentist almost. I was seriously baked, but still functional (mostly).
3. I'd take either of these at present potency level at harvest and call it a success. This was no clear high lacking potency. I can't imagine or wait to see what they are going to be like when fully matured, dried and cured. At this point, all I am waiting on is yield and extra kick
Potency CQ 7/10, AoS 8.5/10
4. Taste on both was phenomenal... CQ had kind of an earthy cocoa/dark chocolate taste and the AoS had a light/minimal taste with hints of berry... both smoked very clean considering they get nutes every watering. Taste 9/10
5. Duration - both longer lasting than most of my other strains... i've pretty much been baked all day even taking hours at a time off... last hit it around 2.5 hours ago... i usually don't stay baked for hours on end unless I smoke large amounts of my usual stuff and even then not usually this baked this long.
6. It's still early, but so far AoS is the new contender for favorite strain... it has everything you could want just about in a hybrid. Good body without the couchlock, uplifting and euphoric, medicinal qualities... all it needs to be a keeper for me is to have very little or no tolerance buildup... that is always the trick though... tons of strains good when you first smoke'm... how are they when you've been smoking'em a while?
