Smoke Report - Tora Bora, feminized seed from Reserva Privada, 4/1-10/28/14, Organic greenhouse grow
LA Confidential crossed with X-18, named because it is an Afghani crossed with a Pakistani and Tora Bora (Osma Bin Laden's one time hideout) is on the border of the two countries. I chose this strain because I'm a huge fan of the LAC and I loved the name.
Grow notes: This strain did not appear to be overly sensitive to nutrients when it was small. It was transplanted into some super soil that proved too hot for my other plants, but this one did fine. After it went into the greenhouse bay, it did develop downward clawed leaf tips suggesting it got into something pretty hot. I would guess that I had a hot spot in the bay where she was planted but really don't know for sure as the plants on either side did great. Like the LA Con, this one was pretty untrainable. Topped once and that was enough to contain her as she does not grow that big. I'm going to grade the quality of the grow at an A- since she got a little overfed but never burned. Kept a dark green color and developed wonderful purple hues from the X-18 genetics and some cool nights. AACT's applied every two weeks.
Yield: 11.0 oz or 312 grams, bud size and density is average.
Jar Aroma: PIne, earthy, herbal, musky. Rated 8 or 9 out of 10 but I'm biased toward this type of flavor profile.
Smoke test: 1 toke taken in morning after two cups of coffee. Rated smoothness at 10 out of 10. I had low expectations for smoothness given that this one was a tad overfed, so go figure. I did not get the sweet finish that I loved the LA Con for, but my taste buds are challenged these days so maybe that will come?
Peak Head Intensity: rated between 2 and 4 out of 10.
Head Direction: Mostly clear headed but moderate euphoria makes it hard to peg. Very functional and clean.
Peak Motivational Level: rated between 5 and 7 out of 10. Pure indicas don't usually rate this high with me.
Peak Body Intensity: rated 9 or 10 out of 10. Clearly this is where this strain shines brightest.
Body Direction: Very relaxing without putting me to sleep. Strong medicinal qualities for body pain issues. May be good at night as well but did not make me feel sleepy or tired when smoked in morning with coffee. All day potential for smoking.
Overall Impression: It doesn't hit all that many notes, but when it comes to body relaxation with a clean head it rates extremely well. I am excited to mix it with a cerebral sativa and see if it takes me to bliss and back. I'm going to give it an overall rating of 8 out of 10. I love the aroma, smoothness of the smoke, strong relaxing body buzz and duration of the high.
Unedited notes from testing:
9:50am - big toke
9:54 - coming on - body
10:01 - got distracted from test, feeling great, pretty clear head and great body stone.
10:06 - Still going up strong! Great body buzz, not at all sedative.
10:13 - Surprisingly functional head given strength and intensity of body buzz.
10:16 - Delighted by head clarity so far, this has a.m. indica possibilities for me.
10:18 - Moderate euphoria, relaxed, low heart rate, able to work, up, semi-motivational.
10:24 - Good addition to collection, hits body/head combo different than my other 2014 strains.
10:26 - Reminds me of the LA Confidential - but did not get sweet taste like the LA had.
10:29 - Getting munchies, appetite stimulated - more coffee!
11:15 - Going strong - no change - still relaxed body buzz and good feeling head.
2pm - Still high, but intensity level began to decrease after 2 hours.
