Shit Smoke Report by HolyMountain
STANDARD SMOKE REPORT V1.0
================================================== ====================
IDENTIFICATION
================================================== ====================
Judge: [HolyMountain]
Date: [Sept. 11th 2010]
Strain: [MNS (Indoor) Shit, my keeper--#3]
Breeder:[Shantibaba]
Grower: [HolyMountain]
================================================== ====================
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
================================================== ====================
1. __[7.5]__ Visual Appeal
Spectacular visual appeal, but the trichome amount is truly what makes this appealing
Rate the visual appeal of the buds from 1-10 unappealing-excellent.
2. __[8.5]__ Visible Trichomes
Very very frosty, I was especially surprised to see the amount of glandular trichomes on all of my samples (especially for being basically Skunk No. 1). Another factor that may contribute to this is that I used a Ceramic Metal Halide bulb instead of the traditional HPS Bulb. I cannot say definitively this is the justification for the amount of trichomes, but other users have claimed better results with increased spectrum bulbs.
Rate the visible trichome content from 1-10 none-totally covered.
3. Use an X to indicate the colors that are present in the trichome
heads under magnification or list the percentages of each color for
a more precise report. Leave these fields blank if you do not have
a powerful magnifier.
Clear [40]
Cloudy [55]
Amber [5]
Dark []
4. Mark with X the colors that are present in the buds or for a more
detailed color analysis rate presence on a scale 1-9 light-dark.
Brown []
Green [x]
Gold []
Blue []
Grey []
White [x] (very subtle and because of the glandular trichomes)
Red []
Rust [x]
Orange []
Purple []
Black []
Peach []
5. __[8]__ Bud density
Rate the bud density from 1-10 airy-dense. For samples that are
not in their natural state leave this field blank.
6. Use numbers 1-9 on descriptors that apply to the aroma of freshly
broken bud where a 1 indicates a subtle presence and 9 indicates
a pronounced presence. Delete the existing space when marking a
descriptor in order to maintain the columns in alignment.
Ammonia [ ] Earthy [] Licorice [ ] Peach [ ]
Berry [ ] Floral [ ] Mango [] Pepper [ ]
Blueberry [ ] (Ripe) Fruit [3] Meat [ ] Fuel []
Bubblegum [ ] Grape [ ] Melon [ ] Pine [ ]
Cedar [ ] Grapefruit[ ] Menthol [ ] Pineapple [ ]
Cherry [] Grass/Hay [ ] Mint [ ] Rotten [5]
Chocolate [ ] Hash [] Mold [ ] Astringent [ ]
Citrus [ ] Iron/Rust [ ] Musk [2] Spice [5]
Coconut [ ] Leather [] Nutmeg [ ] Strawberry[ ]
Coffee [ ] Lemon [ 6] Orange [ ] Vanilla [ ]
Skunk [8]
This sample in particular (#3) was spicy in comparison to all the other buds, I am led to believe this is because of the Afghani dominance in #3
7. __[8]__ Aroma
Rate the aroma from 1-10 repulsive-delightful. Use freshly crumbled
bud for best results.
The aroma on this cannabis is stellar to say the least, every time I smell it I get subtle undertones that I previously had not necessarily before realized. Typical skunk smell but with fruity undertones and quite a bit of musky spice in there as well (the spice truly comes through on the smoke).
8. __[0]__ Seed content
Sinsemillia crop
9. __[4]__ Weeks cured
Kept at optimal curing RH (with my Caliber III digital hygrometer) for 4 weeks after drying for 7-10 days (I believe #3 was one of the slightly faster driers as well)

Water pipe [18” water pipe]
Vaporizer []
Pipe [Standard spoon]

indicates a subtle presence and a nine indicates a very pronounced
presence. Delete the existing space when marking a descriptor in
order to maintain the columns in alignment.

Rate the dryness of the bud from 1-10 wet-dry where 5 is ideal.
5. __[9]__ Smoke ability
Rate the smoke ability of the sample from 1-10 harsh-smooth.
The only thing that would make this a 10 is another couple months cure.

SMOKE TEST COMMENTS:
================================================== ====================
FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS
================================================== ====================
1. __[3 hits]__ Dosage – I equate this to a bit of a scale—
1 hit: a beginning of a good cerebral buzz
2 hits: onset much more noticeable within the body and mind
3 hits: desired level of stoned, slightly noticeable pressure in the temple region of the head and in the cheeks as well as an overall relaxed state in the body
anything more than 3 hits is nice and adds to the stone and high, but I find that I typically only need 3 hits to reach the desired medicated level
Enter the number of hits taken to reach desired effects.
2. __[2]__ Effect onset
Rate how quickly the effect hit from 1-10 immediate-major creeper.
I was able to take the first hit, slowly exhale and note what flavors were present and then immediately notice the effects. Did not feel the onset on the exhale, which is what I would consider a true 1.
3. __[5]__ Sativa influence
Though this is the least sativa phenotype out of the 4 Shit plants I grew out, this still has a very nice cerebral buzz to it; you can definitely notice the old school genetics in the Skunk 1
Rate the sativa influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Sativa
influence is best described as a clear and energetic mental effect.
4. __[7]__ Indica influence
This is the most indica sample in the group, the smoke itself is the most indica in nature as well. This is the most couchlock out of the group. Not overbearing indica though, I still feel very productive and as though I can achieve my daily tasks, etc.
Rate the indica influence detected from 0-10 none-extreme. Indica
influence is best described as a sedative, lethargic or numbing
effect that affects the body.
5. __[7]__ Potency
Not the most potent stuff ever, but definitely great smoke and a great high—what it boils down to though is that this is Shit and it doesn’t have quite the potency of something like SSH, M.H., N.H. or MedMan
Rate the potency of the sample from 0-10 none-devastating.
6. __[1.5 hours-2 hours]__ Duration
Indicate the number of hours the effects lasted.
7. __[4]__ Tolerance build up
Rate how quickly tolerance builds from 0-10 none-rapid. Leave this
field blank if you have not used this sample repeatedly.
I was able to make my stash last an entire month, and in that month—every time I smoked a bowl to myself, I got just as high as I did the first bowl after drying. I feel as though if I was smoking this for a couple months or more I might get a bit sick of it, but if I had some other choices I could easily smoke this stuff year round.
8. Usability
Rate on a scale of 1-9 where a one indicates the worst time of day
to consume this strain and a nine represents the ideal time of day.
Leave field(s) blank if you have not yet formed an opinion.
Morning - wake up [4]
Day - work [5]
Evening - relax [9]
Night - sleep [9]
If I were to smoke in the morning or afternoon, I would choose #1 (my most sativa phenotype). I much prefer the sativa influence for daytime smoke otherwise I have to have some caffeine or take a nap
9. __[7]__ Overall satisfaction
Rate your overall satisfaction from 1-10 poor-Holy Grail.
Very very pleased to grow this strain, she was a breeze to grow and quite a beautiful lady. Vigorous growth. A great introduction to Mr. Nice Genetics! Considering the price of these seeds and the quality associated, you really cannot lose at all. The only thing keeping this from a higher rating is merely the genetics themselves—I’m a sativa guy predominantly (but I still looooove me some good indicas) and tend to stray from Skunk, but I wanted a good intro to the Mr. Nice family without spending too much money. Needless to say, I’m thoroughly pleased (and now growing NL#5 x Afghan and Mango x Widow, and soon to be SSH)!
10. __[7]__ Ability and conditions*
Smoked the allocated amount around noon, I woke up at 9:30 and had half a bowl of some diesel. I let the effects of the previous bowl wear off almost entirely before I approached the Shit.
11. Judging from the sample alone do you personally consider this
strain a keeper for long term use?
Yes [x] still have a clone of this plant bonsai’ing. I’m thinking if I don’t do a run with Shit #3, I will at least pop the other 9 seeds I have at some time to see if I have anything else worthwhile.
No []
12.Rate the noticeable effects on a scale of 1-9 mild-severe. Take
care to use the appropriate column for your response. Delete the

FINAL COMMENTS: Shit #3 was the most indica out of the group, she was cut at 50 days after flushing for 10 days (straight water), she was grown in a 3 gallon poly bag under a 400w CMH in LC’s soilless mix #1 (modified to 3 parts Ocean Forest, 3 parts Light Warrior), fed with guano, molasses, earthworm casting, and kelp flowering tea. Dried for I believe 8 days then jar cured for 1 month.
This is some great bud, this only makes me look forward to all the other (and much more potent!) strains Mr. Nice Seedbank has to offer. Thanks shantibaba for offering such a great strain!
Namaste,
HolyMountain
