Historical sample observations
A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. Welcome to another strain review brought to you by the archive. This week, the archive're looking at El Fuego AKA The Fire by DNA Genetics. \nEl Fuego has a mysterious origin but delivers a strong, indica-led hybrid high, coming in at around 70% Indica to 30% Sativa. \n\nBred for its resin profile, you can expect strong, resinous buds in about 9 weeks of flowering. Sites report that the plant branches early into the vegetative stage. \n Appearance \nThe sample of El Fuego looks good, although one bud has been given a slightly better trim than the other in the sample.\n\nDifferent shades of green and deep orange pistils make this bud stand out. the reviewer can see good trichome coverage, although not a crazy amount as suggested in the research the reviewer did prior to sampling this strain.\n\nThe nugs are small but dense, with little give being offered when the bud is squeezed.\n\n \n Smell \nSmelling El Fuego reminds the reviewer of a skunky, pungent aroma. This is reinforced when the reviewer smell the bag which this came from, and then break it open to get an even better idea of the smell.\n\nThe No.1 thing being released here is pungency, making the reviewer think that this has Skunk No.1 in its heritage.\n\nAs the reviewer grind up the El Fuego sample, the reviewer was treated to the same aroma - it hints at almost a slight fresh scent, almost like something they use in some men's aftershaves; this is in contrast to the pungent aroma.\n\n \n Taste & Smoking Experience \nSmoking El Fuego through the reviewer's bong, the reviewer was treated to a smooth hit that isn't too expansive. the reviewer can finish the bowl in a single breath, and it seems to go down without a cough for the first breath or two after. But then the cough manifests itself, and the reviewer spend the next minute or so recovering.\n\nThe flavour of this strain captures some of the pungency, and hitting a second bong allows the reviewer to avoid the cough, but the flavour is not as apparent this time as some other strains the reviewer had reviewed.\n\n \n Effects \nThis hit the reviewer surprisingly hard - the reviewer wasn't expecting it to be super potent, but the indica-led effects were a nice, and very different to what the reviewer had experienced recently.\n\nThe high from this strain seems to introduce more of a 'not caring' or 'disassociative' state - The reviewer recorded while filming this review that the reviewer could potentially see the benefits of this for things like depression and PTSD - but these are just the reviewer's thoughts on the subject, so please do your own research!\n\n \n Overall, El Fuego isn't going to set the world on fire, but the reviewer like it. \nWhat do you think of EL Fuego?
