Historical sample observations

A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. Welcome to another edition of the archive's weekly stain review series. This week the archive have a strain straight from a top Canadian dispensary - this is Zed. \n Zed is a mysterious strain - generally exhibiting 100% Indica qualities, it is rumoured to be made from hash plant crossed with an unknown strain , and the breeder is not known. Reports state that it delivers around 20% THC , although the archive haven’t seen any lab tests. \n \n Zed Strain Review from the archive on Vimeo . \nThe Zed looks fantastic right off the bat. The three-gram-nug the reviewer had to sample is dense and very well-structured. This is an organically-grown strain, but is not airy, loose or in any way under delivering - the reviewer’m very happy with the appearance of this one. \n \nThe trichomes are thick and layered on the bud, almost bleaching the colour into a lighter green/almost white in parts, with darker leaf bases. \n \n \n Smell \nThe Zed sample smells good, leaving a fruity and distinct aroma in the pop jar. It becomes more pungent when the bud is broken open, releasing a more complex scent which sits somewhere along the lines of dank, pungent, fruity and earthy. \n \nGrinding up the sample of Zed, the reviewer’m also treated to the organic-smelling woody/earthiness that seems to come from strains grown in this way. \n \n \n Taste \nSmoking a bowl of this strain through the reviewer's glass bong is a great experience, and rather moreish. the reviewer find that the reviewer want to go straight back for round 2, and indeed the reviewer do. \n \nThe smoking experience is smooth and enjoyable, delivering a good flavour that matches the aroma and can be experienced during the smoke exhale of the bong hit, much more than some other strains have delivered in the past. \n \nThe flavour itself is earthy, similar to kush strains and well-cured (characterised by the lack of any chlorophyll taste). In fact, this one tastes like an Indica strain! \n \n \n Effects \nZed’s effects kick in quickly, easing the reviewer into a relaxed body-led high that wasn’t too overpowering to smoke in the morning. \n \nOnce bong 2 begins to kick in the high develops into a pain-relieving/body-feeling-good sort of experience. \n \nI actually get a bit of dry mouth smoking this, and even find it more difficult to maintain the conversation while filming. \n \nBoth of these things factor in to tell the reviewer that this strain is a strong one! \n \n \n Conclusion \nThis has been one of the reviewer's favourite reviews so far this year - Zed delivers on everything - Appearance, Smell, Taste, Smoking Experience and the Effects are all top notch, making this strain stand head and shoulders above some of the others. \n \nI can certainly see the value of Zed in the medicine cabinet - this strain is good for times where you need 100% Indica relief. If that's the case, it might just be the perfect option. \n \n \n \n \n \n have you tried Zed? What's your favourite Indica strain?
