So Ive had my frst taste of the Blue Velvet not quick dried although she has yet to have any sort of a cure..
That being said Im very happy with the smoke, it is really smooth for the potency.. The flavours are really nice and not so strong now she has dried properly. The best test is that out of the bit of dried air bud we had, it was being grabbed for over the standard nastey dealer cheese as soon as they compared by my friends. So its not hard to see the quality on this one..
In fact I posted DJ Shorts write up on her before Dutch Passion released theres and it is bloody close, very impressive strain, really recomend for those not looking for standard big bud but something a bit more special that others wont have and will want to taste!
Blue Velvet is a "Not too leggy" half sativa - half indica cross, named for her lush appearance. Due to the lineage, this variety has also been known as Blueberry Thai. The Long branches sport lavender-red leaves and the buds have a trademark "fox tail" (single Fox tail on every top of the most developed kholas) appearance. The calyxes are large and striped. And they were
Very enjoyable to the nose and palate (Not harsh and no cough which is somehting to say for me), Blue Velvet's fragrance and flavor border between fruity and floral (Spot on, once ground she spits smells out of red wine & berrys with that green floral smell which gets strong if you leave the bud out for long) . Expect an uplifting and euphoric experience with this variety. The buzz gives both a head and body sensation, making it good for daytime use, socializing with friends, or for creative solitary ventures. (I too get a quite head altering experaince with this but it has to be said. But id say too strong for a daytime smoke, more of a lazy Sunday somewhere tranquil for you to relax, as this is the sort of stone that slows your brain down and drops my IQ by 50 points).
So all in all Dutch Passion have done a great job on these, they match the read up perfect.. & I will be making sure I have some seeds in my collection encase they run out again.
I will come back with the full smoke report once cured in a few as promised.
Cheers guys
