XXX (Durban x OG Kush)


Sativa Dominant Hybrid
Cool Calm Collective
Price: $45 per 1/8th

AROMA:  The XXX has the intense sour smell from the Durban (not Durban Poison, *see above) mixed with a heavy lemon diesel undertone from the OG Kush.  The smell is a bit muted from the jar, but the only reason I say that is because it is extremely pungent ground up.  It still has a great stench to it before being broken apart. It actually stings the nostrils after every deep inhale taken. It's a very unique smelling strain for those that are familiar with both crosses.

TASTE:  There is extremely full and creamy smoke to this strain that is accompanied by a surprisingly sweet flavor. The sour Durban and lemon diesel OG flavors fuse together to make a unique sweet sensation on the tongue, which tops off sour. It has the classic OG burn in the sinuses that lasts for a relatively long time (in a good way...the kind of way where after smoking it the first hit of a cigarette tastes like weed). It's a very unique flavor, and gold for the price.

LOOK:  Bulbous, dense, well manicured nugs, this strain has, what I like to call, undercover frostiness. It doesn't have the classic "frosty" look, but if look at a nug in the right angle this strain absolutely shimmers. There are faint streaks of purple throughout some of the leaves and calyxes. It grinds up fluffy and soft, which gives it such a great smoke, so it definitely isn't "rock pot". It's a good looking strain that the pictures don't do justice.

EFFECTS:  This was simply labeled a hybrid, but judging from the crosses and effects I labeled it sativa dominant. Believe it or not, it is both an almost instant head changer and a creeper. A light head change occured within 15 seconds or so, which gradually intensified to a relatively high level over the next few minutes. It actually took almost ten minutes before the high plateaued. There is a very heavy cerebral kick to this high with a nice relaxing sensation throughout the body without becoming lethargic. Good stress reliever, and mild pain relief (sore muscles).  Great midday strain, maybe a bit intense for mornings, or before sleep even, for some patients.

I had the pleasure of medicating on the Durban, OG Kush, and this XXX all in one day, and this was saved for last. Even though it was last (after a long day of smoking), it still got me very medicated. The morning I reviewed it was when I understood why this is their entrant into the cup. I'm assuming the XXX, in some way, mimics the moonshine bottle label for potency, and personally believe it deserves another X.
