Romulan








I found this on KindGreenBuds.com: "Federation purchased Romulan as a complete strain in 1996in an attempt to rescue it from extinction. In the 1970s, this variety was brought from Califronia to British Columbia by a Vietnam veteran, where it was grown on Vancouver Island. This variety was nicknamed Romulan after people joked that the high "could dent your head," producing ridges like those of Star Trek's warrior-like race with the same name.

Federation acquired Romulan in the form of clones, so she was entirely female. After crossing it with a Cannabis Cup prize winner, a White Rhino male, breeders ar Federation backcrossed 11 times to stabilize the variety at a 97 percent pure Romulan hybrid. Selections at each backcross favored the biggest, most robust plants over the fastest, although the finishing time remains around a very acceptable 8 weeks. Romulan seeds are now homogenous and have an improved robustness and yield as a result.

This
purple-stemmed plant branches extensively and is less appropriate for a sea of green garden than a set-up which takes advantage of the multiple branching and budding sites. A completely indica plant, Romulan is short and bushy with dark green leaves and thick buds. While still a moderate producer, Romulan has not lost its head-denting capabilities, and claims the title of Federation's most potent strain. Outdoors, this plant will yield about a half-pound of tight nuggets per fully grown plant. Drier climates are more favorable since the buds, being both thick and dense, have some susceptibility to mold.

Romulan is alien pot with potent effects. Couch lock is likely an dconcentration may be difficult to maintain. Medically, this weed has shown excellent results for chronic pain.In addition to its ongoing popularity in BC, Romulan has developed a devoted fan base in Texas."




Smell: Subtle yet potent, with a slight sweet undertone, (if that makes sense). You can smell the threat of potency but it isn't harsh or anything. Kind if its own scent with almost fruity sweet undertones. Good but hard to discern.

Taste: 2 Stars
Clean with a slight sweet lemony taste. Very subtle just on the aftertaste is when you notice it.

Smoothness: 2 Stars
Little harsh on the throat but other than that good.

Slow Burning: 3 Stars
Average.

High: 3 Stars (An average from the Strength and Length)

Length: 3 Stars
Average.

Strength: 3 Stars
Felt about 1/2 thru the blunt. It started right behind my eyes. Stronger and stronger, right after it hit. A little spacey, but no couchlock. Heart began to thump by the end but still pretty chill.

Overall: 2.5 Stars
Not a bad strain but I had way higher hopes for it (no pun intended). I would smoke this again but I would like it more on a mid-shelf.
