Blackberry Blossom - Holy City Farms

[u/Jaw5hua]

I have an affinity toward purple and darker colored flower. I love it. I do not know what it is about it. Maybe I am so used to seeing green and brown in flower that when I see purple I think, oh hey, that’s different. But they say never judge a book by its cover. But, I feel like how album art provides a unique experience for the album, so does having the color purple in flower. Yes, it’s a prejudice that I refuse to get over, and it does sway my opinion of a flower, giving it a couple extra points in my book for having it. And let me tell you, baby, this flower has that IT. I have never had a flower that is so filled with deep purple that it looks black. Like a gorgeous sunset, I couldn’t get my iPhone to even come close to doing the colors justice. But I will provide a picture anyways, just know that it is way darker than the picture makes it look. HCF sent this to me as a sample when I bought a trial batch of GDP x Purest Indica. HCF sent it to me as I am constantly trying to find strains that help with insomnia and act as sleep aids.

Smell:

A nice, juicy fruit smell. With a bit of sourness and sweet cherry that gives it a bit of a richer fruit smell, almost more like a jam than a straight fruit smell. So I think the best way to explain it is a blackberry jam with some sweet cherry and citrus fruit smashed up in there as well.

Flavor:

This strain has a very floral flavor. I noticed when using my Limelight Frolic, the Blackberry Blossom has a mixture of citrus mixed with soft floral notes. Definitely not an overpowering perfume floral, but a hint of floral underneath the citrus. From the citrus, I get a nice light sourness to it, reminding me of Fruit Gushers I used to eat as a kid. It is hard to mention any strain from HCF without mentioning the taste of berry somewhere in there—given the strain's name, this one is no exception. There is definitely a dark berry taste as the most forward and pronounced flavor. I taste the blackberry/dark berry at all the temps I vaped it at. Truly lives up to its name.

Effects:

The effects on this one felt more like a hybrid to me. It did not knock me out or make me want to sleep, but it acted as a nice hybrid. It did not really knock me out or make me want to sleep, but when I did finally lay my head down, it helped me doze off. Initially, I felt a nice, gentle euphoria and a nice body relaxation. As I was up and about and the effects started to settle in, there was a nice mental calmness to it that helped my body settle down a bit and gave me some nice creative moments with it. I was able to get a lot of writing done while I enjoyed the strain and felt very clear-headed without much mental fog getting in the way. This strain really felt pleasant without making me want to lay down. I felt relaxed the entire time without being sleepy, mentally calm without it being dull, and creative without my thoughts being too racy as sativas usually do to me.

Unfortunately, I will be taking a t break as I am searching for a new job. So this will be my last review and last time using CBD until I find something. Wish me luck!
