SMOKE TEST COMMENTS: I was shocked to have such a wonderful smoke at only a week after harvest. Right away you get the taste of mango, just like mango juice. There is this crazy subtle sweet honey taste. As I approached 2/3 of the joint, a subtle, spicy bite developed. What really got me was the sweet on my lips from an oily little bloop that come off at the end of the joint. It reminded me of a candy cigarette.

For me, this Vortex was my first time ever smoking any phenotypes of this strain.
This phenotype is definitely sativa dominant and that Sativa high is something I am not used to and I like it.
Within the first 30 seconds of smoking, I notice how clear and alert I am, and a slight tickle in my forehead begins.
By a minute or two, my heart begins to beat faster and a nice warm, euphoric wave washes over me, I am wide awake, alert, and typing like mad lol.
I have some giggles...something I though I would never say again.
This is a bit like nitrous oxide whoo lol!
Having finished the joint, I now am having some difficulty keeping my eyes aligned. This my friends is some potent weed.
I would say it would make an awesome party weed and I think that is what I will reserve it for.
I'll give it a couple of weeks and do a follow up.

Cheers and happy growing
 
Thanks for the report bro, I already decided I was going to run vortex a while ago but I still enjoy reading other people's experiences. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

I had 5 different vortex phenos on that grow and it was one of the keepers. I'll have more reports over the next two weeks as everything now has had a minimum cure of three weeks.

Cheers and happy growing.

Just harvested 1 of my 4 Vortex ladies a week and half ago at 7.5 weeks. My other 3 ladies are done in the morning at 9 weeks. Let me tell u, the early girl is small with little indica like buds, which I understand isn't the pheno I'm looking for. But let me tell u this bitch is sticky as fuck and also very potent after only 1 week cure. I have 3 other gals and 2 more phenos. One is very green and smells of funky citrus, she is also very bushy. My #1 is the other pheno, she is very bushy but this bitch turned purple. Purple leaves and calyxes mixed with greens and purples. She is covered in snow and this bitch reeks of straight funk. Gonna be some special bud I can already tell by my premature harvest of that runt 2 weeks ago. Damn!!! I'm impressed as hell. Now let's see how Tahoe og turns out next week at a 10 week harvest. This is getting very interesting..
