Sativa Dominant Hybrid - 80% Sativa / 20% Indica
This strain was first shared with me by a friend at a show at Red Rocks. He told me he got it from the med side of A Cut Above. It might be the best herb I've ever smoked. It had pine fuel notes from the chem i95, tangerine notes from the mandarine cookies, and actually had a grape note like purple kush or grape ape. It really had all of these flavors in one bud; unbelievable.
A very tasty sativa. Fuely and a lemon pepper flavor makes it a top five sativa for me. Very popular in Massachusetts and always available at my dispensery. Priced right and ill be buying it again 🤪👍
This is a very decent Sativa strain though not one of my favorites due to the lack of get-up-and-go to it. My batch is sitting at 23.35% THC and personally I've never seen this strain get higher then 25% THC , but that's just my experience. The immediate head high always brings a smile to my face, so it's a great mood booster but unfortunately, the relaxing body high that hits without ANY extra energy to it really downgrades the overall experience for me. I like happy Sativa's that relax and energize simultaneously, like Golden Goat does for me. This strain tastes great, smokes smoothly, and does have a pretty potent high to it, it's just not one I overly enjoy.
Had this strain a few times before this review. Batch I have now is sitting at 23.35% THC, personally I've never seen a Crescendo above 25% THC. This strain is a happy, relaxing Sativa. The initial head high makes me smile, every time and then the relaxing body high kicks in. For me, it's not a bad strain, I don't really get any negative effects from it but at the same time it's not one I generally grab when I see it on the shelf at a dispensary. I really like get-up-and-go happy Sativa's, even if they do possess a relaxing body high to it but this strain doesn't have ANY get-up-and-go to it, at all, so therefore it falls into the middle of my Sativa scale.
I've been growing clones of this for a year. The weed stores are always sold out of this. She is very leggy and will get too tall(indoor, hydroponic). Initiate flowering early or top them to keep them shorter. THC content is very high. I've been cloning for 25 years. Crescendo is the best so far. These buds are dense and store well. I kept two mother plants for the summer and I'll clone these all winter, again. Efficacy, potency, and taste are unparalleled in Crescendo. Until the next best thing, Crescendo.
Meh ... Bag appeal is nice. Has a really nice smell as well ... Flavor was okay. High is really relaxed and lazy, with an tingly brain. But no real wow that’s nice.
One of my top go to strains for relaxing and getting rid of aches and pains from a long work day. I can generally find this by GDF a cultivator in my area and they generally put out great batches of Crescendo with stunning bag appeal.
Complete and total "chill" ... Very relaxing , like "flying "on a magic carpet "smooth" ....
As someone that suffers from chronic pain, I was pleasantly surprised with how super relaxing this strain made my entire body feel all over. My muscles have a tendency to seize up and it was just a few hours after a couple of small puffs a very easy, instant release came over my disposition and my body; I wanted to fall asleep but I was on my way home in a Lyft. If nothing else, this is excellent for body/muscle pain. As far as rest, Indica has always made me want to sleep so night owls will love it before rest.
So far only have tried Nature's Grace and Wellness Flower from Trinity in Peoria, IL Plan on trying it in vape form, has a nice blend of flower and fruity smell and flavor.
