This strain was suggested to me based on wanting a pure indica. I learned that this is a landrace strain because it's named after the region it naturally grows in.
The batch I purchased came from World of Weed in Tacoma, WA. The grower was Triple T Farms, harvested on 9/01/2015 and packaged on 9/25/2015. I usually break a bud and inhale nice and deep to get the nose - it smells like a bowl of sunflower shells mixed with slightly wet hay and left to sit for a day. I know that's not a very appealing description but that's what I pick up. The buds are pretty crispy but I attribute that to the sealed plastic packaging (note to rec processors - glass jars work better!). I plan on using a small c-vault to cure a nug to see if the flavors develop.
I opted to vape for my first session and I was not disappointed. The taste was great, again reminiscence of sunflowers along with burnt popcorn on the exhale. Even though the bud is dry and crispy, it was not harsh with a desktop vape. The high had a slow come up, but was nice and mellow. I was able to coast off to sleep fairly well when it was time for bed. I don't get couch lock very easy, so others should head into this strain knowing that some say it's great for that.
I'm giving this a 4/5 because the indica effects were exactly what I was looking for. I just wish these rec processors could find a way to preserve the freshness of the product.
