For Part 2 of this grow journal, I smoked the finished product from my Raspberry Parfait grow and am back to report (see Part I here). Raspberry Parfait is a sativa-leaning hybrid cross of Truffula Tree and Shishka Berry, bred by Humboldt Seed Company.

After drying and curing in my Cool Cure by Cannatrol, I trimmed the leaves from the buds and placed them into Grove Bags and mason jars for four more weeks. The dense round buds were loaded with bright orange pistils flaring in all directions, and even without a heavy layer of trichomes, the buds were sticky to the touch.

Before the long cure, the aroma and flavor carried a heavy terpinolene note, but after the cure, several additional flavors came through to complement the burnt orange, lime, and lemon aroma. The longer cure brought out sweet yogurt, vanilla, and tart berry flavors, especially on the back end of the exhale.

The effects delivered a heavy but clearheaded high that kept me upbeat, motivated, and highly functional during or after work or at social events. The body buzz provided strong enough relief for my muscle and joint aches to allow me to sit for hours of work without becoming sore, yet remained light enough that I could run errands or complete physical work. The effects definitely fit our Work Sativa review series, and overall, I used the Raspberry Parfait during morning and evening work and while out and about socializing with friends.
