Vortex is an award winning strain that is mainly sativa dominant S/I: 80/20. The bud used in this review was purchased at HPRC. A local dispensary serving local humboldt residents with an indoor all-organic alternative medicine. This bud stanks!!! The smell is a huge highlight for this bud. The very dense aroma of a mango/lime/lemonade blend meets you as you prepare to first smell it. The buds are beautifully sprinkled with a generous distribution of orange hairs and snow white tricomes. People have reported that this is their favourite tasting medicine out there, and I agree that it is top notch. The smell translates to the taste of herbs/mango/lemonade. The intake is smooth, but does have a bit of push-back, assumedly, as a result of the very pungent smells. One of the best and, i suppose, rarest buds I have come across.

From the local dispensary here in beautiful humboldt county, HPRC. HPRC is known for growing indoor, all-organic cannabis, utilizing over 30 years of growing experience from the head grower. For 20$ a half 1/8th this Green Crack really delivers. Amazing visual aspects in this bud. Light green leaves which are almost completely covered in white crystal, accented with a fair distribution of orange hair. The smell is my selling point with this strain. Before your nose even reaches the jar, your greeted with a wave of sweet/sour musk which is also very present in the taste when smoked. This bud (if flushed correctly) has an extremely smooth smoke despite it's sweet/sour aroma. The taste is very similar to the smell, with no lingering smokey aftertaste. The high is very cerebral, clouding and distracting thought. Tingling sensation is also present throughout body. Drowsiness was minimal (but was smoked during the afternoon). Laziness a little, but the drive to be active was most present. Overall, this bud always is very attractive among a line up. I say it would place pretty high on a top 15, it's an oldie but goodie. As always though, with any strain, quality really depends on the growing conditions.
