Grower: Humble Gardens

Rating: 4.5

The following diary entry is shared to provide insight into my personal use of cannabis to alleviate a series of medical and health issues.

A note on the name: Humble Gardens received these genetics labeled as Permanent Marker, and this is a very special phenotype of that cultivar. The bud does have a strawberry and citrus sweetness which is present and expressive and part of a compelling and layered affair. Sweet, spicy, and gassy at the surface, with a rubbery, skunky heaviness that signals deep Jealousy influence โ€” that characteristic pine-gas-rubber combination sitting underneath like a foundation wall. But rise above that base and ripe berries, sweet fruit, and most distinctively, fresh strawberries emergeโ€” sweet rather than sour, lingering on the fingers long after handling the bud. The flavor leans into the Jealousy sideโ€”heavy gas, pine, and skunk taking the leadโ€”bold, confident, and deeply satisfying for consumers who love that classic profile.

The high is sedative and relaxing, laying the consumer into a laid-back, unhurried state. All the while with a euphoric silliness that creeps in at the edges, cheeky and warm, that keeps the experience from feeling heavy or one-dimensional. It is the kind of high that makes you smile without quite knowing why.

I highly recommend Permanent Marker from Humble Gardens, and especially this unique pheno, to experienced consumers who appreciate a complex, gas-forward profile with a surprising and generous sweetness underneath. Humble Gardens has done excellent work here, and this bud deserves to be sought out.
