If I had to describe the smell after a dry and cure it smells just like Kush. If some one told me this was kush I would believe them. Earthy, hash, sweet, skunk, sour, and pine are the smells I get from it. Wife says it is the second best plant I have ever grown auto or photo. Only thing better was a photo from TGA seeds, Jilly bean grown in the TGA super soil recipe a few grows ago.
