I'm giving ELG a 4.7 on the John 18 scale, subtracting a mere .03 points, which will be explained in the following:
1. Description:
Beautiful light green buds, with abundant orange hairs, covered with crystals. The buds are quite firm, and grind up and roll like a five star herb. The flowers are very aromatic, with a tiny hint of lemons, but a strong Northern Lights #5 influence. I just happen to have one good bud left of some wonderful NL#5 to use as evidence, and ELG definitely has a similar scent, only amplified threefold. It's when lit, that the lemon flavor starts to show itself.
Nothing overpowered, kind of subtle, but definitely lemony.
Effects:
When giving reviews, I always try and roll a nice full joint, and if the buds being sampled are Five Stars, then I am satiated, in most cases. I am a veteran smoker, having indulged myself almost daily, for over 42 years, so I have a good frame of reference on this subject. I got through 3/4 of the joint, before I extinguished it. That's a one point deduction. It took about 5 minutes for the ELG to kick in, and I don't know about you, but I get a feeling of pressure behind my eyes and forehead area, when smoking a good Sativa, and ELG gave me that effect. This is not a mind blowing, hands shaking, don't look at me strain, so you folks who do shy away from those strains, i.e...Ghost Train Haze, some variations of Green Crack, and others, need not worry with ELG. This is another.01 deduction, for I am a fan of eyeball popping Sativa that kind of sets you back for a minute thinking, "Wow, I sure hope I don't have to talk to anyone for awhile." After 3/4 of a joint, I was definitely feeling it, but could have spoken to another human, but since no one else is home, I spoke to Lucky, my one,eyed cat, and made perfect sense, he said. The effects lasted for approximately two hours, and that's my final .01 deduction. ELG is not a long distance stoner, so no worries for a whole day deal, more like a daytime smoker that has a great taste and won't blow your mind, thus our 4.7 for Electric Lemon G.
