STRAIN – Britscotti. Coming from the U.K. powerhouse cannabis culture brand Dank Of England (D.O.E.), this Strain has already achieved legendary status amongst U.K. weed connoisseurs and for a good reason.
GENETICS – This U.K. bad boy is the "delta variant" cousin of the Biscotti strain. Stronger and more deadly! A potent indica-dominant (80%/20%)hybrid originating from a mix of G.S.C., Gelato 25 and Sour Florida OG, it packs a punch with an average T.H.C. of 22-25% and a modest 2% of C.B.G.
GROW INFO – Biscotti is predominantly Indica and grows stocky in shape with dense, sticky buds. You can expect medium to high yields with mature buds of an olive-green shade, flecked with purple hues and long wispy orange stigma. The resin production is very high, making this Strain more desirable to extract/concentrate producers.
FLOWER – Dense as the London Underground on a Monday morning commute, this bud is packed tight, dried and cured to perfection. The chunky dark olive green nugs with long dark orange hairs have a thick frosty coating of bright white crystal trichomes. This is not the kind of Strain that has to show off and lure you in with looks alone; its effects will do the talking for it.
ODOUR –Britscotti has a mix of sweet and buttery aromas on the top mixed with insane gassy diesel terps that make this Strain as unmistakably British as a cup of tea! Earthy herbs, Fruity, Nutty, Sweet, gassy, it is all in there. Nostalgic as smoking your first spliff at the back of the garages with your mates as a kid. Remember why you first started smoking weed? This is it, except stronger! This Strain will take you straight back and not disappoint.
CONSUMED – Gifted to me by Screech from D.O.E., I enjoyed this fantastic bud rolled in a king-size ultrathin CBD infused paper with a hand-rolled roach with two close friends. We sat in my friends garden as day turned to night, talking about old times and smoking. As the cold set in, we lit a fire and let the fire hypnotise us long into the night. A 1st class night, with 1st class friends, smoking 1st class weed.
TASTE – If you're looking for a classic Indica with an insanely delicious flavour, then you've found it. Biscotti packs everything you could want and more in the effects and taste department into each delicious toke. Fruity, Nutty, Spicy, Sweet yet undeniably gassy with a rich spicy exhale, I can pick out something different with each toke.
STONE - The Britscotti high comes on with a rush of cerebral effects that catapult you into a pure lifted state of unfocused rapture within about three to five minutes. As your mind quietens, it then engulfs you in a very sedated, powerful couchlock high with a moderate dose of the munchies. Overall I felt euphoric, relaxed, my eyes started to feel heavy, and I felt giggly and happy.
Britscotti has the perfect indica component that holds heavy and wears off after 4-5 hours. It has a slow-releasing grip, so I recommend it for evenings, nights and chill times with close friends.
Thanks to these effects and its high T.H.C. level, Britscotti would also be an excellent choice to treat conditions such as chronic stress or anxiety, depression, mood swings, and chronic pain.
