Darth Revan
Overview
Darth Revan is an indica dominant hybrid strain that is a cross between Obama Kush and the Dawgfather. It was by Alphakronik genes and was released towards the end of 2017 and is part of the Darkside series. As the name suggests, it is associated with the movie Star Wars.
It has high THC content at 26%. It yields 2.5lbs per square meter. The Dark series is associated with high hiol production as well as a heavy presence of terpenes. Thiols have a strong sulfur smell, the pungent smell found in onions, feces, fuel, garlic, and skunk.
Darth Revan is the second release from the Dark series, following Darth Sion. This series is known for its stink or pungent aroma. Darth Revan, however, has some berry undertones that mask the stink to some extent.
Darth Revan, like most indicas, has a short stature and gives high yields. The buds are dense and arranged like popcorns. Thick silver trichomes form a coating on the dark green buds. Bright orange pistils are densely packed between the buds, this is a galactic sight. The flowers are purplish and shaped like pines, the sugary leaves are broad and dark green.
The aroma from this plant is a fir mix of stink and sweet berries. The sweet mostly comes from the Obama genetics while the skunk comes from the Dawgfather lineage. The smoke is flavorful and tantalizing to the taste buds. It will slowly fill your nostrils and lungs. The exhale is smooth and causes little to no throat irritation. It will leave a lingering taste in your mouth. Flavor chasers will this strain. New patients, on the other hand, may take some time before they get past the stink to the berry undertones. With the pungent smell, this is not a strain to take discretely.
Darth Revan has extremely relaxing effects on the body. It also induces sleepiness without over stimulating the brain. It will, however, take some time before this strain knows you out. This means that it works well as an evening strain when you need some hours before needing some shut-eye. The effect of this strain has been described as quintessential, a deeply relaxing yet invigorating strain.
This stink strain can be enjoyed by new and old patients alike. The THC may be high for a new patient, so it’s advisable to start with the lowest possible dosage.
