Asphalt Plant

Asphalt Plant is a hybrid of two popular strains, Afghani Kush and Old School Hawaiian. This mix combines the powerful body highs of a Himalayan indica with the tropical tastes of Hawaii, offering a virtual vacation when reviewed at home. The first encounter with this indica-dominant hybrid reveals a piece that diverges from the strong, gassy funk characteristic of most Kush strains. Instead, the massive whiff of fresh asphalt weed delights the senses in a uniquely appealing way. The huge buds of Asphalt Plant might be overwhelming for novice smokers. Visually, the buds are dense and resinous, presenting as a lush carpet of green with dark blue accents peeking from underneath. Large and bright pistils emerge from every crevice, giving Asphalt Plant a wild, untamed appearance. A blanket of small trichomes covers the buds, lending them a slightly yellow-tinted sheen contrasted by the dark-colored accents below.

The aroma and taste are both musky, reminiscent of rubbing hydrocarbons on an open engine, with earthy undertones that tie back to its name and heritage, nestled within much more vibrant musky flavors. The scent of the weed is notably dank and pungent; after grinding the buds, it releases a very skunky and, one might say, diesel-like aroma.

Asphalt Plant possesses strong soothing properties, making it an excellent choice for relaxation and unwinding. The waves of relaxation can be quite profound, almost tidal-like, as reported by users. These waves of relief start at the head and flow down the neck into the rest of the body, giving users a heavy sensation as if they are lying on a slab of concrete.

Growing information for Asphalt Plant is not readily available. However, like many strains from Alien Genetics' breeding projects, it produces beautiful plants covered in resin. This suggests that Asphalt Plant may require a bit more experience to grow effectively. It is likely to thrive both indoors and outdoors, thanks to its robust genetics, and may have a typical indica hybrid flowering time. Growers who choose to cultivate this strain may be rewarded with pungent smoke emanating from a plant that looks as though it has been dipped in asphalt. When analyzing Asphalt Plant’s genetics, a number of terpenes including myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene are found in abundance in the strain’s profile. The flavor and effect of the smoke, combined with the aroma profile, make this strain an excellent choice for connoisseurs.
