Gemstone

Amazing strain in smell and appearance, actually had to save a nug for a display case it was so pretty. I was told it was bred in the Northern California area. The strain however was overwhelmingly sedative for me and my girlfriend, we found it more effective than most pure indicas for insomnia relief. Haven't seen it down here in LA much, but when I did it was my go-to sleeping strain. Gotta rate it highly for the complexity of the breeding and the aesthetic uniqueness (whoever bred this has skills), but the Lavender and Northern Lights are very prevalent in this hybrid and just knocked me and my GF straight into dreamland - there was no degree of stimulation physically or mentally. I would say this is a marvelous indica-dominant hybrid, but it is the opposite of a daytime medication.

An indica feeling/effect, w/a slight sativa finish...Get a bag of loose green tea, a burnt sugar cube, and a couple of tablespoons of watered down punch, then mix/mush them all together...this is what Gemstone smells like to me! I have had a mild brain injury/post-concussion for about 10 years, this strain really agrees with my head. It doesn't make me sleepy, just calm and cerebral - a really well balanced strain and high. A shout out to the Bloom Room in SF for carrying this strain.If you like hybrids that lean slightly to the indica side, grab this.

[Northern Lights X Skunk #1 X Lavender X Diesel] This delicate combination of strong strains blends as much in the effect as the look of the bud. Each bud is simultaneously purple and light green with diesel tendrils and beds of orange hair. The effect begins immediately in the body and spikes the appetite while having very little lethargic side-effect. As the initial body high subsides there is a definite euphoric energy lift and spike in cerebral activity. This combination yields for an amazing medicine and useful for those looking for daytime pain relief or the extremely anxiety prone in search of euphoria.
