Mfgr....if you are into that kind of thing you may want to try the Master Kush.....I grew it and am actually growing it again because I quite liked it. As far as taste and scent, I found it to be rather unique.....the scent was like a nice piney smell that I really liked (and miss as a matter of fact.....I liked it that much) and the taste was smooth, NOT at ALL harsh and a little hashy....also unique I felt, but a nice taste as well. GOOD hitting buzz also, easy grower (past the seedling stage....all the "blueblood" seedlings seem delicate to me as opposed to a bagseed) and GOOD yielder. Just a thought.....
