Aroma

I was excited to try one of the newest drops from RHYTHM, Afternoon Delight 4 and I knew that first impressions were going to mean everything. With this being a GMO cross, I was already expecting some funk, but I was pleasantly surprised with how many other notes were present.

Initially, I was slammed in the nose with a duo of fresh cut grass and honeysuckle that took me aback. Later notes of cedarwood and pepper made themselves known as the smell quickly dissipated into the air around me. Running the buds through a grinder also brought to light the sharp sting of astringent and nail polish remover, a note so pungent that I no

longer had to look for the GMO parental influence – it had tracked me down like a terpene-soaked assassin.

Appearance

Overall, the buds were extremely pretty to look at. The trichome retention on the Afternoon Delight was wildly impressive for commercially available cannabis in the Maryland market. Each of the nugs in my jar had in-tact and reactive heads on almost every stalk. The buds overall were dense and incredibly sticky when handled and broken apart. While there was some slight work on the bracts of the flower, the overall trim was good as well and didn’t seem to impact any of the major players on each bud. As much as it pained me to run these through the process of being broken down, I knew what needed to be done.

Flavor

For fans of the funky-gas profiles, look no further than this strain to find your delight. The dry hit of the joint that I rolled erupted in that same astringent aroma note that I had found when I first started to break the buds down. Almost the same note I had sting my nose was now also coating my entire palate with a chemical sting that was much less unappetizing and much more hypnotizing. Each pull continued the chem notes with more and more intensity, almost feeling like the flavors were all bunching up with each pull and intensifying. While I was enjoying the flavor a ton (these funky profiles are my cup of fermented tea), I was also constantly puffing on the joint to find more flavor and taste the flower again...which turned out to be the most delightfully happy accident of all.

Experience

Despite the name giving me a clear time of day to enjoy it, I chose to try Afternoon Delight in the evening, but it was equally as delightful. Labeled as a hybrid, this cultivar stayed true to its claim. No part of the high felt too racy nor too sedative and it came on gently. For anyone who may struggle with anxiety when a strain hits too hard, I would highly recommend this one - it even kept me even-keel enough to enjoy a few episodes of a show that would normally be nothing more than background noise while I wasted time on my phone. Big shout out to Manny over at Rhythm for the amazing recommendation and kudos to the GTI grow team on another well-done flower run!
