Seb's take
Big Sur Holy crossed with Afghani, and the name is an acronym — Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium — that for once tells you exactly what you are getting. A runner-up at the Cannabis Cup, she rewards a patient 10-11 week flower with tall, spear-like colas and a long-lasting, uplifting high. Bred for equilibrium, and mostly delivering it.
Where it comes from
Big Sur Holy crossed with Afghani, and the name does the explaining for once, S.A.G.E. stands for Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium, a rare instance of an acronym telling you exactly what is in the tin. The Big Sur side brings the Californian sativa length, the Afghani the indica ballast, and the object was balance between the two. T.H. Seeds landed it well enough that the strain took second place in a Cannabis Cup blind test, a rep earned on the nose alone.
Nose & flavour
The record is sparing on the fine notes, so I will not invent a profile it declines to give. What it does promise is a well-balanced haze, which points to the bright, aromatic, faintly spiced register the haze family is known for. A haze of some pedigree, in other words, and one I would trust to announce itself clearly enough in the jar.
The high
Long-lasting and uplifting, by the record's account, the cerebral, soaring end of things, in keeping with the sativa side of that genetic equilibrium. At over 20% THC it has the strength to sustain the length, a high that settles into the mind and keeps its footing for a good while. Bright, durable company for an unhurried stretch.
Growing it
A patient grower's plant. She takes a moderate 10 to 11 weeks, 70 to 77 days, to flower, but rewards the wait with tall, spear-like colas and an excellent bud-to-leaf ratio that makes the trim a pleasure. Yields run 350 to 400 g/m², and the record notes she can reach up to 500 in the right hands, from a plant standing 120 to 140cm. At over 20% THC, a refined, generous grow well worth the fortnight or two of extra patience.
