The Machine
#65

Chem de la chem x arise

sativa

Our Fall 2023 release of The Machine

includes The Machine #65 from our pheno hunt. This phenotype was carefully chosen by our cultivation team as the finest cut of The Machine due to its killer structure, strong chem/fuel aroma, and dense trichome coverage.

Selected for those with top tier taste, this lineage of Chem de la Chem and Arise combine to create this sativa strain with a unique frosty appearance and an equally unique terpene profile. Her effects set in quickly and pack a punch, resulting in energizing effects and a flavorful experience.

The
Experience

"Sticky, squishy buds with a very tingly, up, and motivated feeling.

Great morning time strain."
- Brandon eberhard,
Empathetix canna-bus
mobile clinic manager
"The Machine totally blew me away. Its colorful buds were the first thing that caught my eye - deep purples and dark greens with a bit of orange mixed in. The smell was an enticing blend of earthy and citrus notes, and the taste was just as good, with earthy, woody, and piney flavors.

The elevation gain from this one was something else, starting with an energizing, creative buzz and then transitioning into a soothing body relaxation. It's great for different medical conditions, but you've got to be careful because it's pretty strong. All in all, The Machine is a top-notch strain, perfect for those who want a top-quality and intense cannabis experience."

“Best pheno of the machine I’ve seen yet. Nice chem/diesel nose. Killer structure and even better bag appeal. Fat dense nugs, but still has those long orange pistils that The Machine is known for. Awesome to see some color in the nugs. Trichome coverage is much, much better than the other phenos I’ve had.

Mouth coating terps. Nice chem/diesel flavor. Burned mostly clean. Incredible uplifting and energetic high. Pretty decent body high as well. Relieved my usual aches and pains, but also provided a very clean head effect that has me ready to tackle the day.”

"Allowed me to be quite functional and focused. Very noticeable how smooth it was. Somewhat of a fuel-like aroma to it, but still delightful.

At one point it made it seem like the moon was covering up the sun almost completely apart [from] a ring of fire of some sorts. I’m not sure if that result will happen every time, but it was quite awesome."

Notes from the Hunt

[Ryan] The Machine #65 stood out from the beginning. A true outlier phenotype. Out of 300 plants, #65 was completely unique to the group. A little less stretchy and more colorful than the other phenotypes. More sativa dominant in terms of morphology, narrow blade leaves and a longer flowering time. She finishes strong at the end and packs on the trichomes.

When dried, the aromas of the flowers brings out a chemmy, skunky kind of terp profile with a little bit of burnt rubber smell. More of a racy, get up and do something, talk your ear off type of effect. Potency hits hard. Inexperienced consumers will feel their eyes gloss over and their frown turn upside down.

[Sully] The Machine #65 is a large, strong structured plant that grows vigorously and clones very well. Bright orange pistils and large green and purple flowers. She has a blend of chem, diesel funk aroma. She is very frosty with trichomes, shiny and beautiful.

Tastes incredible. The aroma translates to flavor but sweeter. Gave me heavy effects that came on quickly. Feelings of uplift, focus and some pain relief as well. I felt some anxiety as well, once I started working on some tasks as I was able to focus and my anxiety lifted.

[Jamison] Machine #65 has large dense colas that have a silver hue. Looks like an old school kush plant. Smells earthy and has a peppery kushy taste.

This one has more of a cerebral creative effect. A sativa type high that starts behind the eyes.
