Please describe how the strain looked:
Budd is a light green color with occasional orange hairs and a light frosting.  I cant make out any crystals on the outside but the bud does have a lightly frosted look to it.

When I break the budd open, there are no more crystals apparent than on the outside of budd.  Some very small crystals did powder onto my finger tips. I couldn’t really see them well but could feel them in between my fingers.

Please describe the smell:
This isn’t the worst smelling plant ever, but it is not that great.  It smells kind of like sour hay.

I never felt very intoxicated.  I felt something but it was not that intense.
