The buds themselves smell slightly sweeter, giving way to pungency and even a bit of gas (think headbanger) when I broke them open and ground some up.

Archive descriptors
Record notes
Only descriptors supported by both the archive record and supplementary cultivar data are listed here.
Reported sensory and character descriptors vary by phenotype, batch and individual experience. They are not medical guidance.
Genetics and lineage
The recorded lineage includes Sour Do-Si-Dos X Headbanger. Source disagreement should be treated as part of the cultivar's naming history rather than flattened into a false certainty.
Flavour
Reported flavour notes include diesel, herbal, sour, spicy and sweet.
Reported character
Reported effects include body, uplifted, relaxed, sleepy and tingly. Individual experiences vary.
Background
Made by crossing the famous Headbanger (male) x Sour Do-Si-Dos, Double Funk captures a mixture of flavour profiles and delivers a unique-tasting hit.
Double Funk's genetics can be traced back further - Headbanger = Biker Kush X Sour Diesel, and Sour Do-Si-Dos = Do-Si-Dos X Sour Dubble.
Bred by Karma Genetics in collaboration with London Dank, this sample was originally from a test seed given to Chemdank.
This is an indica-dominant hybrid.
Appearance
The Double Funk sample looks good, with heavy trichome coverage (it particularly glistens under the flash).
Without the flash, but in good light, the double funk maintains a more uniform colour with light green shades which still contrast with the pistils. This has a bit of an old school sort of look to it.
The calyces aren't stacked and there is some squish to this bud, so not as dense as some other strains from this grower but the stickiness gives hint to the THC content of this strain.
Aroma
This is a complex aroma, with strong pungent and sour notes coming from the pot that the sample was stored in.
The buds themselves smell slightly sweeter, giving way to pungency and even a bit of gas (think headbanger) when I broke them open and ground some up.
It is less gassy than headbanger, and less sweet than other strains, giving it a unique profile. At this point I recorded what I was missing - a sort of sour smell that is apparent from when the buds are broken, but which carries over into the taste. Taste + Smoking / Vaping Experience
I tried the Double Funk through my Chongz Widowmaker and my Mighty Vaporizer, to get an idea of both the smoking and vaping experience.
Interestingly, this is a strain which I prefer to smoke over vaping, let me explain!
First of all, I can tell this is really clean weed. The smoking experience leaves no bite on the inhale or exhale, and the vaping experience is smooth and delivers plenty of flavour.
The flavour itself is uniquely sour and pungent, and very different from the gassy headbanger I was expecting to taste a bit of. This has a sweetness of cookies, but a sour of its own devising, probably from the Sour Dubble, a genetics branch I was less familiar with.
When I smoke it I don't get a huge amount of taste, just nice cool smoke which is slightly expansive on the exhale.
Vaping, however, the taste is very apparent, and it is not my favourite sort of cannabis taste, reminding me of some old kush's I had smoked years ago, but nothing that I had come across recently.
So despite being very interesting, my personal preference is that this is not the taste for me. I wonder if this could be the taste of this phenotype, with others leaning more towards the gas of the headbanger/ sour diesel.
Effects
The Double Funk kicks in fast and it kicks in hard.
It is the relaxation which kicks in first, chilling me right out. I notice some light sensitivity and also a general sense of happiness as the bong kicks in.
By bong two my eyes have gone, with one looking lazier than the other in true stoned style, and you can see that I was struggling to maintain the conversation fluidity towards the end of the review!
Conclusion
This was a high-quality bit of weed, and I enjoyed reviewing it, despite not enjoying the flavour as much as other strains I had reviewed. The appearance is good, the smell and effects are both top-notch, so Double Funk by Karma Genetics looks like a solid strain for 2019.
