To be fair, I wouldn't be 100% on mine being kandy kush either. Though I trust the grower, it's difficult to be sure as it's still very underground in the U.K. When it comes to cannabis grows.
And I can't say what the smell of the raw bud was as I have only had the trimmings so far, still waiting on my mate to bring over some of the buds to smoke. I will keep jack herer in mind when I get it.
