Molotov Skunktail #16 - Weaving Genetics
By all accounts this is not a strain I should like, but ever since smoking Skunktail the first time a few years ago I’ve been hooked. The experience reminds me of getting a sugar rush from orange juice in the morning when I was a kid, and while I normally don’t smoke the intensely cerebral buzzy strains, Skunktail is irresistible.
Apehangers OG - Funk House Farm
I’ve tried this before once or twice from Funk House, but this newest batch is far and away the best it’s been. If you’re an east coast gas head, this is one strain you must get your hands on. It’s a Karma Genetics hybrid of GG4 x Headbanger OG, and it’s got all the best features from both. It’s sticky, dense, super resinous, has a wild hue and it’s louder that Sturgis.
Dirty Chem Haze - Beast Coast Terps house curation
I’ve spoken a lot about recognizing good game, even if I don’t preferentially like the weed, and Dirty Chem Haze is exactly that. The nugs are just stunning top to bottom, but the terps are just not for me.
Ztan - Flavor Farming
Ztan is Flavor Farming’s own creation thats a hybrid of Z x Zowahh, which makes it a Zkittlez Bx with Karma Sour. When I first saw this back in December, immediately I knew it was going to be the new flagship flavor, from it’s excellent appearance – especially for a Z hybrid – to killer aroma, and just three months later this fresh batch confirms that has been the case.
Cereal Milk evolution: How Cookies has milked its marketing potential
Cookies has a lot of strains that we consider to be icons even in today’s hyper marketed cannabis world, but possibly the unsung hero of the whole brand is Cereal Milk. It was one of the first strains that was released under the iteration of the brand as we know how it operates today, but it’s also selected with some fairly old school philosophy. Since then, they’ve brought the best toget and ran it back again and again for Cereal A La Mode and Cinnamon Milk.
Black Maple - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
Black Maple has garnered a lot of hype the last 2-3 years as a hash strain that’s part of Bloom Seed Co’s lineup. This is a hybrid of Dulce de Uvas x Sherbanger 22 but the traits of this sample lead me to believe this was hunted from seed. The first thing I noticed out of the jar was how fresh it was, honestly almost too fresh.
Blue Mountain Gas - Skunkfoot Farms
Lately I’ve been loving the Skunkfoot flavors I’ve tried, but I’ve noticed a distinct lack of gas in the stash, which is what I think Skunkfoot excels at. Luckily Terpy Dabber swooped in with the saving grace sour in the form of this Blue Mountain Gas jar, and I think it’s one of my favorite things from Skunkfoot yet.
Triforce - Fish Creek Farms
I’ve heard about Kryptonite from a bunch of the older east coast heads and TK is one of my favorite OGs, and I didn’t know what to expect from this sample still. It’s not really a looker, the buds are super dense and it’s not got a modern type of resin, but in this situation looks are absolutely deceiving.
Marshmallow OG - Right Coast Reserve
After my last review of the Assassins OG, I saw Right Caast Reserve also had a Marshmallow OG, which has been a bucket list smoke for a couple of years now. It’s an OG hybrid that almost has the flavor of burnt marshmallow smoke, and it’s one of the parents of Stay Puft, which was a 2022 favorite for me.
Lokiño Watermelon - Dorsia
Dorsia’s store mostly focuses on sour, funk and gas, but he and I have spoken many times about how great it is when you can supply truly elite candy. Lokiños is a hybrid of Watermelon Zkittlez x Runtz, and this stuff has me excited like it’s 2022 again. Zkittlez x Runtz was always something I wanted to try from Seven Leaves, and when I opened this jar it impressed past three years of hype.
Shadow Banned #2 - Shiva’s Stash/YMP
About a month ago, I wrote about Shadow Banned from Shiva’s Stash and mentioned that I got a second pheno of it that I’d be testing later after the recommended cure time. It’s now that time, and we have Shadow Banned #2 on the block.
Rocket Fuel - Dorsia
I never really expected anyone to blow up this specific genetic but after trying these sticky dense nugs, this strain is a perfect fit for the Dorsia menu. It’s a raunchy and savory fuel/gas flavor that’s perfectly in the middle of the BO-to-new-Jordans spectrum of industrial kush.
C.R.E.A.M. - Dorsia
Fiya Farmer has proliferated the C.R.E.A.M cut much more, even to one of Dorsia’s premier partners in Maine, who’s known for turning west coast hits into east coast favorites.
OM x Mendo Breath #1 - Shiva’s Stash/YMP
This hybrid of the TK x Breath Work, Om Mani, is crossed with the Gage Green Mendo Breath and presents with complex aromas and incredible stature. The Om Mani adds a lot of bulk to the structure which makes the nugs especially dense.
Papusas - Gobshop
I think part of why I love this strain so much is because it reminds me a lot of the Fletcher’s Cove I grew, and the quality reflects that of a careful cultivator. The flavor is savory sweet gas with a lingering halitosis and it’s for sure the kind of flavor that I would want to smoke too much of.
Juicy Cubez - Papermill Cannabis Co
Juicy Cubez has been on my bucket list for a while because Z Cube is a personal favorite, and this flavor did not disappoint. Being a hybrid of Red Piegasm x Z Cube, it has that sickly sweet confectionary note over the greasy Z notes, which made for an expression that smelled a lot like Juicy Fruit gum.
Humboldt Dream - Gobshop
Another flavor I absolutely did not expect to favor, Humboldt Dream by Humboldt Seed Co. is a fruity twist on the classic Blue Dream.
Assassin OG - Right Coast Reserve
Right Coast Reserve is keeping the OG flame alive in Maine with cuts like Ghost OG as well as fostering newer fire in the form of their Marshmallow OG and Sour x Irene OG. Assassin OG is right in the middle being a newer school selection that’s a very sour leaning gas
Banana Runtz - Gobshop
If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that I’ve reviewed a lot of candy, and not a single sample has ever looked or smelled like this. Part of this has to do with the average LCG being grown in massive mega facilities where east nug is handled by nine guys burgers and fries. Most of it has to do with Gobs’ exceptional care for his plants.
Blood Orange - Papermill Cannabis Co
Blood Orange is Cali Orange x Appalachia, and the Appalachia being a Chem hybrid makes a huge difference. The nose is a stinky orange gas, which hits perfectly on the palate and translates to stimulation that’s more like orange juice than coffee in the morning.
