Biscotti Chunks - Terpy Dabber house rosin Tier 1
Terpy hooked it up with some of the new house rosin he’s carrying to get a bit of feedback, and I’m happy to report that it’s very good. I got to try Biscotti Chunks, which ended up being some grape terps that really hit the spot. It’s a Cannarado jawn, this time Biscotti Sundae x Fatso and it’s mostly grape candy and funk.
Açaí Berry Gelato 49 - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
If you’re familiar with the story of Gelato, you remember that there are about six cuts of them floating around. 33 and 41 are the most popular today, but the others are still unique and interesting in their own rite. Açaí Berry Gelato is the #49 cut, and it’s certainly earned its name. Of all the original cuts, it’s probably the least gassy but definitely the most crushed berry forward and flavor coating fruity.
Blue Hawaiian - Terpy Dabber house Tier 1
The non branded flower options on Terpy Dabber’s menu is bound to leave even seasoned stoners in cannalysis paralysis, but Blue Hawiian was certainly a gem in the rough. The genetics on this are Blueberry x Hawaiian Sativa, and frankly I didn’t think I would enjoy it that much upon the first whiff. The nose is super fruity and creamy almost like a blue Kool Aid jammer, but the sweetness opens up a lot more on blend.
POG Juice - Blueprint
POG Juice is a new addition to the Blueprint lineup, and this one really brings forth the vibe you see on the jar. It’s got the tropical fruit punch type of terps you expect seeing an American Traditional sunset on the jar, and it’s no slouch in the effects department either.
Brides Maid - Moon Valley Cannabis
first heard of Moon Valley from Loadin’ Buckets, who mentioned the brand had some really cool stuff, and he was not wrong. They delivered some really impressive living soil hash, from novel genetics and I’m glad I got to try this flavor specifically off terpy dabber’s menu. Brides Maid is a hybrid of Wedding Crasher x Ninetails cut Hindu Kush, which brings together old school and modern terps in a very tasteful way.
Tropaya - Flavor Farming
The flavor is much more “trop” than “paya,” which personally I prefer but others might prefer more sharp funk off the nose. Like everything else off Shmu’s selection of Flavor Farming samples, this stuff smokes smooth and clean, which is appreciate for rosin at this price point. The hallmark of this sample though is the effects which are super slumpy and full bodied.
Acapulco Gold - Dungeon Valley Farm
Let’s not beat around the bush here, Dungeon Valley’s Acapulco Gold is not the hue you’d expect from very good rosin, but I want to ask readers to suspend their disbelief to the level of the plot of basically any film where Dolph Lundgren is cast. Immediately when you open the jar, you’re met with stinky lime rinds, allspice and pine in a way that keeps up with today’s bleeding edge hash genetics.
NL2 x Haze - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
Shmu reached out to me a couple weeks ago asking if he thought this batch of a 12 week flowering NL2 x Haze was worth putting on the menu. knowing Shmu’s customer base, this was an easy yes, but trying it myself it’s exceeded expectations.
Pink Pony - Faraway Farmstead
Part of why I was excited about Pink Pony was for the Chappell Roan name, but after learning about the genetics I was hype to try another killer energizing strain that east coasters will love.
Papaya MAC - DC Source house curation
By all accounts I should absolutely hate this strain considering I basically refuse to smoke MAC and have gone on record thinking Papaya is kind of mid. Maybe the mix of them sort of cancels out the traits I find mid or maybe this hybrid just has undeniable game.
Ruby Waves - Skunkfoot Farms
Ruby Waves has been on my radar for a minute since they told me about it at the ADHD Dead event in December. I really enjoyed their Gas Cap 11 when I tried it a couple of years ago on recommendation of JAH Apothecary, so hearing them cross that with Cherry Pie excited me a lot. Right off the bat, the nug reeks of explosive gas, which opens up even more on the blend.
Sunday Driver - Indoor Plant Kingdom (IPK)
Over the years I’ve pretty aggressively avoided Sunday Driver and after smoking this version from IPK, I definitely think that was a mistake. While being on this grape renaissance, this hybrid of Grape Pie x Fruity Pebbles OG has really struck a chord.
DOUBLE FEATURE - Flavor Farming II
Two more excellent additions to the Flavor Farming tier 2 lineup
White Wookies- Tornado Terpz (Copy)
When I opened the jar I immediately clocked how glistening the trichs are. White Wookies is much more effect forward, but the scent is still gassy cookie with a note of the “white” terp over the top of it that’s sort of like a metallic white Airheads bar.
Peaches - Blueprint
Over the last few years I’ve smoked a handful of strains from Blueprint or that have been on the Blueprint lineup but from other brands. Peaches was one of the strains at their Zalympix booth last weekend that is pretty new in the lineup, and this is the first time I’ve seen it on any of the local menus.
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.
Grape Gas - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
This version of Grape Gas as flower is one of the most pungent grape aromas that have ever crossed the olfactory. The nugs are frankly not that pretty, and the structure is quite foxtail-y and the resin is caked all over the place, but once you blend this down it’s reasonably fresh and the scent really erupts.
Seabiscuit - Gotti x Deep East Oakland
The last time I smoked Deep East was two or three years ago and I was not impressed due to how unclean the smoke was. So far, everything I’ve smoked from Gotti has been of great quality and super smooth smoke, and this is not exception.
Sour Rainbowz - Tuna Melts 710
Maywood made some big waves a couple of years ago with Pomelo Anderson from their house brand Fioré, and they remain putting out products that actually give Cookies a good reputation. Sour Rainbowz is one of the six available from their most recent drop, and after trying it I could definitely see this brand becoming more popular in the Cali METRC scene.
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.
