207 Headband - Best Friend Farms
207 Headband by Best Friend Farms has been something of a Maine legend the last couple years, and for whatever reason it’s just completely eluded my headstash. Hash on the Hudson heard my cries for heat and hooked it up with this sample, and it was totally worth the wait.
Chem 91 x TK - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
Chem 91 x TK is something gas lovers will salivate over while the odor burns in the nostrils, and the pungency is directly correlated with the outright potency. Even smaller doses of this cultivar is enough for a noticeable head change but regular doses are bound to leave even serious smokers heavy eyed and brain-fried.
Moonbow - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
One major complaint a lot of folks have about original Z is that it doesn’t really have a lot of power and that is clearly not the case with this Moonbow. The potency is punishing and much more sedative than the average Zkittlez. It’s no secret I’m a bonafide Z lover, but generally I’ve found it tough to find affordable Z hybrids, and this checks a lot of those boxes
Gas Face - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
You may be reading this and thinking “dang there have been a lot of Shmu menu items on review lately” but the reason for that is because value for money especially at the oz rate, the listings are super competitive and there’s a great variety. Gas Face is a great example of this. The nugs presented are massive and swollen just the way I appreciate, but what really got me is the flavor.
Head Hunter - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
It’s on record somewhere on this site that I’m a big fan of Gush Mints, probably more than the original Gushers at this point. In general, Purple City tend to be reliably enjoyable for me, so naturally seeing Legend OG x Gush Mints from Head Hunter, I had to try it off Shmu’s menu. Lucky for me this surpassed my expectations.
Struckleburst - Upward Organics
I’ve only gotten to try Upward Organics a few times, but every time I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the experience and specifically the flavor. The smoothness has been great, the luster is incredible and it’s safe to say they’re in the upper echelon of sungrown producers on the east coast
Tickle Burger - Funk House Farm
I reviewed Tickle Burger last year, but considering how good the last two samples were and that the review has seemingly become lost media, I requested another review sample of the Tickle Burger so I could tell about it again.
Maple Dunks - Dungeon Valley Farm
Dungeon Valley was gracious enough to let me sample another couple of grams of his hash, starting with Maple Dunks. This strain is one of Bloom hybrids, so naturally it hashes the way you’d expect. It’s a hybrid of Gary Payton x Black Maple and right off rip you notice ripe gassy grape coming off the gooey blonde dollop.
Tropikarma - Flavor Farming
When you hear Trop most of the time, you think bright citrus terps, but this one is much more of a mild blood orange with notes of cherry and a lot of fuel. The effect is also refreshing, relaxing and reminds me of the way a frozen drink and a warm breeze feels.
Skywalker OG - Funk House Farm
Skywalker from Funk House is an excellent OG sample and very textbook for that genetic. I feel like there isn’t a whole lot to say about OG that hasn’t been said, but once you smoke it, you’ll probably sit down and shut up too.
Biscotti x GDP - Blueprint
I’ve been smoking on this Biscotti x GDP from Blueprint for a couple weeks now, and the more I smoke it the more it grows on me. It reminds me a lot of the Purple Dino I’ve had from Blueprint in the past but there’s some new stuff going here
DOUBLE FEATURE - Flavor Farming II
Two more excellent additions to the Flavor Farming tier 2 lineup
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.
GG4 x Cookies - Blueprint
I’ve been a fan of Glue since before I started smoking as many strains a year as I do now, and it’s one of the most exciting things for my tastebuds. The last time I had a Glue cross from TJT, I was frankly quite disappointed, that being the Biscotti x GG x Oreoz on the Doja menu which later became Blueprint’s P90. But this hybrid smokes like a dream and I went through it way more quickly than I’d like to admit.
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.
Permanent Zangria - Wizard Trees
This sample is a hybrid between Seed Junky’s Permanent Market and the afformentioned Zangria, which translates to a crushed wine grape quality with the sharpie bite and saturation in the aroma and flavor. It arrived pretty fresh which translates to a good bit of smoothness. The effects are a fairly familiar slumpy heady pressure with solid potency.
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.
Zushi - DC Source house curation
With all the talk about Zushi as the TenCo marketing phenomenon over the years, I’ve only gotten to try the original Z x Kush Mints that was named Zushi a couple of times. This is bred by Seed Junky, who may be the most prolific breeder of the recent era in terms of the strains he’s created that show up on retail shelves.
Z Face - Archive Portland
I’ve been seeing some small drops of flower from Archive hit menus like Astor Club over the last year. I’ve smoked Z Face a few times in hash but trying it for the first time as flower I see why it’s gotten so much attention
