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.

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.

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.

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.

Blue Mountain Gas - Skunkfoot Farms

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.

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.

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.

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.
