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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Jelly Mochi- Dungeon Valley Farm
Dungeon Valley and I met online where I recognized the Rainbow House gear he was running, and he especially recommended the Hella Jelly line for the specific selection having a proper fruity floral flavor to them, compared to the pas versions being like of Great Value cough medicine with a tinge of basic gas.
Strawberry Pie - Flavor Farming
Another excellent addition to the Flavor Farming tier 2 lineup
Motorbreath #15- Only Smoke the Finest
Motorbreath, specifically Motorbreath #15, is another Jungle Boys genetic that’s become a Maine staple. Past the glistening resin and the dense nug, you have a strain that reeks up the whole house. Motorbreath is without a doubt one of the raunchiest and gassiest strains you can find, and this sample of that is textbook for why it’s become so popular.
Secret Cookies - Only Smoke the Finest
Secret Cookies has remained remarkably consistent for finally flying the Firefly coop, but this version that’s made it down to the OSTF menu is elite. It’s a great example of one of my favorite strains, so it’s an easy recommendation from me.
Chem D x Wedding Cake - Hiker Trash
st like any sample where I was only able to picture a small amount in the jar, I enjoyed this a lot, and am super excited for whatever the next Hiker Trash sample is that makes it to the stash.
Rainbow Belts 1.0 - Skunkfoot Farms
A lot of hardcore enthusiasts don’t really like Rainbow Belts because they feel it’s a watered down version of Zkittlez, and while I don’t agree, I understand where that idea comes from. While Rainbow Belts 3.0 is much more limey in flavor, the original Rainbow Belts 1.0 leans much more on the fruity notes of the Z as well as the bright gas from the Do Si Dos to make something that in my opinion is comparable to Z but with some extra quality of life updates that make it easier to grow and be less likely to look ugly in the bag.
Dracula (f.k.a. King Sherb) - Hiker Trash
I smoked this eighth in my Flower Pot setup faster than I’ve smoked something in a while. The scent and the flavor are basically confectionary kerosene, hitting that brightest gas note before it hits astringency. With that flavor profile comes the slump and euphoria you expect from OG/Cookie hybrids and the way it hits the palate is the type of taste I obsess over.
