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

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.

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.

Strawberry Pie - Flavor Farming
Another excellent addition to the Flavor Farming tier 2 lineup

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.

Shadow Banned - Shiva’s Stash/YMP
Shiva’s Stash has been dropping banger after banger on the Shmu menu since 2023 when we first got Aparigraha.

DOUBLE FEATURE - Flavor Farming
Two excellent additions to the Flavor Farming tier 2 lineup

Pink Lemonade - Skunkfoot Farms
This batch of Pink Lemonade is nothing short of incredible. It’s fresh, perfectly trimmed, and the resin really glistens on the nug.

Diesel Dynamo - 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.
