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.
Rainbow Sowahh- Flavor Farming
I’ve been really enjoying the strains Flavor Farming has been breeding with Sowah, and Rainbow Sowah is absolutely another banger. It’s a hybrid of RS11 x Sowahh, and while a lot of people debate over whether the Karma Sours are “real” Sour, I think this is still exactly what I envision for a cross of RS11 and Sour.
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.
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
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.
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.
Apehangers OG - Funk House Farm
I’ve tried this before once or twice from Funk House, but this newest batch is far and away the best it’s been. If you’re an east coast gas head, this is one strain you must get your hands on. It’s a Karma Genetics hybrid of GG4 x Headbanger OG, and it’s got all the best features from both. It’s sticky, dense, super resinous, has a wild hue and it’s louder that Sturgis.
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.
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
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.
