Blue Bayou- T-BARZ
Every now and then, DC Source comes in clutch with some dank from a brand I’ve never heard of, and he’s done it yet again with this Blue Bayou from T-Barz. I’m always a little skeptical of brands that use art like this on 100ml Miron jars, but the quality from T-Barz’s second release is a pleasant surprise.
Sowah Mangoz - Misty’s Melts
Another banger from Misty’s Melts, Sowah Mangoz is a hybrid of two of the most popular Flavor Farming genetics for one exceptional and highly stimulating hybrid. It’s another example of why I still recommend the rosin even with the full melt and cold cure melt around, because of the smoothness and cleanliness in addition to the flavor.
Zimosa #2 - 710 Labs
I’ve been smoking a bit more 710 Labs this year, but I’ve been curious about their flower for a good long while after seeing countless gorgeous photos of the buds on Reddit. My expectations for Zimosa were high and low in different respects, and overall it kind of subverted those expectations in many categories.
Is DC about to legalize Cannabis? (2025 Edition)
We’re no longer in an age of hoping and praying our gray market gets the green light for a gold rush in the white market. We’ve reverted back to a time where peoples’ lives and liberties are on the line.
Cap Junky - Living Matter
It’s no secret that I have absolutely no love for Cap Junky, but Living Matter has always really impressed me with their products the few times I’ve tried them. A mutual friend told me the batches of Cap Junky and Wedding Pie were truly on another level this round after moving to a new facility. Wrapped in a dense supremely resinous dank kush package, this version of Cap Junky is one that I’m glad I didn’t miss.
Z x TK x SFV #2 - TerpStarz Genetics
If you’ve been following DC Source for a while now, you know about the WTF tier and some of of the fire that’s been listed there, but the new Diamond Tier of the menu is even more insane. This Z x TK x SFV #2 from TerpStarz is a prime example of this crazy curation and I’m grateful I get to try it because genetics like these hit the spot.
Too Much Zushi - Misty’s Melts
It seems like everything I try from Misty’s Melts just keeps getting better, and Too Much Zushi is of course on that trend. I’ve been wanting to try this Bloom flavor since earlier this year when I saw the first wave of producers with the cut running it, and I’m glad Misty’s Melts got on the bandwagon.
Hash Burger - Eugreen
If you read some of my reviews from last year, unfortunately most of them are lost media, then you may remember me reviewing a few Hashplant hybrids and especially appreciating the sharp mojito terp. Beast Coast Terps in his expert curation selected this flavor out of the bunch and it has both enchanting terps and intense potency.
Yogurt Drip - Eugreen
California and Maine have been the real meta in the New York scene for the last couple of years, but this Yogurt Drip shows that Oregon still really has it going on. Beast Coast Terps got set up with the line on living soil flavors from some of the most well known cultivators in the state, one of which being Eugreen, which has a record of consistently great flower.
Chem 91 x Skunkdog- Funk House Farm
Funk House has been really crushing it with the Skunkdog crosses, and lucky for me Jane Doe hooked me up with the second one, which is Chem 91 x Skunkdog. Chem 91 is a legendary hybrid that’s thought to be the underpinning of all gas genetics we know today. Maui Skunkdog has been popular in Maine for a while, and the melding of those flavors and effects is truly killer.
Cheddar Wedges - Blended Family Farms
Another debut of a local grower, Blended Family Farms reached out and submitted his Cheddar Wedges for review, and samples like this are why I accept review submissions the way I do. It’s clearly an off the beaten path genetic grown with much care, and it’s clear Blended Family Farms is only on its way up from here.
Pioneer Piff - Funk House Farm
Welcoming a new vendor to the community is always a serious pleasure for me. We’re long past the salad days of I71, so finding someone like Jane Doe Deliveries that’s in it for the love of the game and to chase the dragon on quality, is always special.
Mega Z Red - Super Dope (CA)
The mega disappointment continues but fortunately ends here with Mega Z Red. This one is the most frustrating to not meet my expectations because OZK is one of my favorite genetics of all time, and this one does not hit the heights I would expect from such a legendary genetic.
Gary Payton - High Road
I got to try High Road’s Gary Payton as flower a number of years ago as flower, and while they mostly don’t run it anymore as flower, it’s still kicking around as flower from other top producers in Maine. Recently I also had their Cereal Milk rosin, the same cross but the #18 pheno rather than the #20 pheno, which was like crushed berries in acetone, which is one of my favorite flavors of the year.
Mega Z Dark - Super Dope (CA)
Mega Z Dark was another one that I tried during the previous rosin saga, and unfortunately it’s another one that just doesn’t hold up. This performance is frankly more expected because washing Zoap is more an art than a science, and they didn’t exactly have it dialed in before.
Mega Z Blue - Super Dope (CA)
Back a couple of years ago when Super Dope was at their peak popularity, Mega Z Blue was one of the most sought after flavors in the country. It was a strong translation of the tissue culture Z cut, and I’m sad to report this flavor just doesn’t hold up. Don’t get me wrong, this is still solid smoke with strong effects, but my standards for Z hybrids are higher than most casual smokers will get in their life, and this sample did not meet them.
Ether 41 - District Chiefer House Curation
If you’ve been following the waves of candy flavors the last few years, you’ve probably noticed Ether kicking around basically since Runtz came out. In a lot of ways, Ether is the ultimate sixth-man variety, and Ether 41 is a straight improvement over the things that made the original so special.
Motorbreath - Ryder Farms
It’s not a secret that I’m a big Motorbreath lover, but this version from Ryder Farms is truly exemplary. It’s another cut that’s been kicking around the Maine scene for the past half decade or so and for good reason.
Bubblegum Popperz - Super Dope (CA)
Bubblegum Popperz used to have the reputation for being the runt of the lineup, and not just because of the genetics, being a cut labeled “LA Runtz.” Super Dope is back in business with this rosin that is a complete 180º and an easy recommendation from the lineup. That could be the end of the review right there, but this also might be one of the best Runtz rosins I’ve seen to date.
“Triangle Mints” - Ryder Farms
If you get to try this sample from Ryder Farms, it’s immediately obvious that this is not just a regular Wedding Cake. Unfortunately, this is a situation where I’ve been asked not to publicize what the clone is, but if you’ve been smoking elite flower in Maine for the last couple of years, the effect and stink will make it pretty obvious.
