Party Popperz - Super Dope (CA)
It’s been a good long while since I’ve covered Super Dope in my reviews and the first time I’m covering Party Popperz, but thankfully District Chiefer came through with all the new Super Dope releases. This strain was originally a collab with Doja Pak of Runtz x Blumosa, originally intended to be Blue Gatorade, and the branding is sort of a crossover of all the characters from the Popperz series.
Kushibara - John Doe Supply Co.
Terpy Dabber was insistent that I tried the new John Doe Supply Co, and hit me with a sample of their Kushibara, which we haven’t gotten the genetics on yet. Like the Kamikaze, it follows a sort of Japanese heritage inspired design and is a Z cut and/or hybrid. The nugs are just caked in resin, and while they’re not huge, they’re much prettier than a lot of Z tends to be.
Blue Waffles - Nebula Gardenz
I wrote before about the rising stardom of Nebula Gardenz, and probably the strain of theirs I was the most excited for is Blue Waffles. The name it obviously a catch, but beyond that, these terps are really unique, especially for being a bagseed of London Pound Cake 75.
SB36 #1 - 710 Labs (CA)
The next two reviews I want to cover 710 Labs products from two different states. This SB36 is a 90µ Persy Badder, otherwise known as cold cure live rosin. The black jars are the top of the line jars above all the tiers in California and this jar is one of the flagship strains in their library.
Z Pie - Gallo Grown x Hushle
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past two years you’ve probably seen Raw Genetics’ Z Pie on many menus and probably some podiums. Smokey Bodega’s version won gold in the 2024 Billy Awards, and it’s been on the Don Merfos, Last Frontier and Wildflower Cannabis lineups. But Gallo Grown’s version is on a whole other level. To the uninitiated, this flavor is very similar to a lot of other candies, but with a bit more kerosene and lime.
Black Ya Hemi - Grandiflora Genetics
I’ve only gotten to try Grandiflora’s work from their California partners once or twice, but Black Ya Hemi hit the radar and I was immediately interested. I’ve used Grandiflora as the butt of some bagseed jokes over the years, but at this point Project 4516 has earned its spot as a west coast staple.
Meduza - Hall of Flame
Hall of Flame podiumed for Zours at Zalyumpix 2025 and also placed third in the Rookie of the Year category in the Billy’s last month. The sample arrived securely from Clubhouse Drops a little bit beat up, which is known to happen when flower goes coast to coast, but after smoking it myself it’s clear why this made rank.
6 Seed Lines to Consider for Your Next Grow
These six seed lines are from a variety of breeders who have each done much work to make the line happen, and each of them has their own signature flare. These lines all check many boxes, including solid table weight and reasonable yield to hash if that’s where your enthusiasm takes you. Ultimately, any one of those choices should help growers get through their first few harvests without sacrificing undeniable quality as both flower and water hash.
Lemon Tree x Nigerian Haze - Honeylog Caregivers
Normally Lemon Tree x Nigerian Haze is not a strain I would spring for, but knowing Honeylog’s quality control I knew I couldn’t just write it off as some mids from the dep field. Generally I avoid Lemon Tree hybrids because they have a really pissy aftertaste and a heavy crash on the end of it, but I don’t find either of these things in the hybrid, despite the overwhelming Lemon Tree expression in the aroma.
Skullcandy - Turkey Bag Tom
Turkey Bag Tom has impressed often in the past in his searches of large northern California facilities, surfacing hidden gems the often have overstock or get overlooked. In the past, he especially impressed me with his Cherry Moonshine and his curation of Tea Time and he’s also managed to find some of the best value crops of OG in NorCal. A lot of this stuff has shown up on other menus with other names, namely Don Merfos and Wizard Trees, and I suspect Skullcandy is the same deal.
Papaya Marshmallow - Honeylog Caregivers
Going into this review, I didn’t know much about this offering, but I’ve been following Honeylog Caregivers' for years now and I’ve become very familiar with the type of pressure they purvey. So I decided to take a new approach to this and take the brand new offering at face value with little expectations.
Cherry Pomelo - Nebula Gardenz
If this sample is a prime example of the rest of their lineup, then we have a serious situation. Cherry Pomelo seems to be a cut of Cherry Biscotti, which if I remember correctly is LCG x Biscotti, and boy does this stuff stink.
Blue Hawaiian - Terpy Dabber house Tier 1
Trying award winning hash is always a pleasure, but trying award winning jam diamonds from a brand from Massachusetts, the debut for that state in any of my reviews, has got to be one of the biggest ESPN stat moments I’m publishing yet. Another one from the ADHDDEAD 420 celebrations, Cranberry Z is one that I’ve tried in hyrids a couple of times but this I think is also the first time I’ve tried it on its own.
POG Juice - Blueprint
POG Juice is a new addition to the Blueprint lineup, and this one really brings forth the vibe you see on the jar. It’s got the tropical fruit punch type of terps you expect seeing an American Traditional sunset on the jar, and it’s no slouch in the effects department either.
Brides Maid - Moon Valley Cannabis
first heard of Moon Valley from Loadin’ Buckets, who mentioned the brand had some really cool stuff, and he was not wrong. They delivered some really impressive living soil hash, from novel genetics and I’m glad I got to try this flavor specifically off terpy dabber’s menu. Brides Maid is a hybrid of Wedding Crasher x Ninetails cut Hindu Kush, which brings together old school and modern terps in a very tasteful way.
NL2 x Haze - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
Shmu reached out to me a couple weeks ago asking if he thought this batch of a 12 week flowering NL2 x Haze was worth putting on the menu. knowing Shmu’s customer base, this was an easy yes, but trying it myself it’s exceeded expectations.
A Brief History of Runtz
Runtz really started in 2017, when according to Ray Bama, they transformed the gem they found from the facility to the top dog diamond with the brand as iconic as Tiffany’s, thanks to a bit of special help from Sticker Farmer. Once Yung LB and Ray Bama made it to the Emerald Cup with their Wonka flip design, Berner took the Runtz brand under his wing, the name became synonymous with “exotic” and the rest was history.
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
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.
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.
