Yellow Mermaid - Bungludetch Farms
For the last year or so, I’ve been seeing an unreal amount of hype for Yellow Mermaid, bred by rising star Flavor Designer, the house genetics out of Pheno Addicts. So when DC Source hit me with the opportunity to check out this despite the buzz about Bungludetch’s business situation, I was psyched to finally see what’s what.
GMO x G41 - Blueprint
It’s been a little while since we’ve had Blueprint on the docket, but they’ve been pretty consistent all year, and this is no different. I find it particularly interesting that Blueprint is able to achieve so much success with so many different types of genetics, but this GMO x G41 has the type of gas I want to see from them.
Wedding Fuel - JarCo.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Zushi - DC Source house curation
With all the talk about Zushi as the TenCo marketing phenomenon over the years, I’ve only gotten to try the original Z x Kush Mints that was named Zushi a couple of times. This is bred by Seed Junky, who may be the most prolific breeder of the recent era in terms of the strains he’s created that show up on retail shelves.
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.
Z-1000 - Tornado Terpz
DC Source absolutely hooked it up hitting me with a 7g jar of the Z-1000, and within seconds of opening the jar it’s easy to see why this was a phenomenon through the back half of last year
Tropical Depression- Watson Supply Co
The new new from Watson, this is something I didn’t expect to get in the stash and I’ve seriously grateful I did. The hybrid behind this exquisitely designed bag is Zkittles x Triangle Kush, and it gives a lot of lemon zest but mostly citrus has all in a super dense package.
Blue Lobster - Maine Trees
For the uninitiated, Blue Lobster is Maine Trees’ flagship selection, and it’s essentially Maine’s winningest strain from Maine’s winningest brand.
