Blue Zangria - Tread Lightly Collective
Tread has been growing some really interesting work in the DMV but so far the most intriguing has been the Blue Zangria, which I’ve been following intently since he popped the seeds. The strain is a hybrid of Rainbow Zangria x Blue Lobster released by Cipher Genetics in collaboration with Maine Trees.
Mumbo Zauce - Heads of State
This is a pretty peculiar review because I’m covering a product from my own grow, but I put a poll on Instagram asking if I should cover my own flowers, and got an overwhelmingly positive response, so I decided to indulge and give it a write up. For those who’ve missed my posting flurry about this strain over the last few months, Mumbo Zauce is a strain I bred by crossing a selection of Highway Runtz, a “white Runtz” bagseed, with pollen from a Gonzo male, Gonzo being GMO x OZK from Bay Area Seed Co.
Apples & Bananas x Zoap - Topshelf Network
Apple Banana Zoap was originally released as seeds by LIT Farms. In 2025, both of these genetics are out of vogue, but Top Shelf Network certainly found a great selection of this hybrid for their operation. It’s got a bit of the Flintstones’ vitamin terp you’re used to from Apples & Bananas but there’s also a good bit of Tide Pod and sherb bite in the flavor as well.
UK Cheese - High Seas 207
I’ve been seeing murmurs that UK cheese was making a comeback and frankly I kind of wrote those rumors off as being overblown. But with TenCo coming out with Cheesebanger and Elm Cultivation running a whole line of Cheese hybrids, I decided to tune into the Cheese channel and was given this sample of UK Cheese from High Seas 207.
MurdaBand - Misty’s Melts
Of all the things I’ve been hype to smoke so far this year, MurdaBand is at the top of my list, or at least it was until I tried it. MurdaBand is a hybrid of MattaBand x Sowahh bred by Flavor Farming and has been blown up by everyone in the Flavor Farming squad, including this prime spec rosin from Misty’s Melts. Ever since I smelled the flower for the first time in December, I was in love with the way it burned my nostrils, which is what I appreciate from any Sour line strain.
Acapulco Gold - Dungeon Valley Farm
Let’s not beat around the bush here, Dungeon Valley’s Acapulco Gold is not the hue you’d expect from very good rosin, but I want to ask readers to suspend their disbelief to the level of the plot of basically any film where Dolph Lundgren is cast. Immediately when you open the jar, you’re met with stinky lime rinds, allspice and pine in a way that keeps up with today’s bleeding edge hash genetics.
Maple Dunks - Dungeon Valley Farm
Dungeon Valley was gracious enough to let me sample another couple of grams of his hash, starting with Maple Dunks. This strain is one of Bloom hybrids, so naturally it hashes the way you’d expect. It’s a hybrid of Gary Payton x Black Maple and right off rip you notice ripe gassy grape coming off the gooey blonde dollop.
Papusas - Gobshop
I think part of why I love this strain so much is because it reminds me a lot of the Fletcher’s Cove I grew, and the quality reflects that of a careful cultivator. The flavor is savory sweet gas with a lingering halitosis and it’s for sure the kind of flavor that I would want to smoke too much of.
Humboldt Dream - Gobshop
Another flavor I absolutely did not expect to favor, Humboldt Dream by Humboldt Seed Co. is a fruity twist on the classic Blue Dream.
Banana Runtz - Gobshop
If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that I’ve reviewed a lot of candy, and not a single sample has ever looked or smelled like this. Part of this has to do with the average LCG being grown in massive mega facilities where east nug is handled by nine guys burgers and fries. Most of it has to do with Gobs’ exceptional care for his plants.
Jelly Mochi- Dungeon Valley Farm
Dungeon Valley and I met online where I recognized the Rainbow House gear he was running, and he especially recommended the Hella Jelly line for the specific selection having a proper fruity floral flavor to them, compared to the pas versions being like of Great Value cough medicine with a tinge of basic gas.
Grape Soft Serve - Crab Collective
If you’ve been reading my hash reviews for a little while, you’ve read that I enjoy crab’s flavors a lot but also really enjoy the Little Lake Valley Seed Co flavors of which I’ve tried a handful in the last year. Out of the bunch, Grape Soft Serve is far and away the most flavorful and in my opinion uniquely flavorful and this is also one of my favorite offerings from Crab as well.
Sour Melon - Misty’s Melts
If your hash were this good, you would name your brand after a Gym Leader too
Dessert Wine - Serp & Terp
Serp has a palate to be reckoned with. In basically every instance I’ve seen him, he’s smoking a hash hole with a cornucopia of high end flavors that layer like Shrek. It was no surprise that one of his own projects would reflect his preferences and standards, but Dessert Wine is truly something else.
