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.
Pie Dough - Terpy Dabber house rosin Tier 1
I always love trying stores’ house tiers and house brands, but Terpy Dabber’s house rosin brand has always been surprisingly fire. Like I’ve said before, buying that multi-jar rate is the best way to get value with these flavors, but there’s a good chance you’re going to be smoking them fast enough to need them.
Sour Taffy - 710 Labs (CO)
Last time we covered a jar of 710 Labs Persy Badder, and thanks to Richi at the Highway, I was also able to get a sample of Colorado rosin to compare it to. 710 Labs has sort of a different load out in California than they do in Colorado, but when Richi showed off the Sour Taffy in the selection I knew I had to get some because the ABF Genetics and Symbiotic Genetics collab of Sour Sam x Gassy Taffy was just too hype to pass up.
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.
Papaya - Trichomies
I’ve gone on record a bunch of times as kind of a Papaya hater, but even for me there are some samples of it that are just undeniable. I think it’s more common to see people hating on GMO the way I dislike Papaya, and the biggest reason I don’t like it is because the effect is either too sedative or too racy for me.
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.
Zangria x Gelonade - Trichomies
I got to try the Zangria x Gelonade hybrid the first time about a year and a half ago as Fruit Stand from B’s Trees, but this is the first time I’ve gotten to try it as rosin thanks to Beast Coast Terps out of Queens. I’ve always appreciated that this hybrid had killer potency and a complex effects and together with a killer lemon grease flavor makes for something that ought to be center ring for a while.
Cranberry Z - Michelin Terps
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.
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.
Z From the Vault - Helios Hash x ADHDDEAD
ADHDDEAD usually tees up some hype collaborations for his events, but maybe the most impressive one to date both in spectacle and quality is Z From the Vault with Helios Hash. What’s outside the jar from Justin Lovato and myself is barely a preview of how sick the rosin on the inside is
Biscotti Chunks - Terpy Dabber house rosin Tier 1
Terpy hooked it up with some of the new house rosin he’s carrying to get a bit of feedback, and I’m happy to report that it’s very good. I got to try Biscotti Chunks, which ended up being some grape terps that really hit the spot. It’s a Cannarado jawn, this time Biscotti Sundae x Fatso and it’s mostly grape candy and funk.
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.
Tropaya - Flavor Farming
The flavor is much more “trop” than “paya,” which personally I prefer but others might prefer more sharp funk off the nose. Like everything else off Shmu’s selection of Flavor Farming samples, this stuff smokes smooth and clean, which is appreciate for rosin at this price point. The hallmark of this sample though is the effects which are super slumpy and full bodied.
Struckleburst - Upward Organics
I’ve only gotten to try Upward Organics a few times, but every time I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the experience and specifically the flavor. The smoothness has been great, the luster is incredible and it’s safe to say they’re in the upper echelon of sungrown producers on the east coast
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.
Tropikarma - Flavor Farming
When you hear Trop most of the time, you think bright citrus terps, but this one is much more of a mild blood orange with notes of cherry and a lot of fuel. The effect is also refreshing, relaxing and reminds me of the way a frozen drink and a warm breeze feels.
DOUBLE FEATURE - Flavor Farming II
Two more excellent additions to the Flavor Farming tier 2 lineup
Sour Rainbowz - Tuna Melts 710
Maywood made some big waves a couple of years ago with Pomelo Anderson from their house brand Fioré, and they remain putting out products that actually give Cookies a good reputation. Sour Rainbowz is one of the six available from their most recent drop, and after trying it I could definitely see this brand becoming more popular in the Cali METRC scene.
Strawberry Punch #2 - Fresh Squeeze x Symbiotic Genetics
This jar also excited me quite a bit when I saw it when it debuted at the end of last year part because of the bisexual lighting motif on the label but also because Symbiotic has created some legendary strains including Mimosa. This seems to be a hybrid with their Purple Punch F2 x Strawguava, and the hybrid makes for a formidable smoke.
