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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Grape Gas - Shmu the Canna Prophet house curation
This version of Grape Gas as flower is one of the most pungent grape aromas that have ever crossed the olfactory. The nugs are frankly not that pretty, and the structure is quite foxtail-y and the resin is caked all over the place, but once you blend this down it’s reasonably fresh and the scent really erupts.
Seabiscuit - Gotti x Deep East Oakland
The last time I smoked Deep East was two or three years ago and I was not impressed due to how unclean the smoke was. So far, everything I’ve smoked from Gotti has been of great quality and super smooth smoke, and this is not exception.
Z Face - Archive Portland
I’ve been seeing some small drops of flower from Archive hit menus like Astor Club over the last year. I’ve smoked Z Face a few times in hash but trying it for the first time as flower I see why it’s gotten so much attention
T-Bone - The TenCo.
We’ve been hearing for years that TenCo. had an incredible cut of Headbanger and that they grow it immaculate. This is not one of their living soil batches – it’s grown in coco – but some say that the diesel strains do better in inert media and hydro.
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.
Grape Z - Checks All Boxes
I’ve been a big advocate for people taking cool flower and branding it so people will remember where they got it, and Checks All Boxes is the epitome of that. Checks All Boxes is a curation brand run by the same group that does K Press, so the same palate chooses which flavors get the branding. Grape Z is exactly the level of flavor saturation I would expect from this brand, and frankly it’s more potent than I would’ve expected too.
