Blood Orange - Papermill Cannabis Co
Blood Orange is Cali Orange x Appalachia, and the Appalachia being a Chem hybrid makes a huge difference. The nose is a stinky orange gas, which hits perfectly on the palate and translates to stimulation that’s more like orange juice than coffee in the morning.
Dubble Sour - Terp Chaser 420
A lot of very good flower passes through my docket, but when something truly spectacular comes around, that’s when this job gets exciting. Dubble Sour from Terp Chaser is the first thing I’ve tried in 2025 that has truly impressed me outright, even with the astronomical expectations I had about this sample.
Motorbreath #15- Only Smoke the Finest
Motorbreath, specifically Motorbreath #15, is another Jungle Boys genetic that’s become a Maine staple. Past the glistening resin and the dense nug, you have a strain that reeks up the whole house. Motorbreath is without a doubt one of the raunchiest and gassiest strains you can find, and this sample of that is textbook for why it’s become so popular.
Secret Cookies - Only Smoke the Finest
Secret Cookies has remained remarkably consistent for finally flying the Firefly coop, but this version that’s made it down to the OSTF menu is elite. It’s a great example of one of my favorite strains, so it’s an easy recommendation from me.
Berry Blossom - Hash Kitty
I chose Berry Blossom because it smelled pretty clearly of Z notes, and in my opinion Z rosin has the highest quality ceiling. The rosin arrived pretty saucy, which I would knock for just about any other strain, but is par for the course in the Z part of the gene pool. If you had Super Dope Brand’s rosin in 2022 and 2023, this flavor reminds me of Mega Z Blue or Mega Z Red.
Rainbow Belts 1.0 - Skunkfoot Farms
A lot of hardcore enthusiasts don’t really like Rainbow Belts because they feel it’s a watered down version of Zkittlez, and while I don’t agree, I understand where that idea comes from. While Rainbow Belts 3.0 is much more limey in flavor, the original Rainbow Belts 1.0 leans much more on the fruity notes of the Z as well as the bright gas from the Do Si Dos to make something that in my opinion is comparable to Z but with some extra quality of life updates that make it easier to grow and be less likely to look ugly in the bag.
The Original Z - Doja
Another massive improvement over previous attempts from the Doja crew, this Original Z is a great rendition of Zkittlez that I would recommend even among Doja’s crazy lineup
Shadow Banned - Shiva’s Stash/YMP
Shiva’s Stash has been dropping banger after banger on the Shmu menu since 2023 when we first got Aparigraha.
Gelonade - Doja
Overall, this was a massive improvement since the last time I tried this strain and it’s a ganuine banger, therefore it’s an easy recommendation from me.
Gelonade - Sour Wavez
An intersection of two things that have been on my bucket list for a while, getting Sour Wavez hash in the stash and trying Gelonade as rosin, this product is a huge treat before even opening the jar, so major shout out to LeFlame for making that happen for me.
D-Lish - Doja
I tried Fun Dip about nine months ago from Fear of Boof in Michigan and was genuinely impressed with how well they did it, but now trying D-Lish the experience is really flipped on its head D-Lish is a hybrid of Z x Sweet Retreat where now the Sweet Retreat pollinated the Z. The flavors and effects are recombobulated in this configuration of the hybrid.
Pink Lemonade - Skunkfoot Farms
This batch of Pink Lemonade is nothing short of incredible. It’s fresh, perfectly trimmed, and the resin really glistens on the nug.
Diesel Delight - Firefly Organics
Over the years I’ve never really been disappointed by anything I’ve smoked from Firefly and that doesn’t start now. Diesel Delight, which is their Bio Diesel x GSC and beyond my personal affinity for Terps like this, the offering is very strong.
Ravenite x Georgia Pie/Z - Gotti
Past offerings have been “good for [blank]” but this one is just really good.
Caramel Pipsi blend - Hiker Trash
A blend of a bunch of sour gassy flavors that makes a very saucy mix.
Peach Tree - Doja
Regardless of media and under what light rays these were grown, Peach Tree smokes great. It’s super fresh and smooth on inhale and the flavor is super distinctive. This strain is also incredibly potent getting me properly stoned after my second chamber fill and giving me tunnel vision after the third.
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.
Diesel Dynamo - Papermill Cannabis Co
Juicy Cubez has been on my bucket list for a while because Z Cube is a personal favorite, and this flavor did not disappoint. Being a hybrid of Red Piegasm x Z Cube, it has that sickly sweet confectionary note over the greasy Z notes, which made for an expression that smelled a lot like Juicy Fruit gum.
Zazul x ZAnimal - Dank Syndicate
Out of all the producers in the Bay Area, Dank Syndicate is the one I’ve most frequently been eager to try. I previously got to try their RS11 and I thought it smoked proper, so when GSL Bill hit me with a mystery bag of Dank, I was nothing short of hyped.
