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.
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.
Tickle Burger - Funk House Farm
I reviewed Tickle Burger last year, but considering how good the last two samples were and that the review has seemingly become lost media, I requested another review sample of the Tickle Burger so I could tell about it again.
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.
Pink Pony - Faraway Farmstead
Part of why I was excited about Pink Pony was for the Chappell Roan name, but after learning about the genetics I was hype to try another killer energizing strain that east coasters will love.
A Brief History of Runtz
Runtz really started in 2017, when according to Ray Bama, they transformed the gem they found from the facility to the top dog diamond with the brand as iconic as Tiffany’s, thanks to a bit of special help from Sticker Farmer. Once Yung LB and Ray Bama made it to the Emerald Cup with their Wonka flip design, Berner took the Runtz brand under his wing, the name became synonymous with “exotic” and the rest was history.
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.
Skywalker OG - Funk House Farm
Skywalker from Funk House is an excellent OG sample and very textbook for that genetic. I feel like there isn’t a whole lot to say about OG that hasn’t been said, but once you smoke it, you’ll probably sit down and shut up too.
Rainbow Sowahh- Flavor Farming
I’ve been really enjoying the strains Flavor Farming has been breeding with Sowah, and Rainbow Sowah is absolutely another banger. It’s a hybrid of RS11 x Sowahh, and while a lot of people debate over whether the Karma Sours are “real” Sour, I think this is still exactly what I envision for a cross of RS11 and Sour.
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.
Ruby Waves - Skunkfoot Farms
Ruby Waves has been on my radar for a minute since they told me about it at the ADHD Dead event in December. I really enjoyed their Gas Cap 11 when I tried it a couple of years ago on recommendation of JAH Apothecary, so hearing them cross that with Cherry Pie excited me a lot. Right off the bat, the nug reeks of explosive gas, which opens up even more on the blend.
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
Sunday Driver - Indoor Plant Kingdom (IPK)
Over the years I’ve pretty aggressively avoided Sunday Driver and after smoking this version from IPK, I definitely think that was a mistake. While being on this grape renaissance, this hybrid of Grape Pie x Fruity Pebbles OG has really struck a chord.
DOUBLE FEATURE - Flavor Farming II
Two more excellent additions to the Flavor Farming tier 2 lineup
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.
Molotov Skunktail #16 - Weaving Genetics
By all accounts this is not a strain I should like, but ever since smoking Skunktail the first time a few years ago I’ve been hooked. The experience reminds me of getting a sugar rush from orange juice in the morning when I was a kid, and while I normally don’t smoke the intensely cerebral buzzy strains, Skunktail is irresistible.
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.
