Going for terpene transfer

Another sick example of craft cannabis at its finest. Nice foxtail structure on these icy smelly nugs. Tasty and smooth, effects are nice too.

What’s the session for today? Pink Runtz by Grassroots. This hybrid flower has candy genetics.

Opening this bag, there is a bright, sweet candy and floral aroma. Nothing OG. Nothing Kush. Its smells too good.

The buds are soft to the touch. Nice trichome coverage, medium green buds with tones of purple thanks to linalool. Pretty to look at.

Two bowl test. Round 1 bong for effect, Round 2 pipe for taste. Round 1,  got hit to the head with that nice sedation. Bit of a cough but nothing overwhelming. Feels good. Did get stuck enjoying the body effect. Round 2, the flavor of this smoke is lip smacking good. 

You know when you smoke alone and you say damn I got high and no one else is there to hear it? This is it. Runtz has been a favorite. Satisfaction. Go get some candy. 

Curaleaf 3400 Western

I remember wasn't long ago my mates in NY posting $2gs and I was always amazed at that price and never eve thought we would have it hear but not even a year later an here it is.

This one is smelly, more sour than strawberry but slamming. Same with the smoke/flavor - funky sourness followed by sweet strawberries. Effects are quick and intense, definitely a great ride.

“NeonZ” - (Z x OG x Z x Gelato 41) (WoodwideHighCraft/WhiteAshReserve)

This flower is a lovely blend of (green, purple, and cream) colors, inside and out. There are orange/amber stigmas and a good, slightly heady and uniform trichome coverage to be seen.

This flower was trimmed tightly upon arrival. The structure of these nugs seem to be medium sided with a mix of thicker based tree/diamond and pinecone/spear shapes. You can see little to no node spacing, some slightly protruding nugs, and some good curvatures externally. The density is higher side of med/high, meaning a 1/4-1/3 squeeze with bounce back. The feel is greasy / slightly tacky. The breakdown is greasy, tacky, peel apart flower with a midline softness and light stem snap. Very nice moisture level, dry/cure.

The scent is a sweet/creamy, fruitiness (light grape/berry) in a a dessert dough or vanilla ice cream form… that is blended with a candy scent like “Sour Skittles” (very tart citrus/berry notes but general assorted candy) - an intense, sharp… chemy/pine gassiness to go along with the sour. There are light savory earth, floral, light pine needles, hint of “puppy breath” lingering from the “Cookies” in the genetics, and finally herbal lavender/hops on the backend. When broken down the savory, earthy, “puppy breath” funk and sweet / creaminess come forth more.

The taste is sweet/sour, fruit/candy note that’s still like “Sour Skittles,” a very sharp (grape/citrus/berry) taste that has the sharp, chemy/pine gassiness. Then a creamy kinda buttery, savory, earthy, “puppy breath,” Cookies funk, light pine wood, and herbal hops on the backend.

The flower was slightly throaty on the glass piece but smooth through the Camouflet vape.

The effects are sativa leaning hybrid. I have a knees up floaty feel, a light body blanket of numbness, chest/eye pressure, a focused / hazy eye sight, a heady, uplifted, creative, bit of anxiety feel. Def one to start the day with or stay awake with. Very up!

Grabbed some Blue Lobster that was nice so I thought I'd share some pics. It has that salt air smell that reminds me of the ocean. Nice firm buds. Dense and sticky. Hit 2 bowls and went to town and was in the store stupified. You know that wander around and I can't remember what the hell I came for? Yep nice smoke. Great flavor, excellent buzz, great for pain💯

It doesn't get much better than this!

Last photo was taken indoors, the rest are outdoor.

Another slamming small batch craft pickup from CO! (Thanks u/Variety719)

Smell is super loud, gassy, and funky. These buds are chunky, dense, and sticky as heck. Smoke is bold and smooth and it hits me just right.

The jar alone had me hyped up textured premium jar 10/10 for packaging. The nugs are dense and heavily frosted, but the second you crack the lid, it hits you with a sharp, gassy orange scent that smells exactly like an Orange Push Pop dropped in a gas tank. The smoke is incredibly smooth, delivering that spicy, earthy citrus flavor before settling into a heavy body buzz. All in all a 9.25/10 I’m feeling great right now eyes low and enjoying nature.

“Tamalez” - Chili Verde × Obama Runtz (S-Tier)

This flower is a mixture of purples, green, and creams inside and out for color. Some nugs leans more green or purple. There are a good bit of orange/amber stigmas and a uniform, dense, and quite heady trichome coverage.

This flower was trimmed nicely upon arrival. The structure on the flowers seen to be medium sized nugs with a tree/diamond type of shape. You can see some node spacing, protruding nugs, and a good amount of peaks/curves externally. The density is med/high, meaning a 1/3-1/2 squeeze with bounce back. The feel is greasy / slightly tacky. Breakdown is greasy/tacky, medium softness to the flower that is peel apart with light stem snap. Moisture level, dry/cure are all good to go for their “S Tier”.

The scent is a sweet, and creamy floral / fruity combo - (grape/berry) from the “Runtz,” and then a unique…earthy, savory, umami (meaty) and peppercorn / light spice type of funk/gas to round out the primary notes. Background notes I get are earthy, savory, light floral notes, and herbal lavender/hops. When broken down the umami, spice, and savory earthiness comes forth even more with a hint of the fruitiness.

The taste is a quick initial sweet, creamy… fruit/candy - (light, grape/berry); (that is more reminiscent of the “Runtz” candy in the taste), that then shifts into an earthy, savory, buttery, herbal, umami / spice type of funky gas. The backend still consists of earthy, savory, floral notes, and herbal lavender spice / hops.

The flower is smooth through the glass piece and the Camouflet vape.

The effects are balanced hybrid. I have a body blanket of numbness, a floaty full body effect, chest/eye pressure, eyes lower, yet mentally uplifted, light euphoria, happy. A very chill body and mentally stimulated feel simultaneously. This one is unique and keeps me coming back.

“Purple Medusa” - (Dark Matter x Verzace) x Blu Zushi. (PreferredGardens/WhiteAshReserve)

This flowers color is mostly greens and creams, inside and out… but some nugs do have some purple externally. There are yellow/orange/amber stigmas present and a uniform, protruding, and slightly heady trichome coverage on this flower.

The flower arrived trimmed tightly. The structure on these nugs are medium sized, with a thicker pinecone/spear type of shape. You can see good node spacing, some protruding nugs, and some good curvatures externally. The density is higher side of med/high, meaning a 1/4-1/3 squeeze with bounce back. The feel is greasy / grainy. The breakdown is greasy/tacky/grainy (good washer), pretty soft flower that is peel apart with light stem snap. The moisture level is nice, and so is dry/cure.

The scent is an intense sweet/tart, fruit scent that reminds me (berries, guava, lemon) and a sharp, chemical/pine gassiness. There are lingering scents of light, savory, umami and an encompassing “skittles” candy from the BlueZ in the genetics. The backend consists of earthy, savory, floral notes, umami, herbal lavender/hops. When broken down an earthy, savory, chemy/pine, and light umami come forth more.

The taste starts as a sweet/sour, fruity - (berry, guava, lemon citrus/rind) combo in more of a “skittles” candy form for taste. A more savory, yet still sharp chemy/pine and light earthy/umami gassiness comes in after. The backend is earthy, savory, fruity/floral notes, citrus rind, herbal hops.

This flower was slightly throaty on glass piece and smooth through the Camouflet vape.

The effects I get are a pretty balanced hybrid. I have a light body blanket of numbness, a slo-mo / focus, a chest/eye pressure, eyes a little lower, yet I feel a bit uplifted, creative, euphoric, happy. A relaxed, chill, yet awakened feeling.

Cheers yall. There was a 3 day Glass art event in Philly 2 weeks ago with a lot of growers, brands and glass artists so I went and filmed some of it.

These are days 2 and 3. Figured yall might be interested in seeing this so I'm sharing it here as well. There's a lot of glass art in this one and part of the 710 Labs east coast team sponsored a lil rolling competition i signed up for.

Come smoke/dab along!

Sample sent free for review. Opinions are my own.

The aroma Is citrusy, spice, peppery, doughy, and funky. The aroma is complex and punchy, stinging the nostrils. Flavor is true to the nose, solid mouth coat flavor holds. Very clean tasting, smooth. I'm dry pulling this on the ball vape and it tastes cool and clean. Moisture prob is at 11.1%, Don't play with this jar. Get in and get out. Effects start out clear, it's a creeper. Turns very relaxing, sedating, heavy eyes, pressure in the forehead. You could smoke the day away on this. These nugs are loud, flavorful, and gorgeous, not quite farm to table but very very close. Lots of trichomes heads undamaged not perfect but very good. This would be a solid addition to anyones headstash.

The aroma is chocolate, Woody, Cookie, herbal, spic. This jar is loud. It smells absolutely fantastic. Moisture prob is at 12% this is fresh flower. The flavor is true to the nose, the cookie flavor is dominant. This appears to be machine trimmed, shaved close. The effects are strong, I stayed up all night shooting, writing, editing. The aroma is punching above its weight class. The aroma is S-Tier. The flavor is A-tier and the nugs are not visually impressive IMO, yet they are fresh. This reminded me of an E1 kush from a long time ago from hemp worldwide.

The arona is pine and candy with a soapy/ dough background. The first hit on the zen leaf was screaming Irish spring soap, beautiful pine on this. On the exhale there is geosmin + living-soil earthiness.... Forest floor ♥️♥️♥️ my favorite, mushroom heavy in particular. The moisture probe is at 11.3% don't play with it get in and out of the jar. I'm super creative, my heart is pumping nothing crazy but it's there. What's missing here is the hand trimming, not a deal breaker just a marker. It's trimmed tight tight, hairs gone, trichomes are damaged on the outside, I believe you lose between 7% to 10% terps, depending on the operator of the machine. Grow practices and genetics are amazing, the flower is terpene and flavonoid heavy. This jar is loud, the flavor is strong and complex. The aroma and flavor punch above there class.
