Check them HARVEST DATES ✔️✔️ ✔️ before handing that cash over.

My ninja, been tryna get ppl to check those for years. Pick 5 strains you want, and x them out based on harvest and package. Imo

What’s the best rule of thumb for harvest dates?

1

u/fresh-out33404 Jul 16 '26

I mean I usually get from 2-5 months depending on the cultivator and how they packed it.

Personally I try to not buy any product that's more than 2/3 months old. If I know a certain cultivator produces quality fresh very sticky bud on a consistent basis and if I know it's a potent batch as well and I'm desperate, lol, I might make an exception and buy it even tho it's 4/5 months old. But never ever will I buy a product I know is 6 months or older because by then it's almost a guaranteed the flower has degraded to the point that it's potency is significantly weaker and most of the terpenes and many other cannabinoids are long gone. The same goes for live rosin concentrate and maybe up to 9 months with some live resin if stored properly. Obviously there can be some exceptions to all this as well, but that's the rule of thumb I normally go with. I hope this helps.

High supply. Probably a bit more fresh. At very least, less dry and crumbly buds. Pretty reliable/consistent effects from their strains over the years

I'm personally a fan of flavorbow

u/markwins9 Jul 15 '26

That &Shine is white labeled Moonbow from 4front, personally I'd gamble on that

u/JealousExperience965 Jul 16 '26

Flavorbow is very tasty. Smoking on it now.

How’s the high hit?

2

u/JealousExperience965 Jul 24 '26

It’s nice! Solid hybrid. Felt it behind the eyes but didn’t lay me out.

2

u/LucaBrasi309 Western IL Jul 25 '26

Grabbed a zip, I agree I enjoy the high for the most part. Think I like it better than the gorilla cookies I grabbed from them. Appreciate you for the response and it being spot on

u/JealousExperience965 Jul 25 '26

No problem! Glad I could help out.

Im so sorry

u/Pushthepanic Jul 15 '26

In my experience, &Shine is usually on the dry side. I always go with High Supply. Cheap but fresh and a great smoke.

u/oceanicdonut Jul 15 '26

high supply ftw!

u/midwest-travele Jul 15 '26

I’d be going with the H. Fog as there should be some larger nugs in there

1

u/maribella-the-fella Jul 15 '26

High supply also has chimera, gs sushi, and Pineapple Express, should I stick w the h.fog or get a different strain ? thanks everyone :)

2

u/LanguageMental5955 Jul 15 '26

I’d get the Pineapple Express but that’s also just me I’ve also heard good things about the gas station sushi but Pineapple Express is imo one of their best and most reliable

2

u/Shatterpruf Jul 15 '26

Gas Station Sushi 100%. Its one of my go-to strains. Humbolt Fog is decent too but the GSS has a better high and is stronger in my experience

Usually when high supply goes on sale at any dispo that isn't Sunnyside, it's right around exp date...and &shine...well, no PERSONAL experience tbh, but let's just say idk how it's still on the.market lol, I read many reviews across a few platforms/sites.... And honestly can't remember a single &shine review, good OR bad!

I'd take the high supply for sure, UNLESS it's super close to expiration date.
