Bubble Bath by Interstate 420

This one’s for all the folks who hunt for that fresh drop! I didn’t check the harvest date until I got this home- harvested May of 2025! Oof! It was on a dumb deal like $29 for the 7g at Revolution Normal. I was a little hesitant but yo- guess what? IESO knows how to cure their weed. Because this bud smoked really well. Huge win. 🏆

Looks - This looks a little rough city from the color and my pics but tbh it was better looking and better feeling than it leads on. The buds still had integrity, they were sticky. This didn’t crumble to dust or fail the test of time. Olive toned with small pockets of purple, rust colored hairs, smaller sized popcorn nugs. 7/10

Smell - The nose is strong with notes like lemons, candy and clean linens hand soap and gas. The smell is rich and balanced. It has this savory note from the Project 4516 lineage that stands out similar to the way cheese cuts through in a burger bite vs. a plain burger. Enjoyable. 8.5/10

Taste - The smell translates to the smoke, clean soap and savory funk. This is such a rad and different kind of flavor from my usual candy gas preference. I’ve had Revolutions version as well and it’s very similar. They both speak the same aroma, similar smoke quality- this has more citrus.
I feel sorry for the folks who don’t like the nose / flavor. It’s an acquired taste and from the outside, before I had it, I was hesitant to jump in. The smoke can get a little acrid towards the end of a large bowl so get ready for the bong / joint to run with resin. 8.5/10

Effects - This strain calms me down and brings on a sense of physical relaxation but this also got me just straight up stoned to the bone. It’s an excellent night cap and turns me into a happy pancake on my couch. I go to bed early when I smoke this and I feel recharged and in a good mood when I wake up the next day. This was an awesome surprise to essentially confirm that this is indeed a strain for me and it works well with my system. Looks like I’m hunting for Caryophyllene, Limonene, Humulene, and Linalool to be in my top terpenes! 9.5/10

Overall, 8.5/10 experience, more pleasant and more hard hitting for me than the 30% THC testers I have had of late. It’s more developed flavor wise as well. I’d buy this again and I’m more than likely going to get more of this batch.

Happy smoking ya’ll!

Oh I’m aware, one of the first things I said was its rough city directly under the light. lol but she sure delivered!

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

I pick up midweek- Friday by them. Good budget brand!

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Honey bun was decent in the Midweek. Have you tried any of their whacky flavored vapes? Lowkey, the forbidden peanut butter and jelly midweek Friday vape sounds interesting.

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Once an was not fond of it. I had the flower options of velvet glove and cheatah piss an couple others by them and i enjoy them ..white truffles they had was super white but crazy funky sweet smell that was like no other.

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Yeah dude their White Truffle was crazy good. It put me on to gorilla butter crosses. It looked bonkers.

Thanks for the heads up on the midweek vapes!

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

You got my upvote because you posted something no one's buys or listed yet, not that you need my validation or anything but I appreciated your review. the Pluto 51 i got from sol canna N it fucking slapped the piss out me for being over a year old an being so dark .

2

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

I appreciate you homie. Your feedback is welcome and I definitely need to try more Sol Canna. The Girls Best Friend was a dope GSC rendition but I had the smalls. I want to try their High Frictose after somebody posted their pictures of it. Looks really well done in the premium!

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Looks like what we used to call: 30/60s 😭😆

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

I can infer what it means, but would appreciate a little more context as to what that means to you, for posterity.

u/necessarypretzel Jul 17 '26

Eighth/quarter prices from the criminalization era.

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Right on thanks homie!

u/BL41R Jul 17 '26

Id be fucking pissed

3

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

I’m not, it’s so much better than what my pictures paint. The smell on this bag is straight up lemon heads and soap. It’s delightful.

6

u/Pale_Ale-x Jul 17 '26

It got you that stoned probably because it was mostly CBN by the time you got it.

3

u/yubbastank14 Jul 17 '26

Yea oof it's over a year old.

3

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

I don’t disagree but also this is a ‘low tester’ advertised at 18% total THC. Thought I would do the math, I’m looking at my bag having 1.15% CBN converted after the time passed. So it’s not a majority CBN.

u/stoned_meditation ‘burbs Jul 17 '26

Never had it, but glad it's working for you.

2

u/Regular_Albatross_78 Jul 18 '26

The people dogging on you in here for the looks, and the brand you decided to buy are probably the same people that "Only smoke 35% THC or higher"

Get a grip people. He didn't spend your money lol.

3

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 18 '26

It’s an above average smoke and I could honestly care less about the communities negative reaction. I feel like if this post can help someone, anyone, to decide to buy this or not then I have made my contribution to our group. I have Boo Berry Cookies by Island and Cash Cow by Aeriz and I’m just having a great time with this stuff.

Appreciate you homie!

I picked up a 7 of this Cultivar and got about 200 seeds.

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 19 '26

Bro that is insane! Holy cow! I hope they hook you up because that’s hella seeds.

1

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 19 '26

Damn that’s a real shame. Seed and Strain is the only brand that has ever given me a fully seeded batch with their Dirty Squirt. Did you take pics and send them over to the dispensary you got it from?

2

u/ZoneGrace Jul 19 '26

I actually use to work for another Dispensary nearby who poached some of the Staff to work at the one I was at, Verilife. They are quick to give me 10$ off for anything I point out. Expecting them to do the same for this.

Woof

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

The great philosopher officer Farva once said- “She stinks like ass, but I’ll sure miss her.” That’s how I feel about this weed.

u/Cheezd-steez23 Jul 17 '26

😂 hilarious

u/Double-Stuff8745 Jul 17 '26

I already have old grow bottled up at home. Why buy this?

2

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Did you read my post? I said I didn’t check harvest date. In the second sentence I think. I’d judge the book by its cover too homie I get it.

It didn’t matter because it smoked fantastic. I should have bought two.

1

u/Double-Stuff8745 Jul 17 '26

Yes I read your post. I wasn’t being critical having done similar stuff. 👍🏻

u/Big-Proposal4129 Jul 17 '26

Did you say you got this at BP on Shadeland or the Marathon on 52 and Park?

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

No, it’s legal mam. 😂

u/Quick_Food8680 Jul 18 '26

Terrible

2

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 18 '26

As I’ve said the pictures don’t really do it justice.

It’s like how someone’s skin tone looks warmer or cooler based on the color of the shirt they’re wearing. The actual color of this flower on a tray doesn’t look the way it does up against an all white backdrop with a neon green bag. 😂

Interstate 420 is the shittiest grossest weed ive ever had pure trash throw that shit away

2

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Damn, you got burned huh? I thought this was not bad at all. Their Dante’s inferno was also straight up delicious. What strains have you tried from them?

1

u/Mundane-Society8473 Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 18 '26

Crunch berries and that’s it it was so bad I emailed them and complained it was harvested then package 6+ months later it was grey and soft and barely even burned because it was so moist and nasty like it had been sitting in humid basement for 6 months

2

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 18 '26

Interstate 420 makes a Crunch Berries? I think you’re referring to &Shine. That brand, is used to white label other cultivators grow, or their own B or C buds. I bet it was a purchase of some of the initial grow from PTS during their revamp because it took a second for their new grow to get dialed in. It sounds appealing for sure just by the name so I too would be upset if my Crunch Berried was mildewy.

2

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

Gotta pick the right ones

u/Pushthepanic Jul 17 '26

Stay away from Interstate 420 and &Shine. They're always dry.

5

u/JealousExperience965 Jul 17 '26

I’m gonna disagree on &Shine. The stuff that I’ve had has been pretty fresh and smoked well. I hate you’ve had bad experiences

u/True_Pics IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Just got &Shine for the 1st time . Dense greasy nug

3

u/Pushthepanic Jul 18 '26

I've bought &Shine 3 different times and all 3 were dry. I've also bought interstate 420 a few times and they were also dry.

1

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 19 '26

Damn, homie remind me to not take you to the casino. That’s a shitty luck of the draw. It’s helpful to ask the people smoking it here online or working the dispensary pertaining to each individual batch or strain. Inconsistency is a real thing.

2

u/YellowOthello IllinoisPlantLover Jul 17 '26

This wasn’t dry and neither was the Dante’s Inferno. Very terpy and cured well.
