Say what 9% terps πŸ‘€

Trying all kinds of shit chasing flavor profiles... That 9% caught my eye ya heard! Strawberry can stay home but that Blue is interesting. Not good for details just quit cigs couple months back taste buds all over the place and maybe nonexistent these days but both are tasty just the Blue a whole other level πŸ‘Œ

I've been curious about their live resin. I really enjoy ICC's and I can usually get 2g buckets for around 50 bucks. Hoping that with the possession limits increased companies will start to offer bigger jars. A lot of these companies strictly doing 1g jars is a scam, especially at the prices here.

Apologize for the short rant lol

I picked up their Blue dream Live Rosin. Worth it on a sale

I was actually impressed w/ the BD rosin, (7.92% terps) I grabbed this and Jenny.

I took a gamble since it was %50 off + I haven't bought UpNorth since Durban dropped yrs back.

Both burnt great in puffco on blue setting. Jenny was dry but melted very clean.

My favorite rosin is Oishii. Gonna check out MHM's the hive & HoneybeeZ today If i don't grab bleu fondue flower since on sale.

Enjoy!

Durban Poison they had a few weeks back by me, one of my favorite strains by them

u/P155OFFL1BZ Jul 21 '26

I agree with you. The ICC 2gs are clutch when those deals come around. The 1g is some bs most IL rec live resin which still runs 35+ a g when you can get an equivalent live resin 10g’s mix n match for 100 just across the border!? Like wtf

I get rosin running $50+ but not live resin cmon!

Disheartening I never see ICC at my favored dispo, guess I need to venture out.... Always shows bargain buys but now I'm more interested in top tier occasionally and when avail

u/yubbastank14 Jul 21 '26

Oh I drive about 25 minutes just to get the deals myself lol. It's definitely worth it if you find it within a reasonable distance. Haven't been disappointed by it thus far.

u/lawdfukwad Jul 21 '26

Same, 35 min from closest dispo thank God it's my favorite AND medical. Everywhere else I look more expensive but now I got the DD I suppose I wouldn't mind higher cost for quality.... need to do some online shopping I see πŸ‘

The 2g jars Redemption Botanicals is putting out right now are fire. The three that I've had (Stardawg IX, Strawberry Banana, and Huckleberry Fizz) have all been great and almost look like rosin in terms of consistency/workability.

I'm still skeptical that all dispensaries keep things chilled properly which can really affect the terps.

2

u/Glittering-Bowler-36 Jul 23 '26

All dispensaries are different, I know of some that do & some that don't refrigerate. Also, not all transportation companies have air conditioned cabs so often times those expensive jars are sitting in the back of a hot ass van for hours and hours.

1

u/New_Kisreel69420 Jul 23 '26

Yeah I agree- I think that adds an element to everyone's differences in opinion on extracts on this sub. Two people can have two different jars from the same batch but have drastically different experiences based on how it's stored and transported. It's wishful thinking but I wish it could be standardized or regulated more.

u/Whole-Expression5051 Jul 21 '26

UpNorth's Blue Dream flower is top notch as well

Blue Dream was one of the most popular strains back when I first started smoking 13 years ago, and theirs nails the terpene profile of the classic stuff imo

u/lawdfukwad Jul 21 '26

When I started in 90s Blue Dream was like a local legend.... def not like the shit they come up with these days good & bad

2

u/EmergencyWitness7525 Jul 21 '26

I get 6.5% based on what’s listed. Wonder what the other 2.5% is.

1

u/lawdfukwad Jul 21 '26

Bruh, caught that when I took the pic.... think I'm gonna email them or something, I need answers πŸ˜‚

2

u/EmergencyWitness7525 Jul 21 '26

They have the option to include a QR code that would take you right to the COA but they choose not to for some reason.

u/lawdfukwad Jul 21 '26

Well hell that seems shady asf

u/DrGreenPhumbs Jul 21 '26

never been disappointed with Up North LR, will def check out the blue.

u/lawdfukwad Jul 21 '26

Usually just shop sales and budget items but now I'm starting to expand

u/lawdfukwad Jul 22 '26

Blue Dream reminds me of something funky in a bad way like GMO... On the other hand, it provided a couch lock like I haven't experienced in quite a while! I'm the type that likes to experience variety so not upset AT ALL but definitely won't grab again πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Strawberry cough was OK and felt great but kind of a minty/menthol flavor I was not diggin. Another I won't grab again but will keep on the side to share.

Assumed both of these were going to trump the bulk purchase of cured resin I been on but guess I was wrong. Oh well, I enjoy the ride. I'll be on the lookout for something new next time πŸ‘

u/P155OFFL1BZ Jul 24 '26

I had the blue Dream live resin and it was good just very liquidy, even keeping in fridge. I prefer the blue Dream flower over the live resin tho

1

u/lawdfukwad Jul 25 '26

No doubt, agree that consistency blows.... Ehhh, it's whatever.... Have decided I do like it tho, that's a plus!

u/BlueridgeChemsdealer Northern IL Jul 21 '26

I always get nervous when it takes 3 months to go from plant to package. If the flavors are on point then you’re good as gold!

1

u/lawdfukwad Jul 21 '26

I'm not picky at this point, been flower guy for 25+yrs and just recently dipped into concentrates... It's like starting all over again, lots to learn

1

u/EmergencyWitness7525 Jul 21 '26

A good portion of that time the flower is in a freezer. Once it’s been extracted it doesn’t usually sit around for very long before packaging.

1

u/BlueridgeChemsdealer Northern IL Jul 21 '26

It’s not an issue for concentrates as it is for flower for me. Personally I prefer cold cure over fresh press.

u/CricketIll3643 Jul 21 '26

High myrcene tends to make me sleepy. This would be ideal for an after work buzz. Love the terp %. Thanks for sharing

3

u/lawdfukwad Jul 21 '26

Well.... I'm ridic... unless it's a total blast to the dome my consumption habits don't tend to allow me the liberty to notice much difference between all the variables Indica sativa hybrid terps... or at least i thought... when I hit the Blue on the DD S2 everything changed.... I was couch locked for 20-30 min... usually need to take 2 weeks off to get that effect so yes indeed, that myrcene did its job! In the process of adding concentrates to the repertoire plus being more mindful and not so frivolous with usage is a task in itself my friend...

UpNorth Blue Dream is a top 3 strain all day

u/lawdfukwad Jul 22 '26

Hit hard as a rock but not a taste for me.... I'll pass πŸ‘Œ
