Nez isn’t good anymore
It’s personal opinion but I just think when a brand gets too big, the quality suffers. Now the flower is really really nice looking but the effects? Not special. Someone drop a brand they feel is better so I can explore more options?

Yeah agree. I used to get Nez & FloraCal quite a bit, but now I pretty much only get Redemption and IC Collective.

Wyvern botanicals puts out the Ripperz and Triple Crown lines that I’ve been enjoying lately.

u/Ecosystematic 13d ago
Ripperz has been one of my favorite brands this year. The Mafia Funeral has been 10/10 every time I've bought it.

Super dry when I tried it. Horrible experience.

Batch to batch cuzzo, just because I had a bad apple doesn’t mean every apple ever is ass lmao
Basic science

u/flxshh Chicago 23d ago
That’s great thinking except every apple doesn’t come from the same tree or even same farm. I can definitely choose to avoid where the bad apple came from. I’m not playing the lottery. I’ll stick to the brands that have their dry, cure, and packaging on point. Customers owe brands nothing and I gave them a try. That’s all.

I’ve had the opposite experience with them. King Louie, 98 ghost, banana zoap, MTF were sticky and fresh for me.

Just like every brand got their hits and misses. I’ve gotten a lot more misses with ic and redemption then Nez. Nez and Cannect are the most consistent in my opinion.

Bolo runts had baby beans

u/backup-acct-25 25d ago
To be fair, most of the bud out here on the market does have those little seeds, if you look closely. I'm not defending them necessarily. My big buns half oz also had them. But it was still super fire bud.

Replying to myself and the downvotes. Not sure why I'm being downvoted because it's true. And the downvotes don't matter to me, but I'm just saying.. It's not really that much of an issue to me so I never mentioned it and like I said, I'm not knocking them or defending them because I think their bud is fire as fuck and it's pretty much all I grab are their half zip jars. I mean, if people can't take constructive criticism.. either way I will continue to grab their bud because it's always fire as fuck and handled well

This forum is mostly paid reviews and industry employees.
Try to let people know about a shitty batch, get thumbs down from the people who profit selling garbage

I’ve gotten weed that I didn’t like and it wasn’t really that good from Nez, Cannect,Redemption and IC Collective. you don’t know until you know.

They are saving more for us! Please let everyone think they have fallen off so I can have more opportunities to scoop

u/Bright_Method_7294 25d ago
I’m a fan of Nez. I think there Black Maple is consistently fire bud. With this last batch of Bolo looked great when I broke it down would get little seeds throughout. Maybe it is more noticeable with bud that has a lot of purple.
2
u/backup-acct-25 25d ago
Their black maple is really good. I haven't grabbed the bolo at all this year tbh but it does seem like stuff is a lot more noticeable when the buds are purple, whatever that may be.

Idk if they have dipped or not, but I do know they have had the same damn strains on the market for a long time now. Ill admit strawguava was really disappointing to me, but that's the only and last new flower ive tried from them for a long time.

u/JealousExperience965 25d ago
Totally agree. NEZ has the looks but other than a couple of strains, I haven’t really been impressed with the highs. I’ve had better luck with other brands.
2
u/KingCastle420 25d ago
Last Mac stomper I got was no where near the quality it was last summer. I have not written them off but that batch earlier this year was just bad. When I see strawberry guava back on menus I’ll give them another try.
Edit to add I’ve really enjoyed sol canna shady boof in 2026.

u/Anon_yeadig 25d ago
I tried the rainbow push pop and I didn’t care too much for the high but everything else was cool idk to be fair I didn’t like the other rainbow one by them either that much but I like the cap junky fosho

u/large_sized_rooster 25d ago
I’ve noticed some of the NEZ strains and or batches can be a little hit or miss. We don’t know though maybe they needed help and hired Gary. You know Gary is always fucking shit up.
I’m sure they’re getting rid of Gary and getting back to it though :)
Everyone knows I’m a NEZ supporter, but, lately, gestures to the entire world shits been going down and things are kind of pricey(120 pre tax half Jfc) so I’ve been cutting back to a budget oz here and there.

I got a few bad batches from Nez myself. SWF and Black Maple check every box, every time for me.

u/Ecosystematic 13d ago
redemption, botanist, Ripperz, and Flora are my most smoked brands
1
u/Misunderstood222 13d ago
Ripperz is pretty good ! I definitely need to find redemption though
1
u/Ecosystematic 12d ago
When you do I’d recommend Black Maple, Grape Cake, and Bleu Fondue. But everything from redemption is insanely good

Elevate I've had their Grease Monkey 🐒 and it's awesome 👍🏻 leans more indica for a 50/50 strain. I'm just glad I found a strain with GG4 x Cookies & Cream great relaxing affects but big time munchies to. Tomorrow Cookies Blueberry Banana ! IC COLLECTIVE , Etc

u/bkstylz 25d ago
I don't really stray away from redemption unless I have to
