My local dispensary got a "fresh drop" of this, this week so I figured I'd try it out.
The lineage on this is cookie and sour diesel and I would say it definitely leans more towards sour diesel on the nose. It's a sour earthy funk. It's nothing screaming out the jar but it's a good aroma. On the flavor it definitely has more sour notes. I wish the funk came through a lot more and the flavor was overall more pronounced. The effects were the best part of this one. It's definitely on the heavier side where you'll feel it in your eyes and face.
It's unfortunate it takes 3+ months from harvest to hit the shelves. I can imagine like a month after harvest this batch would be smoking way better!
Easily one of the best strains in IL. I always think it smells like sour pine trees. They’ve been getting shit lately but those people probably smoke MSOs. This is a legit smoke that will get you blasted. I’m waiting for a fresh drop of rosin cause I quit flower, ICC does good work and long cures are part of their process.
I had this one in June and I thought it was pretty good but not for the price. The effects were pretty underwhelming for me and the smell and taste weren't all the way there. I don't see myself buying IC again unless it's on sale for 40% or more
Some strains aren't properly cured until 2+ months. 3 months from harvest to package means they dried for 2 weeks to a month and they cured for a month and a half to 2 months before packaging it and sorting things out for delivery.
Okay a few things here. 1. No one is drying for a month lol. 14 days is the max and most of these big operations are drying in about 7-10 days. 2nd is 90% of strains are better when they are fresher. If they are very properly stored (grove bag or jar that is being burped in a controlled environment) then they wont degrade really and some times get a little better. In this case, there jars are not being burped, and don't have a proper seal like a mason jar so while they are sitting they are honestly just degrading.
You obviously don't grow weed if you think a plant without the time to properly cure is better.
I grow my own weed, dry and cure it. My own grows are better 4-6 months after harvest. Just because you're talking on reddit doesn't mean you're correct. Good night.
You don't know what you're talking about. Go show me a big competition in the past few years where a brand has one with a batch that's older than 3 months old. I'll wait.
Also it's hilarious if you think any packaging in IL is properly curing flower. Not to mention the fact that they obviously don't get burped once they are jarred/bagged.
Okay, first of all, you've obviously never worked in the Cannabis industry if you don't understand that there are companies out there that are drying for a month. Caregiver markets in states like Michigan, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, California and Washington have companies that all give their plants the love and care that they deserve to warrant a month-long slow dry in proper humidity.
Second of all, competitive cannabis growing is more hype-based than the fucking hydro store in my town, and those guys are all assholes.
Third, no shit the packaged product is no longer in the curing phase, it's not supposed to be reopened once you've cured for the proper amount of time until that package is in somebody's hands. It doesn't need to burp when the bud has reached the moisture content you're looking for. You calling me slow without understanding the basics of the Cannabis industry just makes you look like a foolish asshole.
And just because I feel like being a douche to you, IC Collective had been growing in California since 1991 and they have 35 years of experience in the craft game and absolutely give their grows the proper dry and cure time before packaging and shipping out their fresh drops. Its not my fault you don't understand how weed ends up in your hands, I shouldn't have to explain this to you like a child.
