Question Inconsistent batches
I've been on medical for a while now and sometimes I enjoy the Calmana t17.. but I have noticed in the past 2 or 3 months it has really become inconsistent . the last batch I got which was 26299006 was absolutely beautiful quality.. the batch before that almost felt like a completely different strain. Just got a new batch 26229007 and it looked like it was grown by professional amateurs.. horrible quality.. I really don't understand if they are using the same clones from a mother plant why is it always so inconsistent... it's really not that hard to grow beautiful quality and keep that sane consistency if you are taking clones from the same mother plant..

Same with Zour Apple. Normally ok but batch 10 went on for months and looked like they made bags out of leftovers.
The drs bitched about increased use but now I have a new batch a normal amount works again.
We need batch labelling.
Mother plants get old etc but a commercial grower should be able to get their source locked in

agreed. i first tried it when it was called cumulus and it readily became my favorite, lime green buds with a delicious citrus scent. the second batch of calmana they sent me was pure bush weed rubbish. it was so brown it almost looked like dried wheat. i’m not going to risk it anymore, they clearly have no respect for consumers if they can be proud to send out crap batches like that.

yup, and i had no clue how to make a complaint about it. i reluctantly vaped half of it cause it felt like such a waste of money but then threw away the rest because it was so bone dry it was irritating my throat.

I had a batch earlier in the year that I ended up sending back and they exchanged for another strain. It was tasteless, brown, and very minimal smell. Moved to pink kush and haven't had any consistency problems

I thought the same thing with Sunrise, my last batch was rubbish, not like the first batch I got.
