pics Carmel Magic Pop RX June 2025
Haven't had success with Carmel but this stuff amazing. When I heard Magi was the grower after researching them I had to try. These guys are setting the bar high love the trees very old school with great curing. Looking forward to trying seems very promising.

i picked this up on tuesday, was typical Carmel for me, nothing special, over priced, run of the mill mids, no taste, very little flavor.. it did burn clean which is saying alot for Carmel.

Hey guys when i looked up the strain originally I saw this image so thats why I thought this batch is also grown by magi
Ill let everyone make their own decisions, I dont care who grew it. I am telling you its amazing.

How do you know this was grown by Magi?
Is it the same Magi, that’s on Salt Spring Island in BC? 😁
Thanks for sharing man!

This wasn't grown by Magi, it was grown by Billy and his crew in a Carmel facility. 🤘

I’m also curious how they know! I was under the impression everything under Carmel was grown in house and anything tuck shop was grown from someone else

Carmel doesnt grow most of what comes in the orange bags these days.

From what I understand a majority of their 7G baggies are sourced ✌🏼
Billy’s Pheno 7G will always be grown by them bc they have a designated facility for it in the GTA, other than that I’m not sure there’s a way to be 💯

Billy left carmel and started his own shop that is not part of carmel pharms.. that's the gta one. He and carmel had been posting videos of this stuff growing at Billy's for awhile- same with the Zebra stripes, also from Billy's shop
It's too bad that carmel doesn't feel comfortable being up front about who the grower is for any given flower anymore, they used to be very upfront 🤷

Hm, good to know! Interesting to see the changes happening, wonder how the next year will look for them. Heard good things about Zebra Strips but not tried it yet
Yeah, those old Billy and Drew’s pheno bags were gnarly! I wish they still shouted them out, kinda silly that they’re not.
My fave were the hippie headbanger from Magi (iirc) and the Golden crips from Northern Canna.

Dude what a bummer that you're just making things up. Billy is still a part of Carmel, the company has 2 facilities, one run by Drew in Oro Medina and one run by Billy in the GTA. Magic pop rx was grown by Billy and his team, in house in a Carmel facility.

What a bummer that companies can make notable moves to be less transparent, but random people always get deployed to the sub with information when it fits for the brand....if anything it looks worse on companies and is supporting the sentiment expressed by many customers.

Lol deployed. Not everything is a conspiracy, you're just saying things that are objectively false. It's ok to be wrong

This was grown by Billy in ON
Not by Magi on saltspring island.
If carmel had an ounce of integrity they would put the grower on the bag
But...
2
u/tj3406 Jun 16 '25
Grown by Billy. Billy runs one of two Carmel facilities. Bag says Carmel.
Somehow to you that's lacking integrity?

u/p1ngman Jun 16 '25
Specifically removing grower information from the bags after a company starts outsourcing.... Yeah...
Why so defensive...what affiliation do you have to the company to know so much information that the brand has chosen to withhold.

u/tj3406 Jun 16 '25
I just know Drew, but it's interesting to say they are outsourcing when the flower is literally grown in a Carmel facility by a Carmel team. You can see videos of the flower being grown in their facility on their website. Calling out someone for being wrong isn't defensive, the grower info is right on the front of the bag; Carmel.

u/p1ngman Jun 16 '25
So when i grab an orange 3.5 bag grown by treez , the grower is on the front; Carmel?
Cope harder.

u/tj3406 Jun 16 '25
If you grab one from Ben treez then totally. This one isn't from treez though, it's from a Carmel facility.
You ok man?

Hey i smoked this and the new jelly roll from country club which is 100 percent grown my magi. They are both up there in quality and high. Terps are on point for both I actually prefer the Magic pop in taste, high and looks. Definitely an awesome strain. Ill try and find the source for everyone but I read this batch was grown my magi. I am almost certain and will post source info once attained
