I know it doesn’t look like much but this is has got to be one of my most amazing buys from BMWO in the past few months. While only 4A (yes, BMWO goes up to 5A, get over it guys), the smell, the burn (pure white ash), the smoothness and the absolute body crushing high is unmatched by any other bub...ba strain I’ve had. I love indicas and this shit was amazing. Looking forward to ordering some more!
Shipped and received in a very quick 2 days from BC to Ontario. Packaged in a small and sturdy box protecting everything inside. All the flower was packaged in individual twist cap containers suitable for 3.5... grams of flower. Also shipped with bovedas which was a nice touch. Everything was vacuum sealed as well containing all smells.
**Headband**
https://i.imgur.com/GClVXTa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DF0N2FP.jpg I only found out recently that headband was just sour kush, which I’ve had at least a handful of times. This batch from BMWO surely beats all past experiences. These not so dense buds are extremely sticky and lively looking with vibrant light greens and long orange hairs. Not the greatest trim for something that should be considered a quintuple but the abundance of full trichome heads surely make up for it, as does the potency.
The terps are very complex with so many notes coming through the longer you smell. A mix of lemon/citrus and diesel fuel followed by sharp, lingering hints of skunk. The taste is more on the herbal/piney side but with a lemony diesel aftertaste. Once again theres also a skunky tinge that seeps through, almost reminding me of chemdawg.
For such thick smoke it is insanely smooth, as well as clean burning, producing a white ash in a bong.
When it comes to the high is where this headband excels, immediately feeling that tightness effect on the forhead right after the first bong hit. A very in the head type of high with a slight spaceyness, making it difficult to focus on simple things. With that being said, theres still a creative side to it promoting free flowing thoughts. After a while the indica side kicks in, enabling a relaxing and calming couch lock. I haven’t gotten the sedative effects from it but others have reported it knocking them out.
**XXX**
https://i.imgur.com/kOFBYc3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/BOs8qmO.jpg Heard of this strain many times but never got around to trying it, until now. Let’s start off with the bag appeal; Sticky, medium sized buds that are tightly trimmed and caked with substantial amounts of trichomes. Real nice and healthy looking, with bright minty greens complemented by tiny orange hairs.
Couldn’t really find the exact lineage, although the general consensus is that it’s a skunk derived cross. I can definitely sense the skunk in here, with fresh wafts of an almost citrusy rubber releasing once the pill canister is opened. Very sweet, yet sour, as is the taste, with a lingering skunky tinge that manifests on the back of the tongue. Really reminds me of of Romulan or similar strains. Once again a fairly smooth and clean smoke, burning a light coloured ash in a bong.
The high takes on more of a fullbodied approach, not leaning in any specific direction. Very clear headed with a relaxing body stone that isn’t sedative nor disabling. I want to describe it as being in a zen state of mind. All in all, a perfect balanced hybrid thats suitable for any occasion.
**Gorilla Glue × Monster Cookies**
https://i.imgur.com/ZZIcD0W.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kHUECco.jpg Very cool mix of two strains with this one. Gorilla Glue #4 × Monster Cookies making for quite the aroma and flavour profile. The buds are really caked in a blanket of trichomes. Sticky to the touch inside and out and boasts a plethora of different shades of green. Unique looking to say the least.
The smell at first is mostly gorilla glue with notes of sweet pine but there is also a certain sourness from the chem sis and sour dub relatives. When you crack a nug open you are hit with an intoxicating and pungent fuel aroma that stings the nostrils. Some added notes of earth as well with a familiar nuttiness. One of the more complex strains I’ve had lately as it took a while to get even the slightest idea of what was going on lol. Very thick and creamy smoke that carries over the flavour of diesel and earth with a certain cookie sweetness. Absolutely stunk up the house in no time.
Definitely smokes like a balanced hybrid with even effects. All starts with a quick rush to the head that you feel behind the eyes. Really cerebral at first, expressing it’s sativa side. Eventually the body effects start to kick in with a building buzz that relaxes you into the couch. Classic couch llock feeling but still mentally stimulating enough to not feel tired. Decently long lasting high as well. Probably my favourite strain of the four.
**Nuken**
https://i.imgur.com/tVZ9EYo.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4viM72p.jpg Has to be the strain I’ve had the most this year next to pink kush. No surprise as it’s a huge Canadian yielder. Heavy and dense forest green buds in typical Nuken fashion with a good amount of trichomes covering them. Leaves the fingers sticky to the touch when handling them. Could use a bit of a haircut in some areas.
Nuken can vary in profile a lot and sometimes it’s more pine dominant and sometimes more berry dominant. At first this one is mostly of the pine variation until broken apart where it smells like berries and molasses with a hint of pine. Very strong and terpy aroma that translates to taste quite accurately. Smooth in a joint or bong with a light coloured ash and coats the palate with it’s full flavoured smoke. A notch above the average Nuken imo.
Relaxing and chill type of high that isn’t a heavy hitter or sedating type. Instead, it’s the kind of indica that can be smoked anytime without slowing you down. Calms the mind and body and just promotes good all around feelings with a slight body tingling buzz. Great representation of this Canadian strain.

**Final Notes**
Despite the ratings that people aren’t crazy about, and I tend to agree, everything was on point. Starting with the helpful and friendly cs from Michael here in the forums, to the quality of the flower. AAAAA is apparently a rating they use to personally grade their flower but these particular strains were closer to quad quality based on nose/taste/burn/potency/bag appeal. The Nuken I would say is a AAA +. All in all I was happy and impressed with the flower and the experience as a whole.
