True OG x Wedding Cake - Coastal Wild Fire - June 2019
I was grabbin some XOLBG due to the hype (review coming tomorrow) and needed something else to throw in the order so decided to try this. It was on sale for $80 / half O so being a sativa and hybrid lover, I threw one in the cart because I keep hearing how ’everything at CWF is fire’ these days.... I’ve ordered a couple of times from them and never been disappointed but haven’t ordered from them in the past 6 months.
Anyways, it seems the hype is real, at least for this strain. Upon opening the can, the buds were mostly small (not popcorn) with a couple of medium buds and were very light and fluffy. The trim was pretty good for the most part and the few stems were small and thin. The moisture was perfect and it seemed to be very fresh product. There was an Integra Boost pack in the bottom of the can which I’m super happy about. In my long time experience, I only use Integra Boost packs because I like the way they store weed long term. If anything, they enhance the smell and taste of the bud over time, in my experience and experiments.
I was greeted with a HUGE whiff when I opened the can. The smell of Wedding Cake was dominant with it’s vanilla / doughy goodness but also featured a sour / spicy feature to it. Very cool because you can identify the smell of each one. I love weed like that. The smell didn’t fully translate to the taste in my Mighty vape though. To be clear, the Wedding Cake taste was very strong but I missed the sour / spiciness from the smell. The taste lasted a surprisingly long time though and I really enjoyed it.
So how’s the potency? The potency was strong! As a 25 year daily user who prefers sativas and hybrids, I need a potent strain to catch my attention. Went straight to my head within 7-8 mins, which is very quick for me. 5 mins later, it sat behind my eyes too. That’s when the fun began, lol. I felt very stoned in the head with a minor body relax. Eyes were a little swollen (again, rare for me) and I felt focused enough to function but spacey in my brain. Love this kind of daytime buzz. The buzz lasted about 1 - 1.5 hours and then gradually reduced into a hazy head / lazy feel. Not couch lock though.
I typically stick to quads when I buy and while there were many letdowns over the past 12 months, this was in many ways as good or better than many of the strains that I’ve tried recently. While I can’t speak for all the strains at CWF, if you like a sativa / hybrid, this strain is fire for a great price.
I haven’t had a chance to give a try just as of yet as it is a bit too early in my day for heavy indicas. This stuff is beautiful, love at first sight after cracking the can open. It has a lovely pink kush like aroma, very gassy with a bit of pine. Super sticky fresh buds that leave your fingers s...ticky afterwards. Very happy I could pick this up
