MOM NameFarmhard

Overall rating out of 10:9

Sign Up:None, orders are done by email

Ordering & Pricing:Email orders, menu is simple, prices competitive. What I love is that all of their sizing is mix and match.

Communication: ordered on a Saturday night, email was answ...ered within less than an hour

Packaging:Very basic. Old-school ziplocks, vacuum bagged, wrapped with gift-wrapping paper. Effective, but not eye-pleasing. Strains are tagged with name and weight.

Products / Photos:I chose Texada Timewarp, AK-47, and blueberry. Like previous reviews state, yes, it has a distinct grassy hay smell. Not bad, just there. Smells and feels like plant. Taste is very grassy as well. The high on both of my strains was great. Not punch in the face after 2 puffs kinda high, more like a large cruise ship taking it’s time to get to crusing speed, and then staying there to cross the Atlantic. A lot longer high than I’m used to. The Timewarp was very cerebral and almost hallucinogenic im it’s euphoria. Can’t comment on the Blueberry since I didnt taste it. All in all, both strains are excellent, even if bag appeal isnt the best. Both burn nice and clean and provide a very pure high with almost no burnout.

Incentive for Customers:None that I know of. I ordered during their black friday sale, so the oz cost 112 including shipping. I got some kief as a sample, havent tried it yet, but looks and smells excellent.

Incentive for Review:None at all.

Notes:They also sell clones and kief. Take a look at their website for pics of their setup.See More

**ATTENTION** Please see part one of this review for information on FarmHard’s organic process, as well as information pertaining to ordering & pricing, communication, packaging, and some general thoughts regarding this MOM and organic cannabis.

Rockstar: Indica-Dominant Hybrid
https://i.imgur.com/c0wo8Ui.jpg
I must confess some bias here, I LOVE the Rockstar strain, I find it ultimately relaxing, and I would snort it even if it were A-. This particular Rockstar, to my nose, has a pleasant mild-flowery overtone to it when busted up in the grinder. The vapour is again, super smooth with a mild-floral taste, and it just pours out of the vape in big billows; clouds ya’ll! The anti-anxiety and relaxing effects of the Rockstar strain hit fairly quickly, and I felt a nice warm calm come over me. Rockstar is not the most potent or intense stone, it isn’t meant to be, but it is great at what it is meant for--anxiety and depression. Buds are slightly narrow and elongated, but dense, tacky, and fresh as all get out. Duration on bowls were approx. 7-8 sessioning in Solo II, and the effects were long lasting.

My Rating: 3.8/5

Texada Timewarp: Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
https://i.imgur.com/XfrKUoo.jpg
I love looking at this bud, it is so classically cannabisy looking, with dark and light greens playing off one another throughout. Buds are elongated and a fair size, larger than popcorn, and very dense. Definitely an energetic stone--I could feel the effects off of the second exhale and felt renewed energy almost instantly, kind of like a shot of espresso. Daytime use would be no problem with this strain, and I daresay it might even be beneficial for some looking for that extra spring in their step. Might make for a great ’attitude adjustment’ on those cranky ass days. I confess to not have the best sense of smell around, but I got a bit of a spicy note in the aroma when busted up, and the vape taste followed suit. The vapour was extremely smooth, I don’t think I even hiccuped, even at 220C! Duration was good, probably 7 mins sessioning in the Solo II per 0.2g bowl. Effects here again were long lasting. I’m not sure if it is something about the organic process they employ, but FarmHard’s cannabis has a longer duration of effects than a lot of weed I have ingested lately, and I am thoroughly impressed! I got a lot out of this strain, it is a killer sativa and the effects are exactly what I’d be after for an afternoon of creativity.

My Rating: 4.2/5

Violator Kush: Indica
https://i.imgur.com/rKb5cz9.jpg
Violator is one of those strains for which my brain is unable to conjure an appropriate proxy for what, exactly, it smells like... For now I’ll go with, odd. This organic violator is a bit of an exception as the smell is fairly muted, but it is there, if you grind it up and shove your nose in it. The buds of FarmHard’s violator are smallish, elongated, very dense and quite tacky. I am not a fan of the taste of the violator strain, I find it tastes quite musty, and it takes a few good puffs on the vape before it dissipates. The vapour is extremely dense and fairly smooth (wee bit harsher than the other strains) despite my dislike for the taste. The strong indica effects come on fast, just a couple exhales and I was melting into my chair amidst a strong body buzz that turned my arms into limp noodles. FarmHard’s violator boasts potent, therapeutic effects, which lasted long after the bowl was extinguished, and was an excellent choice with which to end the night. Indica lovers can’t go wrong with either kush strain from FarmHard, but the violator may be slightly more potent. Vape duration was like the Terry Fox run with this one, kept on going!

My Rating: 4.2/5

High Potency Organic Cannabis Oil (Ethyl Extraction):
https://i.imgur.com/tydHKAZ.jpg
Not a huge fan of the taste, and the aftertaste lingers a long time, but the effects are dramatic. This is highly potent oil, a dab the size of a grain of rice knocked me out for 8 hours solid, and I’m a 220lb guy. I will be using this regularly for sleep, it’s a powerhouse! $20 a gram is a very solid price for this oil.

My Rating: 5/5... (I don’t expect it to taste good)

My Thoughts In General:

Having come to the completion of this review, and having sampled all of FarmHard’s products, I am genuinely thrilled that I made the choice to try organic cannabis (I am already ordering more). My lungs felt clearer and less congested after vaping organic cannabis, and I am certain there must be health benefits. Unlike organic food, FarmHard’s cannabis is actually priced below a lot of its competition in the non-organic space, and in this way, I think FarmHard is an absolute no-brainer. I would easily rate all of FarmHard’s cannabis as AAA (+ or -). Give organic cannabis a try, your lungs and body will thank you!

Brief Postscript:

I was told by the proprieters of FarmHard that they are setting up to press organic rosin, and it should be available within a few weeks! ! :D :D

As always, friends, thanks for reading and watch for more MirkaLane reviews in the near future! :D

Sign Up:

The fine folks at FarmHard prefer to cultivate a relationship with e...ach customer they acquire, and as such, FarmHard does not use the typical web-based signup and order platform that is common amongst most MOMs. As their minimalistic website states, FarmHard prefers that you email them directly to make an order. Personally, I am a fan of this ethic. I always email MOMs before placing an order because it is nice to know who you are dealing with, and it is refreshing to be regarded as more than simply an order number.

Ordering & Pricing:

Since I did not place a legitimate order, I cannot comment on ordering specifically. Although, if it goes as smoothly as my interactions with FarmHard by email, then ordering will be a cinch.

At the quality I am estimating with this cannabis (AAA + or -), I’d say these prices are very good! With Black Friday sales on right now, you can get $100ozs, and $380QPs, with free kief samples! That is nothing to scoff at, people!

Communication:

Communication is just fantastic. I interacted with one of the proprietors and she is not only a sweet, personable human, but she is a complete wealth of knowledge. I picked her brain with a number of queries pertaining to their organic process, and she was quick, detailed and friendly in her responses. Overall, I feel better treated already with FarmHard than I have with a number of MOMs in the past--who have simply taken my order, sent me an automatically-generated ’order completion’ email, then wrote me off.

Packaging:

As with most procedures, FarmHard prefers to do things slightly differently than other MOMs. Instead of a heap of mylar bags (bound for the trash), FarmHard packages their cannabis in standard ziplock bags, which helps to reduce all the waste packaging that is typical with MOMs nowadays. The .5 they lost off of my overall rating comes simply as a lack of moisture control. Granted, mine were samples, so they may not have felt the need to add moisture control for samples, and they may do it for larger orders (don’t know), but the lack of any moisture control would be a concern for somebody ordering a package cross-country during the postal strike. Other than that one minor gripe, the packaging is on point with the eco-friendly agenda.

General Notes:

Let’s talk organic turkey! FarmHard’s largest selling point is that they are wholely organic cannabis proprietors (not only cannabis, they also grow garlic and other things, but I am not reviewing bad breath here), and that they do not use non-natural pesticides, grow chemicals or nutrients. As stated in my review of West Coast Cannabis, many consumers may not realize, but the chemicals and nutrients that many growers choose to use on their cannabis, are specifically and intentionally designed to artificially enhance the aroma and taste of the bud. They will be excessively sugary, resulting in a much higher sweetness ratio than is naturally occurring in marijuana. While some people may find these artificial enhancements appealing, one should consider why they are being used in the first place, because they are certainly not needed in order to grow high quality cannabis. I have to question the sweetening of things to make them more appealing; makes me think of menthol cigarettes.

To put this in perspective, I look at these ultra sweet smelling strains (that put off a scent of candy and icecream), like the McDonald’s of cannabis, where the flavours have been so artificially enhanced that they don’t taste like weed anymore. On the flip-side of the coin, you have FarmHard’s cannabis, which would be more like the hipster, organic, vegan joint, where everybody bags on GMO weed.

In terms of literal process, FarmHard utilizes an indoor greenhouse grow space, and sprays the plants with an organic raw (not roasted) sesame oil spray, that is made in house. The plants themselves are grown in complex living soil system that is cultivated using a number of organic grow foods, elements/minerals, and faunal turbative processes; e.g. fossilized carbon complex, fossilized phosphate, diamotacious earth, dolomite lime, manure tea, worm castings and compost.

The result is high potency, high quality cannabis that smells like, well, WEED! Marijuana should have a naturally organic, plant-like smell, not quite the ’hay or grass’ that people sometimes describe, but certainly organic smelling. There are discernible ’notes’ (terpenes) of other aromas and flavours to it--the mango kush certainly smells of mango--but they all share that plant-like aroma and taste that cannabis should exhibit when it hasn’t been pumped full of sugars and artificiality.

The trim job on each strain was absolutely immaculate! Lovers of big bulbous buds might not be huge fans of FarmHard’s unorthodox, ’elognated’ bud structure, but don’t let the shape fool you. Lastly, the freshness and cure of each strain was absolutely spot on--no dryness nor excess moisture, perfect!

AK-47: Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
https://i.imgur.com/0e4mATW.jpg

I had such a laugh at myself smoking this strain. I did a wake and bake with it, thinking, okay nice, should be a good clear headed stone to start the day! WRONGO! I found myself daydreaming of far away lands instead of getting life done. Caught me off guard! As mentioned above, the smell of all of FarmHard’s cannabis products share a similar note, and that is of organic plant matter. Overall, I find this smell appealing, though I believe it is the smell that many growers are trying to mask, so I may be a rare case--I can’t help but feel that it is healthier and safer for human consumption. The buds were a good size, larger than popcorn and had a great amount of trichomey happiness sprinkled all over. As with all the FarmHard strains, the bud density was quite high. Each bud had a great tackiness and freshness--just an excellent cure. The high is very euphoric and daydreamy, not overly sedative, but certainly will have you not performing at your highest capacity. I found it great for wake and bake, but maybe on a day when I had less to do. The vapour was very smooth (a trait I found common to all of FarmHard’s organic cannabis), and it lasted a good 7-8 mins sessioning in the Solo II. The effects were extremely long lasting, I was high for well over an hour from 0.2g, and that’s unusual for me.

My Rating: 4/5

Blueberry: Indica
https://i.imgur.com/g5laJH7.jpg
A slightly mild feeling indica, I actually found the effects of the Blueberry very focused and cerebral, more like a sativa, and it gave me that sensation of wearing a headband at the front of my skull, fun! It is a bit of a creeper, as it took about 5-10 mins to feel the full effects. The smell of the blueberry is the same as other FarmHard products, sort of a mild-organic smell, but the blueberry notes are definitely there to be noticed once busted up. I’d say this is a fantastic daytime indica, no heavy body stone that makes you trip over the dog. Not a duration champ in the vape, only a single 5 min session in the Solo II, but the high was surprisingly long lasting for how short the bowl lasted. Like the AK-47, I found myself feeling the effects for probably close to an hour off of 0.2g. The buds themselves were coated in milky trichomes, were popcorn or slightly larger in size, and were high density. Overall, really enjoyed the blueberry!

My Rating: 3.8/5

OG Mango Kush: Indica-Dominant Hybrid
https://i.imgur.com/zyTM97Q.jpg
Here’s where the natural terpenes really come out with FarmHard’s bud! Even without busting you can smell the mango coming off of this bud straight away, and it only strengthens when broken up. I liked the flavour of this strain best of the six that I tried from FarmHard, but I half expected that by the name alone--not that I am partial to mango, but it is a nice flavour. Buds are frosty and extremely dense, with that same characteristic elongated bud structure. Vapour was quite dense and extremely smooth, even at the highest temperatures. The effects of the OG Mango are potent to say the least; strong body buzz, great pain-killer, heavy/drowsy stone. This bud is great for nighttime use and sleep, chillin’, watching movies, etc. Duration in the Solo II was quite long, pushing 10 mins. Effects are long lasting and very therapeutic.

My Rating: 4/5

Kief Extract:
https://i.imgur.com/mTGDGDR.jpg
Here’s your rocketship, buds! A sprinkle of this blonde kief on your bowls or in joints will have you wandering blind alleys, asking other people who you are. For those who make their own oil, this would make a great topping for homemade moon-rocks. It’s not the most finely sifted kief I have ever had, you can see tiny bits of plant material in the photos, but it is absolutely high potency kief and would probably make excellent homemade hash. I put a bunch of it in a bowl with some ash, and proceeded to become paralyzed from the intense stone (mighta overdid it a bit ;)) . Good value, especially if you are able to work out a deal for a whack of it (I might have to).

My Rating: 4/5

Incentive for Customers:

Fantastic prices on AAA ozs and QPs! Occasional sales (currently having a Black Friday Sale). Discounts are available for referrals.

Incentive for Review:

I was provided this sample pack to review.

Notes:

Let’s talk about what you get when you decide to order FarmHard organic cannabis. You get strains that all have a similar organic smell that may not be for everyone, however, each strain has it own natural terpenes, aromas, and flavours that come out very nicely when busted and vaped. You get buds that have a slightly unorthodox, ’elongated’ bud structure, however, those buds are incredibly dense, immaculately trimmed, and packed with a potency that seems, to me, longer lasting than many other non-organic strains I have tried of late. You get some of the smoothest vapour production from cannabis that this guy has ever experienced. You get treated like a human and not an order number. And last but certainly not least, I feel like you might just be making a healthier decision in choosing organic cannabis.

I would easily rate all of FarmHard’s strains as hovering right around AAA give or take a + or -. The main difference I see: craft trips and quads are tasty (if not overly tasty) rocketships, that propell you to space and come crashing to Earth relatively quickly. FarmHard’s organic cannabis strains are more like a commercial airliner, that take you to the upper atmosphere, and keep you there long enough to get to Australia (not literally, please don’t PM asking why you didn’t get high for 16 hours off of a single bowl). :D

It danked up the house pretty well. If you go in real close you can get a bit of hay/grass... But it’s not of putting at all.

yeah, i had a bit of a time tracking down info on it too. Haven’t tried it yet, but looking forward to it. Doesn’t seem like it’s the most potent stuff, but my tolerance is pretty low, so I have a feeling it’ll be perfect for me.
