Edit with review:

Very stoned at the moment lol. When I first opened the bag I was hit with one of the strongest fruity, sweet, tropical smells ever lol. This stuff is very strong and very smooth. Had a few tokes out of my pipe so taste wasn’t super strong, but I got a bit of a sweet an...d fruity taste. Will have to try a joint later to get more of the flavour. Most of the buds are a little on the smaller side but super dense and tight with a good trim.

I think I have to up my rating to a Q: 9.5/10 and V: 9/10. A little on the pricey side at $70/7g or $260/oz, but definitely worth it in my opinion.


~~About try this, will update with review in a bit. Based on looks and smell ill give it a 9/10 quality and 8/10 value. Smells insanely fruity, buds are a bit smaller but crazy dense and with a perfect trim.~~See More

First let me start by saying that HGA usually carries really good everything... I think they really missed a lot on this one. This was graded as AAAA- and I think a AAA- rating is more appropriate or even AA based off of the irritation on inhale.

First we will start with how it looks.. as y...ou can see from the pictures the smalls definitely left something to be desired. My last review I praised them on the size of the red congo smalls.. these were popcorn/popcorn seeds at best. A lot of the smaller cleft/larf/whatever you wanna call the small leafy, scraggly buds had little stems shooting off of them which I had to pick through and throw out. a lot of the nugs were so small it probably took me 20-30 minutes to pick through everything I wanted to keep to smoke (wish I had timed this) and I had 2.1g of shake/stem when all was said. Some smaller stuff I would normally consider shake I had to let pass the test in fear of losing 2-3 grams of tiny nugs. Most gelato I’ve seen has had a good variance in colour from green to purple but these small nugs all look pretty uniform, but when you get nugs this small I don’t know if they grow to develop colour...

The smell upon arrival was kind of a light kush... maybe sweetened kush kinda smell.. fairly muted.. nothing really exciting to write home about.. I was more excited about the skunk bomb sample in the bag (which might be skunk bubba since they don’t have Bomb listed?). I expected more sweetend creamy with some gas on the backend and fruit undertones by everyones descriptions.

The smoke... I don’t know if it was the fact that these smalls were SOOOO Small, or it wasn’t flushed/dried/cured proper... but the inhale on this itches the throat... It’s harsh on the inhale.. has a small lung pull, nothing heavy by any means... The scratchy throat on the inhale and slight irritance afterwards is all that comes to mind though. Didn’t pay attention to colour of ash for you crazy ash heads, usually just try to feel it and enjoy. Flavor was very similar to the taste... kind of a light kush... the sweetness was almost lost and it was more of a light kush with earthy undertones.

The buzz was mild for an AAAA- from HGA and honestly slightly ruined by the irritated throat. I’m a concentrate smoker and I’d say I was moderately buzzed, I believe I took a dab when I got back in from the joint. It’s tough for me to evaluate the high.. I feel like the harshness on the inhale is really killing my vibes. But probably probably a mild chilled out kind of social vibe that I got off it.

Q: 5.6/10 - I’ve had so much better from HGA.. I’ve never had anything from them be so harsh on the throat... normally even something really heavy hitting like DMC will be smooth going down and then on the exhale you feel it on the lungs... I’m not even sure if this is real Gelato.. I know ever Pheno is different but where are the fruity undertones? And where is the colouring???

​

V: 5/10 - These smalls were $180 an ounce.. If these were priced around the $100-$120 mark I’d say it’d be a more appropriate value. =/

One of / If not the most disappointing purchase from HGA... I’m not sure if these smalls are so small that’s what’s causing the irritation or if it wasn’t dried/cured/flushed proper... or If I’m just smoking some mediocre strain marked as Gelato... but why the throat irritant!

Would love some feedback from anyone who got regular sized.See More

I saw HGAs RC smalls up for 150 and grabbed an oz and man are these SMALLS, and leafy. Beyond that this is still VERY much the Red Congo I know and love from them. The smell, taste and effects are not affected by the small size imo. Classic sativa strain that really needs no additional review based ...on the abundance of reviews for this stuff here. Im really happy with the purchase.

Incentive for review is $25 off next order and free shipping.

I also have a referral code for 25 bucks off your first order if anyone is interested in giving HGA a try.

Cheers!See More

Hey hey ! You’ve been able to see it faster than me! It was stuck on loading!

I’ve been wanting to try this one for awhile. Finally got a chance. Pretty tasty in a vaporizer. Reminds me of a good Rock tuna I had awhile back. Potency is good. Not a knockout but fairly potent. Buds were a bit leafy. Have had some burn issues on a couple of joints. Not a deal breaker but burn ...could be better. Overall good stuff for the price. Q-8. V-8.5See More
