Sourced some enjoyable non-LSO Apple Pie from the same source a while back, so quite grateful that they allowed us to try this LSO Apple Pie as one of their Nov review submissions to compare

This LSO Apple Pie arrived as a mix of small to medium nugs of perfect humidity, has a skunky, lem...ony, citrusy, (apricot-y?) pungency in the jar and skunky/lemony/earthy early flavours that settle as a smooth nutty/earthy sweetness, retaining a skunky pungency throughout

While this LSO batch lacks some of the striking visual appeal of the earlier 'regular' Apple Pie, I prefer the more pronounced terpene profile + slightly more flavourful taste profile of the LSO version

I found the non-LSO 'regular' Apple Pie from Sept to be slightly more potent, while this LSO version is still above-average in terms of potency as a sativa-dominant hybrid that's enjoyably energizing, with dry eyes as a likely adverse effect. Have had good returns using both batches of Apple Pie prior to cardio

This LSO Bad Girl (The Whip x GSC) arrived on the dry side as dense, visually impressive medium nugs with mostly tidy trim and a sweet, slightly herbal Cookies aroma with some fruity notes.

Starts chemmy/woody with a 'fresh' sweetness, then settles into a woody, Cookies baked good...s profile with a sour, fruity pungency. Loses points for considerable harshness, but is fruitier than expected, maintaining an enjoyable citrusy, grainy/woody earthiness throughout the experience

Have found this surprisingly potent so far and would say that potency is the best characteristic of this balanced or sativa-leaning hybrid with a pronounced euphoric rush that hits mostly at once

Prob my fave of KC's Nov submissions over the LSO Apple Pie

Listed as Ocean Grown Tropicana Miracle #2 (Tropicana Cookies x MAC), this cultivar arrived as medium/small nugs of perfect humidity and a lightly orangey, citrusy aroma. The buds seem to lack some of the usual development we've grown accustomed to from this source - could be a matter of handlin...g/trim, shorter flowering time or different medium, not sure

With that said, have found this sativa-dominant or sativa-leaning hybrid to be a very pleasant daytime experience. Its particularly smooth throughout, starts creamy and woody with a gassy pungency, then becomes earthier with a citrusy sourness and a skunky, gassy pungency

Flavours fade before the end and have found this to only be moderately potent so far, but have been using it before cardio with success

After a couple of days I would say this. Strong potency but it makes me cough a lot. Maybe because it is very strong (advertised +26%). Salt and pepper hashes. Still a very enjoyable smoke that last (1-2h) and punch the brain.(Head rush that slowly relaxe the body fairly, but to much!)
