Arriving on the dry side as towering colas that were less impressive up close, this **Living Soil Hempstar** had a muted nose of sour, woody earth in the jar, releasing additional notes of pungently-sweet plant matter when ground. After a piney, woody sweetness to start, this Hempstar eases into a g...eneric woody/earthy sweetness, with hints of fruit on the exhale. Offering moderate, quick-hitting cerebral effects followed by a mild comedown, with increased anxiety, paranoia and eye strain as possible adverse effects, this capable value sativa was of above-average potency.

Arriving as frosty, attractive small to medium nugs with minimal signs of handling, these **Blizzard Cookies** (likely *Cookies and Cream* x *MAC*) had an invigorating pungency of citrus and sweet gas. This balanced hybrid leads with sweet, nutty notes of citrus and musk before maintaining a slightl...y-sweet earthiness for the remainder of the enjoyable experience, with hints of spice at higher temperatures. Offering a healthy dose of euphoria in a heady, mostly-functional stone, with mild eye strain as a possible adverse effect, these Blizzard Cookies were surprisingly potent.

Representing our second experience with this unique cultivar, this **Living Soil Chocolate Japan** arrived on the dry side as well-trimmed medium nugs with a pungent, chemically-sweet aroma of citrus and fresh earth. Its complexities carry over to its taste as well, leading with woody, herbal notes ...before maintaining a slightly-sweet, ‘roasted’ earthiness for most of the experience, with spicy undertones emerging at various temperatures. Offering dizzying cerebral effects with a mild comedown and some eye strain, this attractive sativa was of above-average potency.

It’s a nice day time hybrid for me . I got it about a week ago and have been enjoying joints of it . Pretty flavourful, and smell is also very nice with hints of cake or dough with a hint of sour .going to vape some in the mighty and see how that tastes as well.
Quarter came as 2 big nugs and ...a couple smaller ones. Dense crystally buds with an excellent trim! Burns pretty clean, just a tad harsh on the exhale. I’m enjoying it!See More

Haha good question.. totally a stem from me. I smoked bout half the loot before I took this photo.

The trim is clean on all orders to date.. not stemmy, no topped nugs, no evidence of handling in general other than the cut leaves.
