A little bit of both it has a strong kushy taste but it’s a bit dry; tastes like other rockstars I’ve had in the past but it is a little harsh and burns grey ash
I have both yep. It’s not the AAAA that they claim, the duration isnt there; but for the price its a solid buy. I just find the high wears off a bit quicker than I’d like, for something they are claiming to be AAAA. Stay away from their Pink Kush house shatter--I bought a quarter of it and it...’s basically sap at room temp.. Very hard to work with.

Ordering & Pricing:
Orde...ring is a cinch, fill your cart, check out, fire off an e-transfer and you’re all set. Pricing is very competitive with some products at SpeedGreens, their Everest shatter is decently priced, they have regular sales, and great quads for those that have the money to buy top-tier product.
Communication:
I tend to use email to communicate with MOMs, and SpeedGreens are extremely fast with their replies, and very helpful with the information they provide. Having personally had an issue with one of their products, I can attest to how quickly and professionally SG deals with customer complaints. For those reasons, I highly recommend SpeedGreens, they bring a high degree of professionalism to the table, though every business has a hiccup here and there at the beginning.
Packaging:
I rave a little about packaging below, but SpeedGreens has some of the best packaging of any mom around. The packages come in a proper shipping box, inside which will be a large, opaque mylar bag, further inside which have frequently been pill bottles containing boveda packs and flower. The budders and shatters all have their own mylar bags, and nothing ever feels at risk of spilling or breaking.

Black Dog: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (85/15) https://i.imgur.com/FxsOz5A.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0AVR1LK.jpg Holy smokes, this is like the holiday festival of cannabis buds, the colours are beautiful--a dozen shades of green and purple, and even some browns! Black Dog has a rather musty/earthy aroma and flavour to it, with a hint of diesel or gassiness that comes out when broken up (a bit like Death Bubba). As with all SpeedGreens quads, the bud is fresh, excellently cured, and absolutely drunk with trichomey goodness. The high of the Black Dog strain is deeply relaxing without being overly sedative--I experienced a headband effect with a calming body stone that would be excellent for Sunday evening horror movie marathons and on-demand snacking events. The vapor is fairly smooth, smoother than Death Bubba, which I see as a close proxy to this strain, and I didn’t have any of the level 9 coughing fits that I had with the Citrique. The duration of effects isn’t quite as long as some of SpeedGreens other quads, and there’s a noticeable burnout. Black Dog would be a good after-work relaxer, and while it isn’t the most potent of SpeedGreens quad offerings, it’s price is slightly more forgiving ($193oz, as compared to $229oz for Black Roses).
My Rating: 4.5/5
Black Roses: Indica-Dominant Hybrid https://i.imgur.com/21dyvNi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iCYwfEU.jpg My nose likes the smell of this strain. It might be the best smelling cannabis strain I have had lately--it has a potent, sweet/floral scent juxtaposed with diesel, and it is highly intoxicating without coming off as excessively artificial. The vapor flavour is the same, in fact, I’m going to go so far as to say this strain tastes delicious! I’d dip a steak in a sauce with this flavour--seriously, I found myself wanting to keep shoving more fresh bud in the vape to keep tasting it. The potency wouldn’t allow for that, however, as multiple bowls of Black Roses will result in a drooling sleep paralysis-type state. Hell, the appearance of it alone just screams, “USE ME AT NIGHT,” for all of its muted dark greens, purples and oranges--it looks tired, and after using it, so will you. The bud is farm-fresh, excellently cured, and expertly trimmed with just the right amount of density (not loose leaf paper, but not igneous rock). The potency of the Black Roses is up there, as can be guessed at by the abundance of milky trichomes, and due to the fairly lengthy duration of its effects, would be a great strain for insomnia or restlessness (use it to combat the effects of Citrique, lol).
My Rating: 5/5… A True Quad.
Funky Skunk: Sativa-Dominant Hybrid https://i.imgur.com/UQv4pG2.jpg What a sexy looking specimen this bud is! It’s big and fresh, and sticky and smells like a big ol’ bushel of fresh-cut flowers, with just the slightest note of skunk. I love getting packages from SpeedGreens, because I know the flower is going to exceptionally fresh, they have always shipped with Boveda no matter how small the amount, and it is hugely appreciated. Thanks to the boveda, the Funky Skunk arrived nice and sticky--I mean some of the freshest weed I’ve ever had come off of a postal truck. The bud is lacquered in trichomes and bright orange pistils, and one can tell just by looking at this bud, that it is a happy buzz. As it is a sativa dominant hybrid, the stone is quite heady, not quite euphoric--I wasn’t spaced out, I was able to concentrate quite well, but with an extra dose of happiness while doing it. Funky Skunk is great daytime weed, the high is energetic, clear headed, and won’t intoxicate you to a level of complete uselessness. That said, the vapour was harsh, really harsh--I was barking the whole way through the bowl and my throat was raw as hell by the end. While I really enjoyed this buzz, I don’t think I could sell myself on buying more and toughing out the harshness.
My Rating: Potency: 4.5/5 Vapour quality: 2.5/5 HARSH!
Citrique: Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (Near Balanced) https://i.imgur.com/1IXXjd4.jpg I am finding that I am not always a fan of these “balanced” strains when they are highly potent--I can smoke AA balanced-hybrids all day long, but when they get to the quad range, the effects start to feel a tad sketchy with some strains. For me, it slightly feels like the indica and sativa effects are battling for dominance, and it just makes me feel uneasy and restless. If you are a fan of the potent, balanced hybrids, then Citrique certainly fits that profile. In just a few exhales I could feel both a strong body stone, and strong cerebral effects come over me--my body kept wanting to fall asleep, while my mind raced like crazy… Not for me. However, I know there are people out there who this is for, and let me assure you, it is another large, fresh, trichome stacked, ice-fall of a bud, and it has a fairly strong smell of citrus skunk (perhaps slightly artificial smelling). The vapour is the same, cirtus skunk and a tad on the artificial side--much smoother than the Funky Skunk, however. The effects are strong and longer lasting than I would have liked, lol. It’s potent, high quality cannabis, but it isn’t a strain I’d use frequently, maybe here and there for a weird energy, day buzz. (My rating reflects only the literal quality of the bud, it does not reflect my personal taste for the type of effects experienced.)
My Rating: Potency: 4.5/5
Sour Patch Kids: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (Near Balanced) https://i.imgur.com/f6dItid.jpg Sour Patch Kids is another near balanced strain, however, this one leans more toward it’s indica lineage, and for that reason, I find the effects much more agreeable to my constitution. I did not find the highs competing for dominance with this one, it is decidedly more indica, and I found none of the sketchiness that I experienced with the Citrique. SpeedGreens SPK has great bud/bag appeal, the bud is big, insanely fresh, has a gorgeous floral/earthy smell, and is spattered in cloudy trichomes and bright orange pistils. The earthy/floral vapour that SPK produces is fairly smooth, but I did find it a bit tickly on the throat at higher temps. I could see folks enjoying this bud for recreational outings, its has a great, giggly day buzz, with little burnout, and its has a good psychoactive component for enjoying the great out-of-doors. The potency is right on point for a quad, and the effects from just a small amount are long lasting. Overall, I recommend the Sour Patch Kids to those folks looking for a fun-energy, giggly day buzz, with a light burnout.
