7g of Pink Kush House ’Shatter’ (Sap)?...: AA https://i.imgur.com/maX1xRb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gczwp0I.jpg
The Negatives:
Well, this marks the first time I have bought shatter that came with a warning telling me that it is not shatter until I put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, each time I want to use it... every... single... time. Sounds annoying, right? Hell yes it’s annoying, AF! I lost a bunch of it just trying to get it off the damn wax paper into a silicone container--the paper kept tearing, I kept swearing, and no good came of it. Now, I have read one review on SpeedGreens website, where one guy claims that after he left it in silicone for a few days, it hardened up to a more shatter-like consistency, and I will have to update this review at a later date to either confirm or deny that claim. But as it stands right now, after only a few mins at room temperature, this ’shatter’ turns into the worst kinda sticky honey type shit that you’d never want to work with. So I can manage to get all of a dab or three, then I gotta fire it back in the freezer cause it has turned into ectoplasm again. Yeesh. Full on nightmare. Having spoken with a friend who makes really good shatter using a closed-loop extractor and vacuum oven, I am now of the understanding that this stickiness could be due to a few factors: 1. the shatter could be under-purged and still have butane in it, but there is no evidence such as popping, sparking, or sizzling to suggest that, 2. the flower may not have been dehydrated to a low enough moisture content prior to extraction, or 3. it may be excessively terpy (it is highly terpy). I’m not entirely sure which of these factors it is, perhaps a combination of a couple of them, but it makes for impossibly sticky sap at room temperature.
I have a couple complaints here: first of all, this is NOT shatter, so please stop selling it as such. Second of all, the warning that was sent with my package is NOT on the website, it 100% should be. Having tried their ’AAAA’ shatter, which has a proper shatter consistecy, I am of the opinion that selling this shit as shatter and dropping in some lame cop-out blurb, passing the buck to the customer; ’our house shatter sucks, but here, you deal with it,’ is bad business.
Feels like bait and switch, and I ain’t smiling. https://i.imgur.com/jcEb7AM.jpg The Positives:
I got it for the Black Friday price, thank god... When you finally manage to get this off of everything in the house and into a banger, it has a nice terpy profile, it seems to burn clean, it is smooth on the throat, and it has sort of a medium-potency pink kush shatter high.
Conclusion:
If this were SHATTER, like the website said, I’d be ecstatic, but being this hard to work with, I’m honestly quite let down.
My Rating: Potency: 5/10, Ease of Use: 2/10
Incentive for Review:
Your respect.
Notes:
If you can figure a better way to use it than spending 10 minutes freezing it, then spending another 20 cleaning it off of everything, then by all means pick some up, the potency is certainly there for the price. But if you have children and tend to curse, do not buy this, your kids will be talking like sailors in minutes.
YEESH.
P.S. Let this review mark a point in history, where all my haters can eat their words, as this negative review comes directly off the back of having recently received free product (NOT FREE, these reviews are hard work) from this company. If the product sucks, I’ll state it every goddamn time. Getting sick and tired of snidely posts from a couple of overly opinionated trolls around here.
I think I remember the description said equal ratio but no other info. I bought this for my fiancé who likes CBD more than I do but we haven’t had a chance to try this just yet. Later today!
Durban Poison is one of my favorite strains so I figured I’d try another African landrace. Super smooth inhale, bit of a creeper, somewhat challenging but interesting taste. Very light, wispy buds, true sativa structure.
This is one of those ’atypical’ strains. Has a very strange rubb...ery, spicy smell, and a flavor to match - I can’t say I’ll ever pursue this strain for its flavor, but the effects are great.
Other than a *slight* hint of similar aroma it doesn’t remind me of Durban Polson at all. A true sativa pheno, it gives clear headed euphoria, but it pairs it with a pretty decent ’stoned’ body load that, strangely, has no couch lock. It’s strange, I *felt* stoned but I didn’t feel weighed down at all. I suppose one would have to try it.
I originally ordered the sour tangie but they ran out and sent this in it’s place. I’m glad they did cause this was a perfect wake and bake session. Nice and consistent uplifting head high. Smells great (gassy orange citrus) but I didn’t get any taste through the piece I was using.
This review is based off of a mixed order: the concentrates and dutch treat were part of a legitimate purchase, and the quad flowers were samples provided for review. I have no affiliation with SpeedGreens beyond the ...scope of this review.
To their credit, SpeedGreens provided me with some primetime 1g+ sample buds for photography purposes, and as such I won’t really comment on bud size past here… suffice it to say, they were all juicy! ;). Each bud was both excellently trimmed and cured, with varying degrees of tackiness.
L.A. O.G.: Indica (AAAA) https://i.imgur.com/CtuZ6Hq.jpg This marks my first experience with L.A. O.G., and I must say, this bud has a highly appealing stink! It smells like a combination of fresh pine, magical forest musk, and aged cheese. In the vaporizer, the terpene profile comes off as piney and refreshing to my palette, though I doubt it is literally refreshing my foul breath, it just feels like it is, and that’s good enough. :P
The vapor stayed quite smooth and I found that it didn’t axe-murder my throat, or send me into a tuberculosis-level coughing fit. The bud itself was a work of art to behold--like a Jackson Pollock painting re-imagined as cannabis; just a load of colour and frosting to this dense beauty. The effects off of a 0.2g bowl were surprisingly dramatic, I found myself very relaxed and quite intoxicated without being tired or couch locked. It comes on quite strong, then tapers back to the more manageable level of “very stoned” after twenty minutes or so. Great stress reliever or after work-type bud! I had a fling with the L.A. O.G.--I found the effects potent, therapeutic, and long-lasting, and I have to agree with SpeedGreen’s AAAA letter grade.
My Rating: 5/5
Gorilla Glue #4: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (AAAA) https://i.imgur.com/zWDvFUi.jpg O-M-G, yep, this is quad GG#4 without a doubt, and another colourful specimen. I didn’t even want to put it in the grinder for fear of gumming it up like a tar pit, the tackiness is out of control. I think I could chuck this bud at a wall and it would stick, no problem. This particular bud es muy gordo (is very fat) and very dense, and because of the stickiness, might present a challenge to joint rollers. The aroma of SpeedGreen’s GG#4 is intoxicating--it’s a gorgeous, strong, piney/peppery-type deal, and I found myself shoving this one up my nose as well. Vapour is very dense and flavourful without being overpowering and I actually found it quite smooth for the potency. For those who know it, GG#4 is a bloody intense body stone, and I probably wouldn’t set my cannabis newbie friends sailing their first voyage on this yacht. For fanboys/girls of GG#4, this is top-tier, full quad, and you can expect a lot of potency here--trichomes are milky, might even be some amber in there, and the buds are RIPE. Fantastic weed, ‘nuff said.
My Rating: 5/5
Amnesia Lemon Kush: Hybrid (AAAA) https://i.imgur.com/9JgbeUA.jpg Amnesia Lemon Kush is purportedly a balanced hybrid, and it seems to have that happy, orangey appeal that some balanced hybrids present. I have to say, this is the single most complex and cool looking bud I have ever been in possession of. I’m not sure if this is what is defined as a “crown bud,” but it has nodes or bud tips jutting out at all angles, and is highly dense. Whoever was in charge of this grow is my new personal hero--identify yourself hero, so that I may exalt you! I didn’t want to vaporize it, it was too damn pristine, but alas, vaporized it was.
The ALK has a strong, sour smell to it that is very similar to haze strains. The terpene profile of both the bud aroma and the vapour flavour is potent and delicious! This is the best smelling and tasting bud that I tried among SpeedGreens strains, and I think I want more. The vapour that ALK produces is dense and long lasting--a 0.2g bowl in the vaporizer went well over one session in the Solo II.
A word on potency: I sampled the ALK only a short time after the GG#4, and my head felt doubly stoned, so there must be a great deal of potency in the ALK, to have stepped up on the GG#4! Actually, these two together made for a crazy good hybrid stone, I was high for a long, long-time. :)
This is my favourite of all the strains I tried at SpeedGreens, and it was a damn hard choice.
My Rating: Easy 5/5!
Blueberry Nuken Honeycomb Budder: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (AAAA) https://i.imgur.com/XOYI2gY.jpg Save the best for last, as they say, but in this case it was hard to do. This budder has a gorgeous stinky appeal that reminds me of a big-ol-bag of UK Cheese or something--it is highly pungent for a concentrate, and just I want to eat it (I did)! It has a nice terpene profile when dabbed--admittedly, I probably dab a bit too hot, so there is likely more flavour than I picked up on--but I found it just has a nice flavour, not exceptional, and doesn’t have that overwhelming flavour punch that leaves you drooling on the floor (just me?). Dabbing was super smooth, not a hiccup. The appearance is a classic golden/blonde honeycomb budder--it has a perfect consistency, it is easy to work with and to dab, and will tame the savage beast. The high is very relaxing; I had a headache when I started hitting dabs and it was gone after two, so it is certainly a pain/pressure reliever. I found this budder slightly more potent than the AAAA Jack Herer shatter, that I reviewed in part I. I was feeling the effects of a couple of smallish dabs for… how long I don’t know, because I was too stoned. I can’t afford to buy top-tier concentrates often, so I may not be the best judge of their potency, but I would happily pay $29/g for this again. If you are a concentrates user, and you like budder, you should give SpeedGreen’s a look, I think there are some great deals to be had on some exceptional (for the price) budders.
My Rating: 5/5 (Can’t find a fault here, excellent value!)
