Lineage: Biscotti x Red Runtz

These gorgeous buds were pleasing to the eyes having such lovely bag appeal. Contrasted by lively colours they were absolutely drenched with layers of milky amber trichomes, so much that the light and medium green tones were somewhat hidden. Shaped like spad...es, the cure is well done though buds weren't too sticky, while structure was of medium density.

The terpene profile was complex and nicely pronounced with sharp notes of sweet, sour, and creamy tanginess, much like a tropical candied fruit. Undertones of funk, mint, and very subtle gas, that was almost fully disguised by the sharper fruit and tang notes. Flavour transition on the other hand left more to be desired, since it didn't have that same richness as the aromas. Guess I can say that transition wasn't bad, but definitely on the mild side. Just didn't have that pop of deep flavours therefore strength of flavour was bit lacking.

Smoke quality was very good without any harshness nor unpleasant taste, deeming a clean smooth burn. Joints combusted slow and even, also a little greasy to some extent. The ash was white/light grey in colour, no hotspots during the burn neither any major peppering.

From my experience the effects weren't too potent and more like average/mid potency. It's not a heavy hitter by any means, and won't have you feeling disoriented but rather fully functional during the entire buzz. Almost balanced yet just a tad indica leaning, but at no times did I feel lathargic or couch locked. I think it's best suited for daytime.

I would like to conclude this review by saying, aside from the lack in flavour transition, everything else was a pass. Bag appeal, nose, and smoke quality were great, but at the end of the day, it's nothing special that I would go out of my way for. As someone who values flavour and potency, it fell a bit short in those regards, unfortunately.

Kinda enjoyed the switch over to smalls, yeah I know it's not as great, but it really does help with my wallet. Eventually, I'll save for a nice treat maybe some PBB stuff between my newly found love for smalls. Poncho did a really great job with this one, I got that creamy fruit terps comin...g out of it, not sure if it was papaya or not, but quite sweet dank. A tad bit dry, but kind of expected from smalls. Should be even better after I jar it with a boveda.

Lineage: Chemdawg x Wedding Cake

Medellin doesn't seem to be anything special when comes to appearance having mostly an olive shade of green. There are few bits of purple on leaves, pistols carry a rusty orange colour, and buds are coated by a layer of white crystal trichomes. The cur...e is perfect they're very sticky, easily gumming up fingers. Very nice cripsy feel and snap on the outside and has the right amount of moisture when grounded. 

The terps are definitely one of the highlights. Rich, sharp, and pungent aromas of chemical gas along notes of lemon citrus & pine. There were also hints of sourness and dough. The flavour is more pungent than rich with a strong spicy and gassy draw, followed by a trail of pine, and sour dough at the backend. The doughiness seemed to linger throughout even on exhale. It's indeed a strong smoke and gives that tickle to the throat, especially when hitting the bong.

The burn quality was good overall, not harsh, and tasted clean despite not having a preferred light colour ash as it turned out to be salt and pepper. Decent burning properties and a little greasy at times.

Medellin slaps pretty darn good. The effects felt more balanced to me and it's one that's perfect for anytime except for bedtime, as it'll keep you awake with its very stimulating cerebral effects. A strain for creativity and productivity, not sedating in the slightest way, though the physical effects are notable, but on a lighter scale. There was a light to moderate amount of body relaxation as my mind was full of energy.

I'm glad that I was able to try this, it's a solid hybrid that checks most boxes. It gets my recommendation except if looking for a white colour ash. Picked up a quarter for $50 after points and coupons, and at that price, it's good value for what it is.

Omg, lol! This one was crazy. Starting off with how it looks, WOW! Totally caked... maybe more trichomes than there was green, crystals all over the cracks, nice and dense buds too. Smoke was pretty good too, a nice sweet creaminess, had that ”BERRY PUNCH” nose, but was lighter on smoke. Potency... is nice, smoke and burn was awesome. Quality 9.5/10 Value 9/10

Lineage: Cactus Breath × Lickz

I'm really digging these cactus strains! I thought Spiked Truffles was pretty good, but this is even better in most ways.

There's not much going on in terms of pretty colours, having just a base medium green tone, tiny amber-orange pist...ols, and white crystal trichomes. Buds are uniquely cone shaped and have some foxtailing occuring. Good cure and firm density, they do tend to bust out nicely when grounded.

Terps are predominantly on Runtz side, having sweet, creamy, candy, and funky notes, while the flavour strength is rich and moderate as I was able to taste each note distinctively. It was tasty, pungent, yet smooth, with sweet sour grapefruit notes along some skunkiness on inhale, ending on an earthy exhale. Definitely a stronger taste and flavour transition than Spiked Truffles.

No issues with overall smoke quality. A slow and even burn, joints stayed lit, had easily produced a resin ring, and the ash was light grey.

The potency and effects are strong, more so than Spiked Truffles. I was absolutely care free with a foggy hazey mind, while limbs and body felt profoundly relieved as I was in a couch locked state. There was some sleepiness kicking in after some time leading to a great night's rest.

Cactus Genetics seems like a competent grower. Spiked Truffles and Cautus Licker were wonderful to say the least. It was a good experience so far, and I look foward to his other drops.
