Overall rating out of 10:
7/10
Ordering & Pricing:
I ordered a small sample package, which required a quick signup via the website. No ID was required. The website is fast, minimalist, and clean, though admittedly I didn’t spend much time on it.
Communication:
I have been communicating with BO420 via discord for a week or so, and he/they are very open to questions and queries, they seem genuinely upfront with product issues to their customer base: case in point, a PM issue was discovered with a strain that had been sent to me, and I was contacted prior to my receiving the product, and asked to discard it with replacement coming on a future order. I was satisfied with this offer, and I am always much more happy to have an honest proprietor contact me about issues than try to hide them; the honesty in that action should be underscored.
Packaging:
Shipping was ultra-fast, and packaging was excellent; double vacuum sealed, plus fully sealed mylar bags inside of a discreet shipping box.

Rockstar:

Nose/Flavour: This is nice gassy smelling and tasting Rockstar. It’s quite pungent out of the bag and gets stronger in a buster. This rockstar tasted pretty great through a dynavap and smoked very smoothly.
Trim/Cure/Density: Trim is excellent, though the sample buds were very small. The density was high and the cure seems excellent; once torn into, the buds seem nice and fresh at the interior.
Lift/Buzz: Classic rockstar buzz. Very relaxing, anxiety reducing strain for me. I like to keep this strain on hand to take the edge off, and though these were just small sample buds, they packed a good punch and I’d like to see what the bigger buds have to offer.
Potency/Quality: Given the small size of the sample buds I received, I wouldn’t go higher than a AAA rating for this Rockstar in terms of it’s wow factor, but the potency is more like AAA+, and again, I’d like to see what a bigger bag with bigger buds has to offer.
Vapour Quality: Gassy and smooth, zero coughing.
Overall: 7.8/10 (Potential to be higher, I just didn’t get to see any really nice examples of this cut, having only bought samples).
Death Bubbe:

Nose/Flavour: The death bubba terps are on point with this cut; to me, a mix of gassy and earthy terps, very fresh and appealing.
Trim/Cure/Density: All were excellent. The trim is tight, the density is nice and high, and the cure is excellent. Dank and sticky when broken up.
Lift/Buzz: Proper indica, this cut has a relaxing, deep, body stone, without being too couchlocky or sleepy (in reasonable amounts ;). I’ve had many examples of Death Bubba, good and bad, and this definitely rates among the better of them.
Potency/Quality: It’s good and potent, and if I had to swing at a grade, I’d say probably AAA+, maybe even eeking into AAAA-.
Vapour Quality: Smooth and terpy, not a single hiccup.
Overall: 8.2/10 (potential to go higher with larger buds/tops/colas)
Sour Grapes:

Nose/Flavour: The nose and flavour are interesting, in a different kind of way. I definitely get the sour grape thing; sort of an oddball sweet and sour taste and smell, which is a welcome change from kushes, pinks and the like.
Trim/Cure/Density: Trim seems OKAY, could definitely be better. The density is medium I’d say. And I can’t really comment to the cure as this bud seems old to me. Not quite butrot old, but definitely heavily oxidized old; seen as the brown colouration in the photo.
Lift/Buzz: It’s a cool hybrid buzz--body and head stone near equal seeming. I kind of wish my sample had been nicer quality because the lineage of this cross is awesome, but I think that this cut’s primo magic has been lost to the air.
Potency/Quality: Probably AAA-, AAA at BEST. It’s just too oxidized to be very good.
Vapour Quality: In a vape its smooth, but in a joint its harsh AF with dark ash.
Overall: 6/10… it does have an interesting smell, flavour, and buzz, but it’s well past it’s prime.
Grapefruit Haze Cart:

Flavour: I absolutely pickup on the grapefruit, which I am not a huge fan of, but the taste is accurate at least.
Lift/Buzz: Strong ass haze stone. Very heady and cloudy. I love the high on this stuff.
Potency/Quality: I don’t have a lot of experience with carts, but this rates as fairly potent even among all the shatters, distillates, diamonds, etc, I have tried. It’s good and strong and I am a fan.
Vapour Quality: At first I found it very harsh, then I turned my battery power setting to its lowest and took small, small rips. Once I figured that out, I actually find it fairly smooth and enjoyable.
Overall: 8.5/10
Rockstar Shatter? (Not Shatter, Sugar at Best)::

Nose/Flavour: While terpy, I find the terps on this SUGAR to be a little strange. It’s definitely not the same gas thats coming off of their Rockstar bud, and it isn’t completely unappealing, it’s just a little weird. Goes for both smell and taste.
Lift/Buzz: Nice and potent Rockstar buzz. I was actually a little surprised by the potency for a $19/g sugar, that I became quite as relaxed and intoxicated as I did.
Potency/Quality: Don’t let the weird nacho cheese colour fool you, this stuff is fairly strong, and at $19/g, a pretty solid value.
Dab Quality: Fairly smooth, bit of a weird aftertaste, not sure about residue cause my banger is always filthy.
Overall: 7.5/10
Incentive for Customers:
Good pricing on all products. Sample packages have been available for some who inquire.
Incentive for Review:
Nope, just due diligence. It's a new mom, so it's nice when people post their experiences.
Notes:
I have had a number of conversations with BlowOut420 on discord in DM, and I get the feeling of honesty and genuineness. There are some growing pains happening here; out of the 4 strains I was sent, one was old and not very impressive, and one was disclaimed as having PM. The other two strains, however, show some good promise--though my samples were small, I wouldn’t hesitate to order an oz of that Death Bubba at the current price of $99, in fact, I might. At $19 a gram, the sugar is a good value, but they do need to learn the difference between sugar and shatter, especially if these are promo prices and they hope to charge more for it in the future. The cart I don’t really have any complaints about, its nice stuff and I think most of my initial harshness experience was due to my own user error. Overall, I think BlowOut420 has solid ethics in place, and they are sorting out the new business end. I will continue to follow their progress and am likely to make a further order down the road once they work out their grower kinks.
