Got this as a value selection a while back and really enjoy just smelling the jar from time to time - sour, citrusy, skunky goodness

Arrived as loose, slightly leafy medium nugs of good humidity, not a particularly long-lasting experience (maybe 7 or 7.25 Potency in our Database scale), b...ut this California Orange is still an enjoyable daytimer.. Would kind of compare its effects to a mild cup of coffee, uplifting with a happy jolt

Starts chemmy, citrusy and sweet, becomes skunky, hashy and slightly spicy while maintaining a nice citrusy pungency throughout with only a touch of harshness

(If you told me this was Citrus Skunk, I'd be none the wiser - smells and tastes pretty similar)

Arriving slightly dry as strikingly purple large nugs with some signs of handling, these Tropicanna Cookies (GSC x Tangie) have an enticing aroma of sweet oranges over woody, vanilla kush in the jar. This sativa-dominant hybrid begins as woody, citrusy sweet gas, moving past some grainy, peppery mom...ents to maintain a doughy, orange-flavoured sweetness throughout the smooth experience. Offering a modest cerebral buzz that settles slowly as stoney but functional relaxation, with dry eyes as a likely adverse effect, these Tropicanna Cookies were of average potency.

Before I get into the review, just wanted to say a quick thanks to the mods/organizers who've kept this place running over time - I'm a fan of the recent changes and hope all reviewers can learn that being transparent will usually work out better than turtling. Since even before I started wr...iting reviews, I could see that many of the posters in this sub were compensated via discounts or free product for their reviews, and a lot of times it's even sources themselves writing bogus reviews under fake accounts ^.^

My point is, everyone reading this sub (or the internet) should continue using their discretion and keep in mind who has generally been dishonest about these things in the past, and who may likely continue to be. I don't have as much time to write as I used to, but will continue providing full disclosure wherever necessary while continuing to gift more than we accept for review, which effectively negates our incentives by choice.

Arriving as dense, well-trimmed medium nugs covered with bright orange pistils and frosty trichomes over a base of purple and green, this Forbidden Fruit (Cherrie Pie x Tangie) has an intoxicating aroma of earthy berries and sweet tropical fruit in the jar. This indica-dominant hybrid begins as a woody, chemmy sweetness complemented by a gassy, berry musk before maintaining grainy, pie-like flavours throughout the mostly smooth experience, with occasional splashes of diesel. Offering a blissful, slightly stoney cerebral buzz that settles as lazy relaxation with possible sedation in higher doses, this Forbidden Fruit was of above-average potency.

Arriving slightly dry as resinous large nugs with tidy trim, this Grease Monkey (Cookies and Cream x GG4) has a sweetly sour, earthy freshness in the jar, becoming gassier when ground. This indica-leaning hybrid begins as a woody, gassy sweetness that becomes stingingly pungent before transitioning ...through some grainy, peppery moments, and finally maintaining an earthy, gassy, and doughy sweetness for the remainder of the smooth experience. Offering a moderate initial cerebral buzz that descends into stoney, mellow relaxation, this Grease Monkey was of average potency.

Arriving as highly resinous medium nugs showing moderate signs of handling, this Cherry Sherbet (Cherry Pie x Sour Sherbet) has an inviting aroma of sour, tangy fruit over a cake-like, sweet musk in the jar. This indica-leaning hybrid leads with a woody, fruity sweetness complemented by a sharp gass...y pungency and some surprising harshness before settling as doughy, berry-flavoured baked goods, and finally concluding as grainy, peppery diesel. Offering strong, spacey cerebral effects that subside as physical relaxation, improved appetite, and mild sedation, this Cherry Sherbet was effectively potent and is well suited for afternoons and evenings.

First observation is that these are likely two diff phenos? They smell pretty similar, but this will be written from trying the less-impressive and leafier green nug. Some visible spider mite damage can be seen in both nugs, with a corresponding deduction in the scoring

Do-Si-Dos (OGKB GS...C x Face Off OG) has traditionally been a preferred hybrid for its tendency to offer balanced, functional relaxation, an enjoyable body buzz, and some cerebral stimulation so was excited to see this included for review

Nugs are still slightly sticky to the touch, with a woody, earthy, and slightly herbal sweetness in jar, becoming much nuttier and gassier when ground. Experience begins as a woody, perfumey/floral and slightly dank sweetness, then settles as a familiar earthy, gassy, kushy sweetness and finishes as peppery diesel. (The early floral notes are not my favourite, personally, but then the gas comes in to balance things out)

Some cerebral euphoria at first but mostly a functional stone with a modest body buzz that creeps in over time. Prob 8.25 or 8.5 Potency in our Database scale as of now. Overall quite enjoyed this indica-leaning hybrid - the cerebral buzz creeps in more and more over time in an overall-relaxing experience

Arriving slightly dry as dense, highly resinous small-to-medium nugs with tidy trim, this LA Kush Cake (Wedding Cake x Kush Mints) cultivated by Broke Kid Grows has a cake-like fragrance of minty, sweet kush in the jar. This indica-dominant hybrid begins as a woody, creamy sweetness matched by a sat...isfying gassy pungency before maintaing flavours of milky vanilla wafers throughout the mostly smooth experience, finally concluding as a peppery, doughy sweetness with a splash of diesel. Offering a modest blast of euphoria followed by sociable, functional relaxation and improved appetite without much sedation, this LA Kush Cake was of above-average potency.

This first dropped in Feb or March I believe, but I got the re-up batch as part of their 4/20 promo and I'm pretty sure this will end up being my favourite of what we tried from this source in April

Listed as the sativa-dominant offspring of Sour Diesel x Blackberry x White Widow x an... unknown Thai sativa, this Crown Chakra arrived slightly dry but with a pronounced nose that is woody, musky and herbal, with an underlying sweetness in the jar. Really attractive, highly resinous medium nugs that came in chunky, funky shapes - I felt horrible about breaking these nugs down. Found this fairly smooth and quite flavourful along the same lines as its aroma, though it's a bit harder to describe all of the sour and fruity notes on this, likely 9 Enjoyment score

Would describe the experience as an uplifting but slightly stony/foggy cerebral buzz that builds and builds over time before descending as physical relaxation and improved appetite, with a tiny bit of burnout.. I happened to try/review this alongside some Violet Vixen from the same source, and I found that hybrid to be more heady and uplifting, with this Crown Chakra feeling more like a balanced strain between the two

Excited to get to know this better over time, but have really enjoyed photographing this cultivar while getting acclimated to new equipment - kudos to the grower + source for getting such beautiful flowers to us with minimal signs of handling

Arriving as resinous small-to-medium nugs with a bright, sweetly-pungent aroma of woody, musky pine and sweet grains, these Crunch Berries (DJ Short's Blueberry x male Triple OG) aren't very impressive visually despite being of good humidity.. I think the cultivar's lack of luster and sl...ight yellow-ness is from its organic grow approach, but I'm not certain - apologies to the source that I've not really taken any studio images I'm happy with of this cultivar so far

The experience starts as a bright, chemmy, woody sweetness that is quite distinctive to these genetics before settling into an earthy, woody, cereal-like profile with hints of sweet gas, and finally concluding as a grainy, peppery finish with a splash of fruit. There's a touch of onset harshness that sometimes makes me cough, but the back half of this experience is very smooth and flavourful, with Crunch Berries being a tasty, familiar strain that I think most would enjoy. Likely 9 or possible 9.5 Enjoyment score

It hits a little harder than I would typically expect of this strain and I'd describe its effects as being a satisfying euphoric stone with a bit of energy, definite improved appetite, and only slight burnout if over-consumed. Good all-around indica-dominant or indica-leaning hybrid to be enjoyed at all hours of the day without too much sedation, but also suitable as a relaxing night-cap before bed

Arriving as a giant purple nug with long bright orange pistils plus some smaller nugs to complete the weight, this Woolly Mammoth (LA Confidential x Snowcap) has a modest aroma of woody, slightly berry-sweetened baked goods in the jar.. Not super loud, but its nose has grown on me over time
...r/>Flavour-wise, this begins mostly woody, musky before settling into an unexceptional earthy sweetness with surprising splashes of berries and baked goods at the end.. In terms of the experience, this balanced cultivar turns out to be right up my alley as a euphoric experience that hits fairly quickly before slowly subsiding into some physical relaxation, more heady than I was expecting which is always appreciated. Overall I think I enjoy the experience more than the flavour profile on this one, solid daytimer

Always a pleasure photographing beautiful purple buds as well - the colours really jump out in the macro images, really glad to have experienced this cultivar
