The happy cross of *Biker Kush v2.0* x *Sour Diesel*, **Headbanger** is a powerful sativa-dominant hybrid with energetic, euphoric cerebral effects that can become mind-numbing. This particular batch arrived perfectly-fresh as scruffy, resinous small buds with minimal signs of handling and the sweet...ly-pungent aroma of skunky, gassy ‘kush.’ Following initial woody notes, this uplifting sativa eases into its pungent flavours of earth and fuel, with hints of berry sweetness as temperatures increase. Offering a long-lasting, clearheaded buzz that takes a few moments to kick in, this capable Headbanger can hit ‘between the eyes’ in higher doses.

Was fooled by its scraggly appearance initially, but def more potent than it looks + interesting in its range of effects, dependent on dosage

Arriving as highly-aromatic large nugs with irregular trim, this **Violator Kush** boasts an enticing nose of pungently-sweet, earthy musk. After initial woody, slightly-herbal notes, this indica-dominant hybrid eases into a subtly-sweet earthiness for most of the experience before becoming unfortun...ately acrid at higher temps. Offering strong, calming cerebral effects followed by (mild) physical relaxation, this batch of Violator Kush was of above-average potency and headier in its effects than usual for the strain.

Looking forward to trying some today + will double back in the evening with thoughts

Have bad news.. this was our favourite yesterday as we were jarring. Nuanced funky, fruit, sweet flavours from our first few bowls, but this was the tastiest of the strains we got from this KC drop. First time trying this strain, too, so this will be a fun review to write

Had a couple bowls of this Headbanger yesterday as we jarred and had another couple today so far:

More more potent than it looks for sure, as it’s a little scruffier than we’re used to from KC.. starts slightly-herbal and earthy, then an abundance of earthy fuel throughout most of the b...owl (170-186C or so), but not the tastiest at finishing temps (195C for this).

Strong, heady sativa-dom hybrid effects that can hit ’between the eyes’ and get buzzy in higher dosesSee More

A rare cultivar from famed breeders Exotic Genetix, this **Chocolatina #1** grown by Broke Kid Grows of The HighGrade Collective credits its impressive combination of top shelf characteristics to parents *Tina* x *Mint Chocolate Chip*. A visual stunner with some excess protective trim, this Chocolat...ina #1 arrived perfectly-fresh as sticky, caked medium nugs that showed minimal signs of handling. At lower temperatures, this Chocolatina #1 leads off with woody, slightly-herbal notes before easing into its distinctive flavour of earthy, chocolatey sweet gas for the remainder of the enjoyable experience. Hitting first with potent, relaxing cerebral effects before its (tingly) full-body buzz settles in, this indica-dominant hybrid is a great ‘couch lock’ strain that shouldn’t leave (experienced) users overly sedated.

This review written for our New Canadian Sources database features an up-and-coming source that has yet to become popularized or proven by community standards. As always, we encourage everyone to always do their due diligence – please visit our main **416 Strain Database** for trusted, established sources.

As Ghost Drops has been reliable + active within the community so far (since opening early-Dec), we will revisit GD’s possible inclusion in our primary database following the completion of a successful 4-week review period which will conclude on May 31st.

At this time, we’d also like to thank Ghost Drops for their generous April review package that also allows us to gift 28g of flower to our Cannabis for Good initiative. Very happy to say that this same Chocolatina #1 will be gifted as part of our May Giveaway contests posted at our site tomorrow!

Dope! Speed Greens was hyped about this batch of Death Bubba so I’m hoping it’s potent and as good as it looks and smells.

An attractive designer cut of mysterious Canadian origins, this **Tom Ford Pink Kush** arrived as well-covered large nugs with some excess trim. Boasting a sweet, earthy ‘kush’ aroma as raw flower, this Tom Ford Pink Kush leads with woody, gassy notes before maintaining a sweet, earthy stroke fo...r most of the smooth experience. Offering a calming euphoria followed by long-lasting physical relaxation, improved appetite and (mild) sedation, this batch of Tom Ford Pink Kush was fairly-potent and had effects akin to that of an indica-dominant hybrid.

This was Chocolatina #1

The specially-selected offspring of *Banana OG* x *Purple Punch*, this **Banana Punch** grown by Gastown Fire is by far the most unique-smelling flower we’ve enjoyed to date and is a true connoisseur’s delight. Arriving as dense, caked, medium nugs with some protective trim, this exquisite indic...a fills the room with its intoxicating aroma of overripe banana rinds and sweetly-pungent tropical fruit. Earning a rare perfect score in our ‘enjoyment’ category, this Banana Punch begins with a sharp, woody pungency before easing into into a smooth, tropical sweetness for the remainder of the experience. Offering a calm cerebral buzz followed by long-lasting physical relaxation, with dry eyes and dizziness as possible adverse effects, this potent indica earns our highest praise as the new standard atop our Canadian cannabis database.

Limited-run, difficult to source, not cheap, but just flat out amazing. Have loved this jar for weeks, but wanted to really make sure it deserved the new top spot =) Shouts to BHO for the timely recommendation, though it was sourced from FCM.

And with this review, today we proudly present the ‘finished’ first-edition of our **416 Strain Database** \- thank you for having been a part of the fun! (There’s a longer ’Thank You’ post at the site with info on what’s to come for those interested)See More
