A well-recognized cultivar in Canadian cannabis, this **Violator Kush** from the Sacred Garden Collective arrived on the dry side as dense, medium nugs covered in resin, showing minimal signs of handling. Reminding us of our memorable first experience with this excellent indica, this Violator Kush h...as an enticing aroma of sweetly-pungent, musky pine and a dash of spice. Leading off with woody, herbal notes, this Violator Kush then eases into an enjoyable, musky sweetness as temperatures increase, maintaining its rich flavour for most of the experience. Offering immediate cerebral euphoria followed by long-lasting physical relaxation, this batch of Violator Kush has the effects of a potent indica-dominant hybrid.

Not as perfect as the Nov batch, but still very good - def a little lighter in flavour, aroma in comparison. Headier, more balanced effects also. It’s interesting looking at the subtle colouration differences between the two batches (close-up photos at the site) and we had a lot of fun working on this review and comparing it with the previous, which was one of our first formal reviews on the site.

Reviewer’s Note: This review was made possible through a generous community gift from our friend WR in BC. As our site is but an expression of our own appreciation for Canadian cannabis that we are sharing with others, we are incredibly humbled by this locally-sourced community gift which represents the completion of that circle. <3See More

Arriving on the dry side as attractive large nugs, this **Mint Chocolate Chip** boasts a pleasant, sweetly-pungent aroma of nutty baked goods. After initial dank, earthy notes (with hints of mint and vanilla), this complex Mint Chocolate Chip transitions into an enjoyable, doughy sweetness with slig...htly-spicy undertones as temperatures increase, until finally a unique ‘roasted’ flavour emerges at the end. Offering quick-hitting, spacey cerebral effects followed by deep physical relaxation, this balanced hybrid is ideal for daytime use, with dry eyes as a possible adverse effect.

The genetic offspring of *White Widow* x *Girl Scout Cookies*, this **White Cookies** arrived on the dry side as well-trimmed, small-to-medium buds with a sweetly-pungent aroma of minty baked goods. Leading with woody, slightly-floral notes of vanilla, this White Cookies soon eases into its familiar... ‘Cookies’ profile of doughy, earthy sweetness, with a spicy, peppery kick at higher temps. Solid but unexceptional, this moderate indica-dominant hybrid offers a light cerebral buzz followed by general relaxation and increased appetite, with dry eyes as a possible adverse effect.

Not one of my faves from KC over the last little while, but still solid + decent value with their monthly menu update promos. Would be a good option for someone who really likes Cookies strains, I personally find these flavours a bit stale now.

Bred by Capulator, **MAC #1** (aka Miracle Alien Cookies) is the famed cross of *Alien Cookies* with a hybrid of *Columbian* x *Starfighter* parents. This MAC #1 grown by the Coastal Craft Collective arrived as beautiful, large, sticky nugs, showing minimal signs of handling, with a pleasant aroma o...f sour citrus and sweet musk. Leading off as skunky, sweet gas with bright citrus overtones, this MAC #1 maintains its pungent aroma throughout the experience, finishing with a slightly-spicy, sweet earthiness. Offering strong cerebral effects followed by mostly-functional relaxation with only a slight slowdown, this balanced hybrid has above-average potency.

The delicious cross of *Miami Haze* x *Cookies and Cream*, this Living Soil **Hazelnut Cream** arrived as large, dense, well-trimmed colas with subdued olive-green colouration. Impressively, this sativa-dominant hybrid has a sour, sweetly-pungent aroma of nutty baked goods that translates to its tas...te as well. As temperatures increase, the creamy sweetness of this Hazelnut Cream becomes slightly-spicy for a few pulls, before finally easing into an enjoyable ‘roasted’ sweetness for the remainder of the experience. Following an immediate cerebral rush and a sense of alertness, this Hazelnut Cream offers long-lasting mental relaxation that may become sedative if overused, with increased anxiety as a possible adverse effect.

Tasty little sativa-hybrid with some comedown, buds were very dense, great value (esp if you got it with KC’s monthly sale). Potency is between 8 and 8.5, but being conservative for now.

A classic indica with unique therapeutic properties, this **Romulan** arrived as mostly small buds (with two large nugs thrown in), possessing an incredible aroma of sweetly-pungent, skunky pine. While unremarkable in appearance, this well-cured Romulan leads with a woody taste of fresh pine before ...easing into and maintaining its clean, earthy sweetness for the remainder of the enjoyable experience. Offering spacey, immediate cerebral effects followed by moderate physical relaxation, this batch of Romulan was below average potency for the strain.

Reviewer’s Note: Though we haven’t come across any seeds from the buds we’ve broken up (a quarter of the bag) at the time of this review, two surface seeds can be seen on the nug seen in the last two photos at the site and could explain the low potency.See More

The tantalizing cross of pure-bred *Jager* x full-sativa *Strawberry*, this exciting new hybrid offers a subdued dose of *Jager*‘s intense physical relaxation with a splash of *Strawberry*‘s mild-but-enjoyable headiness. Arriving as caked, medium/large nugs with an impeccable trim, this **Strawb...erry Jager** has a musky aroma of sour strawberries with hints of sugar and spice. Those same sour fruity notes greet you upon intake, easing into a rich, earthy/pungent experience before fading into a lightly-spicy sweet earthiness at the end. Offering gently-uplifting cerebral effects before overall relaxation and mild (eventual) burnout, this Strawberry Jager has the effects of an indica-leaning hybrid of above-average potency.

Have already been asked this so will answer before it’s asked again haha: I personally prefer the original Jager from KC for its impressive potency and efficacy in dealing with physical pain/anxiety. That strain isn’t scored much higher at our **416 Strain Database** because it was from an experience back in Nov (before our site) + arrived slightly-dry, but is def more potent. With that said, this new Strawberry Jager cross is outstanding bud and a good choice for someone looking for a tasty relaxing hybrid. Potency is between 8 and 8.5, but I’ll err on the side of being conservative for now.

An aromatic treat sure to remind many of the delicious brunch beverage of the same name, **Mimosa** is the highly-enjoyable mystery cross of *Purple Punch* x *Clementine*. Generally regarded as one of the nicer-smelling strains available, this Mimosa grown by Gastown Fire arrived as caked, small-to-...medium nugs with mostly-tidy trim. Grinding up the beautiful buds only uncovers more of the strain’s well-cultivated magic, releasing its fantastic aroma of creamy exotic fruit with a splash of doughy sweetness. After intoxicating early notes of sweet citrus, this Mimosa soon fades into a generic roasted sweetness for the remainder of the experience. Ideal for daytime use, this sativa offers uplifting, energizing cerebral effects of above-average potency, with dry eyes, increased anxiety, and mild (eventual) burnout as possible adverse effects.

The tasty cross of classic strains *Larry OG* x *Grand Daddy Purp*, this **Purple Punch** arrived as attractive, well-trimmed large nugs with a pleasing aroma of sweetly-pungent, dank berries. Starting with musky/earthy notes, this Purple Punch then passes through various berry flavours, maintaining... its sweet stroke throughout the enjoyable experience. Offering mellow relaxation, appetite enhancement and mild sedation of moderate potency, this indica is ideal for evening use.

Arriving as attractive medium-to-large nugs with a clean trim, this **Blue Mango** has a faint blueberry aroma, with a splash of earthy dankness. Grinding up the robust, well-grown bud releases more of its fruity sweetness, and this Blue Mango leads off with woody, earthy notes before easing into a ...sweet undertone of pleasing blueberry and tropical fruit as temperatures increase. This balanced indica-leaning hybrid can be a bit of a creeper with its long-lasting relaxation, appetite enhancement and sedative properties of moderate potency, making it an ideal evening strain.
