Hey all, got this a couple days ago, as always very fast shipping and saved a ton with coupons.

This is my first time trying Cookies grower but I had heard good things and wanted to try something new and more indica to balance out the red congo purchase.

The smell is straight ...greasy, kushy, gas with the slightest tinge of sweetness from real GSC kush outcrosses. very pungent and can be smelled through their bags just by pressing it a bit.

Flavour is very similar, straight greasy kush and heavy resin. In fact, smoking this it felt like my throat and lungs were being coated in resin like how it feels to take a dab. Not dry harsh by any means, but that heavy greasy smoke feeling that can catch your lungs off guard.

Ash was nicely light grey to white and it smoked perfectly.

The high is definitely strong on this one and gets me nicely relaxed and squinty. I get the thing where you try to open your eyes more but you just end up raising your eyebrows haha. Definitely indica dominant but with enough hybrid to not make me too sleepy. Great weed to watch comedies.

Overall, impressed with cookies grower's work and stoked to try more in the future. It is a bit expensive, but with the coupons it was definitely more then worth it.

It had been about 2 years since I last smoked red congo and it was always one of my favourites. The flavour is like no other, and is one more beautiful unique creation from Charles/Dave Scott (aka Reeferman). Been told for a second how the Red Congo from HGA was one of the best sativas on the MOM ma...rket and was waiting for the right time to try some. The time has come!

The smell on this stuff is beautiful and just like I remember. It has that classic terpinolene-haze smell like a good super silver haze, with overtones of cucumbers and sweet flower blossoms with a hint of pine and hash in the back.

Taste on it is half there, but is muted much more then I was happy with by that general burning/cardboard taste. It really had more of the vibe of a rushed grow then I was expecting. The ash was very dark too (salt and pepper inside, pure black around the sides) and it was definitely a bit harsh. The smoking experience itself was overall not bad, but I would have been disappointed if I paid 150/oz for this level of flavour/smoking experience, let alone 280+.

The quality of high on this strain, I suppose, is where it really stands out. It is a nice euphoric sativa dominant high, not the strongest I have had (smoked 1g to my face too), though it is definitely stronger then your average strain. It was a bit more lazy of a vibe then I wanted, but once I started moving it didn't stop me from doing what I needed to do.

Overall, it's a nice strain and definitely worth trying if you've never had a red congo before, but I would value this at maybe 140/zip not 280. It's unfortunate that this is considered to be one of the best buds on offer for sativas in Canada, I hope everyone who likes it gets to try something better. Maybe I just got a crap batch, but I would not recommend it.

Whoa, so this one took me by surprise actually. It looked beautiful online and like a perfect example of a quad sativa dominant hybrid bud. very high calyx to leaf ratio, nice little foxtail nublets, caked too, and the appearances do not lack, though it has more purpling in the buds then you might e...xpect for such a sativa strain. The buds were very large too, no smalls.

The smell and taste of this strain is more like a 70/30 indica dom strain, has mostly earthy smells and taste with a touch of sweetness and cheap kush. The flavour is mostly flat earthy/cheap kush with a bit of purple/grape and sweetness. Definitely not what it's supposed to smell or taste like by a long shot. none of the amnesia flavours are present, and I honestly cant taste or smell any sativa smells off it whatsoever, and have familiarity with many before. not my first time with this strain and I don't know what else to say except that it seems like someone made up the name. Cant say if it was the grower or the distributor, but despite the beauty of this strain, someone should have noticed that something was off about it.

The high on this is like an indica dominant high, I would call it about 70/30 indica dom too. No stimulation, euphoria or energy whatsoever but it doesn't make me tired or sleepy per se either. It was the more expensive of the 2 I bought but was not my first choice for smoke. I mostly smoked it for its general strength when I needed a quick t boost off the bong, but it didn't have enough personality to really interest me.

Overall didn't get the best impression from this outfit. I've since heard that they misrepresent strains, but also just from reaching out to customer service about a different issue, I got the feeling they couldn't care less about me and changed their story on me a couple times. Too many outfits to support shady stuff like that. That about sums it up.

So I ordered a couple strains from them and this one was definitely the highlight. It does have a bit of that 2 year old bud smell in the jar, but broken up it turns more into a proper citrusy sweet fruit smell evenly mixed with some earthiness with a kush back. A couple times doing bong sessions I ...was smelling kush in the air and looking for the pile. It was just this weed though.

Translates decently to taste and makes an overall upbeat euphoric high, fairly relaxing and balanced, but mostly euphoric and good vibes, kinda like a blue dream high. It was fairly strong, nothing crazy though.

I got a decent price for it, but wouldn't go seeking it out again. Had some mimosa going that I paid the same price for and it was all this strain was and more, so nothing too special.

Also, I have to say I didn't get the impression the weed posters people cared much about keeping me as a customer. I had an issue, and they responded, but all of their responses were very weak and they changed their story on me a couple times. Also the other strain I bought was misrepresented as a different strain, but matches the picture on the website. Not much interest in doing business with them again.

Buds are beautiful and range from small to medium size in my half ounce. Initial smells off the bud is chocolate cake/mousse turning to gas/kush and good afghan hash. On smoking I can actually taste the chocolate mousse, like a rounded chocolate flavour hard to describe otherwise. Also reminds me of... chocolate croissants with kush, hash and bit of black licorice. Nice flavour that carries through to near the end of the joint and comes through on smoking bowls nicely as well. Didn't get any resin rings though. High is strong all together and is mostly indica, relaxing, but also euphoric and giggly a bit too. It wasn't sleepy necessarily, but was relaxing. Perfect for relieving stress and watching movies. Worth trying for sure. I would call it a quad. Quality: 8.5/10 Value: 7.5/10

The Blue Cheese had great smell to it, classic cheesey smell, although not as super stinky and complete funky cheese to blueberry juice, it still had that cheesey nose. It's not anything crazy to look at, no serious frost, but the buds are big, dense and not leafy at all. Taste on smoking was no...t there, joint or bong. It has a bit of a pleasant earthiness to it, but none of the cheesey smell carries through to taste from my experience. This was a let down as I find the cheese flavour immensely satisfying. However, I did find that the high was very nice and gave me the classic blue cheese high; it makes my eyes squinty and makes me not be able to stop smiling, appreciating the humour in the absurdities of everything. So, overall it was a great value since I only paid less then 110 delivery included for a z of 4 different strains, this one included. You can stack the referral and new20 coupons fyi Bag appeal: 7/10 (leniancy for it being a cheese strain) Smell: 7.5/10 Taste: 5/10 Potency: 7/10 Effects: 8/10 Overall: 6.5/10 Value: 8/10

The Hawaiian Punch was the star of my purchase with Top Shelf BC. I did the double stacking of the coupons and got a nice variety pack at a great price (under 110/z dleivered) but this was the best of the bunch. It has a sweet slightly spicy tropical smell, almost similar to the sweet romulan, but l...ess sweet and more tropical spicy with some fresh smells and just a hint of something like bubba kush sweet kushy earthiness in the back. The flavour does fully come through as well, and isn't too harsh, despite the excess leaves. The high is also on point, being a nice euphoric strain perfect for the day. A bit dazey, but stimulating and still leading to the ability to be productive, despite it's potency. My favourite, and over 5 grams of it was one big bud. Didn't hurt. Appearance: 7/10 (picture doesn't do it justice, it's very caked despite the extra leaves too) Smell: 8/10 Taste: 8/10 Potency: 7.5/10 Effects: 8/10 Overall: 7.8/10 Value: 8.5/10

Was thinking of trying this out how was it?

The OG Shark smalls were a bit of a let down. They looked so nice and were just marked as the smalls of a AAAA, so I threw it i to the ounce combo. Appearance is great for smalls, very crystally despite the extra leaves and smaller size, the taste and smell, however, were more like old weed that los...t it's original flavour. It is decently potent though and is not too indica for the day time, but overall is my least favourite of the selections I got. Appearance: 7.5/10 Smell: 5/10 Taste: 5/10 Potency: 7.5/10 Effects: 7/10 Overall: 6/10 Value: 7/10
