This strain is very rarely it's true authentic lineage but il start by saying this was one of the better variations of this classic I've had in a while.
Appeal: 9/10 I will give it minus a point for the few la...rger Leafs I found on it but that's being overly critical. This was a beautiful, magnificent looking flower. Beautiful colour scheme flushing through it with a dusting of light beige brown kief just absolutely coating it. For an older drop flower as well this was stored great. Came very fresh and sticky but busted perfect. Cure was immaculate. Moisture level was my jam.
Nose: 8/10 nothing lacking other then how loud. I mean it just didn't reek up the room. But busted it gets louder. Absolutely true to its name in cherry aspect. Not bright and fruity cherry but a deep red cherry wine with a mix of earthy muskyness. Was a nice nose. Different not everyone's cup of tea.
Burn/taste : 10/10 as usual gems lso flower comes through in terms of burn and taste. Pure white ash maybe tiny bit of grey for those who care so much about ash(I believe if it's not needing to be relit or fully charcoal ash doesn't bug me but in form of review I grade it for anyone reading). Greasy oil ring. Nose Translates exact. Earthy musky rotting cherries with subtle sweet notes. Good smoke.
Potency: 7-8/10 not the most potent. Medium level potency. Effects come on quickly and are particularly long lasting with this one. Great medical choice for pain and anxiety/depression/ptsd. Immediately my shoulders drop and feel this tingly sense of pain floating away with no couch lock at all. And a slight hazy fog of positivity brushes over you. Leaving you super mellow and relaxed yet happy, euphoric and ready for the day. This is my perfect all day smoke as a heavy sedating indica lover.
Overall: 8/10 Value: 9-10/10 120$ a single zip. Less in bulk. With rewards etc this only ran 100$ for me on a single zip. So in effect one of the best 100$ zips I've grabbed in a while
Grown by LSO Gem Sourced by WeedPosters Genetics : Banana OG X Blissfull Destruction
Appeal: 9/10 long elongated white barely green from the frost nugs. Dense. Snappy on the outside but very sticky once busted. Was bummed as this wasn't the freshest but... once grinded it def sticks up nice. Not dry either. Absolutely dusted in kief and shiny trichs. not much green just pure exotic looking.
Nose: 10/10 I loved this nose. Straight up banana Terps with a creamy finish. Little gassy but def fruity banana creaminess. Very nice.
Burn/taste: 9/10 on this order again a very terpy smoke. Complex spicy rotting bananas with a weird creamy funky to it. Was a super interesting taste for me. Greasy oil ring on this. Snow White ash.
Potency: 7/10 this slapped right away. Heavy eyes. But almost a little energetic for me. Indica leaning but a good dose of sativa. Even heavy dosage this does not couch lock me.. as this mentionned it could but for all different experiences. This was a very nice smooth smoke forsure. A little clear-headed as well. But honestly this is a great all-day smoke amazing for anxiety.
Overall: 8/10 value : 8/10 this is prob 150-160 a zip. I wanna say 150. This is a good 150 option for any hybrid lover for an all-day smoke that's super terpy. Very clean tasting exotic. If your looking for heavy gas this is not it.
Kosher Kush Breath by Island Quads Sourced by WeedPosters
Genetics : Kush breath X Kosher Kush
Appeal: 10/10 I mean the pics don't even do justice this was a beauty. Small-medium sized conal shaped iced out sticky fresh nugs. Beautiful old school green with pointing orange... hairs covered in icy translucent coating. Little purple hues going on in behind. Lovely bud.
Nose: 10/10 in terms of loudness this was just beautiful. Very much old school vibes mixed in. Always loved kosher Kush and Kush breath. Not much of that gassy kushyness. But predominantly earthy dank skunkyness with a nice spicy vanilla sweetness mixed in.
Taste/burn: 9/10 the only reason I knock points is the taste dilutes midway or so. Otherwise very true to its nose. Creamy vanilla skunky inhale with a spicy earthyness to follow up. Earthy skunky spicy are dominant.
Potency: 7-8/10 this is subjective but in terms of slapping it lacked that ”oomf” punch ? to it. This was a great hybrid driven high. Starts off in the eyelids making them heavy with a euphoric blissfull hazyness fogging up your mental. And a bit of ”heavyness” in the limbs that make you utterly mellow. But not a KO or couchlock. But one thing with this is the peek of effects last long.
Overall: 8.5/10 value: 7/10 just potency vs price this lacked a bit but overall a bomb smoke and very terpy. Old school flavours.
Appeal: 10/10 typical with alot of Wiz crosses from gem. Absolutely gorgeous. Just very abundantly caked. Snow White cakedness with some long big elongated nugs. That super light green/white/caked out look. Very exotic looking herb.
...>Nose: 9/10 this was loud forsure. Super interesting nose. Creamy vanilla with some spice to it with that nutty funky finish from the wizard parent. Deep interesting nose. Levels to it.
Taste: 8/10 taste great but the translation wasn't perfect. It was very creamy and spicy. Those are all I got and became a little more muted as you get through a joint. But the spicy creamy Terps are very present. Burn was mostly white little pepper. Good oil ring.
Potency: 8/10 a much more indica driven wizard cross. Very euphoric and hazy. Confusion type of cloudy high. And nothing intense physically but definitely relaxs out your muscles and helps settle you down.
Overall: 8.5/10 this was a new wizard cross offering by Gem and I must say I'm a fan. Reminiscent high of the Wiz fritter but more indica driven and spicier Terps.
Value: 8-9/10 I think it's 120 a zip. Definitely an entry quad at a great tag
First Class Funk by Pacific Bud Boys Sourced by : WeedPosters
Appeal 9/10 this was beautiful perfect moisture perfect trim glissening buds. Mostly medium sized with some smalls. Just twinkling like a star in the sky at night. Nice shine to it. Beautiful dark green xmas tree colour with so...me orange hairs and slight purple hidden hues. Overall a nice looking flower.
Nose: 10/10 as promised. Super loud. This was such a stinking strain I just kept sniffing inhale after inhale. Truely funky to its name. First off a big slap of what I can explain as gassy burnt rubber. With a slight garlicky funkyness at the end. Dank. Straight loud Terps.
Taste/burn 10/10 again perfect here. Nose Translates with ease and perfection to taste. Immediately gassy and fuely with that burnt rubber and that noticeable GMO influence on the exhale. Suuuuper smooth. Pure white ash. All around pleasant smoke. Also very drippy greasy oil ring. Causing a super slow burn as well. Terps don't die out either terpy till your last puff.
Potency: 8/10 now this was potent. BUUUT I will say I've had more potent flower .. it has quite the punch I still think but this didn't knock me out as some said. It was very hybrid driven for me. So immediately gave me a euphoric boost. Awakened focus. But yet suuuuper mellow and relaxed. Great for evening IMO. Little too indica to be productive but not enough for bed. Is how I see this one. Nonetheless this was a great smoke.
Overall: 9/10 damn near perfect. Gas basket #3 and this on par. Value: 7/10 quite pricey but amazing smoke.
Appeal: 7.5-8/10 this was a nice batch to look at. Some purple hues. Dark green boulder dense nugs (this was all I had left by pic time lol) nice orange pistils popping out. Very well trimmed. That nice glissening trichom...e look a nice sticky indica has vs that caked out look. But overall nothing ”immaculate” just pretty bud.
Nose : 9/10 this was an amazing nose. Absolutely gas to the face. Nice deep dank earthy gas is what I got. Definitely a mega gas.
Taste: 8/10 taste translation was good. Very earthy dank gass. Almost reminded me of a more gassy Bubba Kush with a little citrus on the exhale. It was nice. Greasy oil ring. Little salt and pepper on the ash and taste became muted as it burned and I found the smoke to be a tad harsh. Nonetheless solid smoke.
Potency/effects: 10/10 this is where any minor bump along the experience gets made up for (the slightly less points on taste burn and appeal). This stuff was absolutely killer. One of my personal faves from WP. Last year tiger jet fuel F2 was so good. This was better for me. Absolutely slaps you in the face body and mental. Heavy eyes but a sativa like cerebral rush with super mellow strong body effects. 10 mins after that just absolutely melts your brain away. Unfocused, dazed, confused. And couchlock sets in perfect for a great physical relief and sleep.
Overall: 8.5-9/10 Value: 9/10 for the fact this is 150 a zip. With how stupidly potent it is. This was on some 200$ gas level.
Blissful Point Break LSO by LSO Gem Sourced from WeedPosters
Appeal: 10/10 as you can tell absolutely a banger. This was deeeep purple, light green big nugs and absolutely just CAKED in a blanket of thick white trichomes. Like confectioners sugar dipped. Almost borderline moonrock looking.... Squishy a bit not overly sense but sticky this round. Last round was dryer.
Nose: 8/10 good nose. Nothing overly loud. Great typical funky creaminess from that wizard cross with some sharp beautiful lemon citrus orange scents present. Very beautiful nose just subtle on how loud.
Burn/taste: 7/10 so this was tough for me to put a number. The taste was muted for me. Even more subtle then the nose. Wasn't harsh just lacked Terps. Too smooth. If the burn was bad this would be a much lower grade. I do 7 because the ash and burn is flawless. Typical with gems gear. White as can be. No oil ring really. Didn't wow me.
Potency/effects: 7/10 another bummer with this. To start...For me this was the epitome of a looker not a smoker. Overall if you have a lighter tolerance this would be solid especially for the cheap tag. But for me it will be an all day smoke and even then Minor effects. Euphoric heady onset with some overall mellow relaxation. Nothing that wowed me. For someone who wants a good all day smoke with a little less tolerance this could be it.
Overall: 7-7.5/10 Value: 8-9/10 I guess for value you definitely get a bang for your buck. 125-130 a zip before any discount is a very good tag for this. But at 150+ I would have been bothered.
Pure Michigan #1 by island quads Sourced by WeedPosters
Appeal: 10/10 absolutely perfect. Ridiculously caked up nugs. Trich heads intact as well. Very well handled. Beautiful hues of purple and white like confection sugar. Sticky fresh but dry enough where it busts up great. Perfect appea...l.
Nose: 10/10 the nose was beautiful. A great mix of almost a funky cakyness and gassy gravy? Hard to put my finger on the nose. But it was loud.
Burn/taste: 9/10 taste translation was not perfect but super great. Tastes like some earthy kushy gravy with a mix of funk. This was just such a unique profile. Burn was cigarette white.
Potency: 8/10 this was med-high level potency. Lovely euphoric blast without feeling energetic. Over a few minutes the high blasts and works its way down your whole body leaving you immaculately relaxed without couch lock. Great evening smoke.
Overall: 9/10 Value: 7/10 this was rather expensive as it's a small craft batch usually run for extracts and I can see why.
Appeal: 10/10 this really encompasses beauty in a flower. Good size medium nugs (I honestly smoked through my bag before snagging pics lol only had a couple left) but gorgeous trichomes filled green orange purple hued ...buds. Sticky fresh but perfect moisture level. Great look.
Nose: 10/10 the Terps on this are just ridiculous. Like absolutely abundantly loud. I get straight cookie burnt rubber gas. Best way to explain it. Unique Terps. Each listed thing I get on the nose comes through at once and so prominent. This was complex coagulation of off the charts deep scents and defined craft and exotic perfectly imo.
Taste/burn: 9/10 taste translation was near perfect. I feel imho the nose was louder and the taste ran out towards the end but this is if I'm being objectively critical without bias because I loved it so much. The taste was the same as the nose. Inhale was sweet and gassy and funky burnt rubber on the exhale. Taste lingers. Ash was white white. And stupid greasy. Excellent smoke.
Potency: 10/10 the potency on this was high level. Fast effects come on asap hitting the brain right away. Indica leaning but the sativa side shines through first. Almost had my hazy and foggy and confused where I had to lay down. Then not long after the indica end comes on and washes you down feeling utterly at peace and completely stuck feeling relaxed where your at.
Overall 10/10 perfect smoke. value : 7/10 this was cheaper elsewhere so the value will go up. And at QP elsewhere you can grab or could if it's sold out for 550 which at that point I'd rate this 8.5-9/10 on value.
