HGA continues to surprise me with their quality bud and selections. I had many to try this time (GWIZ, Infinity Star, Forum GSC...) but the star of the show was the Mac 1.
...>Appearance: Best I've ever seen from HGA as it's frosty and decent sized nugs. Well trimmed imo.
Aroma: Smells like hints of kush-like bud. None of that grassy, lemony, type of smells associated with sativa/uplifting/energizing strains.
Flavour: Can't tell if there's any flavours at all! Tastes like regular bud with nothing special, maybe a peppery aftertaste?
Effect: It's become my favorite strain as it's a great daytime weed if you smoke just right - giving you a blissful feeling and a constant stream of thoughts and ideas. Problem when you smoke slightly too much is that I forget how to vocally piece together words and sentences. Smoke heavily enough and I would feel lost in happiness, with no words or thoughts at all.
Looking forward to trying their current MAC 1 and making a repeat order on the next Cookies Grower release.
Late post as I had smoked sparingly through my last haul of variety packs from HGA. It took me a while to eventually come up with the one (of six) that I liked best.
Death Mint Cookies is a familiar strain commonly found at HGA. It starts with a slow, gradual body high that eventually... numbs your thoughts and keeps you sinking into the couch. You'll want to keep lots of water around for the dry mouth effects. I found the dry mouth comes on stronger compared to other ”cookies” and munchies-inducing strains but that's why I also enjoyed this one the most.
Appearance wise wasn't too bad. Advertised as ”smalls-mediums” and bought together with another strain as a 7g variety pack (so 3.5g). Dry bud but smokes smooth and not harsh.
This was my second time smoking this strain from HGA and I would recommend trying this if you haven't already. I'll most likely be picking this up every time I place an order.
Bought a 1/4 oz. during their Christmas sale and it arrived in 2-3 business days - unreal shipping speeds from HGA/CP.
After I opened the package, the smell of lemon hits me immediately and I can’t help but think of a lemon cleaner scent. I haven’t smoked anything that smelled this st...rong so I hope it’s natural. The bud sizes were small - medium with many that are longer in shape. Tiny bit sticky and not crumbly but it grinds fairly easy.
Vaping it gave a huge taste of lemon flavour. I really enjoyed the high as well since it was gradual and welcoming cerebral experience. A sativa head high rather than a body high. Lots of thoughts can be racing in my head but also be mellow at the same time. I’d often lose track of time and forget my words = getting spaced out. Bit of dry mouth.
Overall a great experience! I’d recommend trying this if you’re looking for a sativa or daytime weed. If you smoke just the right amount you might enjoy it’s focus-inducing effects alongside creativity. I smoked a bit too much now and near passed out. It’s a fun daytime strain if you don’t have anything planned for the afternoon.
I’ve tried the Death Mint Cookies and Earth Bind Cookies from HGA before buying this. I received the order quickly (2 days BC-AB) on September 10 and didn’t get around to smoking it until a week later. I would’ve made a post earlier but... every time I smoke this, I’d either forget or zone out completely into another activity. Absolute banger.
The smell is incredible (heavy kush like indica type) and the taste isn’t that bad. I didn’t end up coughing up a lung like I expected with the amount of crystals on it. In fact, it smokes real smooth and gets me high very quick.
When they said this isn’t for beginners they meant it. Couple puffs in and I’d forget what I was supposed to do. A lot of a brain dead, couch lock and zoned out feeling. Compared to EBC, it didn’t give a munchies effect as much. It’s more on par with DMC but with a heavier feelings on the eyes and head. These are just my own personal observations. Some casual-toking friends would try this and be out cold in my living room.
I saw they had another batch on their website so I can’t attest to that quality. But for what it’s worth you should definitely give this a try if you haven’t already.
I wanted to try this out after having a great time smoking the Death Mint Cookies from HGA. It is very similar to DMC with its couch lock and indica effects. I enjoyed this one more for its munchies inducing high since I don’t eat much to begin with. I don’t even feel full after eating 2-3x m...ore than usual.
There were a range of small - large nugs found in the bag. The majority of which are small-medium sized (left on the picture). Smells great, can’t tell if it’s a hybrid since it wasn’t as skunky as I thought it’d be. Smoked like a champ and wasn’t quite as harsh as most of the other purchases I’ve made.
Shipping was super quick (BC / AB) 2-3 days with Canada post. Would highly recommend HGA for quality bud at fair prices.
1st order of quads from HGA that also happened to be on sale. There were a variety of S/M/L buds found throughout the oz.
Great bag appeal, sticky and smells amazing. Smoked out of a bong and it was smooth compared to other strains I’ve had. High lasts far longer than the average AAA... and well worth the cost. Had to take a nap cause I went overboard on it!
**Alaskin ThunderFuck (Sativa)** \- Took 3-4 hits and felt high as a kite for about an hour. Mostly zoned out and forgetting what I was supposed to do. Felt very strong head buzz and fuzz in the cheeks during that time.... 1.5\~2 hrs after and I feel more clear headed with the high pretty much gone.
**Blue Dream (Hybrid)** \- Took 2-3 pulls. Mostly feel it in my face again and after an hour the high dies down quickly. Still able to feel weaker initial effects but able to do stuff with no problem.
**Grand Daddy Purple (Indica)** \- Took 2-3 pulls. Must note this has a higher chemical taste than the others and a harsher throat/lung hit. Coughed my lungs out. Similar effects to the others but felt heavier on the eyes after about an hour.
**Animal Cookies (Hybrid)** \- Not sure why it’s so dark. Took 3-4 pulls and surprisingly smoother and less of a chemical taste. Must be the method of extraction and it being honey oil. Hits quick and hard in the face and goes away after an hour. A good alternative to the honey oil at HSP.

Had a pretty good time with these but the high dies fast. There’s no gradual decrease like I get from smoking flower. They all tasted chemically and artificial to me (my fiance says it tastes floral?). And do distillates taste harsh in general?
