Looks: Like the name suggests, the main attribute that stands out is the firey red colouration. The vivid red hairs and amber trichomes truly make this strain POP. Amongst the fiery red, you can see the light green base with a subtle hint of purple hues, especially when the buds are broken open. Fro...sty trichome crystals are very prominent adding a perfect finishing touch. Yes the colouring is great, but the bud structure itself is also nearly perfect. The pieces are relatively dense, but not rock hard. There is still squish to it that leaves your fingers with a sticky residue. Very sexy flower that i love to show off to my peers. 10/10
Smell/Taste: The smell and taste are the next best attribute. This Red Congo has such a unique aroma, its almost difficult to describe. The most noticeable smell is pine. Almost like walking through a old growth forest after a heavy rain. Then there slips in a modest citrus scent to perfectly accent the pine. The taste is a little different from the smell in that the citrus is a bit more noticable. The terp profile on this strain must be super unique. I really love it. 10/10
Smoke: ash was mostly white. There was a tiny bit of grey in the ash though, but it still burned extremely smooth. An oil ring is present. 9/10
Effects: Amazing energetic buzz, a perfect daytime smoke. I’m more of an heavy Kush (Indica) guy so this rating could be higher if you prefer sativas. 9/10
Value for price/quality: 9.5/10
Final Thoughts: I am extremely satisfied with this flower. Its a true exotic strain with very unique attributes. I would safely say its a ”show” bud. Feel free to brag about it to your peers! A perfect daytime strain. For a AAAA top end exotic sativa, I’m very content and find great value here. They also have this strain in cheaper popcorn size buds, but i have not tried those so i cannot comment on that. Must try Sativa
To start, full disclosure: I like cheap weed lol. Maybe i’m old school (or just a lightweight), but the weed these days is just too strong for me. I opted for the cheap $69/oz El Muerte popcorn. Buds are about fingernail size. This El Muerte is a death... bubba phenotype so it has that classic kush aroma. Lighter green buds with purple highlights. When it busted up the purple really came through. For 69$/oz this is a really nice deal.
Nose is pretty gassy with some sweetness. Burns pretty nicely, on the smoothness scale it gets a 7/10, could be better. This is definitely a heavy indica. Honestly, it was a bit too strong for me. Like i said, im a lightweight and prefer light effects. The stronger than expected effects are probably better for most of you out there anyways.
Looks aren’t great @ 6/10 (but it is just popcorn buds so comparing to other buds is tough). Smoke @ 7/10 (slight harshness). High @ 8/10 (immediate effects, a bit strong for me). Value @ 11/10 (I’d rate this as aaa- at 69$ is unbeatable).
Site: AC Medical Strain: Island Rockstar Kush Price: $79 per Oz Overall: 4.5/5 **Received $10 coupon for this review
Site (Packaging/Customer Service): 5/5 Extremely quick to process and ship. Ordering was easy on their platform.
Flower(Nose/Bag Appeal): 4/5 ...>Really tight medium/large size nugs. Usually cheap strains have lots of small nugs in them, but this was mostly big buds which was surprising. Olive green buds with some slight purple hues and absolutely iced out too. Trim was decent too. It was very resiny when smoked.
Smell: 4/5 Classic gas kush aroma. The terps on this one provides an skunky gas with a lil nuttiness on the finish.
Burn/Smoke: 4.5/5 Clean smoke that was easy on the lungs. little bit of grey in the ash but burned nice and even. Surprisingly tasty punch to the taste buds. decent resin ring forming towards the end.
High/Buzz: 4.5/5 It was a great nighttime high for me. I usually medicate in evenings so the relaxing effects left me chilling out on the couch getting deep into my movie. Great body high. Nice and heavy. I would recommend it if you’re looking for something to chill you out and ease the aches and pains at night.
Value and Overall Thoughts: 4.5/5 If you’re looking for a cheap, but quality strain then this Island Rockstar Kush is a great choice. I’d rate it as a high AAA product so seeing this strain priced at $79/oz is really good! Plus its a really good service the AC Medical shop has going on.
