Appeal: Came in quite squished along with the other two samples so the bud doesn't look amazing but it is nicely covered in trichomes. Unfortunately the sample contained a seed which seems to have happened... to a few other people on here as well.
Smell: Definitely a skunky element to it, this one hits the nose pretty hard when I opened the bag. There's a healthy mix of spiciness to it which makes it quite appealing to me
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls burn mostly black. The bud contains some seeds and chutes which makes for harsher plant matter when you spark up.
High: Definitely an indica heavy buzz for me, I felt pretty couch-locked not long after I smoked. I can see why it says not for lightweights, it's a very heavy and relaxing high. It was a perfect late night smoke for me.
Notes: I covered the shipping cost for a sample pack from Onyx Phenos after they reached out to me. The harshness of the bud knocked the score down a bit but I'd love to try another version of this since the high was great.
Appeal: Really dig the appeal of this one. Beautiful mix of green and purple leaves that are nicely covered in trichomes. The bud feels a bit too moist, maybe needed to dry a bit more.
Smell: Ve...ry interesting terps coming out of this one, although a little mild. I get a nice whiff of gas mixed with what reminds me of Unicorn Poop, which is more breath-related.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls burn mostly black. It's still a decently smooth smoke but the cure isn't the best and it reflects in the burn.
High: This is a nice hybrid strain that I'd say leaned in on the sativa side for me. Pleasant uplifting effects, it was a good high for some social time with friends. Doesn't hit too hard but it's a decently long lasting high.
Note: I covered the shipping cost for a sample pack from Onyx Phenos after they reached out to me. IMO the price tag is a little high for the quality compared to some other moms I order from, but it's a good smoke nonetheless.
Definitely looks like mold my friend. It is unfortunate since the bud looks so good otherwise. The bud is useless and you shouldn’t risk a respiratory infection, especially during flu season.
I hope you can get compensation for the bag because simply put:
mold + lungs = dang...erous
Edit: does look more like powdery mildew, but it makes no difference. Toss in ?

Quality: 7.5/10 Value: 8.5/10
Appeal: Decent bag appeal, the leaves are a m...ix of dark and bright greens covered in white trichomes with a healthy amount of orange pistils coming through the leaves.
Smell: I'm immediately hit with some sweetness that is followed with some earthy/peppery tones. I love the mix of sweet/spicy, I'm used to gassier strains so this is a nice switch up, very pleasant.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls salt and pepperish which makes for a decently smooth smoke.
High: The high hits me right in the head and gives me the giggles for a little while. It's a very pleasant feeling, not overpowering but definitely present, it's a nice strain to smoke while watching movies or playing some video games. It's not a long lasting high but it doesn't leave me feeling tired which is nice.

I recommend them if you're looking for reasonably priced flower and good customer service, which seems to be lacking with some moms these days.

Quality: 7.5/10 Value: 8/10
Appeal: Dense nug with darker yellowish-green to...nes and some purple coming through on the larger leaves. The trichomes have developed amber heads, which are usually associated to more of a couch-lock high.
Smell: This one smells like lemon drops! Very strong lemon terps coming through with a hint of diesel that lingers at the end. Grinding up the bud brings out some sweetness which I like.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls salt and pepperish. The bud is a bit too dry which makes for a slightly harsher hit.
High: Very nicely balanced hybrid. The high is uplifting and relaxing, it's a nice smoke to play video games with some friends. It unfortunately leaves me quite drained and somewhat couch-locked after a few hours, I'd recommend this as an evening smoke.

Quality: 6.5/10 Value: 6/10
Appeal: Visually very appealing nug, the leaves ...are a healthy mix of greens and purples with nice orange pistils sticking out here and there. The leaves are covered in crystal trichomes, the bud may have been overtrimmed leaving very few heads on the outside.
Smell: I get mostly earthy/musky tones from this one, maybe a little bit of spice at the end.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls burn salt and pepperish. The bud is a bit too dry which makes for a slightly harsher hit.
High: Unfortunately a hit and miss for me on that one. I don't really feel the effects hit me, maybe it's a bit too much of a light smoke. I tried it a few different times at different times of day to see if it was me but I had the same results every time. I haven't tried other versions of this strain so I unfortunately can't say much more about how the high should be.

Quality: 7.2/10 Value: 7/10
Appeal: Nicely grown bud with a dense structure,... the leaves are mostly bright green with some colourful purple leaves scattered around. The leaves are covered in a healthy amount of clear trichomes with bright orange pistils.
Smell: Love this one, I'm immediately hit with tropical terps. Mango, papaya and some citrus undertones really come through as soon as I opened the bag. Grinding the bud seems to have muted the smell a bit and brought out more earthy/grassy terps.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls salt and pepperish. It's a decently smooth smoke, maybe a bit on the lighter side making it not too harsh.
High: The high on this one is a bit more subtle than others, maybe even a tad too much for my liking. Being a sativa-dominant flower, I get a mostly cerebral buzz that takes a bit to kick in but once it does I feel alert and I'm able to be productive. Nothing extra, this one is good anytime of day with moderation.

Quality: 8.2/10 Value: 8/10
Appeal: This Gelato 33 is not as purple as some ...other examples, the flower itself being a nice mix of greens with a healthy amount of orange pistils coming through. Once you crack it open you can see the leaves are covered in crystal-like trichomes. I'd say the cure is one of the nicest out of the strains I received.
Smell: I get mostly earthy tones coming out of this one, with a little bit of pine smell coming through at the end.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls burn grey/white. It is a very smooth smoke, the bud seems to have been properly flushed and cured which makes it easy to grind and makes for a nice smoke.
High: I can pretty much copy and paste wikileaf's description of its effects in here, the high was spot on. Instant rush to the dome that nestled behind my eyes while it fuzzed my brain. After a while it settled down, leaving me smiling and happy without feeling too heavy. Probably my favorite high from all the strains I received. I'd say the biggest downfall is the effects don't seem to last very long, kind of a one punch strain.

Quality: 7.7/10 Value: 8.2/10
Appeal: Very frosty nug, covered in trichomes from top to bo...ttom, although the bud itself seems to have been over-trimmed a bit. The leaves have nice purple and green hues with some orange and green pistils poking through. The nugs are quite dense and the cure isn't the best, leaving the bud a bit too humid.
Smell: This is a great example of a Pink related strain. I'm immediately hit with gas that stings the nose in the best way. This bud also has a faint musky smell to it, almost reminiscent of the Breath lineup.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls burn mostly black. Definitely not the smoothest smoke, probably attributed to the cure.
High: Along with the smell, the high is spot on. Immediate cerebral effects, it hit me right behind the eyes and left a tingling sensation around my face. Once the first effects mellow down I'm left quite tired, unfortunately the effects don't last very long so it's definitely a late night toke.

Quality: 7/10 Value: 8.5/10
Appeal: Very dense bud with an equally dense covering of tricho...mes, the leaves are a mix of yellowish green and dark purple with dark amber pistils squished around the dense flower. The bud structure is a bit too dense, making it harder to finely grind.
Smell: This one smells very meaty with a citrus undertone. I can almost compare it to cured meats or something, I really enjoy it as it's a little bit unique. Definitely has a spicy vibe to it.
Smoke: I smoke out of a bong so I can't really say too much about the quality of the burn, but my bowls burn salt and pepperish. Nothing much more to write about here, very standard smoke.
High: This one is a mild hitter. At first I didn't feel much but the high sorta crept up on me and settled into my body. Doesn't really make me tired as it's not the most potent smoke but this makes it perfect for an anytime relaxation smoke. I still feel decently energetic and I'm left with a small case of the munchies. I assume the more bowls I smoke the hungrier I'll get, so pace yourselves!
