Hoo boy. Time to throw another log on the fire of disappointment.
I've wanted to try tunaaaa gear for a while now, because I'm a masochist who enjoys being let down, apparently.
(For the uninitiated, ”Omega 3 Farms” is ”tunaaaa”, or Tuna, or tuna room, and his... drops tend to be exclusive and elusive and expensive as fuck.)
His recent drop was all these cool Cali crosses, and I wanted to feel like a baller so I was like what the hell let's give it a try. Whoops lol.
As you can see in pic one, it's seeded. When I went to roll my first joint a half-sized deformed seed popped out, so right away I was ready for disappointment. I can actually deal with the odd seed if it's fully formed and I remove it before smoking (shouldn't be finding them in an $80 quarter though). But this stuff also has some micro seeds, which affect the burn and ruin the taste.
Otherwise it's nice looking weed. The terps are prominent and loud. It seems to lean heavily on the biscotti side - to me it smells like a mix of freshwater biscotti and forum cut GSC. But in three out of the four joints I've smoked, the terps don't come through at all. In the words of Ralph Wiggum ”they taste like burning”. (I smoked two joints for this review, and the second one was the only one so far that's burned well and tasted half decent - though the second half of the joint was pretty acrid.)
This is just not good, I'm sorry. And when I log on IG and see Classics bragging about how everyone else's gear is shitty mids, but his gear is craft quads for cannaseurs, it pretty much feels like he's shitting directly into my mouth. Hard disagree in this case, Franklin.
In hindsight I probably should've just bought an ounce of the Laffy Taffy because that shit actually is fire. Instead I'm stuck with these exorbitant mids.
All that being said: were it not for the seeds this shit would probably be really good. And in fairness it looks good, smells good and hits good. But for $80 a quarter you better be checking every goddamn box, and this just doesn't.
This might be a bit of a ramble so apologies in advance.
I''m not entirely sure on the lineage (I think it's a Banana OG cut or cross) but whatever it is it's just wild.
It kind of looks like a disheveled landrace. Crazy foxtailing and spindly bud structure, b...ut it's absolutely coated in trichs. And it's in fantastic shape. I don't remember the last time I saw so many intact heads. Last time I bitched about the packaging, but this stuff arrived in a branded Mason jar, and it's in immaculate condition, so props for bud integrity.
Terps are some of the most unique I've ever encountered. Every whiff I pick up something different. It's got some creamy banana pie/candy vibes, boozy chocolate covered cherries, fruit loops, some kind of tropical fruit candy, and just a little bit of cherry Halls and gas. I've never smelled anything like it. It's not really what I usually go for terp-wise, but it's so goddamn neat that I keep going back to sniff the jar.
Translation in a joint is very good, but not as otherworldly as the aroma. I get more hints of the cherry menthol vibe when smoking. Burn is clean and even, with a decent grease ring, though not as big as expected.
I'm like five strains and six joints into my night so I don't think I can accurately describe the high, but I am very pleasantly stoned. Heavy lidded but not foggy brained, if that makes any sense at all. Lazy but chatty.
This stuff is pricey, but less pricey than most GG drops, and weirdly I like this better than the more expensive stuff I tried. I grabbed a quarter just to try it but now I wish I'd got more.
Buds are pretty and frosty, moderately sticky when busted. Terps aren't crazy loud but they're very present and pleasant. Creamy sweet dessert terps - kind of reminds me of those rectangular vanilla wafer cookies I used to eat as a kid. ...They translate really well in a joint too. Clean burn, fluffy ash, grease ring. Taste kind of dissipates in the last quarter of a joint but it doesn't get harsh, so whatever.
Not super potent but a nice mellow, relaxed high that's good for gaming.
$80 for a half before points and discounts, so good quality price ratio. Wish I'd bought an ounce.
My last PBB pickup was a dud, so I was a little hesitant on this one, but the cross was too enticing. Really glad I took the plunge.
Buds are frosty and fresh, greasy-looking, and pretty sticky. Terps are loud. Definitely leans heavy on the Gary Payton side (cross is GP x Baker's doz...en), but there are some nice sweet cookie notes. Mostly it's rubber and gas, earth and lemon and spice.
Terps translate so well in a joint. Every puff brings some element of the aromas above. Clean white ash, big grease ring that starts forming on the first puff. Just a beautiful smoke.
Potency is up there too. Heavy euphoric high.
I grabbed this kind of on a lark and it turned out to be one of the best things I've smoked all year. Great example of Gary Payton with a twist.
Quality 9.5/10
Value 8.5/10
Edit: wow, Reddit seems to have nuked the shit out of the resolution. Either that or I'm too high to see straight lol.
Decided to pay myself a treat and check out GasGodz for the first time. I've seen a pretty equal mix of hype and trash talk, so I wanted to see for myself.
Bag appeal is solid but not really outlandish. Great purple hues, lots of ripe heads, but it's not really decked out in tric...homes. Terps are definitely on point though. Classic sweet gassy creamy cakey gelato vibes. Loud, but not obscenely.
The smoke is pretty immaculate. Terps come through really well. Ash is bright white, good grease ring. Potency is there too.
This is really good shit, and it checks all the boxes, but I still think $300 a zip is crazy. Also, it came in a vac bag sealed in a vac bag. Like, for $300 I don't even get a mylar? I can get a fucking mason jar with a $100 ounce from WP. So I think classics needs to step up their packaging. It was also dry. Not horribly dry, but dry enough that I had to revive it a bit with a boost, which I'm loathe to do.
Overall I'm glad I tried this but I don't think I can justify the tag.
Seen a lot of glowing PF reviews here lately so I felt compelled to wade in.
This is some very pretty weed. Unfortunately that's about the last good word I have to say about this stuff. (Almost lol.)
The terps are completely non-existent - unless hay rotting in the sun is ...a terp. I'm pretty sure this was dried in a half hour with a hair dryer. Some of the worst smelling weed I've had in a long time. (That's certainly not how the site described the smell though.)
As always with PF the burn is snow white, so at least there's that. And it is potent, if you can choke it down. The taste is just hot and acrid. Like smoking a bag of old lawn clippings. I've had this for more than two weeks and I've managed to smoke two joints. Jar time and burping made no difference, the terps are just lifeless.
I just don't get these guys. Where's My Kush Cake was one of the best things I've smoked all year. But I've also had half a dozen absolute duds. It's always the same issue too: pretty weed that doesn't smell or taste like anything.
Again though, the potency is there at least. If you want pretty weed that gets you high, you'll probably like this stuff. If you're looking for any kind of decent smoking experience, avoid this like the plague.
I bought this direct but certain sites are selling tops of this for $300 a zip. I paid $190 and I'm still pissed, so I can't imagine paying $300 for weed this boring.
