Mac 1 is a real favorite of mine partly for the ultra fruity nose and taste but mainly for the perfect, stoney, daytime effects I love in a hybrid. It's been a long while since I ordered with HGA, I didn't even have a review code for the first time I can remember beyond my first order with t...hem a few years back now. Regardless of the code, I got an email saying their Mac was on sale so I grabbed a h.o. for 80 or something. Great value on a delicious, fairly heavy hitting hybrid. Upon inspection through a 30x loupe I couldn't seem to find more then one or two trich heads in a 1 square cm area. Somewhat disappointing and may suggest that someone has already harvested them. I guess this flower had the potential to truly be somethjng special because it still slaps njcely. I've had their Mac 1 a few times in the past and this one is almost as good as the previous batches. I'm happy with the purchase. Sticky, fresh, white ash, strong fruity nose, all the good stuff...EXCEPT the trich heads lol. I mean there's tons of trich stalks but I just can't seem to find any heads. Could be just me maybe, but I doubt it ?♂️
Edit - I forgot to throw up the incentivized tag as I get $25 off and free shipping next order. Been a while since Ive posted. My bad
The CVL x DMC is also quite njce for a budget option (130 an oz iirc) Not overly tasty but nice sized buds throughout and great potency. For flipping to my friends that don't know about our ”grey market” it's perfect.
I also grabbed some Mary's Extreme strength gummies because they surprisingly destroyed me one night when I first tried them. It was a humbling experience from 3 of them at 75 mg each. I've either been taking WAY underdosed edibles or the Mary's are overdosed. Destroyed lmao. Also grabbed an Enigma everyday Pink OG cart and it's absolutely great for the price. Better tasting than their Lindsay everyday, that's for sure.
These guys reached out and offered me 100 bucks to place an order and do a review for them so I happily accepted it. This has gone poorly in the past for similar offers as I absolutely won't provide a good review unless the product is quality....looking at you Molson O Hill. Silly bunch there im...o. This order however was really very nice imho.
The Purple Glookies has beautiful bag appeal as you can see with the dark purple and bright orange pistils popping all over and all covered nicely in trichs. The nose is different from most strains Ive encountered and reminds me of Tropicanna Cookies. Not my favorite but not at all bad. It's not overly sticky but def has a bit to it. Not dry, a decent cure. Smoke is pretty smooth and tastes as the nose smells. Effects are hybrid in nature and nothing to exceptional imho. I wouldnt buy this again but thats my preference, I'm sure many would enjoy this stuff greatly. It just didn't have the potency I was hoping for based off the on site reviews. Ah well, decent bud and a real looker.
The Gluberry has always been a real fave of mine and it was an easy choice. The 1/8 came in basically one dense bud shown in the pics I posted. Extremely terpy, this is what I expect from Gluberry, massive berry nose that makes my mouth water. Super dense and stacked with trichs this is gorgeous flower. The taste is amazing also, providing a strong berry taste through the smooth smoke. Effects hit nicely and again, is in line with my previous experiences with GB. This was nice stuff and I would purchase again.
Frost Bomb was the surprise for me. I always seem to lean away from this strain when I see it but I'm happy I decided to try this one. It's amazing as a nightcap. Knocks me tf out. Again, very fruity in the nose and covered in trichs, she's got bag appeal. Smoke is tasty and smooth and hits me quickly with Indica effects that have me reaching for food, then falling asleep with said food in my mouth still...uggh, this is a bad habit lmao. I value these heavy indicas for sleep and this one did not disappoint. Tbh, Im not sure this is even listed as an indica but it certainly hits me as a good indica should.
Overall I was impressed with this order/sample pack and it came in the standard time from BC to GTA. They sent a bunch of Hush stickers and a few postcards with their branding. I've seen these guys around here and there for a bit and am happy they reached out with this offer. They do have some decent flower and the Rainbow Driver LHR they have is calling to me....its a struggle to not over purchase these days for real and these guys aren't making it any easier.
I woke up to an email from KC saying they were having a 50% off blowout, along with their 20% off for 4 quarters that was 70% off so it was a no brainer to place an order and as usual, KC brings some TASTY and Potent flower.
When I opened the 9 lb Hammer I was delighted to see a massive (...3.8 g), crystal covered bud in the container along with some avg buds to make the rest of the q. Perfectly cured these flower has strong fruity notes of rich grape and something else I can't put my finger on. It smells delicious. The nose follows through to the taste and the smoke is sweet, smooth and potent.
Effects come on quickly and hit me hard. I felt a full body relaxation wash over me almost immediately after smoking a j.
I really enjoyed the whole experience with this flower amd seeing as it came to 25 bucks for the q, I consider this a steal. All the qs were $25 as the whole order was just over $100.
The Mint Chocolate Chip, while not having any beautiful buds, was nicely coated in crystal on top of dark green background.
The nose is sharp and pungent with a chemical note there as well, reminiscent of their Cactus Breath imo. I wish the CB had been in stock tbh, its one of my all.time faves when it comes from them.
Taste is delicious on this one bringing those pungent gassy notes on top of the chemical backend. Potent smoke, not super smooth but not harsh. It just seems Potent.
Effects are hybrid in nature and again, very nice for a lazy afternoon. I like to mix this with some LA Kush Cake I have for an amazing buzz.
Overall I am very happy with this order. Sometimes a deal comes along thats too good to pass up on.
Really impressive indica flower that has it all. This is the kind of deal I'm looking for. Smalls, yes, popcorn or shake, no. Almost unison in size between .5 -.8g these buds are pretty. Sticky, dense, colorful and dank, this flower burns clean and brings a HEAVY couch lock if you're suscept...ible to that.
This is as good as any flower I've had from HGA so Im really impressed.
The last pic is the sample of Mint Choc Chip they threw in.
Been wanting to try these guys out for a while, they have a different ordering process than I'm used to with usual Moms. Communication and Placing the order through wickr was very quick and easy. They are super friendly and allowed me to choose 2 qs for the mystery H.O. which was great. Picking ...up this ICC and some Animal Style turned out to be excellent choices.
This ICC is absolutely incredible right from the opening of the bag. A complex and extremely rich nose of spice and sweet cakes dough is the easiest way to describe the smell of this. There are also notes of gas deep within. Extremely dense and covered in full trichomes with many of the heads intact, this flower is a delight to behold. Excellent stickiness and cure. Smoking brought the very same notes to the taste and smooth exhale. Clean as could be with a snow white ash, smoking this stuff is a wonderful experience.
Then the high comes, creeping somewhat slowly to full effect, you are instantly hit with a warmth to the forehead that is just so nice it's difficult to describe but the effects keep coming until it is almost overwhelming and would certainly have a novice smoker hanging on tightly if they had more than 2 or 3 pulls of this stuff. This is one of the strongest flowers I've ever had, providing a myriad of effects that create depth to the high and makes for a super fun and interesting experience. It's really difficult to describe the intensity of the effects but that is certainly what sets this stuff apart from most anything I've ever smoked. As complex as the nose and taste is, the effects follow suit ten-fold. The 70% indica side takes hold about an hour after smoking and forced me to sleep.
I really couldn't be happier with this experience and will almost certainly post a review for the Animal Style once Ive tried it a bit more, its even more visually appealing then this ICC but the effects are not as intense.
No incentive for review here, just a dope ass flower to share!
I picked this up with some of the Coast Pink and a little DMC and although the buds are all smaller in size and has a fair amount of extra leaf, but it's actually pretty nice in the effects.
Somewhat muted nose at first, I don't get a lot of Garlic from it so far but there is the ...signature breathy funk underneath. I was surprised with the trichome coverage although a lot of the trich heads were lost to packaging as the vac seals lately have been a little much imo. Ive been getting a lot of flattened buds in the past month or two...that wasn't the case in my past experiences with HGA and seems to becoming more of a standard. I hope they'll take a look at this and come up with a better process to avoid the pancaking of their flower.
The effects were really nice and comfortable and hit me quickly. I wasn't feeling so good when I got this in amd as soon as I tried it my stomach issue went away and I was feeling much better. Almost zero burnout for me with this which was also surprising. Burned a touch darker than I'm used to with HGA.
Overall I'd give this flower a 7/10 I guess.
Incentive for review is a $25 coupon plus free shipping for next order over 100.
Well, controversy or not, I reached out to these guys when I heard they were offering free mixed ozs for reviews and they sent me one quickly, with no questions asked lol. So take the review with a grain of salt but I'll do my best to be honest and accurate.
The order came quickly, ba...sically over the weekend from a Friday delivery, and was in the standard box, sealed poorly mind you with a piece of brown packing tape, but vac sealed as usual inside, with purple tissue paper wrapped around it...nbd, I thought it was fairly nice. Lots of extras, not sure it will be the standard goijg forward but a branded Bic, some paper filter tips and an entry or two in their monthly draws were included.
All of the 1/8s were over by at least a .1 so that's always good to see. When I opened the seal of the vac my roommate was like wtf, thats skunky, and he was right. The room was instantly filled with skunkiness...probably the Plat Pink.
It's a very typical Pink Kush with standard visuals, smell and taste but it's all very nice imo. Ive had much worse pinks. Burned super smooth and is a decent humidity providing good stickiness to the bud. It also provides solid indica effects that have my ears ringing loudly atm.
So, I'm not saying these guys are the best or you should run out and get some but I can say that they seem to be fast and at the price they have this, they only have ozs, I just checked to confirm price lol, it's a solid Pink.
I should mention one more thing. Although they're quick af to respond to emails, which I appreciate, there's juuust something a bit unprofessional about the way the responses are through email, I may be a bit picky or used to a pretty high standard of communication but I feel like they're a touch curt.
The Plat Pink and SSH seem to be the best of the bunch by quite a bit. Also got Black Tuna, Afghani Hindu and PBB. The Peanut Butter Breath(e) lol, is cheesy and not peanutty at all so I now understand why someone could be confused by that extra ”e” in thinking this was a dif pheno as usual PBB as was the case the other day. I dont even think its PBB at all.
I may post a review of another if it surprises me. The SSH is pretty nice so might do one for that. Decent budget bud here imo and a bit of an added touch in the packing.
That is all
Oh, I didn't experience the bounce sheet taste so far with the SSH, BT or PP...I would fking hate that shit.
I picked this up in the mix n match with some Purple Star and I am impressed! Super frosty and fresh feeling, this flower is dense but not rock hard but rather soft to the touch. It surprised me with a faint nose but unmistakably Creamsicle like smelling. Incredibly smooth smoke with a mild creamine...ss lingering on exhale. What I was most impressed with is the potency of this flower. Not feeling a whole lot for the 1st 5 mins I was suddenly red eyed and feeling VERY stoned. I find this flower to be a REALLY nice hybrid with nice taste and a really enjoyable, smooth smoke. I'd get more of this.
I also picked up a couple of the Enigma carts they just got to FINALLY see if all the talk about these things is warranted and yes, my first impression was WOW!! I got the Panic Attack and Blueberry Jam and the Panic Attack is worthy of its name. Massive citrus terps lead to strong sativa effects. Im glad I picked these up. They are a real treat to have for when Im out and about but want something effective in my vape. I'll be doing my best to save them for those days but I think its going to be difficult, they just taste so good and are so strong. Looking forward to the Blueberry Jam later.
Incentive for review is $25 off next order and free shipping.
I can provide a referral code for $25 off a first order with HGA through dm if interested
Happy smoking/vaping out there and have a great weekend everyone, it's supposed to be a BEAUTY if you're in Ontario!
This one is a real treat. Exceptional lemon nose and taste. Excellent consistency, and bringing high potency, I havent had any rosin in quite a while and this stuff is one of the best I've ever had. I would absolutely reorder and am considering ordering one or two more rn. At 40 bucks a g, I con...sider this to have some real value, especially if SLH is one of your faves, as it is mine.
