I got a qp split between The Pink Garden: Death Penalty and The Pink Garden: Death Master .

Immediately upon opening, I am smacked in the face with the dank dank dank smell of Death Penalty... it immediately stunk up my house. The cure seems extremely well done, as the flower is sticky a...nd has bounce when you squish it between your fingers.

First thing of note: there is some extra leaf on this flower which may not be appealing to some people, but that extra leaf helps retain moisture in the plant so as long as the flowers are not dry as fk, I usually do not mind the extra leaf. And it is not much in the grand scheme of things :) .

Flavour when vaping is very pink! It instantly makes me happy and lasts quite a few hits. I will write a more thorough review of both flowers but wanted to put something out there in case people were on the fence about ordering :) . For 220 a qp, you cannot go wrong with The Pink Garden. HGA was kind enough to toss in a sample of Pink Bubba (also by The Pink Garden). I have not tried it yet, but it looked as if it is the same quality as the other 2. Great job to The Pink Garden team.

I will rate the flowers later but as of right now, I would say they are somewhere above 80 out of 100 :)

Shipping was very fast: it arrived in 24 hours from BC to TO.

I had an issue with my last order and reached out to HGA about it. As always, their customer service is top notch and they resolved my concerns quickly and efficiently. Reviewing product for HGA grants the reviewer a 25$ credit + free shipping over 150$ towards their next purchase.

I was really looking forward to the Quattro Kush, but it looks, smells and tastes EXACTLY like the pre98 Bubba. The only differences are: the Quattro kush grower edition has a much worse trim job (it is severely overtrimmed) and the flower is dryer than the pre98. On the plus side, the nugs are bigg...er and denser (average nug is over 2g).

They look, smell and taste the exact same as the pre98 Bubba. I was so excited to open the bags, but I literally smelled nothing. Vaped it, and it tasted exactly like the bowl of pre98 I just had..

Quality = 80/100 Value = 40/100

I am not sure how I feel about the last 3 orders from HGA (1 bad 1 great 1 mediocre). The mandarin cookies had hairs inside the flower (black, white, and black + white) and it smelled and tasted like chinabud (I guess that's why it is called ”mandarin” cookies). I did not write a review about it because I did not want anybody to try and abuse the system, but I did see a person post a picture of the mandarin cookies and I saw hairs in their picture too (unfortunately I cannot find the review). HGA having great customer service, fixed the issue for me. The pre98 Bubba is fantastic and I am really enjoying it. The Quattro kush was a big let down. I ordered it expecting the fact that it cost 100$ more to mean it would be better flower but I find it not to be the case. Overtrimming of flower really pisses me off because that trim will be used to make concentrates, and the flower was still being sold at a premium (around 240$ before it went on sale).

It makes me wonder: who overtrimmed this? Was it the grower, or did somebody decide to toss it in a tumbler along the way to double dip? I have a hard time seeing it called growers edition and then be so severely overtrimmed. Some of these nugs are completely butchered. It makes me lose confidence in the growers, and makes me question HGA: the pre98 Bubba and the Quattro kush are labeled as grown by different growers, 11 weeks mmj and cookies grower, yet they look, smell and taste identical minus the moisture level and trim job.

I am not sure what is going on with HGA but the consistency does not seem to be as up to par as it used to be.

I am on the fence about wanting to receive my 25$ incentive.

Danks Danks Danks. Heavy gas smell as soon as I unseal it. The kind that stinks up the whole house, and lingers. Absolutely caked with trichomes. Dense nugs, with varying sizes, mostly 1g-2g nugs but I got a fattt 5.77g nug. There are some absolutely beautiful flowers here, so many trichomes it make...s it hard to take pictures of it; it makes me want to upgrade to a better camera. I wish.

This is the type of flower that I enjoy looking at, playing with, taking pictures of, showing off to friends, vaping/smoking/eating, etc. Even though I had been vaping all day, when I got this and hit it in the vape, I instantly got stoned. I get very heavy gas + kush flavours in the vape, it reminds me of smoking blunts. I love the flavour and smell so much that I vaped more than was necessary. I got ridiculously stoned. Like waking up in the middle of the night cuz you passed out eating food kind of stoned. This morning I woke up stoned but really happy and ready to start my day. It is a very uplifting high. This is exactly what I was looking for and at 147$ an ounce, I will buy it over and over again.

My overall score out of 100, would have to be in the 90's. This flower makes me EXTREMELY HAPPY to vape, smell, look at and think about. Whoever grew this ought to be very proud of themselves :)

The trim job is well done, neither overtrimmed nor undertrimmed. The moisture level of the flower, is near perfect. Not too dry, not to moist. I am so excited and happy I got this. This flower speaks for itself, but the 25$ off next purchase + free shipping for the review really helps me out. :) thank you HGA

PS: I also got 1g of Wizard Weed's 99% CBD isolate (15$) to try. I am not sure how I am going to incorporate it into my daily routine yet. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking perhaps mixing it with some olive oil so I could drop it under my tongue.

Woulda been nice to see more then 1 nug lol

Another King Bubba x Bluefin Tuna post from HGA :)

This flower has some loudness to it though it is somewhat short-lived (I will explain below). There is quite a bit of potential to this flower. It looks good, maybe great to some people. The medium nugs are much more impressive looking t...han the popcorn ones (a decent mix when it comes to size). I taste some heavy gas notes, something fishy and oily, an ingredient in barbecue flavoured chips, and a non-berry fruit in the banana realm. I do enjoy it for the price.

A few things I noticed:

1) even though it's loaded with trichomes, quite a few of them are missing their heads (examined using a loupe). I bet the original plants would taste amazing in a hash form. I'm assuming this is where the rest of the flavour went.

2) the flower arrived dry and should have come with a boveda pack, especially due to the fact that it is winter and the flower has to travel across the country (no, HGA cannot control the weather or how long Canada Post holds a package, but HGA should take responsibility to ensure the quality of their products remain in the same conditions they were sent in). If the flower had low humidity to begin with, it should say so in the description. I placed a few orders in the summer which arrived with much, much more humidity. Most of the flower I ordered last winter arrived with boveda's and more humidity than this one ounce. I think HGA needs to do something to maintain consistency during transportation, regardless of the price of the flower.

Anyone who is a ”budget-only” buyer would more than likely be thrilled to receive this. I'd purchase this again, IF it came with a boveda, as I really did enjoy the flavours I got when vaporizing the flower on first arrival (short-lived flavour). The high is good and it gives me the munchies. It is not too heavy for daytime usage but it can catch up to you if you have a low tolerance or do not consume habitually.

If I were to give it a rating out of 100, I would say this is a solid 75-80, as it has potential. There is a lot that I like about it and I didn't want to let my own bias opinion jeopardize what I think it's true rating is. I hope I am not too critical with the review... I'm interested in what other enthusiasts and consumers would rate it out of 100 (drop your rating in the comments below). How was everyone else's experience?

Ps: this is incentivized

It has been a minute since ordering from HGA so when I saw 40% off, I had to order it. I am so glad that I did.

First off, this stuff was the stickiest flower I have received in a LOONNNNNGGGGGGG time. Sticky icky icky oooooooowweeeeeeee... ”put it in the air!” Some buds are wayyyyy s...tickier than I was expecting so I separated the ounce into 2 jars ?

This was sooo much better than I anticipated. Heavy smoke. Pungent flavour. Thick Oil Ring. Pretty Potent.

Great Value!!! It originally cost 240$ but with 40% off it brought it down to 144$, which is definitely in my price range ESPECIALLY since I have a 25$ off review coupon w free shipping from my January order, bringing the new total to 119$. From there, I must have used the leftover points from my account as my final total came to 116$.

When I first got the flower I had some questions about it.Their customer service representative went above and beyond 99% of MOMs I have ever used. What I mean by that is that they actually ANSWERED my questions, all of them. They did not dodge any. And if they did not know the answer, they went up the ladder (even as far as to the growers) for the answer. I REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate that. After talking to them, it left me feeling much more satisfied than if I did not ask the questions, made up my own answer/opinion and ran with that...

But seriously, there are very few MOMs that I interact with nowadays and that is the way I like it... keep the circle small! HGA gets a lot of hate, but I do not think all of it is deserved. I will say this, I would not pay 240$ for an ounce of this. I think it is much more reasonable to ask for 150-175$ (125-150$ with coupon code)... which leads me to my last piece:

If their prices were better I would order from them more often. Their 40% off sales are what get me (I wish they did one weekly). They probably have the best review system in the industry that I have come across so far and because of that, they need a strong customer service team. Any time I have had a issue, they have fixed it for me.?????

I am interested in hearing other people's glory stories or horror stories from HGA

I have many pictures where the leaves are purple/blue/black/brown/red/yellow/ but mostly green... some absolutely burned, some look mouldy, some look normal...

I understand how plants can change colour due to temperature, but when looking at the purple leaves, I noticed some looked ”lig...ht blue” in colour, and wouldn't you know it, when I inspected those nugs I found white hair growing on it...

Received a half quarter of mendo breath. It was just covered in white hair, cracking open a nug shows how bad it is...

The Falcon 9 that I ordered was also mouldy...

Thankfully I got my money back...

But they have forever lost me as a client as I will never be order...ing from Monkey Budz again...
