I am a total novice and have no idea about how a good flower should look. This is God's Green Crack I received from one of the well established here moms. Does it look good? Tia.

Looks like some decent mid grade cannabis; a little dark and not that many visible trichome heads. Definitely smokeable though.

Looks like mids to me, perfectly acceptable to smoke.

Thank you for your input folks. I expected a bit more crystals but I guess quad a quality flower cannot be had for 100 per ounce.

What mom was this from?
Ive had ggc from a few moms and it usually looks little lighter colored or purple depending on pheno but always coated in trichomes.

this was the west coast cannabis... frankly, the reason why i asked was that i expected a bit more from this strain.

IMHO at that price range, you should never expect anything. If it's smokable at 100$/OZ, it's already a win. Doesn't matter what strain it is, you get what you pay for.

I agree somewhat. The flower was advertised as quality heavily discounted from 150 to 100 an ounce flower - they said they were selling it below cost.
It is smokable but the effects are super weak.

Looks don’t mean much to me, some of the worst looking weed I ever smoked was some of the best and some of the best looking weed I have smoked was the worst. Visually, I expect not to find bugs, mould, foreign material, etc. I know everyone likes nice frosty buds but that ain’t shit if the weed sucks.

I had 4 ounces of there discounted strains in my cart for about a week and decided to not pull the trigger. Pretty happy i didnt after seeing some pics/reviews.
I generally dont judge a bud by the cover but i usually stay away from dark colored budget strains. The dark color usually comes from to much nitrogen fertilizer, it often come out in the taste and gives me a headache.

I wish I knew this before i made the purchase. Oh well, live and learn.

I got an oz of their White Rhino for $99. Was totally worth it, no idea what the other discount strains were like though.

I am also quite new to the mom game, but i definitely know this much. Don't expect killer green that costs $99. Its literally NEVER going to happen. There will always be "something" not great at this price point, smell, potency,bag appeal or all of the above.

Are you saying that all discounted weed is crap and should be avoided? What price point separates decent weed from bad?

I've jad decent 100$ oz but it's really a dice throw. Even top shelf stuff is shit half the time, so budget weed is almost always pretty crap. It'll get you buzzed though, if that's all ypu care for.

No, not at all. I pretty much can't resist a $99 ounce myself LOL. You just can't expect it to be stellar in every possible way for the cost you are paying. I think questions about good/bad is also very subjective. What I call bad might be decent to others or vice versa. IMO, for the price you paid, your product looks great.

Frankly, the batch I got is growing on me. I love that I can continue with my daily chores at home and not be couch locked and it still gives me the pain dulling effect I need.
