** I typically do not do a second review the same MOM so close in time, but I've accepted to make an exception this time around because they started out as a budget weed MOM and are introducing a new line of premium strains. I'm fairly sure I asked to limit to about 3 products and I got 8, so I'll be adding to this review when I get to the other products. **


MOM Name: Blowout420
Overall rating out of 10: 8/10
Sign Up: N/A samples were offered through Discord
Ordering & Pricing: N/A
Communication: Excellent, no complaints
Packaging: Taped small box, vac seal, small individual sealed mylar bags, perfect
Products / Photos:
Strain Name: Tom Ford Pink Kush "Premium"
Strain Fidelity: Accurate rendition based on my limited sampling of Tom Ford, it's kushy and sharp. Does not have the perfumy gas taste the others I tried had, but was very close/similar.
Size of buds: 7/10 Not big not small but this was a relatively small sample
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Nice colors, some purple hues in there, definitely the best looking I've had in this order
Cure & Humidity: 7.5/10 Came in with a Boveda so humidity was proper, but I have a feeling it went a little too dry during the curing process. It's not very loud smelling or tasting.
Smell Intensity: 7/10 It definitely smells really good, but it's not very strong smelling. Nice kush dominant smell.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 No complaints here, very smooth with a slight sharp profile
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 Again not overly strong taste but I can definitely taste the terps over the smoke
Taste Complexity: 8/10 A dominantly kushy taste that's not particularly strong, with a sharp finale, very pleasant
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 I was surprised by this, very heavy hitting buzz, had to tap out before the end of my relatively small joint. Some of the strongest hitting stuff I've smoked lately for sure.
Price: 220/OZ
Value: 180/OZ would be more fair, but 220 isn't unreasonnable
"A" Scale Rating: This was really good, but not quite a quad in my book. There are better options on the market in that price bracket, but it was definitely AAA+. A better cure/preservation would undoubtedly make it a quad.


--- Strain Name: Rockstar x Tuna "Premium"
Strain Fidelity: Haven't had neither Tuna or Rockstar very often, so I'm hardpressed to evaluate this point. Reminds me more of Tuna than Rockstar, for the little experience I have with both.
Size of buds: 7/10 Rather small buds but again, small sample so it's expected.
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 The smallness of the nugs makes it hard to judge, one of the buds was noticeably much more purple than the other. Nice colors, nice trim, it's all good.
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 Again it feels like it went dry and was rehumidified, not an overly strong smell even after grinding it up.
Smell Intensity: 7.5/10 Smells really nice but not super strong.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 Tuna is a strong kush and strong kushes are always pretty aggressive, but despite this, it was surprisingly smooth. No kissing after a joint of this, you get really stinky
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Tastes stronger than it smells for sure, a nice strong kush smell with some gas undertones
Taste Complexity: 8/10 I can't say I recognize any of the characteristics of Rockstar here, but I do recognize the Tuna kush. A nice strong kush taste.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Again, a solid hitter. Not as strong as the Tom Ford, but definitely not a lightweight.
Price: 220/OZ
Value: Again, I feel this isn't quite a quad and there is a lot of competition in that bracket. I'd value this at between 160 and 180 OZ, but 220 isn't unreasonnable, competition is intense
"A" Scale Rating: AAA, very close to AAA+


--- Strain Name: Super Silver Haze "Premium"
Strain Fidelity: Never had that strain so I can't really comment. Did have several "Haze" strains and I can't say I've really recognized the typical Haze characteristics in the taste, but the buzz definitely is in that ballpark.
Size of buds: 8/10 Nice sized buds
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 While it looks pretty plain, it's got a good trim, buds look nice and the smell is solid. Not something that would catch your eye looking at it, but it definitely has a nose that makes you smell twice.
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 Again, feels like it was overdried during the curing process. The boveda kept it (or brought it back maybe) to a proper humidity level, but it feels like some of terps have been lost in the process.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Doesn't have a super strong taste, but it's very present. Has a fruity/hazy smell, very nice, possibibly the nicest smelling of these samples
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 No complaints, this is a smooth smoke.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Nice smooth taste. Like most fruity strains it's not super strong, but the smoke doesn't interfere either so you can really enjoy the terpenes fully.
Taste Complexity: 9/10 A nice predominantly fruity taste with an ever so slight background of haze. Very pleasant smoke.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 By sativa standards, this is a pretty heavy hitter. I dind't look at the exact lineage but I assume it's a sativa leaning hybrid. If it's a full on sativa, it's definitely some of the strongest sativa I've had.
Price: 220/OZ
Value: Good sativas are hard to come by, 200/OZ is about where I'd price this, 220 isn't bad at all
"A" Scale Rating: AAA+
Notes: The trichomes on these buds are the milkiest I've ever seen since I've started taking close up shots. I was kind of worried when I first saw it, but despite all my scrutiny I can't see anything wrong with them. There is absolutely nothing wrong in the smell or smoke either, so I'm just pointing out how wildly different from anything I've seen before this is.


--- Strain Name: Pink Kush
Strain Fidelity: Fairly typical Pink Kush, not as gassy as some others I've tried, see below
Size of buds: 6/10 3 tiny buds composed the sample, nothing amazing size-wize
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 They were the most intact buds in this order, nice long hairs. I'm used to seeing a bit of purple in Pink Kush, not that I had it very often, but there is none to be seen here.
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 It's almost a theme at this point, feels like it dried too much during cure and it's been brought back from the brink with boveda. Some terps were definitely lost in the process.
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Pretty tame smell, nothing of the usual strong gas/perfumy taste I associate with Pink Kush
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8.5/10 No complaints here very smooth for a kush.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 The kush is predominant in the taste, not much if any of the usual gas this strain is known for.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Fairly unidimentional but not bad at all, generic kush, smooth
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Typical heavy hitting known for this strain, always thought Pink Kush was a pure indica and this one is listed as hybrid, it definitely had a more hybrid buzz than other Pink Kush's I've had. Buzz lasted an unusually long time (been smoking lots of sativa lately so that might play into it)
Price: 165/OZ
Value: Price is about right, not a steal at 165 but definitely within reason.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA


--- Strain Name: Philosopher's Stone Blueberry Hash
Strain Fidelity: Doesn't really apply since this is clearly a terped very low grade hash
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 5/10 Typical low grade very dark hash
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 9/10 This smells strongly of blueberry, like a muffin or pastry, maybe even candy
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 Like most very low grade hash it's fairly smooth. There is a bitterness to the taste that's not very intense but still alway there and a bit annoying.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 The blueberry fake terps translate semi-well into the taste, it's much less fruity/candy than the smell, but fairly good.
Taste Complexity: 6/10 It's very unidimentional. Blueberry and a slight bitterness.
Buzz Intensity: 2/10 This is where the party ends, while it's not a bad smoke, it's amazingly weak in buzz. I smoked the whole sample which was about half a gram in two sittings (close to each other in time) in a bong and barely catched a buzz. I don't even understand how hash can be so weak, it reminds me of the stuff I got from BMWO last year. Guessing this is the "work bag" that's been pressed into hash or something?!
Price: 170/OZ (currently on sale at 140/OZ)
Value: It's hard to put a value on a product that is so weak in potency, but I can say that Mercedes hash, while a bit less fun to smoke than this, is definitely significantly stronger in buzz and is typically 90-150$/OZ from most MOMs. I would not recommend this product at all.
"A" Scale Rating: One star at best

NOT YET REVIEWED (soon): Rockstar GX popcorn, Death Bubba GX Popcorn, Blueberry CO2 shatter

Incentive for Customers: N/A
Incentive for Review: N/A
Notes: N/A

Here are 2 more products from this order that I had not reviewed yet. Still have to try the CO2 Blueberry Shatter, but my Pico/Sai is away at a friend's place for now!


--- Strain Name: Death Bubba GX popcorn
Strain Fidelity: 10/10 exactly what I expect from Death Bubba
Size of buds: 1/10 Tiny popcorn, borderline shake
Bag Appeal: 3/10 The smallness really kills any appeal it might have, smells dank though
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Not perfect but still had decent humidity, no complaints! Cure is good.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 It was a small sample, but it's got that dank typical smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Super smooth, especially for Death Bubba which can be a bit intense usually
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Terps go through perfectly, thick creamy smoke down to the filter
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Typical Death Bubba taste, a background of kush, a bit of pepper, some savory/sweaty richness, very thick smoke, smooth as hell
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 There are 3 types of weed, normal weed, weak as weed, and knock me on my ass weed. This is definitely potent stuff, I botched the joint halfway and I was fucked up.
Price: 97$/OZ
Value: Killer deal, if you're only going to smoke it and don't need to impress friends or clients with it's bag appeal, this is a very solid budget bud. Heck, I'd take this over most 200$+ stuff I've smoked in the last year.
"A" Scale Rating: Hard to rate popcorn this small, but this is at least AAA+, possibly AAAA-. The bigger buds from that plant are quads for sure.



--- Strain Name: Rockstar GX popcorn
Strain Fidelity: Even though I've had samples of this many times now and I can't say I've locked down what it's supposed to be. It's invariably fairly shitty and this fits the bill, so I guess it's accurate? lol.
Size of buds: 1/10 Again with the ridiculous size buds, this would be called shake by anyone else. They are buds however, not shake, but damn.
Bag Appeal: 3/10 Hard to tell anything, they are so small.
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 Bit dry
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Has a slight kush smell, nothing intense
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6/10 Kinda harsh but tolerable
Taste Intensity: 7/10 Doesn't taste amazing.. Slight kush, mostly harsh/smoke, very generic
Taste Complexity: 5/10 Super generic, hint of kush, boring
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 At least it does well in that department
Price: 97$/OZ
Value: This is edible level stuff in my book, no fun to smoke, kinda harsh, tiny buds, it's got nothing going for it. I wouldn't buy or recommend this.
"A" Scale Rating: AA+ (the + for the potency)

This is so late that it's ridiculous but since the product is still on sale on the site, I guess it's worth updating. I tried the Blueberry Kush CO2 Shatter sample that came with these samples. I couldn't try it for a while cause I had lent my pico/sai to a friend and I've been lazy getting it back.

So on to the product:

Strain Name: Blueberry Kush CO2 Shatter
Strain Fidelity: I never had pure blueberry kush but I've had several crosses. This feels fake in terms of taste and it's absolutely odorless at room temperature.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: This shatter is the most brittle I've had in my limited shatter experience. Holding it between fingers for 20-30 seconds didn't change it's consistency, it's hard and very brittle. I don't think I got a full gram, but in any case, it was all broken up in tiny pieces, had to put 3 of the bigger pieces to get a grain of rice quantity. The color is very light, very clear.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 0/10 No odor whatsoever opening the package
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Smooth as silk, this is some of the smoothest dab material I've tried so far, all kinds included
Taste Intensity: 7/10 The taste isn't very strong, but it's still very clear and present
Taste Complexity: 6/10 I can't tell if it's real terps or added terps, but it's very uni-dimensional in terms of taste. I can't say it tastes like blueberry but it does have a sweetness to it, there's a bit of kush in there too. Really not a bad taste, but nothing amazing either.
Buzz Intensity: 7.5/10 I smoked that whole grain of rice and my tolerance is pretty low these days (been smoking flower almost exclusively, and moderately especially lately), at first I was like "this ain't doing shit" but it finally kicked in, kind of delayed. Buzz is pretty unique, very little body buzz, feels more sativaish, but blueberry is supposed to be indica? Buzz ain't strong for dabs, but it's pretty clean.
Price: 25$/g, regular oz price is 700 currently on sale at 420.
Value: I haven't been much in the loop as far as shatter goes, so it's hard to say, can't really give an opinion on this.
"A" Scale Rating: N/A
