Blowout420 samples review
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2019 5:50 pm
MOM Name: Blowout420.ca
Overall rating out of 10: 7/10
Sign Up: Didn't sign up, just got hooked up on Discord for samples
Ordering & Pricing: Didn't formally order, was offered samples, prices on the site have a lot of very big deals vs reg prices
Communication: No complaints but didn't have much interactions, was nice and courteous
Packaging: No complaints, proper vac seal, each strain was individually packed in a small sealed bag, well labeled, etc.
Products / Photos:
Strain Name: Rockstar
Strain Fidelity: First time having Rockstar, so can't really comment. It has a distinctive heavy kush/peppery terp profile. Leafly describes it has spicy with grape, I definitely cannot taste or smell anything fruity.
Size of buds: 7.5/10 Average size
Bag Appeal: 7/10 It has very nice colors (some solid purple hues), good trichome coverage. It's very dense and very dry so a bit hard to break up. Rock hard buds.
Cure & Humidity: 4/10 Very dry, cracks when broken up. There is a very very faint humididy at the core of the bigger buds, but it's definitely too dry overall. Would need some boveda/jar time to bring back.
Smell Intensity: 7.5/10 Has very little nose right out of the bag, but once you break it up/grind it it smells pretty good and strong.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 No complaints here, I've had smoother but this was very nice, big rips aren't a problem, good flush.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Taste comes through reasonnably well, nothing intense, but overpowers the smoke
Taste Complexity: 6/10 Pretty unidimensional, predominantly kushy without much else to offer
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 A good indica buzz, but not a hard knocker. Proper for the price/value.
Price: Regular price is 180/OZ, is currently on sale at 140/OZ
Value: The dryness takes away a lot of the appeal for me, I feel 140/OZ is steep for the state of these buds.
"A" Scale Rating: AA+, would be AAA- with better fresness.

(no pic sorry, forgot to take one)
Strain Name: Girl Scout Cookies (distillate vape cart)
Strain Fidelity: 9/10 Taste like classic cookies
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: Very clear distillate, nice thick consistency
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Once of the smoothest distillate I've had
Taste Intensity: 8/10 I can taste the terps well, they are a bit faint and the raw distillate can be tasted through
Taste Complexity: 9/10 It's got that glassic peppery background of GSC with a bit of tanginess I'm not used to in GSC
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Typical distillate, flat, short lived buzz but less couchlock than others I've had.
Price: 45$ regular, 20$ on sale right now
Value: 45$ seems a bit steep, wouldn't pay much more than 30-35$ for any distillate cart.
"A" Scale Rating: N/A

Strain Name: Rockstar Sugar Wax
Strain Fidelity: Reminds me of a fruiter version of pink kush.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 8/10 Kinda looks like ear wax, had some black spots on it (see pic), looked like it rubbed on something
Cure & Humidity: Texture is dry and sligthly tacky, but crumbles easily under pressure
Smell Intensity: 7.5/10 A nice kushy/fresh smell that's not overpowering but very present
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 This was smooth as silk in the pico/sai.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 The taste is good and strong
Taste Complexity: 7/10 It's not overly complex, but it does what it does real well, a mix of classic kush and fruit, very clean taste
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Extremely smooth, can take huge rips, tasted good going up in temps from a cold start dab too.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Strong and terpy, very nice
Taste Complexity: 7.5/10 It's not particularly complex (concentrares rarely are anyway) but it's a good balance between kush and fruit, very clean
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Strong and potent no complaints
Price: On sale for 20$ a gram, regular price 55$ a gram.
Value: Definitely a good deal at 20, not so much at 55$ considering what else the competition has. Never seen wax over 30ish.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA (would be AAAA- without the black spots/impurities)

Strain Name: Super Lemon Cookie Dough
Strain Fidelity: Never had cookie dough, did have SLH. I do smell some SLH terps in this but faintly.
Size of buds: 5/10 Small nugs but well formed
Bag Appeal: 4/10 Colors are dull/browning a bit, looks like old weed.
Cure & Humidity: 5/10 Was pretty dry but still had some spring to it, didn't release much more smell when broken up
Smell Intensity: 4/10 Faint smell of generic plant matter for the most part, tiny bit of lemon coming through but ever so faint.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Wasn't a bad smoke, could take pretty big rips and they'd go down smooth. There's a bit of sourness in there that gets intense on bigger draws.
Taste Intensity: 5/10 Not much taste going past the smoke, but the smoke wasn't harsh.
Taste Complexity: 4/10 There's a bit of sourness, a tiny bit of lemon (almost inperceptible).
Buzz Intensity: 2/10 This is definitely sativa leaning but the potency is some of the most terrible I've had ever. Didn't smoke a large joint, but 30 min later buzz was completely gone.
Price: 99$ OZ on sale down from 155$ OZ
Value: To me this isn't even worth it as a budget OZ, prime example of terribad weed.
"A" Scale Rating: AA- at best.

Strain Name: Funky Skunk
Strain Fidelity: Genetics unclear based on what I've found on Google, seems like perhaps a pheno of UK Cheese, either way, fits the description of "fruity version of skunk" and it's similar to other watered down skunks I've tried
Size of buds: 8/10 One big fat nug and some smaller bits made the sample
Bag Appeal: 6/10 Like the Super Lemon Cookie Dough, it looks like aged weed that's began to brown
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 Dry but not too dry, still had some fluff and spring to it
Smell Intensity: 7/10 The dryness got the better of it, but it has a predominantly fruity aroma and reminds me of dancehall, white widow and similar smooth fruity strains
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 Smooth smoke, could take pretty good draws without inducing cough
Taste Intensity: 7/10 The terps aren't coming out strong, but you can definitely feel the fruit over the smoke so not bad
Taste Complexity: 7/10 There isn't much more than fruit coming through and it's pretty unidimensional. Zero skunk or funk coming through.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 No complaints, a good hybrid buzz, not intense but competent
Price: On sale at 80/OZ regular price 145/OZ
Value: Definitely not a bad deal at 80$. I'm not a budget weed fan but at 80$, this is definitely more than fair. At 145 there are tons of better options out there. Would prob be a much nicer flower if it was fresher.
"A" Scale Rating: AAA-

Strain Name: Death Bubba GX smalls
Strain Fidelity: 10/10 This is textbook Death Bubba
Size of buds: 4/10 These are tiny buds, borderline popcorn, no shake
Bag Appeal: 5/10 Hard to judge on such small buds, it's nothing impressive to look at, buds are small but well formed and rather firm, excellent trim
Cure & Humidity: 6/10 You can tell it was well cured, but perhaps a bit overdried. Exterior of buds is dry, inside has some residual humidity but not much. Would prob be very decent after some boveda and jar time
Smell Intensity: 9/10 It doesn't have much smell out of the bag but once ground it's a classic intense kush/pepper/gas that's characteristic of DB.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 Death Bubba and most Kush strains for that matter are rarely smooth by nature, but this was nice.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Absolutely obliterates the smoke taste, all you can taste is heavy kush and gas, very nice
Taste Complexity: 8/10 This strain does one thing and it does it well, nice kushy taste with gas in the background, bit of spice/pepper, very nice
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Heavy hitter as usual for the strain, strong indica
Price: Smalls are 135/OZ, Popcorn is 85$ OZ (same grow), they have regulars at 99$ but I think this one is a different grow
Value: At 135$ this is a fair deal if you can live with small buds. If the 85$ one is just as potent, that one is an absolute steal.
"A" Scale Rating: AAAA-
Incentive for Customers: They have good rebates vs their reg prices right now
Incentive for Review: None other than free samples
Notes: There was a slight mold scare associated with this MOM, they sent one strain that had PM but they emailed/contacted all clients to whom it was sent to warn them they had found out, so they handled that very well. None of the samples I got had any signs of mold or other such issues.
Overall rating out of 10: 7/10
