Carly's Garden
**Shipping/Packaging**
Shipped from BC and arrived here in Toronto in the standard 3 days. Packaged in box which I always love as it keeps the flower from getting squished within. Everything was also vacuum sealed.
**Gas Cookies**
Beautiful nugs that are absolutely blanketed in trichomes. More purple than green, with sharp orange hairs, giving it a really great bag appeal. They crack right open with a nice snap but still sticky within, implying a great cure. Also a very careful trim.
Crazy lineage on this stuff. Death bubba × Pink Kush × GsC. Right off the bat, I almost get a smell similar to a pungent gods green crack. A mix of sweet and herbal notes with a musky sour finish. Also that deep earthy smell from the death bubba. It's when it's smoked that the gsc comes out with a subtle gassyness from the bubba and pk. Bit of a salt and pepper ash but not harsh at all and doesn't effect taste.
It's definitely some potent stuff. Feel it in the head instantly with a soothing and relaxing buzz as well. Feels like your typical indica dominant hybrid and actually lasted a decent amount of time. Not sedating but definitely slowed me down.
**Early Girl**
Seeing the name of this strain one would assume it may be a wake and bake type but after reading it's description it seems quite the opposite. It's a cross of several landraces so the lineage is quite vague but there is some Afghani and North Indian involved. The buds came smaller to medium in size with a tight and dense structure and average mositure level not being dry or sticky. A mix of light and dark greens with a good trim to go along.
The nose is subtle at first, only picking up on hints sweet musk. When a nug is cracked open several other aromas are introduced like peppery citrus and sour earth. Not my favourite profile at first but it grew on me a bit. The taste is similar with the citrus and pepper flavours being dominant. Smooth in a joint with a light grey ash.
Very unique high for an indica and the way the effects slowly come on. At first It's more of a stimulating high with typical heady effects and you don't feel like you smoked much. After a while the body stone starts to take effect in creeping fashion with tingly limbs and all. Not super potent or sedating as it's generally a lower thc strain but relaxing nonetheless
**Jack Cough**
Quite easy to guess the lineage with this one. 2 classics, Jack Herer and Strawberry Cough grown by one of Carly's Gardens farms. This flower looks really well grown like all of the strains I tried. Tight structured, coned shaped buds, littered in crystals and pale orange hairs. Immaculate trim with no visible leaf whatsoever. Moderate moisture level within the buds with a slight stickiness.
The Jack definitely dominates the nose with this stuff with only notes of diesel showing any signs of the strawberry cough. Very pungent sweet and citrus aromas reminiscent of many classical sativas. The smoke is sweet/fruity and peppery with hints of citrus. Quite smooth on the exhale with a very light coloured ash.
This one had a noticeable uplifting, sativa driven buzz. Very go go go and functional type of high, great for mornings and getting things done. I spent the whole day doing yard work and this strain was perfect for it with no burn out or tired feelings either.
**Incentive**
These samples were offered from Carly's Garden over Reddit for honest reviews.
**Final Notes**
Carly's Garden is a new MoM that has some pretty cool and unique strains that her and fellow growers supply. Some seem to be micro grows and the descriptions on them are personalized to the strains themselves and not from leafly. They go into details about the lineage and who grew the particular strain and batch. Very nice touch and valuable info to the customer.
