MOM Name 3 Trees
Overall rating out of 10: 8/10
Incentive for Review: I saw that 3TC had just launched a few weeks ago so contacted Mike to see if he'd be interested with providing samples for a review as I hadn't seen any reviews of his product yet. The samples were provided free of charge.
Sign Up: Very Straightforward. Create an account, Upload ID, and you're good to go!
Ordering & Pricing: Their website is a little cluttered but it's not difficult to navigate around. They're focused just on buds for the time being but I think I read a comment from Mike on here saying that concentrates were coming(?) - don't quote me on that. Pricing is very fair - most of the strains are listed at $180/oz with sales on individual strains bringing that price lower.
Communication: Communicated with Mike directly throughout\\\d. Comes across as a very likable guy and clearly takes great pride in his product and that's reassuring when dealing with MOMs - especially if they're new. He's also very quick to respond to emails which is always nice.
Packaging: Packaging was straightforward but effective. The samples were provided inside of a vacuum sealed bag, with each strain separated by their own airtight resealable baggie - can't speak on their packaging for larger quantity orders. No smell or anything.
Products / Photos: Sample Pack containing Alaskan Thunderfuck, Black Diesel, Alien Cookies, Romulan
Alaskan Thunderfuck:
Starting off with my favourite of the lot. I was really hoping Mike would include the ATF in the pack so I was really excited when I saw it was there, and it didn't disappoint. The nug itself was nicely cured - dense with a nice stickiness to the bud. It gave off hints of citrus and pine but when broken up delivered a far more intense aroma. The smoke itself was very pleasant but the high was the 'high'light (sorry) - A clear, focused cerebral high that went in waves of intesity, it only took a few bowls in my Arizer and I was waaaay up there - I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a strain for creativity. I'll be ordering this again.
9/10
Black Diesel:
I've noticed recently that any strain with 'black' in it's name, I'm immediately drawn to. This bud was no different, giving off a beautiful deep sweetness with a hint of that diesel on the end. The nugs themselves were smaller, and leafier but were by far the most frosty of the samples provided. When vaporized, I found that the sweetness really gives way to that gassy diesel taste which dominates the flavour profile. It's a smooth vape, quite pleasant, but I found the high to be lacking when compared to the other strains provided, especially the Alaskan. It provided a nice focused buzz but wore off relatively quickly.
6.5/10
Alien Cookies:
Classed as a 50/50 hybrid, I found this strain to be far more indica leaning. Nice clear high to begin with but I found myself falling into the classic 'heavy eye' look quite quickly after that - evening use for sure. The bud itself was really nicely trimmed, and the nug was VERY purple on the inside. The scent it gave off included subtle hints of sweet earthiness and vanilla - mild but very pleasant. There's a noticeable sweetness on the exhale and is very clean to smoke through the bong.
7.5/10
Romulan:
These nugs arrived on the smaller side, but pack a heavy punch. Perfect as a before bed strain to put you on your ass for the night. The smell is completely pine with just the faintest hint of sweetness. The pine comes through very clearly when vaporized, and although I can hardly pick up any flavour notes when I passed it through my bong, the smoke itself was very smooth and easy on the lungs and throat. Left me feeling mellow and relaxed as the buzz covered my body - it'll be a fight to resist the call of your bed after a few bowls of this.

Notes: Overall I'm really pleased with the quality. The Alaskan thunderfuck was the highlight and I'll definitely be ordering that again in the near future. I believe their prices to be pretty reasonable and their customer support and communication was very good.
