[The Chrono] Platinum Blackberry Hybrid Indica Review | 4/5

Today we are looking at Platinum Blackberry from a Mail order Marijuana service, The Chrono.

I’ve had many platinum strains, but I have yet to try Platinum Blackberry. It is a cross of the classic Platinum OG Kush and Blackberry Kush.

It is an Indica dominant strain with a 70 to 30 ratio. The regular price is $11 a gram, which is quite reasonable for a bud like this. Straight out of the bag, it smells like a sweet berry with a little hint of grassiness. Reminds me of camping.

The surface of the bud is dense, and has a frosty rough exterior. The glistening trichomes all packed in together with a nice distribution of orange hairs. It’s a hard bud, but has some give when you press down on it while also being fairly sticky.

When we crack this bud open, we can see that there is a hidden cave of frostiness. Its fairly light on the inside compared to the outside. The leaves go a much lighter green as it goes towards the middle. The orange hairs aren’t visible on the inside, but you can also see theres a thicc layer of them coming from the surface. The trim on this bud is decent, I wouldn’t change much about it.
When ground up, the color is more of a mute green. The orange hairs are distributed evenly and looks quite nice. Up close you can definitely see how frosty it was prior as its quite dusty. The smell has more of a pine scent along with more of a grassy smell. The sweet berryness is still there, just not as prominent. Without the gloves on, it feels damp and but not as sticky as it was before grinding.

When vaping it, you can definitely taste the berry flavor. It’s probably the most prominent flavor. The other flavors you can taste while vaping this is a slightly harsh but not bad diesel taste. And then theres an undertone of pine which brings it all together. The taste is there throughout the experience but gets harsher as the flower heats up. The high with the vape isn’t bad, its a very even level headed high. I’m sure if I smoked more I would have trouble speaking. Based on vape alone, its a good flower to vape. It’s pretty flavorful but I have tasted this flavor many times before, it’s nothing new.

Unfortunately I can’t smoke any of this right now, but earlier when I smoked this in a joint, the larger amount of flower is what made this bud show its true colors. The high starts in the head and then slowly takes over your body with a sedating come down. Very good for people with insomnia or having trouble sleeping. The smoke was pretty smooth. Not a harsh smoke, but I did cough a couple times. No big deal. The taste had a more pine/diesel taste to it than vaping. The berry flavor was buried quite good. But the smell of the smoke had much more berryness than that of the vape. The clouds were nice, decent thick clouds based off how much I rolled which was about .5 grams.

The ash burns fairly white. A little darker towards the more packed parts. But overall in a joint or bowl the ash is almost paper white.

All in all, this is a fairly good flower for the price. $11 per gram, especially if you catch it on sale is decent. If the berry-like pine flavor and aroma interests you, then you should give this a shot. I would probably buy this again, maybe to share with friends.
