Astro Pink Lot Numbers 6521, 1322, 0645 & Astro XO Lot Number 8680 sourced by Flashbuds

The astro pink packaging is innovative, they seal the bud within the bag so that the boveda within does not affect the terpene profile.

The Astro XO bag did not have the boveda for some odd reason, as you can imagine this completely dehydrated the bud.

Aroma 10/10
  • Boasts more limonene than a clementine, It literally smells like an orange cake.
Bag Appeal 7/10
  • The aesthetics are on point if you disregard the popcorn nugs. However, they are there and hence the reason for the rating.
Flavor 8/10
  • Even though the bud was dehydrated, the smell translated to the flavor. It honestly tastes bomb, I can only imagine how it would have tasted if it wasn't dehydrated. Literally tastes like citrus cheese. I gave it an 8/10 because there is no way I am getting the authentic flavor with dehydrated bud.
Smoke 10/10
  • White ash, clean burn.
Effects 9/10
  • It's a clear-minded couch lock.
Texture 2.5/10
  • The buds feel like dried mint because of the dehydration.
Summary
Final conclusions regarding lot 8680 I did not get what I paid for. There are two major issues here, w/ respect to packaging and production. This is pathetic at the price point. Those are legit popcorn nugs that grow at the bottom of the stems, they are not smalls. They should have stripped them from the plant. Anyone who has grown before knows you're supposed to cut them off during the flowering stage to promote primary cola growth, not sell them to customers. The second issue was failing to put a boveda in the bag.

Aroma 10/10
  • Smells like a Kush bomb.
Flavor 10/10
  • Real Kush Flavour. Strong pine notes, followed by vanilla and earthy undertone, This bud tastes amazing, just as a true quad should.
Smoke 10/10
  • Clean white ash. Smooth inhale and an even smother exhale.
Bag Appeal 10/10
  • She's one bad lady. All the buds look like those in the picture.
Effects 10/10
  • Initially, there is a cerebral rush followed by an onsetting euphoric effect. Overall, I feel happy, energetic, and ripped.
Texture 10/10
  • The buds are fresh, they stick onto your fingertips and have a nice Kush denseness.
Regarding lot 6521, I definitely got what I paid for.

For now, this is all I got, I will update the thread once I open the other packs. Happy Holidays.

Edit: I fixed some outdated text and also replaced a picture of astro xo with the correct one.

This isn't a "mom review," it's more of a strain review, so I've moved it out of the mom review section, and 2. your images are broken--best way to embed images is to upload to imgur and copy the bbcode forum hyperlink into the body of your post.

Best,

No problem, I took care of everything.

You have gone above and beyond to satisfy your customers. Hats off to you. I can only thank you and respect you for turning our bad holiday experience into something fruitful. *claps* Most MOMs don't realize how important it is to ensure the customers experience remains positive. I am sure you will also show the same courtesy to Quadpolice on Mompics who had a similar experience (link at the bottom).

Cheers and Happy New Years

Thank you folks! We have added a disclaimer about this batch of XO directly on our site and adjusted the price to reflect it. While we agree it still smokes fine, the appeal is not the same.

While we do try our best to ensure all our customers are happy and satisfied, sometimes a relationship can sour. We have reached out to the individual on the other Reddit thread linked but they are not interested in a refund or replacement. While this is unfortunate, we do understand that we were not proactive enough with this individual so we will take the blame and learn from this issue.

Cheers to everyone and have a wonderful start to 2020!

The important thing is that you are making all reasonable efforts to appease unhappy customers.

I just had to say this type of reply is role model worthy. I love how you guys did not discount his personal experience and took the blame. All people are different and so are situations. MOM's are human and therefore make mistakes. Instead of making excuses you did the honorable thing and took the blame. Flashbuds definitely has a business model built to last. Much respect and great work. *thumbs up* :mrgreen:
