Genetics : Tangie × Banana Sherbert
This Double Tangie Banana outsourced by Mr.Nice is a tasty cross of Tangie and Banana Sherbert. Vibrant light green in colour with wavy orange pistils scattered about. Quite dense too with a moderately sticky texture that grinds up perfectly and rolls itself in a joint. Also boasts a great cure as the buds come off the stem with a crisp snap. Cracking a nug apart reveals a generous amount of resinous, milky trichome heads.
The terp profile stays true to it's name and unlike the previous Double Tangie Banana I had elsewhere that was very disappointing, this one delivers, and then some. Zesty aromas and flavours of sweet, citrusy tangie, followed by subtle undertones of banana candy. Very pleasant tasting and easy on the lungs, providing a smooth, clean smoke with a light burning ash.
An extremely uplifted and upbeat sativa hybrid that is no slouch in the potency department either. Hits quickly and effectively, feeling it right behind the eyes and forehead. It's also not the type to bring on paranoia or anxiety, but instead is very euphoric and dreamy while remaining in a relaxed state. Great overall strain but especially stands out during the day.
White Death
By : quadcitybc
Another heavy hitter by Quadcity BC and even more overall impressive than the Pink Death in my opinion. Beautiful, vibrant greens and purples amongst a bed of orange pistils and crystals. Sticky and dense texture that leave the fingers clinging to each other but grinds up beautifully. Another great cure too as the bud isn't overly moist or fresh.
Not 100% sure on the lineage but after checking a few different descriptions of this particular cut it seems to be a cross of Rockstar Kush and Bubba Kush. This stuff absolutely stinks and only in the best of ways. Dank, pungent aromas of gas and earth with a lovely, candy-floral like sweetness. Heavy, thick smoke that carries over the same characteristics as the smell. Amazing flavour right down to the very end with a clean burn and ash. Huge oil ring too as this stuff was just oozing.
Last but not least, the high. Potent indica leaning effects that almost instantly changed the way I was feeling. From wide awake and alert to fully leaned back into my chair, eyes barely open, and in my own little zone as it's also quite heady. This seems like the perfect type of strain for just relaxing and melting away into the evening. Another banger from quadcity.
Pink Death
By : quadcity bc
Pink death by Quadcity. Beautifully appealing, densely compacted nugs, sporting a lovely array of deep purples and pine greens, all while being accented by long, rusty-orange hairs. Forms quite the contrast of colours, especially with the inclusion of the many greasy trichomes. Just a tad less stickier than the White Death but still resinous and perfectly cured, as well as tightly trimmed with minimal leaf.
The White Death, also by Quadcity which I will be soon reviewing, may have left such a good impression on me that it seemed to trump this Pink Death in the terpene profile. Definitely has that classic pink smell and taste, but slightly less floral and more pink bubba-ish with it's earthy finish and touch of gas. Super smooth and burned like a dream with no harshness at all. Rather effortlessly actually, probably being one of the smoothest pink variations I've ever had. Leaves a light, fluffy ash behind.
The high sets in fairly quickly as it eases one into a state of complete mind and body relaxation. Quite heady too with a certain euphoria that is common with most pinks. Not so heavy in a sleepy sense, but very potent, as it leaves you in a calm and almost lethargic, couch locked state.
Sundae Driver
By : Pacificanna
Genetics : Fruity Pebbles OG × Grape Pie
Only my second time trying Sundae Driver as I don't happen to see it around all that much. This particular craft cut is grown by Pacificanna and is a scrumptious cross of Grape Pie and Fruity Pebbles OG which are both delicious in their own respects. Dense, sticky buds that are pale light green in colour due to their very frosted out appearance, accompanied by thin, long, orange hairs. Also very well trimmed.
A unique terpene profile, with sweet and creamy hints of fruit, accented by deep undertones of nuts and perhaps what seems to be chocolate. It required multiple sniffs to convince myself but there is definitely something chocolatey in there. Translates super well to the taste, producing a creamy rich exhale that lingers on the pallet with notes of sweet, nutty grapes. Super smooth and tasty, as well as clean burning in both bong and joint.
The effects are pretty much self explanatory to the strains name as it actually left me feeling like one would on a slow, lazy Sunday. However, it did start off with a very uplifting and euphoric high that was later followed by a heavily relaxing, blissful, body stone. Potent, worry free hybrid, fit for any day of the week.
Silver Surfer
Fell in love with this terpene profile immediately. It's funky yet pleasant and multi layered, borrowing from both parents. Sweet candy and blueberries met with a pungent cheesy finish. Also some hints of spice and herbs after grinding. Impeccably carries over to flavour with a tasty combination of berries and herbs and a little earth as well. However, the cheese was only noticeable in the smell. Very smooth and easy on the lungs just making it a joy to smoke, burning with a light ash.
The high and effects are very sativa like in nature but as time went on it rounded off into more of a balanced hybrid. This is exactly the type of strain I would smoke to pick up my mood and bring me out of a lousy state. The energizing, clear headed effects of the SSH met with the euphoric, happy-go-lucky, relaxing traits of the blue dream. All wrapped together in a potent and super enjoyable daytime smoke.
Lemon Meringue
By : Private ACMPR Grower
Bred by : Exotic Genetix
This Lemon Meringue, although not the prettiest girl at the dance upon first glance, sure has some nice qualities. Dense and chunky in structure, with shades of olive and lime greens that are contrasted by peach coloured hairs and glistening trichomes. Very resinous and greasy looking with it's abundance of full, visible trichome heads. Neatly trimmed and perfectly cured following suit with all of the strains I have reviewed thus far.
Very aromatic profile, with a dominating smell of sweet, candied lemons followed by a diesel/fuel-like finish with some underlying skunk. As for the taste, it seems to lean a lot more on the skunky side with subtle notes of diesel citrus and hints of zesty lemon on the exhale. Produces a light coloured ash in a joint.
Heavily potent, hybrid like effects, producing a dynamic high that begins almost instantly after the first couple puffs. Very heady at first, with a dreamy, spacey type stone, followed by a gentle body buzz. Leaves you calm and relaxed enough to let the day flow by with ease but with enough energy to still be somewhat functional.
Big Cat Kush
Outsourced by : mrnicecanada
Genetics : Mendo Breath × Maximus
I've had this lovely strain one other time, also from Mr.Nice a couple months back and this batch looks quite similar but better structured. A cross of Mendo Breath x Maximus resulting in some sticky, resinous, and very dense buds, covered in a blanket of visible, undisturbed trichome heads. A spot on bag appeal with beautiful purple and green shading, and a sublime cure to match.
The profile reminds me of strains from way back with aromas of pine and earth, with pungent, sour citrus/diesel undertones. Seems like the chemdawg genes reign dominant. Similar tasting when smoked and even smoother and tastier than the last time. Couldn't even cough if I tried and I take some pretty big bong rips. Burned with a salt and pepper ash in a J.
Instantly hits between the eyes and forehead in an almost overwhelming manner especially if it's your first smoke of the day. Also brings on a very mood lifting, euphoric high that slowly transforms into a relaxing, mellowed out state. Great stuff for taking the edge off when feeling nervous or anxious as it's a potent, all around indica.
Spaceberries THCA Diamonds
Incredibly smooth to dab and literally felt like inhaling air. Not too much in terms of flavour as is known with pure THCA, although I did get a hint of berries that was subtle but very pleasant.
One dab was all it took to already feel the buzz setting in. Very potent, heady effects in the form of a spaced out and easily distracted high. The type where you jump from task to task or subject to subject when talking with someone. I love these types of highs but very counter productive for getting work done lol.
Tahoe OG Live Resin
The terps come out very nicely when dabbed with a smooth and easy on the lungs exhale. Flavours of lemon citrus and pine really nailing the OG nuances. I dab around 550 which is my sweet spot and this stuff leaves very little mess in the banger.
Found the high to be extremely evenly balanced as it was equally cerebral and euphoric. Upbeat but also relaxing and leaves you functional enough to get things done. Smoke a little too much however and the sedative side can creep up. Made for some great outside afternoon dabs.
