City Trees - Chernobyl
Picked up some Chernobyl from City Trees and had to share, as this is one of the best jars I’ve opened in a while.
Grower: City Trees runs organic living soil, and you can taste the difference. This is true medicine: clean, flavorful, no harshness, white ash, and the full terpene profile actually comes through instead of tasting flat like a lot of the mass-produced stuff on IL shelves.
Genetics: Chernobyl is the old TGA/Subcool classic: Trainwreck x Jack the Ripper x Trinity. It’s a sativa-leaning hybrid famous for its lime/citrus “slurpee” profile, and living soil really lets that shine.
Bag appeal: Chunky, dense nugs completely frosted over with trichomes, light lime-green with orange pistils throughout. Sticky but properly dried and cured.
Nose & flavor: All the citrus notes really come out on this one: fresh lime and lemon zest up front, a little sweet candy undertone, and a light earthy/pine finish from the Trainwreck side. Even better on the exhale, and it holds its flavor deep into the bowl.
Effects: Spongey and relaxing in the body, yet not sedative at all. Head stays clear, mood lifts, and it’s very social. Great for hanging out with friends, conversation, cooking, or a walk. Melts tension without locking you to the couch.
Verdict: Excellent medicine. If you see City Trees Chernobyl, grab it, especially if you’re a citrus-terp fan or want daytime relief that still lets you function. Living soil craft flower like this is what IL needs more of. 🍋🌳
