Hawaiian Haze - Sour Family Farms

I've been sleeping on this one for a while due to all of the other options currently on the market. This Hawaiian Haze (Trufaloha x Chimera #3) is 9 months old yet it has still retained almost all of its quality outside of being mildly dry. I didn't notice it last night when I cracked this open but these buds are absolutely coated in crystals. It has a nice sweet candy dried fruit pineapple smell to it that comes through in the taste as well. The hazy and euphoric sativa-leaning effects come on quickly and settle in over time into physical relaxation territory. This isn't my favorite SFF strain I've tried, but that's because I enjoy the LMNO-Z and SNL from them just a bit more. It's still one well worth checking out if you see it on your local menus 🔥🔥🔥

Amber Live Resin Disposables

This might be the worst tasting cannabis product I've ever had. A mix of doo doo and leafy plant matter and no terps whatsoever. The hardware is nice and produces decent sized hits, and the effects are solid and headache free, but man that taste is beyond god awful. Anyone in here know why it tastes the way that it does? I wanna make sure that it's just shoddy product and not anything dangerous to worry about. Appreciate it 🤙

Dante's Inferno #8 - Redemption Botanicals

And for the other weekend pickup I scooped this eighth of Dante's Inferno #8 (Oreoz × Devil Driver) from Redemption. I forgot that opening a Redemption jar effectively destroys the label lol but I believe that it said 2.3% total terpenes. It isn't too strong right out of the jar, but it gives off a wonderful mix of spicy pepper and a dessert-like sweetness that I can't specifically pin down flavor wise. The trichome coverage is among the most dense that I've had from any flower all year long. The indica-leaning effects are more relaxing and stress-relieving than knockout-level sedating, and it's felt much more throughout the entire body rather than focused behind the eyes and in the head. I would totally grab this again, but if any of Redemption's Blue Lobster family strains are also available I think I'd take the Deep Ztate #2 (or just try another new RB BL strain altogether). It's still a quality smoke and pickup though 🔥🔥

Sour Cheese Berry - Otherside

This Sour Cheese Berry (Sour Diesel × UK Cheese × Trainwreck Blueberry) hits the nail right on the head with the name it was given. It has a complex mix of sour citrus, musky cheese and pine with a hint of blueberry that becomes more notable when broken/ground up. It's super super sticky like almost every other Nez/Otherside strain that I've tried which is nice. The sativa-leaning hybrid effects are bright yet mellow at the same time, it's a functional mood booster that still hits heavily behind the eyes and throughout the body. If you've been looking for a solid cheesy strain like I have then this one will satisfy 🔥⛽️🧀🫐

Dark Ritual - Poetry Of Plants

This Dark Ritual (Mochi Runtz × Sherb Cream Pie) may be from last December but these nugs are still fresh and dank. I always gotta point out how Legacy is doing it right with their curing methods and this 4 month example is no different. It has a gassy sweet dessert smell that translates nicely to the taste for me. The effects lean towards indica and quickly had me relaxed and glued to my seat after getting home for the day. Sweet dessert strains typically aren't my first choice but this one really is doing the job for me 🔥🔥

Grapefruit Chem - Sour Family Farms

I finally learned how to zoom in on flower a bit better for the glamour shots... lol. This Grapefruit Chem is some of the wildest smelling flower that I've had in my life. It reeks of straight BBQ grapefruit right upon opening the bag, and the funky taste translates nicely when smoked. The balanced hybrid effects are potent and uplifting and made getting things done around the house much more enjoyable for me

This is another fine example of Legacy's method of long curing (6 months for this Grapefruit Chem) really bringing the flavors out and to the next level. The buds are still fresh and mildly spongy despite being harvested 10 months prior, so I wholly trust their growing process to produce some banging flower after so many fire pickups. I highly recommend grabbing this one to try if just for the crazy BBQ smell it has, the quality and potency feel like bonuses tacked on to an already stellar flower experience

Hazemat - Safety Meeting

This Hazemat (Chem 4 × Carbon Fiber) is some downright absolute straight gas. I checked the package date and saw the 9 month cure time and I was immediately sold on it. I've developed some high standards for Legacy's flower after enjoying much of their lineup but this is a cut above the rest imo. The Chem 4 comes through in the cross with a pungent mix of pine and citrus, with some gas and classic Chem funk in the smell/taste profile as well. The effects are heavily indica-leaning and will roll and smoke you even if you have a higher tolerance. If you're someone who has been searching for potency this strain will do you just right 🔥🔥🔥

Motorbreath - The Botanist

Right out of the bag this Motorbreath (Chemdawg × SFV OG) has that unsavory floral/plant matter smell which sometimes isn't a good sign but I get some nice pungent citrus and pine out of it once ground up. These fresh buds are seriously sticky and dense and will glue your fingers together even if you're just pinching some to pack a bowl. The heavy indica effects are calming and sedating which could make this a great option for those looking for a nighttime sleep aid. I highly recommend giving this one a try if you see it on your local menus 🔥🔥🔥

Khalifa Mints - Khalifa Kush

I had some rewards points saved up so I treated myself to trying a new to me top shelf brand. These buds are super sticky and right up there across the board with all the other craft heavyweights I've tried. It has a pungent minty doughy smell and taste and it hits quickly and heavily behind the eyes after the first hit. Khalifa Kush had carried a lot of hype in my mind especially at their price point but this is some truly excellent smoke that I highly recommend 🔥

Berry Bonds × Blueberry Sugar - Korner Boyz

This Berry Bonds × Blueberry Sugar smells like fresh blueberry muffins right out of the oven, it's gotta be one of the most pleasant smelling strains that I've had this year. The buds are dank, dense and spongy but only mildly sticky. The effects are rather balanced at first, but over time it turns into a classic couch-lock indica that had me taking a mid-day nap. If you're someone who loves their sweet dessert flavors this is one you can't miss imo 🔥

Korner Boyz Mylar Bags

I barely applied any pressure when opening my mylar bagged eighth and the seal immediately broke open like this. These bags feel like they're barely above Ziploc quality when it comes to the type and durability of plastic used. My eighth of Berry Bonds × Blueberry Sugar is fresh and dank but Korner Boyz y'all need to start using better quality packaging because I've never had this sort of tear happen with any other companies' bags in 6 years

Sweet Sweet - Legacy

This Sweet Sweet (Skunk #1 phenotype) has a pleasant sweet lime candy smell and taste with an underlay of old-school musky skunkiness to it as well. The skunk isn't as noticable in the flower itself, but the smoke that's created is very reminiscent of that classic skunk-y weed smell on a city block or at a festival on a hot summer day. The potent sativa-leaning effects are bright yet balanced enough to make this a solid option for any time of the day. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys their lime and/or those who appreciate some classic Skunk genetics 🔥

Valley Girl - Legacy

Legacy has been great to me lately so I had to grab yet another new to me strain to try today. This Valley Girl (SFV OG × Face Off OG Bx1) is listed as sativa-dominant but it's effects are very reminiscent of the indica-leaning lineage of its parent genetics. The cure and the dense, sticky nugs all earn top marks for me, as this is a dank and stinky eighth that has instant bag appeal. The smell is a mix of earthiness and citrus with a sharp hit of pepper at the end, it pleasantly reminds me of the Face On Fire that I had recently which also has the Face Off OG Bx1 present in the cross

I can't say enough how happy I've been with the quality of my recent pickups from Legacy. The flower quality is steadily top notch, and the numerous cuts of classic + iconic strains are very much welcome in a market that can occasionally lean towards hype and trends. It's always great fun to learn about the old school genetics of a strain before proceeding to get a fire batch that nails the terpene profiles/effects of the parent strains. I put their Face On Fire slightly above this Valley Girl, as the smell and effects are similar but I prefer the extra relaxation and sleepiness that the FoF gives me. I highly recommend this one to all types and tolerance levels of smokers 🔥🔥

Alien Rock Candy - Legacy

This Alien Rock Candy takes the cake for the frostiest Legacy strain that I've had so far. It has a unique scent/flavor profile which I get a mix of pine, candy apple sweetness and earthiness from. The effects come on nearly instantly and are a nice functional balance of indica and sativa for me

The 2.2% CBGA in this batch helps to make it a great option for full body relaxation and possibly chronic pain relief. I was feeling beat all day today from working out yesterday but this strain helped with the soreness in my legs quite nicely. With all of these recent bangers from Legacy it's getting difficult to pick a favorite. I'd highly recommend this one to all types and tolerance levels of smokers 🔥

Purple Diesel - Otherside

The bag appeal of this Purple Diesel instantly sent me when I opened it up because these buds are absolutely coated in trichomes. It smells of grape candy and gas and man does it stink up the area when broken/ground up. I can't quite pin the specific candy taste down (grape Nerds or Sweet Tarts maybe?) but it smokes and tastes just as nicely as it smells

I had high hopes for this strain after loving Otherside's Donny Burger and Gelato #33 and this might be my new favorite of theirs. The sweet candy gas of the Purple Diesel is incredibly tasty and the effects are beyond on point for a sativa-leaning hybrid. If you're as big on smell and taste as you are on potency then this is one that you can't miss imo

Face On Fire - Legacy

This has to be my favorite strain that I've tried from Legacy so far. The Wifi #43 is much more present than the Face Off Og in the genetics here. The citrus and pine notes smell wonderful right out of the bag and the buds are spongy and sticky. It's bright and uplifting at first but give it some time and it develops into a relaxing head and body stone. If you love potent well-rounded hybrids and/or want some classic mid-late 2010s WiFi terps I recommend keeping this one on your radar to try

Gary Payton x Fish Scale - Legacy

The buds are nice and fresh but there are an excessive amount of sugar leaves left on them. Not much of a smell out of the bag but there's some sweetness and gassiness that appears when ground up. The high is calming and relaxing enough yet it leaves a bit to be desired knowing the strain's potent indica leaning lineage. I don't think I'd pick this up again until a future batch comes out to compare it to. I thought I'd still post it here in the event that someone has this in their options and is curious about the current quality

Gushers × Strawnana - Legacy

These are some of the densest buds that I've had in a while. They're fresh, sticky and could probably do a bit of damage if chucked at someone due to how utterly rock-like they are. I get a lot of the Strawnana plus some floral undertones when I grind it up, it isn't really translating to the taste for me but it does smell quite nice

As nice as the flower quality is the effects are where this strain really shines. This potent hybrid smoke had me set before I even finished my bowl, it immediately hits behind the eyes and throughout the body upon taking the first rip. The high CBGA present in this batch could make it a great choice for those looking for a late day/evening smoke to assist in winding down before going to bed

This Gushers × Strawnana and SFF's LMNO-Z are the first Legacy strains I've tried and they've both been phenomenal pickups for me. I made a post the other week asking the subreddit about Legacy's current lineup and what to get and y'all came through with some great recommendations lol

LMNO-Z - Sour Family Farms

This strain absolutely smacks me with lemon and citrus when I open the bag. I haven't heard the term used in years but this is some loud smelling bud for sure. The harvest date is from last December yet the nugs are still fresh and very sticky which is awesome

The effects hit me almost immediately upon packing a bowl and man is this a potent one. It's quite heavy and potent yet it still feels functional, this could be a good one for either focusing and engaging yourself in an activity or for kicking back and relaxing

LMNO-Z is my first buy from Legacy and I'm beyond satisfied with this flower, it's top of the line in every aspect imo. I'd highly recommend this one to all types and tolerances of smokers

LA Kush Cake - Belushi's Farm

In the past two weeks Belushi's Farm has gone from a brand that I initially wrote off to one that's been blowing my mind more and more with every new strain that I pick up. These buds are the most quality I've received yet from them, filling in my eighth with two ultra-frosty examples. I put roughly a half gram in my grinder and I was getting a lot of resistance trying to grind it up, it's dense and dank and super sticky. The smell and taste remind me a bit of Wedding Cake and Ice Cream Cake. It's sweet and vanilla-y tasting but I also get a powerful pine taste on the exhale

The indica-leaning effects hit me quick and are wonderfully heavy from the get go. I managed to find another strain that tests for high amounts of CBGA, which is noticably present here with how exceptionally relaxed this strain gets me feeling. Belushi's Farm has been banger after banger in my recent experience, I'd highly reccommend this one for anyone who is looking for a heavy night-time wind-down strain
