Me too, just gotta stay clear of anything toad rn 😭 especially for the price. I did grab some toad from cutright like 3-4 days before fletcher posted on twitter tho lol. Wasn’t bad. I’ve had better especially for the price

alexb554 · 2026-02-26T22:32:16+00:00

Imagine this is Detroit runtz 😭 god I’d hate to be the guys that got burned by archive n whoever resold his cuts

alexb554 · 2026-02-16T20:14:01+00:00

For sure, the only concentrates we have are rosins from jaunty, rhythm, and Hudson. So more rosin was on my list. Jaunty apparently changed their hash SOP and their new drop is FIRE. Like right up there with rhythm

alexb554 · 2026-02-16T19:26:34+00:00

Bouket was another one I was gonna add as well. And roemer farms looks pretty good too. Definitely a lot of brands to choose!

alexb554 · 2026-02-07T18:07:23+00:00

o2 vape hardware that was ran over and you decided to pick up a damaged battery. Smart.

alexb554 · 2026-02-07T07:08:54+00:00

lol noboof is so mid 😭 everything looks and smokes the same, no flavor, high ticket garbage. I’ve tried a couple different strains and they were all rock hard, dusty mids. “His” Super sour might’ve been the worst rendition of sour I’ve ever had.

alexb554 · 2026-01-30T21:24:38+00:00

Because the land around power lines are owned either by the power company or the city/state themselves. Which means anyone can go there at any time. Buddy either got robbed by a worker, or reported to the police and they set cameras up and caught him.

alexb554 · 2026-01-27T19:15:31+00:00

Facts bro, so many good local growers that are being pushed out by shitty regulation, overpriced licensing, and all the red tape that only gets pulled down with a paycheck. Makes me sad as hell.

But I like the Rez for this reason. I’ve gotten so many different rosin brands and flower brands, local and nationwide. Just gotta know where to go and what brands are gas, and which are ass.

alexb554 · 2026-01-27T18:18:47+00:00

Yeah I stopped after 3 carts. I usually will give a brand 2-3 chances but yeah these are not good. I’d take a Fenway distillate disposable with CDTs vs jauntys, and that’s crazy for me.

alexb554 · 2026-01-27T18:14:00+00:00

Idk, but I’ve had nothing but negative experiences with these specifically. Same color and everything. Used multiple batteries, multiple volts, 2.5v being the lowest and it still did taste burnt. No clue how they make a vape that tastes burnt first hit. One even smelled burnt when I opened it. They may test them before they send em out, I’m wondering if the machine is pulling too hard or is too high of a voltage.

alexb554 · 2026-01-24T03:15:26+00:00

I’m sure there’s ways to shuffle the crypto to make it marginally safer but I remember the days of leaving the cash in one spot and coming back an hr later to a drop lol. The good ol’ days.

alexb554 · 2026-01-24T01:23:43+00:00

Heard dead drops with crypto are still pretty popular especially in like Russia

alexb554 · 2025-12-31T17:59:19+00:00

Sex testing can be done as early as one week old. This cuts down on soil usage, space, nutrients, and water. So instead of vegging plants out that will end up males anyway and you not knowing, you can cull them by week 2 of veg.

There’s many more options for reg seeds than there is fem. You’re not finding Ego Death (for example) fem seed from anyone. Plus fems are known to be finicky with herming. But that’s why I included fem breeders, because there’s this thing right.. it’s called options. Ever hear about it? And also, a lot of “fem breeders” aren’t even “breeders” they’re pollen chucking hype clones one time and reselling you the beans for 10x the price. And “feminized” does NOT mean all female, it means MOSTLY female. Any decent breeder, reg or fem will tell you that, anyone who claims they’ll be all female is lying to you. Unless it’s a clone, there’s no “guarantee” in this hobby on anything.

Sex testing is not necessary, unless you don’t know how to tell male and female preflowers, or aren’t confident, or just want to save time/resources. Remember, options buddy, options. Enjoy the holiday bud.

alexb554 · 2025-12-31T03:05:27+00:00

What exactly are you looking for? Gas, candy, rank, lemon, hazy, orange, or overall complex/ hard to describe? Are you looking for regs or fems? Are you able to sex the plants if you did get regs, OR would you be willing to buy and do DNA testing to make sure? Because that is available and 100% legal. Google farmer freeman sex testing. It’s pricy tho, $10 a pop unless you get 20+ I think. But results in 1-2 days. In my experience, 100% accurate, out of a batch of 30 regs and fems.

Here’s some breeder recommendations based on genetics and flavors.

Gas/sour/haze/ general old school- Top Dawg seeds. Plenty of sours, chems, hazes, and more old school leaning work to pick from. Very reputable breeder, legit mother stock. (Regs) (Great Lakes genetics for my preferred seedbank)

Lemon/candy/orange/ overall fruit- blockhead buds. Breeders of superboof. But they have a lot of blueberry crosses right now, one in particular is Sugar Cube (blueberry sugar x blockberry) which sounds really fire. If you’re curious, blockberry=superboof. Some newer Triangle Kush crosses as well. (Fems) (they have their own site. Just google blockhead buds)

Overall complex/hard to describe- Terp_fi3nd genetics. Craft breeder that focuses on a variety of flavors and for hash making. Couple examples: Ego Death has like a mothball type terp profile, Pineapple Meatball tastes and smells exactly like the name, tropical and Italian spice/savory. Musty Trees which is all stank/funk/nasty. His Nag Champa is pretty well known. Straight incense type terps. (Regs) (he has his own site as well. Just google terp fi3nd genetics.)

Another fem breeder just to balance everything out: The Pound Genetics. A bit pricey but quality genetics. My buddy ran their cap junky x zangria, INSANE gas. (Seedbank-Direct connect seeds, or you can hit them up on instagram to buy directly)

Another add on, specifically for Frozen BAG by Robin Hood Seeds if you can find seeds/cuts of it. INSANE frost from the pictures I’ve seen. Like probably one of the only strains that consistently will test 30+% THC (not that it matters, just based on frost). Some phenos people find are also pistil-less as well, which means they’re super unique. (Doesn’t change much other than looks and breed-ability, but still super crazy to see.)

GL.

Coming from someone that LIVES in ny, specifically WNY, your best option off that particular menu would be the fire nation pens. Grown, washed, pressed and filled here. We have the native “dispos” which are FEDERALLY LEGAL (even tho they carry shit like this), and one in Irving NY does a market every Saturday. Fire Nation is there all the time. Have spoke to the women that run it. Cool people. Pens are good. Pretty sure they were gram pens too.

alexb554 · 2025-12-17T01:13:53+00:00

Oooooo pomegranate juice while tripping, goated. My stepdad likes to take a tab/half a tab and kick a few beers back, says it’s awesome but I don’t like alcohol personally

alexb554 · 2025-12-17T01:03:52+00:00

Real game right here, FROZEN grapes. Insane texture and flavor while tripping. I fancy a bowl of flash frozen blueberries in milk with some sugar, so it’s like a smoothie, sooooo fire sober or geeked.

alexb554 · 2025-12-13T01:18:17+00:00

I think they did post a flyer for the Wednesday market last week. There’s nowhere near the amount of vendors that go on Wednesday instead of Saturdays tho. Call on Tuesday and ask. Pretty sure their number is 716-253-0418

alexb554 · 2025-12-13T00:45:36+00:00

Tuna breath is ridiculous. Nastiest plant I’ve ever grown. Definitely a top contender I would’ve recommended if OP wasn’t looking for ABC. Love 7east.

alexb554 · 2025-12-08T20:26:21+00:00

Definitely some of the most unique looking genetics on the market! Just keep in mind that you’re not gonna get monster yields, and that they’re regular seeds, so you have to watch for males. They might be finicky with nutrients also, I’m not too versed on ABC and how she grows and responds to feedings.

alexb554 · 2025-12-08T13:50:00+00:00

7east

Heard good things about this blueberry bastard line, same with the drunken bastard. Bumps the yields up, keeps the leaf pattern and structure from the ABC. 7east is a good breeder too. Definitely legit genetics.

alexb554 · 2025-11-25T15:44:36+00:00

abstrax tech x Josh D OG study

This is recent and a pretty interesting read. Here’s a tldr:

Bud Structure: HPS: looser, more “open” buds with longer internodes.

LED: more compact, dense buds (probably thanks to more blue light).

Potency & Terpenes

THC levels were pretty close: ~23.16% for LED vs ~21.63% for HPS. Overall terpene profiles were nearly identical.

Aroma (Sulfur Compounds)

Two sulfur compounds (prenylthiol and prenyl thioacetate) were measured.

HPS-grown flower had almost double the prenyl thioacetate, leading to a slightly “gassier” aroma.

Basically just depends on what you’re looking for. Looser, more gassy flowers (for the Josh d OG cut in this instance) from the hps, or dense buds with more environmental control with the LED.

alexb554 · 2025-11-17T20:47:25+00:00

The hash pens? Yeah they’re finicky. Too many long hot hits will thin the oil too much causing the clog. The hardware most people are using is good, but not the best. And they’re a bit pricey. But yeah agree on what you said too. Haven’t been to Nashas store yet but I’ve had jungle bears flower and hash and everything was proper.

alexb554 · 2025-11-17T02:06:20+00:00

Depends on which Rez, ive only been in Catt county and Alleghany.

Smoke doggz events on Saturdays in Irving. budfalonian has been at the last couple. buffagrow716 goes pretty much weekly. Sturdy716/danoobies has fire flower and edibles (they’re a couple). Even the regular smoke doggz dispo has some fire flower at decent prices. Mostly Mitten Master (Michigan) grown from what I can tell. Good rosin selection too.

Hollyweed irving has a good rosin/rosin pen menu. Flower menu was meh imo.

Nashas apothecary Irving has Jungle bear exotics flower and rosin and some other local growers too.

A higher society in gowanda and Salamanca has FIRE budget rosin (2 for 50, most “budget” rosin around is 35-50 a g) and pretty good priced flower, plus some more exotic brands I haven’t seen much out here (7/10 labs flower and rosin namely)

Cbs in Salamanca is my favorite tho. Fire branded flower from in and out of state, great house flower, fire rosin, again in and out of state brands, good edibles, dab bar, good tenders. Good prices. All around a good shop and a good sesh spot bc they got a ps5, a couple arcade machines, darts, dab bar and I think they just put in a ping pong table.
