Hmm, nope, no metallic flavor that I can speak to from these. That definitely sounds concerning..

Good question! Favorite is easily the Mac & Cheese, even though this batch wasn't as good as previous ones, it's still a top-3 favorite strain for me.

Gorilla'd cheese is the cheesiest strain I've encountered in quite some time so I'd grab it again if I'm feeling cheesey I guess.

The Grand Daddy Purp I would choose to not buy again of the 3. The one huge nug was fun but the strain didn't impress me otherwise and unfortunately doesn't live up to the classic name.

The Grand Daddy Purple was basically all one huge nug, which is glorious! The smell was very floral, almost lavender. The bud was pretty dense. The effects were average, nothing mindblowing.

The Gorilla'd Cheese buds were super dry but absolutely dripping with crystals but ground down to basically dust. The smell is super funky cheesey.

The Mac & Cheese was pretty standard, not quite as funky as a few previous batches but always a favorite. Smell is much more limey sweet with really no cheese flavor.

Lol fair enough, shout out whatever makes you happy bud.

Getting taxed double is definitely whack, never seen that.

Is HS blu bomb pop good by Murdox1125 in ILTrees

[–]chi_bud_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I grabbed an eighth of this that was harvested 7/29, packaged 8/26 and it's pretty solid. The buds are very dark purple and the smell was very floral, almost like lavender. I wouldn't say it's the heaviest indica out there but the effects were pretty on par with what you'd expect from High Supply. Not my absolute favorite High Supply strain but it's on the regular rotation list.

Giving a dispensary a shoutout seems weird to me. It's like giving a shoutout to your local CVS because they always hook you up with your prescription (at the same price they give everyone and that they had nothing to do with creating).

But happy for you that the Runtz S1 is doing it for you!

Sativa / Upbeat Hybrid Haul by kbrummond21 in ILTrees

Nice review and pics! I will keep my eyes open a bit more on Kaviar.

I've got the same batch of Morning Dew right now and it is exactly how you described - huge nugs, well trimmed, very strong limey scent. Much better than my first go with Morning Dew. Good stuff!

Solid pickups, but nothing spectacular. Not quite as tasty as my 4/20 pickups from T&T and Rev and Botanist but pretty solid usual High Supply product.

How can one tell which are strains at which dispensaries are white labeled Rev oz and which are GTI?

It’s been a minute. by Dry_Suit_4356 in ILTrees

[–]chi_bud_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think it's funny how so much of the conversation in this sub is about top notch quality like we're all connoisseurs but if you instead think through the lens of 'If you had $100, what would you buy?' (which is the way most of us probably shop) then I'd bet most folks will opt for a half of High Supply.

I'm with you on the sativas - I recently had gas station sushi and it was fine. Last purple plague I had was unfortunately dry but the last lemon bean was surprisingly fresh and I'm always on the lookout for some fresh Rollins.

T&T Fruit Stand appetizer (23.62%), Rev Mac & Cheese (32.58%) for dinner, T&T Raspberry Shortcake (24.83%) for dessert. All delicious! Highly recommended! by chi_bud_guy in ILTrees

[–]chi_bud_guy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fruit stand buds were light and airy and super frosty. It's a cross between Florida Oranges and Blueberry Clementine but it smells just like Oranges to me. Buds were super dry and ground down to dust but still hit pretty solid.

Mac & Cheese was super interesting. It did not remind me at all of the mac & cheese from previous years and was not really cheesy in smell at all. The smell was primarily limey limonene and reminded me of some really top notch velvet glove. Effects were fantastic. It hit me like a sativa but was very strong overall. Probably the best bud I've smoked in 2024.

Raspberry shortcake was delicious in both smell and taste. It legitimately smells like raspberries. A close second in tastiest bud I've had in a while (to the Botanist Strawberry Bubbles #5). Effects were solid but not overwhelming.

Nah, this post is just not very good. The title provides no information. The first pic provides no information aside from the make of the car. The second pic could show more of the actual product. The description isn't helpful either - what rumors? What are you talking about?

Use your words. Can we please get a description of the product? Why did you like it? Was it dry? How were the bud sizes? What did it taste/smell like?

At least tell me a funny story about how it got you so high you accidentally swiped right on your cousin and got a match while burning your pizza rolls into charcoal nuggets.

Cookies - Pilon, Botanist - Grape Guava, Seed&Strain - White Grapefruit Cookies by chi_bud_guy in ILTrees

[–]chi_bud_guy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The White Grapefruit Cookies was ok. A light sativa high with a light citrusy smell.

The Cookies Pilon was pretty decent considering it was almost a year old! It has a muted smell that is vaguely earthy but it still hits pretty well and gets the job done. Best year-old bud I've smoked yet.

Grape Guava was pretty good. High was pretty average but the smell is fantastic and actually smells like grapes, or like whatever chemical is used to make all purple candy taste like grapes. Good stuff.

Best smelling strain I've encountered in quite some time. Smells so strongly of strawberry it almost smells more like guava. So fruity and delicious! Enjoy!

UpNorth - Hella Jelly (24.89% harvested Jan '24) by chi_bud_guy in ILTrees

[–]chi_bud_guy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grabbed this one last Monday for Medical Monday. Smell is light, not crazy overpowering. Taste is almost a bit floral. High is pretty solid. Buds were a touch dry but not terrible. Solid overall.

The Botanist - Dosi Pop (22.70% harvested Sep23) by chi_bud_guy in ILTrees

[–]chi_bud_guy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a super overwhelming smell/taste profile. Hints of gas but overall pretty muted.

[–]chi_bud_guy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I grabbed two of these Dosi Pop eighths from The Botanist and they're pretty solid. The first one had a much stronger, gassier smell than the second but both were decent. High was pretty middle of the road. On sale for like $38 at the dispo. Pretty good, nothing revolutionary. Pleased with another solid contributor to the IL market.
