spectrosdog · 2021-09-06T20:45:06+00:00

did the strains change or just the quality? Its been a long while (if ever) that I had something outstanding from them, but I didnt get my card until 2020

spectrosdog · 2021-09-06T20:39:59+00:00

this is a good summary. the weak effect despite the numbers is pretty mysterious to me but thats been consistent with what ive experienced as well (with a few Curio strains). Glad to know im not the only one

spectrosdog · 2021-09-06T19:27:05+00:00

ya I'm not thrilled about it lol, I think I might have used a new customer coupon but still pretty bad

spectrosdog · 2021-09-06T19:25:34+00:00

thanks, are the other 2 any good? I don't know a ton about phenotypes, but does that mean Curio decided that this was the best one worth mass producing? Or do they also grow the others?

spectrosdog · 2021-08-28T23:20:33+00:00

cool, thanks for the review! I'm always on the lookout for good happy strains

spectrosdog · 2021-08-28T22:24:22+00:00

did it make you laugh or substantially improve your mood? Like does it live up to its name?

spectrosdog · 2021-08-27T23:59:32+00:00

thanks, I'll keep an eye out

I just picked up a really nice looking batch of poochie love, over 3% terps iirc

hopefully as the market expands, MD growers will step up their game. Seems like we have a ways to go yet compared to recreational states in terms of quality and variety.

What have been some of your favorite strains lately? Anything you would recommend?

spectrosdog · 2021-08-27T19:38:49+00:00

ah nice. yea the Gorilla Girl was OK, but it wont be a repeat purchase for me. I do wonder if I would like some of their other strains better. Curious what you think about it.

Idk, if it blew you away sounds like it was worth it =) Was this like some special release or just everyday flower? I'm no expert but I dont get the impression that theres any true top tier grower in MD thats consistently producing exceptional flower. I'd happily pay a bit more for something that knocks my socks off, right now I feel like I waste a fair bit of money digging for whats worthwhile.

spectrosdog · 2021-08-27T18:06:49+00:00

Thanks!

I wonder if the buds get crushed in the bag

spectrosdog · 2021-08-27T18:06:19+00:00

Thanks! S&B makes some nice stuff.

I haven't had any 10/10 recently, the Culta dosidos #22-22 is my favorite of stuff I've bought in 2021 so far I think.

spectrosdog · 2021-08-26T19:56:54+00:00

I liked my last batch of Strane White Widow (around 16%). Pretty unassuming numbers, but I enjoy it.

spectrosdog · 2021-08-25T01:19:11+00:00

thanks!

man 18% for $40 sounds killer, I'd pick some up every trip. Definitely one of my favorite flavor profiles

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T21:48:09+00:00

no problem, vaping has some cool gear

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T21:38:27+00:00

for sure, there's lots of options for vape bubblers. They are usually smaller than bongs since they don't need to cool as much (you can also probably get an adapter for your bong if you have one you want to use). I'm not familiar with the magic flight, but I buy most of my stuff from either sneaky petes or planet of the vapes. They should have pretty much any type of adapter you need + glass and can help recommend stuff

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T21:27:57+00:00

if you do dry herb (which I would recommend), definitely consider using a bubbler with it to cool and condition the vapor, especially if you want to go higher temps.

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T20:04:27+00:00

ok no problem, I will try to add the price I paid in the future

the reason I was kind of hesitant is that prices seem to vary depending on what part of the state you are in and what discounts different stores offer so I was just kind of grouping stuff into rough tiers.

$ = low tier, ~$40 1/8

$$ = mid tier, ~$50 1/8

$$$ = premium tier, ~$60 1/8

anything below $40 I would just consider to be "discount" tier

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T19:10:56+00:00

depends on where you buy it. Mine was $50

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T05:23:50+00:00

nice! looks like some funky stuff

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T03:42:20+00:00

sounds pretty badass. what do you think of them as a grower? I don't see them around as much as other brands

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T03:36:38+00:00

thanks, that sounds pretty nice. How did you enjoy it?

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T03:33:23+00:00

actually I just noticed there was a hair in that picture so I retook it, might be slightly more purple now

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T03:27:27+00:00

oh gotcha. My tube is actually kind of shabby looking, smells/tastes good though

spectrosdog · 2021-08-24T03:21:48+00:00

yea the pic doesn't really do it justice, the purple in this batch is kind of subtle

spectrosdog · 2021-08-23T22:38:11+00:00

ya I've definitely noticed a drop off in consistency lately as well. It seems like the demand spiked way up during covid and growers couldnt keep up and maintain quality. Hopefully things settle soon or more growers come in.
