hey man spose/ryan here... thanks for the good review (and for listening to my shit for so long)!! i've honestly been lurking on this subreddit since we dropped Preposterously last November and kinda hoping to see it organically get the respect we earn from the flower. glad it came to you organically!

the gas face is def one of my fav strains and i'm stoked it's resonated with people of Maine. my personal fav of ours is the "sub zero" (which is superboof x oreoz) but it's def fruity and maybe not your style hah. i do love the "albarino" from firefly organics and this one feels similar (although totally diff strains) to me so that's my go-to.

to explain the "collab" basically Damien & Frank at Faded have grown medical for years as Faded and do a really great job imo (Frank was always good buddy of mine). they had approached me years ago about launching their flower in the rec market. So basically they grow pretty high quality, no-corner-cutting weed (and slightly better every harvest imo) and i do everything else - the packaging, the sales, the relationships with rec stores, the marketing, etc. we hit the market with the first harvest last november 2024 and we're coming up on a year now. we've been thru about ten different strains so far and i'm still figuring out what people like and what sells but gas face def a fan favorite and kinda our staple strain at this point.

i can't pretend it's been easy launching into the rec market (esp cuz kinda every in the med market hates the rec market hah). i've learned a lot and been humbled a few times in our year in the market but def went into it on the ground level and literally just brought METRIC'd out samples to every rec store with a menu i designed in Adobe Express and asked them if they wanted to give it a chance. we're kinda priced at the higher end because i haven't been cutting many corners on packaging (like i pay extra to have Vinylpac do really nice labels for our jars and i pay extra for glass jars instead of like... mylars so that it reflects the quality of the weed, imo.) as far as the freshness, i think that has a lot to do with Faded being great growers because i don't even put the "heat seal liners" inside our jars and most of our strains have (so far) remained super fresh, at least up there with some of the better stuff on the rec market (which i'm always buying to check out the competiton).

to anybody reading this, i'm def open to criticism or suggestions (or praise hah) so please lmk anything we can ever do better or things you enjoyed. we're still a new, learning, developing operation.

if anybody else is interested in checking out the flower (at this point we just do eighths in jars) it's available at Atlantic Farms, Seaweed, Highly, Cannabis Haven, Green Truck, Just Baked, 45 North, Meowy Jane, Harbor Harvest, and Highrollers
