Strain: Sour Diesel

Type: Mainly a Sativa – (believed to have descended from Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk.)

Potency: Estimated 19% to 22% THC

Origin: Crop King Seeds

Medium: Soil

Lighting: 1000w HPS

Nutes: Sensei bloom

Grower: Art Tic Jester – MatSu

Appearance: Tight bud, very dense trichome representation.

Smell: VERY nice heavy earthy, absolute diesel aroma.

Burn: Clean and even

Taste: Sweet, earthy, you can feel the THC rolling over your tongue.

Exhale: I didn’t make it that far on my first good hit. It knocked me the hell out! Sweet and citrus, very flavorful.

High: OK, I’m up! Let’s go do something! I want to clean the yard at 3 AM! This strain delivers just about the ideal combination of brain enervation and body stone, great stress reliever which I enjoy just as much as the general pain relief aspects, both of which it has in spades.

Manicure: Very tight hand trim

Overall: This could easily become one of my favorites. Art Tic Jester has really stepped up his grow game with this one and I’m hoping he keeps it in the lineup (and shares some cuts, hint, hint). Certainly not a bed time bud, this is a wake and bake wonder if I ever saw one. I tried a clean pipe hit and decided this needed a joint. I started breaking up the bud and there wasn’t any crumbling involved, this was more like reducing a wad of sticky playdough to tiny bits. I’m going to have to try squishing one of these beautiful buds as soon as I can remember where I put my Norelco Rosin Press.

I’m going to give this one 8.5 out of 10 leaves!

Strain: Dark Angel

Type: 50% Indica / Sativa – (Cheese X Jack Herer)

Potency: Estimated 15% to 20% THC

Origin: Crop King Seeds

Medium: Soil

Lighting: 1000w HPS

Nutes: Sensei bloom

Grower: Arctic Jester – MatSu

Appearance: Tight bud, nice trichome representation.

Smell: Very nice heavy Limonene, not a skunk but certainly not Hay.

Burn: Clean and even

Taste: Sweet earthy draw, nutmeg aftertaste lingers on the tongue.

Exhale: Wait…what…ohhhh…yea…there it is…a little expansion, some spiciness, a head rush.

High: I can’t remember if I had any notable pain a few minutes ago, I’m pretty sure I did but it is all better now. It rolled on fast and seems to reaching a plateau about 4 tokes in. Not couch locked certainly, I might go out and dance in the yard. (An or two later and I’m still sitting here, chair locked.)

“It begins with a spacey happy head rush that leaves you introspective and dreamy, with your mind soaring in vibrant thought. As your mind disappears within itself, your body will fall victim to a relaxing full body stone that leaves you helplessly couch-locked for hours on end. These effects make Dark Angel a patient favorite for treating chronic pain, muscle spasms, spasticity,” – allbud.com

Manicure: Very tight hand trim.

Overall: An upper mid grade to lower Top Shelf, quite nice stone in body and brain, a well balanced strain, but Jack is always a good performer and cheese seems to be a popular performer for crosses.

From Crop King Seeds: “An excellent strain to chill at home or for moderate pain relief while allowing for mind exploration. The leaves will be dark green and minimal, while the nuggets will be compact with THC crystals and aromas of coffee and nutmeg.“

 

STRAIN: Kenai River Kush AA (Critical Mass X OG Kush)

GROWER: Kachemak Walker

APPEARANCE: Wonderful tight bud with quality trim job. Lots of trichomes, borderline frosty.

SMELL: Typical Kush

BURN: Clean and pure to white ash.

TASTE: A sweet earthy draw with lingering spicy undertones. I almost detect a hint of chocolate but that could just be the Mocha I’m drinking.

EXHALE: Please, try and remember to do so.

HIGH: Ever been slapped in the head with a Kenai River Salmon? This shit don’t fuck around! Try and avoid operating heavy machinery. It took me over a week to get this review done because every time I smoked some my mind wandered off into some other room. Great strain for Couch Surfing or discovering new patterns in the water stains on the ceiling.

MANICURE: Outstanding hand trim.

OVERALL: From Red Run’s website: Kenai River Kush is a mostly an Indica strain that blends together two famed cannabis staples, Critical Mass and OG Kush. Aromatic notes of earthiness and spice usher in a calming sensation that relaxes the mind and body. Kenai River Kush pairs a staggeringly high THC content with a moderate dose of CBD, making this strain a perfect nighttime selection.

go into the woods and breathe

STRAIN: Salmonberry Bomb

TYPE: Indica Dominant

ORIGIN: Red Run Cannabis Cultivators LLC

MEDIUM: Hydro

NUTES: Organic

GROWER: Red Run Cannabis Cultivtors LLC

APPEARANCE: Sparkling and redheaded

SMELL: A notable pine/diesel smell, the high pinines give it the slight turpentine aroma.

Pinenes are the primary constituents of turpentine. Pinene has also been used as anti-cancer agent in Traditional Chinese medicine, also for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, expectorant and bronchodilator properties.

BURN: Clean white ash

TASTE: Very bright, fruity almost, good flavinoids that linger on the tongue, the pinenes are high, limonene and linolool low so not much spice.

EXHALE: Sort of musky, or is it musty, reminds me of either Columbian or old cabins.

HIGH: right to the head, one hit…(OH, yea, I lit a joint 15 minutes ago, now where the hell did I put that? Oh, I’m still holding it.)

MANICURE: Top quality, tight, buzz(!) cut.

OVERALL: I have to give this a very high rating, nice oder, sweet taste, at under .1% CBD there is not at big dry mouth, (slight correction, an hour in and most of the joint down I’m thinking a cup of coffee would be pretty awesome) 16% THC/THCA total gives a very nice head buzz which seems to be where this likes to live. I have a nice light body buzz after an hour but the head is clean and right where it needs to be.

About Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel is considered a “Top Cash Crop” by experts. This extra-dank weed breed delivers an energetic, psychedelic high. Also known by the name “Sour D,” this world-famous strain has a presence that’s really strong and reeks of fuel. You’re left ready to tackle your accomplishments, instead of feeling “couch lock,” allowing you to have a good time filled with good vibrations.

This sativa-dominant cannabis is mixed with 60% sativa and 40% indica. It’s fast-acting and delivers cerebral effects that leave you feeling dreamy and energized. As a medical cannabis strain, it offers some very effective medicinal qualities. Consumers use it to help combat and get long-lasting relief from depression, pain, stress and other ailments.

Sour Diesel seeds grow into tall plants with 20% THC and 0.20% CBD contents. These plants grow best in sunny, warm climates. They are prone to powdery mildew, so experts place their growth level at hard. But, with the right growing techniques, these plants can flourish both indoors and outdoors. This feminized strain of cannabis was named after its aroma, which smells of diesel fuel, and tastes of tropical fruitiness.

Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again

Strain: Sour Diesel 

Type: Sativa Hybrid

Origin: Cali Connection

Medium: Hydro

Lighting: LED

Nutes: CLASSIFIED

Grower: Northern Lights Cannabis Company

Appearance: Tight, sparkly, very dense buds

Smell: Earthy, almost a chocolaty smell, very inviting, can’t really find the “skunk” heritage on the sniff test.

Burn: Clean, thick and flavorful inhale.

Taste: Rich, I can feel it coating my tongue, very nice promising flavor that does not disappoint when it gets to the high.

Exhale: Please remember to do that.

High: YES, there is a serious high that starts before you remember to exhale. Very cerebral, a good “Let’s get’er done” high. My mind does tend to wander a little (4 days I’ve been trying to get this review out)  because I keep thinking of better things to be doing at the moment, or see a funny cat meme and end up watching 30 minutes of Darwin Award videos.

Manicure: Tight, no fluff, no scruff, just the good stuff.

Overall: Solid 9, a performer that does not have me waking up with keyboard imprinted in the side of my face. I’m told that after a few years regular users report some jitters and anxiety from this strain that does not happen with NY Diesel so it should be put in a rotation with other strains if your going to become a constant consumer.

I pressed out some rosin to run through my new DipStick, not a real gusher but a decent press out, a second press would bring a little more, and a 3 ton press would really do the trick. Excellent L Limonene dominant terps coming off the pressed and decarbolated rosin/bud.

STRAIN: Ripped Bubba
TYPE: 60% indica-dominant hybrid, resin-heavy Pre-98 Bubba Kush with the flavorful and euphoric sativa Jack the Ripper
ORIGIN: TGA Genetics
MEDIUM: SOIL
NUTES: UNK
GROWER: Chugiak Red(?)
APPEARANCE: Red hairs abound!
SMELL: Earthy with some skunk, enticing
BURN: Light gray ash, clean
TASTE: Very nice, sweet and thick with resiny goodness
EXHALE: Like a fine hashish, expansive
HIGH: Right to business, head high starts on the exhale, nice uplift down the trail
MANICURE: Most excellent, nothing but bud onthis one, red hairs dominate
OVERALL: This one gets a 9, great bud, 9.5 on the trim, 8.5 on the high.

In a unanimous vote the City Council of Wasilla, in spite of public testimony running over 2 to 1 in opposition, approved the banning of cultivation, retail sales and testing within the City limits. The City that potentially stood to make the most from Alaska’s legendary Matanuska Thunderfuck and the other legendary cannabis strains grown here has opted out, eliminating any and all cannabis other than private dwellings growing their 6 plants and smoking them in the privacy of their own homes.

Councilman David Wilson, Council Seat A, presented the only reasonable excuse for voting to ban commercial grows with his logic that the City would then be presented with having to try and deal with Federally sanctioned “drug money” that they could not legally deposit or spend.

With an attendance that made me question the legal capacity of the Council chambers over 4 hours of spirited public testimony was led on the Pro Ban side by the Church group that showed up with horror stories of how legal, tested and taxed cannabis would destroy the children. Many made claims about friends or family who had their lives ruined after they used Pot and then got addicted to Meth or some other drug (the stupid truly burned brightly). The Anti Ban side was mainly led by Combat Veterans, elderly business persons, young hopeful entrepreneurs and people concerned with safe and legal access to medical cannabis. All of their reasoned and logical pleas fell on deaf ears it would seem as the council quickly moved to the vote and returned a unanimous “fuck you” to the cannabis industry.

 

 

 

Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again

Strain: Moose Nugget

Type: Assorted

Origin: The bottom of a stash box

Medium: Rare

Lighting: 28″ LCD Monitor

Nutes: Hormel Chile with Rice and Chedder Cheese

Grower: Nothing growing on it that I could see.

Appearance: Greenish, lots of kief, a few little bits of shatter and something that looks like a freeze dried raisin.

Smell: Sort of like a cat pissed in an old jock strap.

Burn: rather like a coal furnace

Taste: Earthy, flowery, lemony, cat pissy, grapefruit and blueberry with a hint of chocolate.

Exhale: More like an explosive aspiration than an exhale, this stuff is not the atmosphere of your home planet!

High: I waved as I passed the ISS…

Manicure: Yea, I could use one, and a pedicure too.

Overall: Imagine that over the last 6 Months you have dropped some of the best weed in Alaska in one box, loading bowls, ripping dabs and rolling joints out of it until there is a deep layer of mostly trichomes and flakes of shatter and then roll that into a fat joint and try and write about it 1/2 way through…ooo…there’s a chip of lemon wax…I remember that!

Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again
A newly discovered Cannabis Sativa variation has been found growing in and around the “safety zone” within the Fukashima Prefecture in Japan. Initial field reports indicate that Fukasativa seems to be a self flowering and self aware strain.

“The high begins when you first inhale, but the fun begins when you pack it in a bowl, this critical chronic is so close to critical mass it self ignites when packed. The initial effects are like having the top of your head blown off from the inside then it settles down and burns way down deep until it once again explodes up and out leaving your mind a cratered, smoking ruin.”

Scattered reports of attempts to create concentrates tend to include mumbled last words from the survivors like “I saw God” and “Fukasativa fukauover!”

Several Seed Banks have attempted to collect seeds from this new strain but thus far they have proven to be elusive and much to cunning for traps even at seed stage.
