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)

TYPE: Indica Dominant

ORIGIN: Red Run Cannabis Company (Barney’s Farm)

MEDIUM: Coco, growstones and Worm Castings

NUTES: Grandpa’s Earthworm Castings Fertilizer
Down to Earth – Bat Guano (9-3-1)(0-7-0)(3-15-0)Fertilizer
Down to Earth – Bone Meal  Fertilizer, Langbeinite Fertilizer, Kelp Fertilizer
Glacial Rock Dust & Earth Juice – Micro Blast Amendments
Humic Acid, Epsom Salts, Earth Juice – Cal-Mag, Diatomaceous Earth, Mammoth – Active microbials, Lemons or Limes Amendments

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.

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

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.

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.

STRAIN: Grape God
TYPE: hybrid
ORIGIN: Grapefruit/God bud
MEDIUM: Soil

LIGHTS: MH/HPS/T-8’S
NUTES: Private reserve, Family recipes
GROWER: GrizzWeed

APPEARANCE: hard, firm and dense
SMELL: Sweet, fruity and yet floral

BURN: Slow and even leaving a light grey to white ash at finish
TASTE: Distinctly sweet and fruity draw almost juicy. A robust flavor
EXHALE: mild light, excellent fruity aftertaste
HIGH: Quick come on with a heady buzz. That allows the user to stay happy and relaxed. Great as a AM or a PM smoke
MANICURE: High and tight but still leaving enough of the sugar leaves to add to the flavor.
OVERALL: An all around great smoke for either getting things done or for just a relaxing evening with friends

 

This is one of the top strains to be found in Alaska currently, The potent BC God crossed with the most excellent Grapefruit was a masterstroke and it is delightful to see this out in the hands of great horticulturists like GrizzWeed.

While GrizzWeed is a serious cultivator even in the hands of a novice first time grower I have been amazed at the yield and potency of this one.

Considering several encounters with this strain over the last year, each being a delightful surprise, and each encounter being with a different grower, I have decided that this is the best overall strain I have seen in 2015.

Strain: Kosher Kush

Type: Indica

Origin: DNA’s Reserva Privada seed line, Kosher Kush won the High Times Indica Cup in 2010 and 2011.

Medium: Hydro

Lighting: LED

Nutes: Classified

Grower: NLCC

Appearance: Tight and very sparkly.

Smell: Sharp Pine tones

Burn: Very clean

Taste: Baby, I promise I won’t…na, here it comes, you ready? Rich and full flavored, let’s you know it is going to be at work for a while.

Exhale: Yea, about that work thing, you should be able to tell by now that this is going to be an A ticket ride.

High: “Hello, I’m Kosher K, I’m just going to move into this corner of your head over here and play with the signal to noise for a while, yea, this wire can go over here, and this one…Oh, your still here? Go get a Pizza or something.”

Manicure: Excellent

Overall: I am savoring every puff of this first rate strain. I know it will be gone all to soon and I’ll only have memories that I can’t remember because this is some really fucking good weed. Very good pain relief, I can still sort of feel it, I just don’t feel it as an urgent thing…it’s more like I casually remember it is still there waiting for the medicine to wear off. But this has some serious staying power and a night of moderate (OK, my moderate might not match YOUR moderate, 4 joints, thin ones) smoking had me awaken with a very nice afterbuzz and feeling well rested.

This top shelf private reserve quality hydro I’m going to be following eagerly.

Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again
STRAIN: Purple Kush
TYPE: Indica
ORIGIN: Medical Seeds
MEDIUM: Hydro under LED
NUTES: CLASSIFIED
GROWER: NLCC
APPEARANCE: Sparkly and tight, not rocks but certainly not fluffly nugs either.
SMELL: Musty dankness, a good but not bold smell
BURN: Clean
TASTE: As to be expected from a PK, rich and flavorful.
EXHALE: Terpines lingering on the tongue, resiny
HIGH: 4 tokes in and I am suspecting a creeper. 8 Pm and my first toke of the day. Pain subsiding under a slow cresting wave, not a head rusher but a solid body stone and a pleasant head buzz setting in.
MANICURE: Tight , not excessive, just enough guard left to hold trichs.
OVERALL: Quite like the Purple Kush that has been my mainstay for the last decade, solid performer, looking forward to some rosin later tonight, I’ll try and remember to post pics. 8.3 Overall
