Croptober 2021 and Fall Happenings
In classic fashion, October is gone in the blink of an eye. Croptober gives, but it also takes…..
Trimming work requires good smokes, good tunes and good people. Curing requires patience, routine, and using your nose. TERPALICIOUS…………SO DELICOUS!!!!! And then we REJOICE, give thanks and consume the bounties of the harvest, the Blessed Sacrement.
Visiting the fields in Port Perry (Aleafia Health / Emblem Cultivation Site)
Luckily, I have been smoking my way through this busy season and testing lots of great new products along the way. These are my half to fully baked thoughts and musings:
Cruuzy - The Big Dip (3.5g)
Dense nugs, with a deep state high
Nice resin ring, nice scent and taste
Since my last post on Galaxie Brands, they have been acquired by the Green Organic Dutchman
Divvy
Thanks to the team for giving me a tour of the fields and outdoor grow. As a longtime patient with Emblem, it was nice to see many of their classic cultivars being grown in person. Sour Kush has been a longtime favourite along with Delahaze, Jean Guy, Alien Dawg, and MK Ultra.
The new Divvy pre-rolls smoke great and come in a really great case. They really nailed the price point (~$25) and overall feel with this pre-roll multipack (12 x 0.35g).
Sour Kush (3.5g) is outdoor grown (2021 vintage) and comes in the standard mylar bag. Priced at ($20) for a half quarter, this is an affordable and familiar experience. Coming in at ~20%, the Canadian terrior has a hearty and robust punch, Ontario grown!
I Like Big Buds and I Cannot Lie!
Citizen Stash - FPOG (Fruity Pebbles OG)
Damn, she slaps and is a heavy hitter. The high from this is classic buzzed out and head in the clouds. This strain was always a legacy market favourite for me also (I know I have been saying this a lot lol)
I picked this up at OnePlant Scarborough (shoutout to the team!)
These nugs were definitely frosted and smelling fresh
In LP news, Citizen Stash has now officially been acquired by Valens.
Msiku (M-SEE-GOO) - Apex 3.5g (Sativa)
Partnering with First Nations, Msiku celebrates the heritage of the Mi’kmaq people. Based on the East Coast and boasting an indoor grow, this be some good cannabis. Brimming with terpenes and smelling like bottled Juicy Fruit, Apex was on my must smoke list as a top tier Sativa with a strong lineage (Lilac Diesel x Mandarin Cookies). Smoking this gave me pure energy and inspired the ole’ Puff, Puff, Sass.
Sippin’ on that NOLENE (Terpinolene lol), I admire the feeling and power of the rising wave of energy bestowed by narrow leaf Sativa leaning cannabis.
Reef Organic - Costal Kush (3.5g)
With a penchant for Atlantic cannabis, Reef Organic is brought to us by Aqualitas, a Nova Scotia based LP with an indoor grow that is organic and green certified. Boasting aquaculture practices and living soil, Reef Organic is all about cultivating terpene rich cannabis.
Coastal Kush Terpenes: Myrcene, Limonene, Cis-ocimene
Benny Blunto by The Loud Plug (3 x 0.5g)
I had to cop these and check out the much hyped Benny Blunto pre-rolled “blunts”. They come in a mylar bag that contains the 3 x 0.5g pre-rolled blunt wraps. The wrap appears to be made of hemp, but has a sturdy feel in my hand. The filter is rather large, but the end is nicely folded and there was no loose cannabis. It burned evenly, and had a smooth vanilla like taste and flavour. It was a fun little session and this guy got me RIPPED! SUCCESS.
Stay Tuned as I continue to Smoke my way into the Holiday season! There will be lots of food and festivities in the future.
