Let me start by saying that this review is primarily intended for the CandyLand strain; I already bought and reviewed his regular (non-popcorn) pineapple kush months ago and left a review on here which you can find in my post history and which I'll link below. I used to buy around 2-4 lbs/month from caliconnect until he suddenly left Ag last year. Like other CC customers, I stumbled around searching for vendors with listings that had the same p/q bud in the same price range that CC had but it was few and far between. However, I came across GandoffWhite's page at the beginning of this year on Evo and have been buying lbs off him for the past 5 months or so and he's basically my go-to as he's always come through clutch with quality bulk at a great price and friendly customer service. Anyway, on to the review:
Market - I did a direct deal but GW vends on Agora and he recently opened up shop on Dream Market. For some reason there isn't a link to Dream in the dnm sidebade but dnstats has a link.
Products/pricing - GW is currently offering 'popcorn' Pineapple Kush for $1500/lb (although the nugs are much bigger than expected...more on that later) and CandyLand for $1950/lb - he charges $30 for priority shipping and $40 for express. He also offers QP's and HP's. Anyway I had ordered and reviewed his pineapple kush in the past and it was bomb so I decided to buy a lb of his 'popcorn' PK and I asked him if he could send me a sample of CandyLand as well and he promptly replied telling me it was not a problem at all.
Shipping speed - Received within 3 business days of ordering! Faster than the majority of clearnet orders I buy!
Stealth - This is by far the BEST and MOST CREATIVE STEALTH I've ever seen from any DNM bulk weed vendor I have bought off of and I've been buying bulk bud from DNMs for almost 2 years! Like I said in my past review of GW's bud, I'm not going to go into the specifics of his stealth for obvious reasons but I will reiterate that I haven't ever seen stealth of this level from a bulk weed vendor, GW definitely goes farther than the extra mile when it comes to stealth.
Communication - I've never had a problem with GW regarding comms...if I ever have a question I always get a response within 24 hours, if not less. This is a huge plus for me as a bulk weed buyer since I've dealt with unresponsive bulk vendors in the past and it can be pretty nerve wracking considering what's at stake for a lot of the customers. Again I have not found this to be an issue at all with GW as he's always been attentive to my questions and concerns and responds in a timely manner.
Quality
Popcorn Pineapple Kush
Anyway, I already revewed the pineapple kush in a previous post - you can look up that review on my post history but if you're lazy here's the link (has pics):

The pineapple kush I received this time around is just as good as the pineapple kush I reviewed in that link. Even though Gandoff advertizes this as 'popcorn' bud I was pleasantly surprised to find that the avg nug size I received was more or less medium sized! I've bought bud from vendors in the past who have charged me hundreds more for lb's even though their nugs were basically the same size as the nugs Gandoff sells in his 'popcorn pineappke kush' lbs! Great bud and priced great at $1500/lb! Not sure how much of that he still has in stock though.
CandyLand
First off, the bud looks amazing! I'd guess it's definitely quality Greenhouse. I've bought dozens of lbs of bud on the DNMs over the past 2 years and my budget is usually around $2k/lb or less and rarely have I found bud of this quality in the $2k/lb price range. The nugs I received were pretty dense and smoked great. I consider myself to have a pretty high tolerance and I was really chilled out and pleasantly high after a bowl and the taste had a nice touch of sweetness to it, hence the name lol. Anyway, pics:

In summary, the CandyLand is more than amazing bud and is also a great moneymaker in addition to being a good smoke! Best of both worlds lol. I've actually paid hundreds more in the past for bud that was of much lower quality so I can definitively say this is an amazing deal! I think he has a good amount of it in his inventory but I'm not sure. I could flip bud like this quality all day on the east coast and make mad $$$ given the bag appeal, aesthetics, smoke, price, etc... All in all this is probably the best p/q ratio you'll get on the DNMs for bulk weed in this price range!
Hope you enjoyed the review!
EDIT: I know some of you guys were wanting to see pictures of the entire lb of CandyLand with more nugs in the picture. Like I mentioned in this post I only received a few sample nugs of CL so that's what I had to work with. HOWEVER, I will ask GW tonight to see if he can take an entire pic of the lb for me to share on here so you'll have a better idea of how the overall batch looks like. :)
3 pictures of tiny nugs and no picture of the actual pound. nice. ill just use my imagination.
