So BudCentral had a post saying he needed people to try, take pictures, and write a honest review of his product and so I got in contact with him and had set that up. The package that he sent me was vac sealed with a MBB layer, pretty suitable for mailing weed, no complaints there. Inside contained 6 strains of varying quality. I decided to smoke the strains in order from worst bag appeal to the best bag appeal. Spent 1-2 days smoking each strain so my tolerance may have shot up but I am pretty confident in my opinions on the weed. Not all the strains are available on the markets yet. Gave my honest review on the samples. Hope you guys enjoy the bud porn!
Shiskaberry

- I chose this strain first because of how bad it looked. The nugs had a dark green color and the trim was not too hot. When looking closer at the nug, you can see some trichromes visible which made it a bit more appealing to me. I did not like that the bud was moist, so grinding it was difficult, ended up bending a peg of the grinder. Looking back, I probably should've dried it before smoking. The bud has a slight sweet smell to it when broken up. Despite the unappealing looks, the bud smokes pretty nicely, smooth hits, sweet smelling and really relaxed my body. It's a great strain to watch a movie with or sleep but the bag appeal isn't the best. I'd rate the strain a 6.5/10.
Cotton Candy Kush

- This strain was similar to the Shishkaberry but had a slightly better trim. It surprsingly had a decent number of trichromes. Definitely a hybrid strain, leaning more towards an indica strain but you can definitely feel the head high produced. Despite being on the 'uglier' side, it definitely smokes good, just lacks the bag appeal. Rating this strain as a 7/10.
Trainwreck

- https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/cotton-candy-kushReview
- I've taken a look at BudCentral's listing before and noticed that he had an ounce of Trainwreck listed for a pretty low price of $140, so I was looking forward to smoking this to see how it is. The bag appeal was nice, green nugs, orange hairs, and a bit of trichromes as seen in the pictures. There wasn't really much of a smell to it which hinted at the potency of of the bud. Upon smoking, I found it to be weaker than the strains above. This is by no means bad weed, it was just weaker. When it took me 2-3 hits to get me going with the strains above, it took me around 4 hits to get me going and wasn't really great when I put it into my vape. This might be because of my higher tolerance but I don't think so. The smoke had sativa effects with a slight body high, expected from a popular hybrid. Good bag appeal but keep in mind that it is less potent, 6/10.
Corleone Kush

- This is another strain that he has not listed up on the market but would be worth looking at if it becomes listed. Right off the bat, the nugs have very distinctive red hairs as well as some trichromes upon inspection. The smoke was smooth, no distinct taste or anything, just smelled and smoked like regular weed. The high was nice, took me 2-3 hits to get going, on par with the shiskaberry and cotton candy but has better looks than them. Rating it a 7/10 for above average quality compared to local quality.
Indoor Alien Fire

- Possibly this? https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/white-fire-alien-ogReview
- BudCentral's indoor grown strains are priced higher than his other bud but for good reason. His indoor bud is just beautiful. It has a good trim, tight dense structure, and is frosty beyond the snowiest lands. If you drop the nugs on a table, you'll have crystals all over the table, quoting my friend, it is dusty as hell. Smoking this was great as well, very smooth and very strong. Only took 1 hit to feel the effects unlike the strains above. Very nice body high, got to take a nice nap after smoking this. Amazing quality and the price is great as well. 9.5/10
Indoor Blue Dream

- https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/blue-dreamReview
- This was by far my favorite to smoke, with the Alien Fire coming in a close 2nd place. Just like the Alien Fire, this Blue Dream was absolutely beautiful, light green color, bunch of orange hairs, smelled sweet and not to mention the fact that it is covered in crystals. Knew that this was Blue Dream when I smelled it and smoked it. Produce a very heady uplifting high, typical for sativa dominant strains, was a nice mix with the Alien Fire, nice head high mixed with a strong body high, made my day really fun. Grown really well and the quality displays it, 10/10.
Further comments: In order of worst to best strains, Trainwreck, Shiskaberry, Cotton Candy Kush, Corleone Kush, Alien Fire, and Blue Dream. Generally, his weed is average, better than what you'd find in a non-legalized state for sure. The indoor strains really stand out because of the quality/price ratio. Any suggestions to help improve my reviews would be appreciated :)
