I have been watching elk on silkroad over the past month and I decided to give him a go after my regular vendor took a break.

1 oz Sweet Tooth

There was quite a bit of problems with my order it took 2-3 days more than it should have, but elk gave me a nice amount of his other strain (Cheese).

I have to say that the two are very nice and are really good. lol I'm typing like a vegetable right now haha.

I made two reviews (one for each Sweet Tooth and Cheese) as a thank you to his excellent service.

CHEESE:

Strain Name: elk's Cheese

Type: (Not sure - feels like a Sativa-Indica blend. Would have to ask elk himself.)

Looks: Beautiful shade of green with very little orange hairs. Lots of white, fuzzy trichromes present. After grinding it up, the herb is a very beautiful light green. This is a look that I personally love. 10/10

Smell: I couldn't smell it too well before grinding it up. After grinding however, it has a very nice skunky smell. 7/10

Taste: Tastes very much like your average hydroponic cannabis found around some parts of Australia. It has this spicy feel to it that gives this feeling of your airways being expanded. The smoke is very very thick, so coughing can be an issue with big drags. For stealth smoking (eg. filling up some cigarettes with weed, and smoking those in public) it can be hard to pull it off with lung-deep coughs. elk has an excellent solution to this, which is his other strain (Sweet Tooth) which is very forgiving on the pathways, and an individual would have a very low chance of coughing. 8/10

Effects: I have taken an extremely high dose of the sample I was given, and I can say that it feels very creative. I often get CEVs (Closed eye Visuals) from marijuana and cheese is giving me some nice colourful images. My body only slightly feels funky so I would have to say that this is mainly a mental high with a slight body high to compliment it. 9/10 (The images get a bit annoying though.) Adjusted: 8/10

Potency: It is really potent. Although I have had more potent weed. 9/10

Overall: 9/10 (adjusted)


Apparently the big boy stoners say that we have the best street weed. This takes the ordinary street weed, and just supercharges it with what I think is excellent growing. I've had a much less potent version of this from a friend before.


SWEET TOOTH (This one is from a review I did on his page. I'm not going to change it to keep whatever message I meant to portray originally.)

Wow. Excellent Ganja. Excellent Customer Service. Excellence should be his baseline, he is so much more!

Sweet Tooth has a very nice no-nonsense type of feel to it. It tastes nice and earthy, and the smoke doesn't tickle your throat or anything like that. Compare to the AK-47, I have to say that Sweet Tooth is much easier for the everyday smoker to take without coughing (The AK-47 has this thing where it feels like it is tickling your throat and your only salvation is coughing), however this also depends on smoking technique which will incur coughing.

The Potency is fucking brilliant. I saw some tri-chromes on them even though it was compressed so I have to say that it's definitely potent.

Only thing I've got a small problem with is the Compressing (it's hard to get a real good grinding with how compressed it is). I do understand that it is for shipping purposes but if there was a slightly more expensive shipping option to not have these compressed, I would definitely have gone for them.

Thank you, it is some real good weed. <3

I have to add however, both of elk's strains have this spicy taste to them that feels like it's widening my vessels and stuff. Good stuff, deeper drags.

Thank you elk, I will definately be a repeat customer and I hope you good success as a big boy in Aussie Ganja Production. ;) AGP Motherfucker!

Yes I'm high motherfucker boy i just took two joints of different strains in the same sesh I feel like a superstar baby, legendary superstar!

Strain: (?) Barney's Farm - Blue Cheese (maybe just Cheese)

Appearance: Lovely looking dense buds. Covered in crystals, short lil' bright orange hairs (very cheese like). Really nice light green colour when chopped up. 10/10


Smell: VERY weird smell!! Like Cheese but a fruity undertone, which compliments the skunky Cheesey smell perfectly, this smell is what makes me believe it's actually Blue Cheese. 9/10


Taste: Taste dank, a bit Spicy Cheese / Fruity.  Taste very nice compared to a lot of weed we get. 8.5/10


Effects: Great instant buzz after inhale, the blaze then creeps to a nice warm body stone, very relaxing, while retaining a cerebral head high. Great potency. 8.5/10

Here is a macro photo xD

1/2 oz Sweet Tooth

Arrived fairly quickly, no slacking with the postage perfect as can be really though it was a little compressed but i guess that's just to be expected.

Was a little bit damp and compressed which did make grinding hard but not really a problem, lots of orange hairs and covered in a light layer of trichomes if you look close,  i'm not really an expert on weed and whats good but it looks great.

This is really potent stuff, i have a mflb vape and barely have to use any to get a good high going :D Will def buy from elk again, great service and quality all around.

i ordered some of Elk's Cheese a couple of weeks ago.

- elk is a super guy - a couple of weeks before the eventual order i made, i was in contact with elk. i don't want to go into too much detail lest other people start asking elk for the favour that he offered me, so i'll just say it was a great sign of a guy who was genuinely interested in trying to earn repeat business through good service.

- another example of that is that elk didn't post the next day as (i seem to recall) he'd promised - it didn't get done, so he express posted it the day after. i still had the weed within 72 hours of ordering. rarely can you beat that...

- cheese was a really nice strain. i'm mainly a sativa smoker, but this seemed indica dominant, because it was a different stoned to what i'm used to. initially it made me panic a bit because it felt like my throat was expanding, but aside from that it was a good, reasonably smooth, and relatively potent smoke - i'd give it a solid 4/5 in terms of potency.

will i order from elk again? i absolutely would, because the customer service and the quality are everything you'd expect. with that said - i'm more likely to try other vendors, even those i've not used before (assuming good feedback), if they were offering better prices.

i'm well aware of the price pressures that SR vendors face, as well as the risk factor involved for the vendor (vs the low risk for buyers in most cases), so i will never criticise a SR vendor for their pricing. but i will look for a better price, because as great as the cheese was, paying more than about $190 for a half or $320 for an ounce is completely foreign to me.

just got an order through with elk and here's the story:

- great dude to deal with and flexible.

- next day delivery :) and it was all spot on, everything weighed right and i got exactly what i asked for

- did worry me with a long response time to my initial messages, the order arrived shortly after hearing from him and was correct so he read the messages and sent the package on time. an initial response would have been good for the nerves.

- think i just smoked the cheese (the greener of the 2). it wasn't the best trim and cure on the buds, slightly moist and some leaves, but they do the job well, i'm fairly baked atm :)

- haven't had a chance to try the sweet tooth yet but it smells very potent and is cured well, much better than the cheese so have big expectations for it :)

all up? got exactly what i asked for the day after ordering it and its good gear - so all thumbs up and we shall be back for more :)

I got Elks cheese and i must say i was impressed.  after the first cone i could taste and feel the 'thoroughness'  ;D
(and i was already on stimulants so i knew how strong the bud was to be able to push its way to the front of the pack;-)

properly cured, gourmet. nice smooth body stone. no anxiety. deeply hypnotic but with bright focus when required.

seems like a solid player.

I've just tried the Sweet Tooth strain now. I'm not expert when it comes to weed so I'll keep this short, but the buds looked good when compared to others I've had in the past. Smelled good as well, and ground up nicely.

As for the high, didn't take much at all (again compared to other stuff I've had) and is pretty pleasant. Very relaxing and making me a bit sleepy (in a good way of course) which is probably why I'm typing like a spas :P Nice smooth smoke too, no coughing or harshness on the lungs.

I want to try a few other of the Aussies on the road at some point, but so far I can definitely see coming back to Elk for more :)

Hi all, here is my review for the blue cheese.

Comms/processing: I ordered late tuesday night, order was processed next day and was marked in transit by wednesday lunch time. Elk provided a tracking number or proof of postage I assume but didn't check it out.

Packaging: By squeezing the envelope you could feel the buds. Some stiffer inserts could work well here to conceal the contents. Apart from this it was well packaged and complete with return address. The buds were compressed a little but this is not a problem for me.  Its not to look at is it!

Appearance: Lovely green buds with blueish hues. I like my bud dry (canamo ak was perfectly cured to me)  this is a little moist as it grabs a little in the grinder. However, this is my preference and I have equal number of friends who love the bud like this for joint smoking. The chop was nice and fluffy.  Weight looked very good (scales out of batteries)

Smell: Amazing aroma. classic skunky smell with a fruity undertone. Took me back to my days smoking as a teen in the UK.

Effects: I vaporize with a glass vapor genie nowadays. Taste was up there with the best not quite as good as the the kush and haze varieties I have tried. You can taste that fruitiness! Not as tickly as I was expecting from the reviews above. This is A+ weed. Very potent, has legs!

Don't hesitate to snap this up.  These buds are definitely far ahead of the the street level I can get. Good work elk, thanks.

Awesome vendor guys, got an oz of cheese to me very quickly. Seducing aroma, very nice smooth smoke, first cone creeps up and hits hard. Product came compressed but chops out very fat and fluffy.

Will definitely order from this vendor again without a doubt. Thanks Elk

Elk's Premium Cheese

Stealth/packaging: 5/5 - professional, business-like (wont go into fine detail for security purposes) bud is vacuum-sealed - a must for all weed products (but all vendors don't do this - just buy yourselves a vacuum-sealer on e-bay?)

Description, smell, taste: 10/10 - the most compacted bud I've ever bought on SR - which means more bang for the buck! I prefer it this way - allow the resins not to dry out too much and you can compact the shit out of it - all you need to do if it's too moist to grind - is leave it in a dark place in front of a fan for a few hrs. Amazing fruity, earthy aroma - also think of blue cheese - it  has that matured, skunky aroma - kinda like a bowl of mixed berries with matured cheese on top. It's earthiness reminded me of outdoor varieties.

Best way to smoke (imo): I smoked it with a mate using a great home-made bong. But any medium sized - large bong, preferably with iced water will greatly lessen the throat tickle and cough. Also smoked it in a pipe, but coughed my guts up - in a nice way, if you know what I mean! But most good bud will have you coughing - unless the grower has the patience to cure it for 7-14 days after harvest - or you want to soak it in water for a day and allow it to air-dry for a few more days (all in a dark place). Just use a decent bong with icy water - or a bong with a filter, even better - if  you dont want to cough at all.

Strength: 8/10 - It has a decent kick, but what I love about it is that it's not a total couch-lock - imho feels like 30% sativa - so again, great combo indica/sativa. I felt very uplifted, creative and talkative.

Length of high: 8/10 - Which is the highest score I would give so far, from the local hydro I've tried on SR. I had 2 full normal-sized cones that seemed to last a good hour - although I couldn't resist fiending on the rest of it with a mate over the course of an arvo/night ... so yeh, it's definitely above average bud and so far the best I've tried from SR.

Elk is a dte, helpful, no-fuss vendor, professional in business and sells a really great product!

With the way ELK does business.. there's no more need to get it from the streets.
Smell and taste is incredible.

The high is medical. I suffer from back pain, depression. This just makes it almost all go away!

My only regret is I wish I brought more to stash away!

I suffer from stomach pain and elk's fine product makes the pain all go away. The cheese is a fantastic product

I just ordered some sweet Tooth so i'm looking forward to giving that a go tomorrow

Title: Re: ELK REVIEW THREAD
Post by: aussieeagle on October 02, 2012, 11:38 am
elk does great pot. i sampled the sweet tooth months ago. i had a good amount of the cheese and loved it.

i recently ordered a good amount of the sweet tooth.

i mainly smoke sativas - this indica had a very different effect! This had me mowing the lawn, vacuuming the floor and doing my dishes. the complete opposite effect to what i usually get.

the amount looks very reasonable. elk's postal security is excellent. and having your order within 48 hours rules. elk is one of few vendors i've bought from on SR for whom express actually means express (while others' mail seems to take 3stops around Oz before it gets to my place).

so that's all positive - and it deserves to be, because in terms of quality, i find it hard to think of better pot on the domestic market. (although i also like puffinbilly's super skunk).

the negative? well, elk's prices don't match some of the thoroughly outrageous prices on here (where the only bomb you experience is your hopes exploding when you realise that you paid an absolute premium price expecting premium pot and got shit) - but for me the price definitely makes it an "expresso busy el premium". there are 3 reasons i would buy from elk again - for a special occasion, like if i had a friend visiting; if i had heaps to do on the weekend and couldn't afford to get "couch lock baked", but still wanted to get baked; or if it was Wednesday and I realised that I had nothing for the weekend.

yes, elk's pot is very expensive compared to what others do it for - but that last reason i've provided is a compelling one. the rap of being Australia's SR "go to" guy for quick, good pot is a good one. (i've noted boyd crowder's claims with interest though and look forward to trying him.)

in short - if you haven't tried elk's weed, do yourself a favour. it's the good shit. or if you need quick pot, elk's your guy for that too. 48 hours. bam.

Did my 2nd purchase from elk a while back, some Cheese this time and well same excellent postage as before and really fast delivery you aren't left waiting days. Really good stuff though i prefer the Sweet Tooth they are both great quality, might pick up some more ST before it's gone. If he keeps the good product coming i see no reason why i will need anyone else, perfect both times :)

Got my first order of sweet tooth from elk yesterday.  I managed to get an order through and had elk ship it during the recent problems with the site, so was really happy with the service.  I only recently got my hands on a vapouriser and I don't know if I just wasnt using it properly last time or what, but with elk's gear I'm needing to use way less to get the same high.  I'm not sure if it's because it was less compressed than the last lot I purchased or what, but it's made the vapouriser live up to its reputation as making your weed last longer whilst being a lot healthier to ingest.

Highly recommended!

Ordered 3.5 - Grams MDMA on Wednesday afternoon.

I needed it here before the weekend.

Don't have scales on me but the weight looks spot on if not over.

This looks identical to the stuff i have been getting from NL.

Elk is a fucking legend and will go out of his way to help you out. I will vouch for him everyday.

I am shortly going to be getting some of his cheese he has listed ;)

so

10/5 for ELK, Aussies gets on the elk train.

Title: Re: ELK REVIEW THREAD
Post by: WhiteMilk on December 12, 2012, 06:07 am
G'day,

Bought 3.5gs molly from Elk just over a week ago. After a next business day delivery, smell & taste etc had me in good stead upfront. Couldn't help myself and entered into a solo introspective Friday night - bombed, railed and gummed maybe 100mg more than I needed but had a blast, (massive eye wobbles) and slept like a baby... eventually.

Sunday session at the local beer garden to spread the 'love' with a few of my visiting European friends who have struggled to get their hands on anything decent during their time here. Gummed for a good portion of the afternoon and lapped up the sun and live tunes with wide-eyes until a post-sunset spliff set us on our way home. Felt a million bucks Monday morning. Just how we like it.

Thanks Elk, really appreciate the ease of access to the good times I've been missing for a while.

Highly recommend.

So molly arrived today, within 48 hours of ordering. It looks tasty, it weighs slightly over. It smells beautiful.

can't wait so i had to try some. im 6ft and weight 120kg, have a huge tolerance, usually have 5-6 (local bikkies) at a sitting.

Measure out 130mg ( 0.001 G scales) . swallow 30mg, crush the crystals up and snort the wrest. Hits within 7 mins, not too hard, steady though, no rolling peaks. then the swallowed 30mg hits, takes it up another level, trying to resist guerning, hands shakey, heart racing, loving everything, even the walls of my house. slightly blurred vision, just at the peripherals, tingling skin all over.
 come down is slow, great afterglow. didn't lose concentration on things at hand, straight thinking.
Great stuff.

Oh and hi, i'm new here.

*EDIT*
Morning after, was hungry had an appetite. slight afterglow after pumping some music. Not much scat, slight headache.

Hi all

I've been lurking on SR for awhile and finally decided to take the plunge and make a purchase. I thought I had researched Elk sufficiently and all comments in elk's forums and feedback show nothing but good things. I have logged in to check my order and have found that elks page no longer has any listings? Shld I b concerned that my 1st SR transaction is not going to be successful. It would be great if anyone cld provide some advise to a noob in need of advise?

Cheers!

If you go to the orders section of your account and it's listed here I wouldn't stress. Worst case scenario Elk has gone on holidays and you'll be able to cancel the order in 4 days. Otherwise when it's on it's way the status will show as In Transit, then it's just a matter of waiting. For what it's worth Elk has always been good for me, very prompt and has good gear (weed in my case, although the Molly looks good, I'm just fully stocked with Molly at the moment so haven't had the pleasure.)

Patience is key with the road. Patience and healthy level of paranoia (a Goldilocks level is perfect, not too much but not too little :P)
