Title: USA-USA DOMESTIC **SATIVA STRAINS** CANNABIS THREAD: Recs, Reviews, Requests
Post by: UANDiR1 on May 21, 2013, 10:10 pm
**EDIT / UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2013**
*ratings may be changed to reflect changes in the vendors' performances as time progresses*

MY FAVORITE VENDORS WHO FREQUENTLY SELL HIGH GRADE SATIVA / SATIVA-HEAVY STRAINS WHOM I HAVE PERSONALLY VERIFIED(bookmark / become fans of these vendors, since some go in stealth mode during their peak sales to give their fans top priority):

1)  JackBlue -- In his own league 10/10 8) Perfect quality at the perfect price; the same true hollywood-quality bud you would have to pay 400-500 / oz from other so-called "high class" vendors you get from JB for 280-320 / oz depending on strain, and it will typically be overweight by 20% too. Truly the kindest vendors with the kindest buds. Can't be beat. I have tried his Blue Dream and Blue Cheese, and LOVED it.

T2) EastCoastCollective -- Near perfect 9.5/10 8) When these folks tell you they've got a particularly LOUD harvest that you've must try, then you better listen up and grab their fine, fine herb at its finest, and thank me later.

T2) Buttonwood -- Near perfect 9.5/10 8) This is a new vendor whose Platinum Jack Herrer is a MUST TRY! You'll never forget the taste of it, and the high is a POWERFUL sativa surge of electricity!

T2)  SativaSally -- Near perfect 9.5/10 8) SativaSally will treat you real well, you can count on that. You can find my detailed review of her in this thread as well. SUPER OVERWEIGHT, by up to a remarkable 30%. And I hear this is common, so again, she will take REAL good care of you, as long as your intentions are good I guess, and you are the type of person who tries their best to help great vendors like her get as much support and biz as possible, as I do, for instance with my detailed reviews and many repeated recommendations. And perhaps more importantly, her bud is precisely as described, so trust her listings. Lastly, like her name suggests, this vendor specializes in sativa and sativa-heavy strains that are medicinal grade indoor and trimmed with care.

3)  BlueSKiesRedEyes -- Excellent 9/10 8) Amazing bud, near the best, and 10-15% overweight. Specialty: Blue Dream

4)  MidwestMedical -- Very Good 8.5/10 8) Consistently high grade, no hyping with these guys, and SUPER OVERWEIGHT, by 25+%, so if you order a half oz, don't be surprised to receive 17.5+g of pure buds. Specialty: Skunk No. 1

5)  XXXotica -- Good 7.5/10 :) Weighed right on target, no more and no less. True indoor high grade.

T6)  Salsify -- Good 7/10 :) Note: Outdoor-only listings, unless otherwise stated. But when there are no decent indoor listings around and you see Salsify's outdoor Blue Dream on sale for fairly cheap, sometimes as low as 115-120 / oz, word from the wise, don't miss the opportunity to try the best outdoor bud of your life for cheap. It's not quite medicinal grade, but I inspected his blue dream very closely, and found no mite webs, hairs, or anything that would be able to fool the common cannabis user into believing it was outdoor, with the exception that the inside of the buds are about 3x as frosty as the outside, which gives away that they are indeed outdoor buds. But still worth it. Specialty: Outdoor Blue Dream

T6) GreenOvenDoor -- Good 7/10 :) Weighed slightly, 5-10%, above target, and the quality met expectations.

T6) Freeside -- Good 7/10 :) Weighed 10-15% above target. Specialty: Super Lemon Haze

7) SuprBudz -- Fair 6/10 New, still plenty room for improvement, but legit nonetheless.


END OF EDIT / UPDATE. THANK YOU

**START OF ORIGINAL POST**



Hello friends,

Is it just me, or does it SEEM like 99% of all the highly rated vendors are either only carrying indica/indica-heavy (body high) strains, or are almost always sold out of their sativa/sativa-heavy (cerebral/psychedelic high) strains?

Well, after having been on about 20+ highly rated AAA indoor cannabis vendor pages, I have concluded that AAA indoor SATIVA's are so difficult to find on the Road that they might as well have a separate drug section of their own, or at the very least a further CLASSIFICATION of sativa vs. indica under the Cannabis>Weed subcategory.

Good idea, right? I know. BUT, since SR admins are likely not going to be listening to my advice anytime soon, I figured why not create this thread as a place to do the 3 R's: REVIEW, RECOMMEND, AND REQUEST HIGH-GRADE INDOOR SATIVAS/SATIVA-HEAVY STRAINS ON THE ROAD **THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN STOCK** FROM TRUSTED VENDORS.

I'm not sure if this thread will get much of a warm reception. but if you are a USA SATIVA lover, this thread may end up being helpful.

My favorite vendors are Jackblue (Blue dream) and Midwestmedical (Skunk), but they are both out of stock currently.

So if anybody, vendor or other buyers, have any recommendations on some good Sativa listings currently up, or even if you are currently just diligently searching for some as I am, let us know. Let's make searching for the type of Weed on the road that many of us prefer a bit easier: SATIVA all the way baby!

Infinite Love,

SATIVA, SATIVA, where the F are ya?

Still looking for 7-14g of AAA indoor sativa on the road. Anybody see any? All I see is a lot of indicas, indica-heavy hybrids, and sold out sativas.

Looking to place order ASAP.

I was thinking perhaps LionwareTradingCo could have been the one to go with this time, but I missed the minimum membership time by a month, and they never replied to my request from early today many hours ago, so still looking...

Thanks man, definitely let us know about that chemdawg, if I had the choice, I would have gone with her Blue Dream, but both listings have been down anyways, so I can't order either. As for PR's sour D, it's not listed at the moment either, or I would've been on top of it in a heart beat, haha.

Finding sativa from any of those vendors from the medicinal contest + the hall of famers is nearly impossible at the moment. Feels like even the best vendors are just trying to get rid of the indica that they had left over after selling all their best sativa-heavy meds in " the real world"...

UPDATE:

I just received a response from XXXotica after I sent her a message yesterday regarding a request for a sativa listing, and I received the following response:

[begin quote] "The only sativa we have available is Purple Berry at the moment.

Thanks for your inquiry,
XXX" [end quote]


XXXotica is a hall of fame vendor according to the contest (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=151811.0), therefore, if she says her purple berry is a sativa, I suppose that should be trusted. All I could find online is that "Purple Berry BX" is indica-heavy, and "Purple Berry Diesel" is sativa-heavy. If Purple Berry is a cross between Purple Haze (sativa) and Blueberry (indica), it is possible that the hybrid is indica heavy. If anyone has more info on this strain, would be welcomed.

Anyhow, I just placed the order with XXXotica for the Purple Berry. I will let you all know how it goes, although if you are desperately looking for medicinal grade sativa-heavy like I was, I suggest you place the order for the Purple Berry before waiting for my review, since these days sativas get sold out in a matter of hours.

BTW, I place an order for 7-14g every 7-10 days. I am a personal user, not a reseller, obviously.

Freeside's Super Lemon Haze was the first purchase I ever made here on the road, and it remains the strongest/most enjoyable sativa I have gotten on on here.  The stealth was top notch, as was shipping.  Get it while there's still some in stock.

Nice, +1.

I just wish freeside offered priority shipping, because with first class, that means if you ordered with him today, and the order goes out tomorrow, the most likely time of arrival is Monday/Tuesday, whereas with priority, you get by Saturday standard, so you can have a fun weekend, :)

Anyways, thanks for the heads up, will definitely check him out in the future, although I do prefer indoor soil vs his style of indoor hydro, especially for sativas. But he is advertising his Super Lemon Haze as up to 23% THC, whereas the strongest strain I have gotten so far off SR was JackBlue's blue dream, which was lab tested to be 18% THC. Therefore, I am a bit curious as to whether freeside excessively hyped that listing, since it is hard to believe you can get bud about 33% stronger than JB's for the same price on the Road.

I got some Lemon Trainwreck from BajoZero in just the other day..  And I can tell you it is definitely sativa dominate.

That sounds like one of the hottest strains ever man. Unfortunately, bajozero doesn't have that or any other listings up at the moment. But considering I've loved both Trainwreck and Lemon Diesel, I can definitely see Lemon Trainwreck becoming my all-time favorite strain. Will keep an eye out for it, thanks for the heads up on BajoZero.

So far we have now been recommended two vendors as trustable indoor medicinal vendors who weren't on the indoor contest thread: FREESIDE + BAJOZERO, which makes this thread a success so far. If we start getting more recs, I'll update my OP and put up a list to make it easier to stay organized.

My order from XXXotica was also marked in transit today a couple of hours ago, so I'll also let you know how the Purple Berry (was recommended by vendor as a Sativa) turns out.

You should have that purple berry by now, right?

Once my BTC gets untied from the Burmese hash purchase from Good Drugs that isn't going down, I am gonna use that to get either an eighth of the Purple Berry from XXXotica, or an eighth of Durban Poison from HappySmoke420.

Just curious to see how things went with XXXotica.

Sorry for the late update guys, haven't been on SR for a while after I finalized my order.

Yes, I received the Purple Berry 2.5 days after putting that order in. I ordered 7g, and got 7.3g. It was strong, and definitely mostly sativa, I'd say 80-20 sativa-indica. BUT, the trim job was poor, making this bud look uglier than it could have, and  this was also the first batch of bud I've gotten off of SR with seeds in it, 11 black ones and two white ones for a total of 13 seeds, which was quite a surprise; collectively, they weight about .2g, so there goes that tiny hook up, haha.

Anyhow, I still think XXXotica is a good vendor, but I've had better experiences with others, especially my two favorite cannabis vendors, JackBlue and Midwestmedical.

Now I'm on the hunt for my next order, looking to order ASAP.

Anyhow guys, even though I LOVE me some medicinal sativa, the beloved GreenOvenDoor just had a blowout sale on some Cadillac Purple, and I JUST GOT THE LAST OUNCE FOR $160 (1.25BTC) including shipping. Going indica this time is well worth the deal. Maybe some of you bros got in on this too.

Anyways, at the moment, the BEST sativa deal I can find is the Green Crack being sold by Midwestmedical at the moment, for $160 a 1/2 ounce including shipping. Midwestmedical is the best kind of vendor by the way, the kind that will sell you perfectly cured true AAA seedless medicinal bud while going 20-25% overweight, LITERALLY. For instance, when I ordered 7g of Skunk No 1 last time I ordered from him, I got 8.5g of pure bud, almost no leafy material and certainly no seeds, all of which should be a given for AAA bud, but apparently it is not always the case here at SR with some of the other vendors, even the better reviewed ones, haha.

So even though I grabbed GreenOvenDoor's last megadeal O, I endorse Midwestmedical's Green Crack as this week's sativa buy for all you cannabis connoisseurs out there.

I've picked up some nice sativas from TheEmeraldTriangle. He is often in stealth so if you aren't already a fan he can be tough to find. He rugularly has stock of Sour Diesel, Green Crack, Blue Dream, and a host of Indicas.

I probably would have bought some of the GC from MWM if he would have put the listing up a day ahead of time (I always check dude's page before I order an OZ).  I went with "Cheese" from NW Nugs for this ounce.  More to see what kinda bud they get, because I haven't tried em before.

I was lucky enough to cop some of the GC x NYCD cross that MWM had a little while back, here is a link to the review:

Would this "sativa" be more effective in helping to bring about visuals during an LSD trip?  I don't have any experience with cannabis but heard it can help make things more visual so I'm interested.  There are so many different types and forms I don't even know where to start.

Anytime I have taken more then a couple hits of weed while on LSD, I end up panicking out and shit.  I can get a bit jumpy anyway though.

I seem to get anxious and drugs seem to make it worse so maybe cannabis isn't for me.  Do you have issues with weed without LSD?

Hi Friends,

It has been a while since I checked in on the forums, even though I have since my last purchase from GreenDoorOven (which was an awesome deal by the way, the buds ended up being well worth the price, was indoor grade A- oz for half price of typical grade A/AA), I have tried another vendor, BlueSkiesRedEyes, and many of you already know, this vendor is LEGIT!!! I ordered their Blue Dream a couple weeks ago, and it was BOMB, second only to JackBlue's Blue Dream, which is the best on SR, but rarely available.

Anyhow, today I just paced an order for a half of Super Lemon Haze from the vendor Freeside upon the recommendation of several folks. I will let you all know how that turns out, but I have a feeling it will be FIRE.

Also, as for the question by one of you on whether sativas increase or enhance the visuals of LSD, the answer is an emphatic YES!, but like another member pointed out, unless you are an experienced user of psychedalics, for instance have experienced several "ego deaths" and are no stranger to that feeling of super extreme anxiety that almost makes you wanna wish you were sober (a feeling that many inexperienced folks dislike but that the highly seasoned psychadelic users actually begin to thoroughly enjoy), so again, unless you like that feeling and are able to transmute that anxiety feeling into energy of the mind as highly advanced users are able to do so, I recommend that you stay away from the sativas and stick to indicas while on LSD and shrooms. And with DMT, you never need to take anything else, since DMT is the holy grail, and is perfect alone.

Infinite Love,
UANDiR1


P.S. Currently as of July 1, the best Sativa-heavy options that I was able to spot are:
1) Super Lemon Haze - Freeside
2) Green Crack - MidwestMedical
3) Blue Dream - XXXotica

So again, I chose option 1, and will let you know how it works out.

My favorite CANNABIS vendors so far are:
1) JackBlue
2) BlueSKiesRedEyes
3) MidwestMedical
4) XXXotica
5) Salsify

BlueSkiesRedEyes is GREAT!  Awesome grower and vendor.  I believe they are going to obtain some high quality strains to sell in between their grows.

I am reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally looking forward to getting some of Jack Blue's gear when it's ready in August.

Again, I can't mention SativaSally enough.  Got some pics of her Jet Fuel to drool over, though.  She'll be back on 7/7, so be on the lookout.

Also can't forget to mention ChristyNug's Blue Dream.  Her requirements for being a new customer can be a bit lofty to the newcomer, but everyone raves about her BD.  I've yet to try it personally, but it's pretty much tits from what I have read.

I don't have C99 but I have a new sativa try-out I grew from seed in the upcoming crop.  It's Vortex X Jack's Cleaner BX.  It was developed by TGA Genetics (also the breeder of my Jack The Ripper that is also coming in late July/early August.   TGA calls it KabOOm (??), but I'm going to stick with the more descriptive "Vortex X Jack's Cleaner".  It's got Brothers Grimm's Apollo 11 in it's complicated genetic history which has C99 as a parent.  Same speedy high, reportedly.

My instincts are that it could be a real winner,  and what I have looks really nice.  But it did not perform up to its potential because I decided to take cuttings of the plants I grew from seed to make new mothers, and put the two plants from seed into one of the flowering rooms.  The problem is they were growing in coco which is never how I flower my females (aeroponics) so I really didn't know what I was doing, and the only space for them was in an aisle between sections of the aero systems.  In the aisle they got a bit less light than they normally would, and I tripped over them daily.  So the fact that they look as good as they do seems encouraging.  I'll probably send it out in samples as a bonus with other orders so people can tell me what they think. 

BTW, I found this thread by doing the SR equivalent of Googling myself (kind of lame, huh?).  Did a search for JackBlue to see what people were saying about me.  Thanks everyone for their nice comments.  I try my best to grow the best bud I can, and it makes my day when I read stuff like this.  Just so you know, I sell all my bud on SR these days, so what you get is my top grade bud.  I see people complaining in some threads that SR vendors sell medical reject bud.  Speaking for myself, I wouldn't think of doing that.  Given the choice of wholesaling to the greedy bay area mega collectives or selling to my friends on SR, there's no competition.

Later this month or early August I'll have listings of these strains:
Blue Dream (sativa dom), Jack the Ripper (sativa dom), Maui Wowie (Hawaiian sativa), Blue Cheese (Indica dom), and Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mint) (Sativa/Indica hybrid - this pheno tends more towards sativa).

Listings will be stealth only, so become a fan soon before I drop into stealth mode or bookmark my vendor page to get access to the listings.    I've added some buyer pre-qualifications -- check out my vendor page for details.    If you've been a JacKBlue customer before, you're pre-qualified, so don't worry about it.

Peace,
JackBlue

Vortex from SativaSally is some seriously amazing sativa.  Hope I get a chance to try JackBlue's Vortex cross.

If you love a skyrocketing sativa head high you'd probably like OGBryan's True OG kush.  It's also got a strong body high as well.

I don't know much of anything about marijuana so I looked up "True OG kush" online and it appears to be indica dom rather than sativa dom.

I got some of my favourite strain coming in from Mario's Gramme Shop, Sour Diesel!!

Not sure if they are loaded with it or not, so I can't say if it's a constant thing that they stock, but I will report back here with the finding in case anyone is interested?

Also looking forward to copping a few sacks of JackBlue's Maui and Jack the Ripper later this summer.

I don't know much of anything about marijuana so I looked up "True OG kush" online and it appears to be indica dom rather than sativa dom.


Heres what I found

Quote
OG Kush
   
   
OG Kush is a super-potent variety of medical-grade Cannabis with very distinct aroma, appearance and long-lasting psychoactive and physiological effects.

OG Kush is a mostly Cannabis Sativa hybrid, clone-only cultivar found widely in Greater Los Angeles (Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties), California, USA. The species is rumored to be another name for the legendary Chemdog (a.k.a. "Chemdawg" or "Chem") cultivar of Colorado/Wyoming, USA. In this widespread rumor, a 'cutting' (clone) of the "'91 Chemdog" made its way to Lake Tahoe, California early in the 1990's and that OG Kush is an 'S1' (1st generation offspring of a self-pollinated hermaphrodite) of this crop but it is only privately available in clone form and not in seed. Although not a "Kush," OG Kush does possess some Indica (Cannabis Sativa, Supspecies Indica) traits and it is rumored that it may have some Kush bred in its genetic heritage. However, it is mostly a Sativa in both phenotype and psychoactive effects when consumed. Some have described its effects as both cerebrally and physically stimulating and it's smell as "lemony pine-sol." The mature flowers usually appear as large and dense, lime-green clusters covered with copious amounts of "white" resin. It has sold on average for $75.00 USD for 1/8 ounce in most areas of Greater Los Angeles in 2007/2008.

Quote
OG Kush
   
   
A Cannabis Sativa dominant cultivar found in California, especially "The Valley" (San Fernando Valley).

This breed of marijuana has suffered long debates as of its origins and genetic heritage but anyone who has ever worked with this plant knows that the prized phenotypes are the Sativa phenos which are tall and lanky. These are where the real "fuel" and "chem" smelling flowers come from. Any grower or experienced enthusiast knows this to be true, despite any debates about heritage or origin about the plant. The plant is a mixed breed but is mostly a Sativa.

There are several cuts flowing around the area, such as 'SFV,' 'Ghost,' 'Tahoe,' 'Larry,' 'HA' (Hell's Angels), 'Fire,' 'Abusive,' and '818' but it is extremely rare to find an original OG Kush that hasn't been reworked. Many growers identify the 'Tahoe' and 'Ghost' as being two of some of the most close to the original OG Kush that made it's way to California early in the 1990's.

Anyone who says this plant is a kush definitely has not seen it growing and does not know much about weed because it has high THC and lower Cannabidiol than true Indicas, of which the Kush family come from.

A side note:
Anyone that knows anything about Kush plants know that these short, robust dark green and even purple colored plants originate from the mountain range stretching between central Afghanistan and northern Pakistan where taller, lighter Sativa dominant plants do not grow well.

Yea I couldn't find it on leafly last time I looked either.  But it's easy to tell a sativa from an indica so if a grower says it's sativa I believe him.  OGB and Salsify and HappySmoke420 have had informative information about OG in their listings all describing it as sativa.

Now that it's listed again I also gotta give recognition to the Sour Diesel from PrivateReserve, very high quality sativa and great head high.

jack blues - blue dream was a super smooth sativa dom haze -i've been waiting for more of this for a while -nxt month.  tweetb usually have a nice sativa dominate amongst his listing -absolutely memorized by the sweet island skunk.   xxx had some of my fav weed on the road, i don't remember the purple berry being strongly sativa -but it was certainly excellent and not couch locky.

Ahhhhh, what an honor to have my FAVORITE vendor JackBlue post on my/our thread. JB already knows that EVERYBODY here who knows their stuff is incessantly checking JB's vendor page on SR pretty much every couple of days, praying for that one day when his listings will return. I still remember doing side-by-side comparisons of their batch few months ago with 3 batches other indoor high grade vendors, and while all four batches were high grade top shelf, I felt JackBlue's batch deserved to be in category of its own called "The Hidden Shelf" because it was so appreciably stronger, not just because the sativa effects were as strong as can be, but also because the indica effects pack a lot stronger punch than you'd expect considering how strong the sativa side is that you become surprised in the most positive, delightful way possible. Even the kief production was double that of any other strain I've tried, and not because the bud was dry, the cure was perfect, as was the flush, but rather due to its high trichome index, all of which are so healthy and mature. WE LOVE YOU JB! From my private conversations with them from a few months ago, I also know they are super friendly and constantly trying to improve security.

Super excited for JB's return next month. Until then, I'm now off to find my next batch that'll keep me fixed until JB's return, haha.

So I got the SD fro Mario's Gram Shoppe..  And it's not bad weed at all.

Is a darker green than I had expected, and it has this grapefruit/burnt rubber smell to it.  But it acts just as Sour D should.  I smoked about 3/4th's of a gram this morning with my cup of coffee, and the buzz is just tapering off after almost 2 hours.

I'd probably buy it again, but after having Bajo Zero's Sour D, there hasn't been anything tat has beaten it yet.

**EDIT** DEPOSITS / WITHDRAWALS NOW WORKING


Well, it has been a mission getting my order in today, as I found exactly what strain I am going to choose this week, and then I first had troubles with my wallet, and now SR has put a hold the past few hours (58 confirmations for me, since around 9-10am, and coins still not released), as per http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=185881.0 . So heads up if anybody was about to put in a deposit or withdrawal request, all traffic is on pause at the moment.

As soon as I'm able to place my order, I'll let you all know which strain I chose. There were really only about four to five decent sativa-heavy hybrids or pure sativas that I found that are available at the moment by highly trusted vendors and are being advertised as high-grade indoor sativa/sativa-heavy hybrid. Of them, I have my heart set on one, and hopefully that will carry me through until JackBlue is back.

By the way, some of you wanted to know how my last order with Freeside went, I totally forgot to mention that in my last post. I order his specialty super lemon haze upon the recommendation of a couple of you who posted here--so be assured, your opinions / recommendations definitely count  :P-- and while indeed some of the buds in the 1/2 oz sack I ordered were fairly nice, the sack as a whole was below the average of what I have been receiving from SR. But definitely not bad, just looked like maybe the particular harvest I got was perhaps a little weaker than what some of you may have received since you guys were raving about Freesides's SLH, so I might give him another shot in the future if the circumstance are ripe for it. My updated list of my favorite cannabis vendors ranked in order from best to slightly less good:

b]MY FAVORITE VENDORS WHO FREQUENTLY SELL HIGH GRADE SATIVA / SATIVA-HEAVY STRAINS WHOM I HAVE PERSONALLY VERIFIED[/b](bookmark / become fans of these vendors, since some go in stealth mode during their peak sales to give their fans top priority):

1)  JackBlue -- In his own league 10/10 8) Perfect quality at the perfect price; the same true hollywood-quality bud you would have to pay 400-500 / oz from other so-called "high class" vendors you get from JB for 280-320 / oz depending on strain, and it will typically be overweight by 20% too. Truly the kindest vendors with the kindest buds. Can't be beat. Specialty: Blue Dream and Jack Herrer

2)  SativaSally[/b ]-- Near perfect 9.5/10  8) SativaSally will treat you real well, you can count on that. You can find my detailed review of her in this thread as well. SUPER OVERWEIGHT, by up to a remarkable 30%. And I hear this is common, so again, she will take REAL good care of you, as long as your intentions are good I guess, and you are the type of person who tries their best to help great vendors like her get as much support and biz as possible, as I do, for instance with my detailed reviews and many repeated recommendations. And perhaps more importantly, her bud is precisely as described, so trust her listings. Lastly, like her name suggests, this vendor specializes in sativa and sativa-heavy strains that are medicinal grade indoor and trimmed with care.

3)  BlueSKiesRedEyes -- Excellent 9/10 8) Amazing bud, near the best, and 10-15% overweight. Specialty: Blue Dream

4)  MidwestMedical -- Very Good 8.5/10 8) Consistently high grade, no hyping with these guys, and SUPER OVERWEIGHT, by 25+%, so if you order a half oz, don't be surprised to receive 17.5+g of pure buds. Specialty: Skunk No. 1

5)  XXXotica -- Good 7.5/10 :) Weighed right on target, no more and no less. True indoor high grade.

T6)  Salsify -- Good 7/10 :) Note: Outdoor-only listings, unless otherwise stated. But when there are no decent indoor listings around and you see Salsify's outdoor Blue Dream on sale for fairly cheap, sometimes as low as 115-120 / oz, word from the wise, don't miss the opportunity to try the best outdoor bud of your life for cheap. It's not quite medicinal grade, but I inspected his blue dream very closely, and found no mite webs, hairs, or anything that would be able to fool the common cannabis user into believing it was outdoor, with the exception that the inside of the buds are about 3x as frosty as the outside, which gives away that they are indeed outdoor buds. But still worth it. Specialty: Outdoor Blue Dream

T6) GreenOvenDoor -- Good 7/10 :) Weighed slightly, 5-10%, above target, and the quality met expectations.

T6) Freeside -- Good 7/10 :) Weighed 10-15% above target. Specialty: Super Lemon Haze

7) SuprBudz -- Fair 6/10 New, still plenty room for improvement, but legit nonetheless.


I will copy and paste this list to my first post on the front page, for the benefit of the newbies (I sure remember when I was a newbie I highly valued lists like this, still do, as they have kept me from being scammed or getting crap bags), and I will keep updating as I go along, month after month.



AGAIN, BE WARNED: All deposits and withdrawals to and from SR are ON HOLD as per http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=185881.0 ; don't get stuck like me, as it is not fun waiting while your coins are out of your reach somewhere in the matrices

Alright folks,

My final update for the day. FINALLY after going through all the drama of the day, I was able to place my order. With whom you ask?...

Ahem, drum roll please...

SATIVASALLY !!!


So upon the recommendation of a couple of you (you know who you are, so thank you for your passionate recommendations if this order goes well, and shame on you for your lack of cannabis standards if this order goes poorly, but I'm sure this will be one of my best orders yet!), I decided to go with SativaSally's current listing of Mendo Ghost 1/2 oz, which she advertises as the following:

""""Mendo Ghost is a Indy/Sativa hybrid. This wonderful cross has mostly Sativa effects that give you a uplifting/motivating high. High THC count with very dense nugs and a slap you in the face pungent smell.

As some of you know, we also offer our trim/shake as a listing. Sometimes we're asked how much is trim, and how much is shake. When a plant is harvested, we remove all fan leafs and any other leaf stem that we can reach, and then discard it. Any buds that are not up to standard are then removed and placed into a flat box. As the remaining buds are being trimmed, all the trimmings also go into the same box. The bud in the box is cured in the same manner as the rest of the bud, and then listed when ready.


All of our strains are grown indoor with organic soil and fed Advanced Nutrients. NO PESTICIDES are used, EVER! Each plant receives a 10 day flush prior to harvest, to ensure a clean, smooth smoke. Product is then dried and cured in glass jars until your order is placed.""""" -- SativaSally



So that sounds awesome to me, and I believe there are only 2 oz's of this strain remaining (4x 1/2 oz quantites), and her only other stain is an indica, so if you are with me, get on board the SativaSally train and grab some Mendo Ghost with me. I will let you all know how it goes.

Great thread idea!

JackBlue is the man and I hear jack the ripper is coming back! Skunk #1 from midwest meds is fantastic.

I got some sour D from private res. and  chemdawg from christy coming  Hoping the chem is sativa heavy.

I'll let you know.

sub'd

Jack the Ripper is an amazing strain when grown right.  I had the pleasure of picking up a zip of this one time and it was instantly one of my favorite strains. 

Lamb's Breath is also an amazing strain but not as mainstream and popular as some of the others like blue dream, sour diesel, green crack, etc.  I had the pleasure of picking up a zip of that one time and it was out of this world.  It is documented that Bob Marley frequently smoked this strain and was one of his favorites and after experiencing it I understand why.  It's one of those strains that really takes music to a whole different level.  Music on that strain is amazing!

Would like to see some vendors carrying Lamb's Breath!

SATIVASALLY 's MENDO GHOST HAS ARRIVED!

So first of all, this is the feedback I left for her at SR:
 
" ***START OF MY FEEDBACK***
Mendo Ghost 1/2 oz
ORDERED: July 16, 2013, 11:29 pm UTC
SHIPPED: July 17, 2013, 2:48 pm UTC
RECEIVED: July 20, 2013, about 4 hours ago
PACKAGING/STEALTH: 10/10, right up there with the best, includes fake business, smell-proof obviously, many many layers (certainly more than the average vendor). Fast too, standard priority.
WEIGHT: 12/10 I ordered a half O, and received 18.21g, which I weighed on a frequently-calibrated scale. This is one super generous vendor, which indicates to me this vendor cares more about the customers and compassionate care than about the profit margins.
QUALITY: 9/10 The largest bud I weighed was 3.22g, and the smallest was 0.25g, with the average probably being around 0.8g. The smell is just an absolute DELIGHT! This is one of those RARE DANKS that smells like the sweetest of indicas, like the sweet sweet Romulan, with an underlying touch of Skunk smell. And the color is a dark green. So you're probably thinking this is one indica-heavy baby. WRONG! Just as I wanted, and just as SativaSally described it in the listing, it is powerfully sativa-heavy. Of course it has an indica body high component as well, but the ratio would be 75% Sativa high and 25% Indica high, very similar to all the different Blue Dreams I have had. So in my book, this is one rare strain (not much info about it online either) that smells and looks like a dank indica but is in fact sativa-heavy, which a sativa-lover like myself appreciates. I have only vaporized one 0.30g bowl of it 3.5 hours ago in a high-end desktop vaporizer, and I have to say, the taste is just as deliciously sweet as the smell, and again, the high is certainly more fitting for the lovers of the spaced out sativa high, while it does provide a relaxing effect too, but no couchlock. Oh and the cure is perfect, right to my taste, feels like sticky candy in the hands, not at all moist, and due to the perfect cure I am able to grind it up real finely, the way I like it for my vaporizer. And the trimming is quite well done with only a few super sugary leaves here and there, but mostly pure bud. Almost 4 hours after vaping, still feeling lingering effects, but I of course am about to re-vape right now.
OVERALL: AMAZING vendor, I am going to have to recommend SativaSally to all my friends over at the forums, just as I was recommended to her by a couple of folks. Thanks again!
***END OF FEEDBACK*** "

I just left that feedback just minutes ago, I think it includes a pretty comprehensive review of the vendor.

As for the bud itself, Mendo Ghost as far I can tell is a pretty rare strain, with very little info about it online as well, so I was quite excited to try it. The strain truly does smell, appear, and taste as though it is a super dank, near fire level indica, but has a multidimensional high that is definitely sativa-heavy, as the spacing out and the "conscious-dreaming" effect is quite apparent, but there is less anxiety generated by this strain than is generated by other pure sativa strains such as Green Crack, Sour Disel, etc, probably due to the indica genetics, but rest assured, no overwhelming laziness or couchlock is apparent, even after the high peaks.

By the way, when I vaporized the extra-fat bowl ( I typically vape 0.15-0.20g per 3 hours, so the 0.30g I vaped was particularly for this review), I did it after not vaporizing/consuming cannabis for about 12-14 hours (since yesterday), which I planned so that my review wouldn't be affected by lingering effects from a previous session, just an FYI. And I vape until the bud is super dark brown, so there IS a little bit of combustion that occurs at the end, but I do that intentionally to make certain all the cannabinoids, not just the THC, have been annihilated,  ;D


SO PICK UP THAT MENDO GHOST WHILE IT IS STILL UP PEOPLE, AND TELL ME HOW IT GOES!

I will update my list of cannabis vendors on the intro post to include SativaSally too.

I got the NYCD from MWM earlier this week..  I am horrible at updating things when it comes to weed.

It pretty much looks like it does in the pics he had up, maybe a bit lighter green and with clusters of dark burnt orange hairs.  Smells fucking awesome.  He explained to me earlier that it was a low yield-er so it doesn't come around much, which is a shame...  Because it's nice weed.  I must mention, that everytime I get herb from this guy, it gets better and better.  I think the only strain I haven't tried of his, was the blueberry x haze.. 

The buds aren't as tight as his Green Crack, but plenty of frost and bag appeal.  Too bad I won't sell even a gram of this to anyone local.  Fuck em, keep smoking that M39, sukkas!!

My girl and I can share a 3/4 gram blunt and be satisfied with this batch, where as usually I have to smoke that much of some other vendors weed in one sitting alone to get high.

I've used so many drugs but not weed lol.  I'd really like to try a strong sativa but get so confused with all of the various weed available on SR.

I'm hoping I can find a vendor to send me an inexpensive sample (1g enough for a sample?) in exchange for my loyalty if I like the product.

Thanks  :)  Let us know how it went.


It's been a while since I last checked in. I hope everything is all well with everyone.

SativaSally is on vacation until the 12th, I believe. I'm about to place an order for KING JB as soon as my coins transfer from my wallet to SR, as long as somebody else doesn't beat me to it. So glad he's back. JB and SativaSally will be my GO-TO vendors, as long as listings from either of them is up, I'm happy! Looks like there are going to be so many delicious strains coming up these next few weeks that I'm going to try ordering a quarter o a week rather than the usual 1/2oz every 2 weeks groove in which I've been, just so I can experience a greater variety of flavors while also making it easier for others to try.  8)

Does jackblue have listings up right now? I cant find him on SR. I agree though SR needs more sativas. Im going to college and im going to buy a zip so a sativa strain would be perfect but all the better buds seem to be indica. I think im going to just go with ogbryan cuz he has some of the best quality on SR and pray i can fight the indica burn out while i try to get my shit done at school haha Let me know if anyone has a zip of some amazing sativa strains that are as good as ogbryans nugs. thank!

I'll have stealth listings up over the next few weeks.  To access my stealth listings you need to be a fan or have the link to my vendor page.  The listings only appear on my vendor page.  I do stealth listing to keep my sanity since demand is pretty insane.  I've sold out of Jack the Ripper and Blue Cheese.  I have some concentrates listed now, and starting this week I'll be selling Blue Dream and Maui Wowie (relatively limited quantities) and Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mint cut).  Girl Scout Cookies is a sativa indica hybrid.  The Thin Mint cut is the phenotype that has more of the sativa traits (uplifting high), but packs the serious power of an indica.  GSC is no slouch in the potency department.

BTC finally settled, and order for JackBlue's blue cheese finally placed. I'm looking forward to trying the other strains next week too. JB must be one busy guy, I mean 400+ customers? That's insane, but thank goodness you put in place the new system to preserve stock and assure no one player gets all the treats. So happy you've switched over to SR from the collectives, as the collectives already have plenty of dank, but SR only has JB and a couple others.

How's everybody doing? I hope well. Before I begin, I want to say, I'm pretty high, and a little bored, so I'm just going to let the following review be more of a "stream of consciousness" rather than something properly edited or even "properly coherent," but only adequately so, since it's the end of the day and I'm tired. With that said:

 8) ORDER: JACK BLUE'S BLUE CHEESE 8)



SHIPPING/PACKAGING/STEALTH: So my order from the one and only JackBlue arrived priority a couple days after placing the order, very fast as always, can't get any faster. Bud was obviously overweight, as JackBlue has a reputation of doing, by a substantial margin, and with a sample, individually sealed included for a potential future grow. Stealth and security is 5 stars, standard just like all the top vendors on my list (on the first page of thread, first post). The one thing I like better about JackBlue's PACKAGING though, versus some of the other top vendors, is that JB uses a unique brand of bag/container for the buds, which is also perfectly sized, so that the buds somehow barely touch the containers and are tightly enough fitted in without the crystals being compressed, either between the buds themselves or between the buds and the inner surface of the bag/container. I know I just stated this rather confusingly, but I know it makes sense, so some of you might get what I'm saying. Some of the other vendors, for instance, first place their bud in a sandwich bag, then they compress that, and then they put that bag into a standard vacuum bag/container, and they compress that, and then by the time the buyer gets his bud, they'll have bud with the exterior displaying clearly damaged trichomes, and a lot of trichomes attached to the inner surface of the first bag. Of course while not the biggest deal, my point is that this is yet another way JackBlue stands out from the rest...seems like he's thought of every last thing and got it covered to maintain that top spot he earned during the huge 4/20 contest last spring.

CANNABIS: Now for the buds. I ordered the blueberry x uk cheese aka Blue Cheese. It is clearly a hybrid. The color of the buds is darker green than a strain like blue dream or green crack, but it is not quite as dark as certain heavy indicas I've had, such as a local batch of Romulan I had a month or so ago. Come to think of it, the color is identical to the Mendo Ghost I reviewed earlier from SativaSally. The Blue Cheese had an intoxicating fragrance, with deeply musky overtones and sharply sweet undertones, appropriate for this true hybrid. The density of the buds was also quite high, again not quite as rock hard as some of the heavy indicas I've had, such as og venom, but certainly close, with an extreme tightness, that really adds to the joy of handling and consuming these buds. Tighter buds just feel more professionally grown. The trichomes appeared more in line with those of sativa-heavy hybrids, being closer to the the white/cloudy color spectrum (versus the blonde color I've noticed indicas tend to show), and of medium length (longer length = sativa, shorter= indica). And the TRIM JOB IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE, I DON'T KNOW HOW JB DOES IT, WHETHER HE HIRES A TEAM OF TRIMMERS TO WORK DILIGENTLY OR IF THE BUD JUST NATURALLY HAS AN EXTREMELY LOW RATIO OF SUGAR LEAVES TO PURE, PURE BUD, BUT MY GOODNESS, THE TRIM JOBS ON HIS BUDS ARE AT NUG-PORN LEVELS. The stems are incredibly thin and small, making me think there is no way the buds could have been supported by the plant themselves, JB must use some support system to relieve the stress, quite interesting. This might not be overly important for smokers, but for vaporizers like me, a higher nug to leaf, and nug to stem ratio is extremely appreciated, as it exponentially increases the smoothness and taste. I've seen great buds by others throughout the years that are fairly high potency, sold at the same price as JB's buds or sometimes higher when taking into account all the generous weight, but they have a low nug to leaf ratio, and I'm starting to think it's because some of the other vendors don't properly mature their buds, because JB's buds hardly have even the tiny little leafs that you can't take out and they get stuck in between the buds and somehow end up in your bowl, no matter how hard you try to avoid them. The cure for this Blue Cheese was fantastic, not dry at all, and not too moist either; smokers will find the consistency perfect, and vaporizers may have to let the bud sit out for 20 minutes before crushing finely for vaping. Now for the taste, just like the smell, tastes pleasantly musky and slightly sweet, but it surprisingly had a very subtle and spicy mint component added to the taste as well (only evident in a good vaporizer), which was a nice surprise. And high is a very clearheaded HAPPY high, that is energetic, lasts a SUPER long time compared to other strains, a good 3-4 hours per session for folks with tolerances like mine. The high is similar to Blue Dream, but a slight bit more relaxed and controlled but still containing the spacey feeling, making this a true all-day strain. This did not provide any couchlock, and I am able to concentrate for long periods of time on both mechanical as well as abstract works while high on this strain.

OVERALL: another 10/10 banger, JackBlue is still the clear #1 in my book. I don't think Blue Cheese is currently available, but regardless, I think it was a real winner and should stay in the mix for the future. A very happy high. I had a very bad night last night extending into a bad morning today, but this strain was able to euphorically uplift my mood for a complete 180 flip.

Thanks for everything, sorry for all the grammatical mistakes, particularly the syntax, but I am not going to waste time in fixing them, this ain't no essay.



Much Love,
UANDiR1

UANDiR1 thanks again for this thread!!  :D
SR really should distinguish between indica and sativa. I dont like to smoke bc I get Severely paranoid...BUT NOW I LOVE sativa. Its so different. So, here are my reviews:

SativaSally: Pandoras Box: LOVE, awesome, amazing!! Talkative, upbeat, happy, laughing, joking. No paranoia! I cant believe the positive outlook and overall talkativeness this gives me! Truly enjoy this!!

Midwest Medical: Skunk #1: Not my favorite. My fiance (these buys are for him) liked it. But we think he either sent us something other than the Skunk #1 or Skunk #1 is just not heavy on the sativa side. It also looked more like kush that we have tried from SR than the Pandora's Box from SativaSally.

So there is my 2 cents. :) Please dont get me worng, both were outstanding and got me stoned....Pandora's Box was just more what we were looking for..SATIVA!!

Cheers all!  ;D

2 reviews to leave here

Vendor: Jackblue
Strain: 14g of Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mint) for $185

Communication (5/5): Jack always replies to messages pretty quick, and he's a relaxed guy who's easy to talk to and joke with.  He was willing to substitute an 8th of his famous Blue Dream in my order, which I was grateful for.

Shipping (5/5) - 3 days, on par with the best.

Stealth/Packaging (5/5)- Jack's new shipping method is flawless.  Top stealth, yet keeps the nugs preserved in all of their glory.  I highly recommend vendors take notes, because this definitely gives jack a competitive advantage in this area.

Product Appearance and Smell (5/5) - Girl Scout Cookies: I've never had this strain before, but it smells fucking wonderful.  Stinks up my entire house.  The buds are manicured to perfection, allowing the buds to show their beauty.  The nugs vary from dark to light green, with purple splotches on the nicer buds, all absolutely COATED in hug trichomes.  These are some of the densest buds I've ever had, and they are a bitch to grind up.  Definitely the prettiest nugs I have EVER had the pleasure of owning.
    Blue Dream:  The Blue Dream doesn't smell as sweet as the GSC (nose got kinda stuffed up) but it still makes its presence known.  These buds are extremely fluffy, and nearly every inch  has deep orange hairs practically bursting out of it.  The trichomes are everywhere just like with the GSC- this stuff sparkles.

Product Effects (5/5): GSC: My brother and I loaded up my bong and about 1/3 of the way through smoking it we just looked at each other, droopy-eyed with the biggest grins.  This stuff kicks off with a really powerful head high that lasts for about 30 minutes before seamlessly transitioning into a nice, heavy body high.  You really get the best of both worlds here.  Ashes white, tastes good going down and clean on the exhale.  The high lasted for a good 3+ hours which is amazing with my tolerance. I see why everyone raves about this stuff.
     Blue Dream: After the GSC wore off, I packed up another bong to see how the BD stacks up.  The high from this stuff didn't hit me as hard, but was incredibly uplifting.  The head high from this is very clear and enjoyable, and the body high is slight but there.  It tasted delicious, and the high was top notch.

My first experience with JackBlue has exceeded my expectations!  His shipping is top notch and his buds are a work of beauty- the best I have had on the Silk Road.  I'll definitely have an eye out for any future crops, and the concentrates you have in stock.

 Vendor: Kushdepot
Strain: Free 1g sample of OG Kush ($4 for shipping)

Communication (5/5): I didn't have to communicate much, just sent kushdepot some of my previous reviews and expressed an interest in sampling his bud. He was responsive and helpful.

Shipping (5/5) - 3 days, the standard for my area.

Stealth/Packaging (4.5/5)- The stealth was pretty good.  Labels and packaging were fine. Visual layers were there.  I would have preferred 1 more vac seal, but there was no odor anyway.  Just needs a bit of tweaking.

Product Appearance and Smell (5/5) - I got a sample of about 1.3-1.4 of popcorn OG kush nugs.  These nugs were light green with a few dark green leaves, with a very nice bit of trichome coverage and yellow hairs.  The buds were very sticky and smelled divine.  The classic piney OG Kush scent is unmistakable, and kushdepot's take on the strain hits your nose like a heavyweight champion.  Very well cured bud, I kept opening my pill bottle to take a whiff.
Product Effects (5/5): I could feel this bud kicking in after one gravity bong hit, but my brother and I decided to pack up my bong as well.  I could feel this bud kicking in very shortly after taking a few rips.  The resulting body stone and head rush was extremely pleasant, and really mellowed me out.  This take on OG Kush is more of a sativa I'm used to, but it doesn't sacrifice the potent indica effects that OG is known for. White ash, a potent smoke on the lungs but the high is wonderful.

Kushdepot is a very pleasant vendor to work with, and gave a generous sample of some killer OG Kush.  I will be looking to this man for my OG Kush needs in the future, and hope to see some other strains offered as well.

Hi Jasmine,

Thanks for the thoughts, and I'm happy to say that since the creation of this thread a couple of months ago, SR FINALLY ADDED THE SATIVA/INDICA/HYBRIDS DIFFERENTIATION FEATURE a couple of weeks ago! YAY! Makes me feel like we really made a difference with this thread (albeit many other folks outside of this thread were complaining to SR admins too). So that makes things for us sativa lovers A LOT easier. Now the only thing we need is a way to be able to use the SR search engine within the parameters of a single nation, i.e. USA to USA only, rather than use the search feature and have results from all over the world come up. The "Domestic Only" feature only works when browsing within categories, not when using the search engine, which is faulty, it should cover both.

Anyhow, I'm glad you liked SativaSally and MidwestMedical; I've tried their Mendo Ghost and Skunk No. 1 strains, respectively, and they were both super dank, near fire. The batch of the skunk from MM that you received may have been accidentally another strain as you already theorized, because I clearly remember the Skunk No. 1 being slightly airy and SUPER fluffy, not dense at all, with lots of crystals and a PURE sativa high, no elements of indica at all.

Also, those vendors are around pretty much year-round, non-stop, and they are definitely my go-to vendors (including BlueSkiesRedEyes too) during JackBlue's hiatuses. But when JackBlue is in business (like around 2 weeks per every three months these days, because he sells out SUPER quick), it's tough to beat him (of course I'd like to see it done, but it hasn't happened thus far, so the CHALLENGE remains). I've tried his Blue Dream and Blue Cheese, and will hopefully soon be able to try his Girl Scout Cookies by next week, and maybe get a review of that up for you folks too, although it seems like the Girl Scout Cookies have been reviewed to death all over the place, definitely a popular strain.

Infinite Love,

Greetings Friends,

I've been ill the past several days, but I'm feeling better, so I'm back with another review, and I'm happy to say I've found another great vendor, who might be able to bring the SR cannabis competition to the next level (so far all the contests have been dominated by the same 3 vendors, particularly JackBlue, so it'll be good to see more TRUE medicinal grade vendors in competition). As for the review, here it goes:

Vendor (Overall: 9.5/10): Buttonwood

Item (Overall: 9/10): Platinum Jack

Shipping/Stealth (9/10): I received the item fast--3 days if memory serves correctly. Stealth was great, with the use of a fake company, proper vacuum seal, and a container holding the bud that boosted the presentation value of the bud many-fold by beautifully casing this grower's gem. The only slight weakness in the stealth was that while other vendors often include a fake invoice or some paper with a fake logo to further the stealth, Buttonwood instead included a slip of paper with a coupon/promo code on it that was not stealth-friendly but rather alluded to a common slang code for cannabis. Again, this was only a slight weakness, but one that I decided to point out for future improvement, as this vendor is new after all, and I've ordered from 19 different vendors, so I've picked up a thing or two.

Product Quality (9/10): This bud was very dank, just a notch below straight fire, and DEFINITELY indoor medicinal grade. The extremely pungent smell hits your nostrils the second you pop open the neat little case I mentioned earlier, leaving your nervous system orgasmically stimulated by the sharp lemon-mint scent classically reminiscent of this blockbuster Platinum Jack strain. It is evident to me that the reason at least one reviewer here was suspicious that he wrongfully received the Lemon OG instead of the Platinum Jack was due to the sharp lemon-mint scent of the P. Jack, but that reviewer should have clearly been able to note the difference between this true sativa and the indica strain of Lemon OG by noting the sharpness of the scent with skunk undertones in this strain versus the sweeter, more mildly scented indicas. Not to mention, this bud clearly has the light density common for sativas, although the buds are still extremely tight, with extremely small calyxes, resulting in a very high bud to waste ratio, which is obviously very favorable; often this characteristic is mostly dependent upon the genetics of the strain, but the growing skill also plays an important role, so I just simply have to commend the grower for churning out such healthy, meaty buds. As for the trichomes, they are clearly cloudy/white colored, which is the way sativas are supposed to be, versus the amber color resemblant of indicas. The trichomes also appear to be quite healthy, although some appear to be not as mature as they could have been when quickly observing under the magnification, which may explain the great quality of high that this bud produces, but with the slightly below-average length of the high. Indeed the high was a pure sativa cerebral-explosion powerhouse, the kind of high that psychedelic fans crave, with a peak about 30 minutes into the high, and then a transition from a cerebral orgasm to a more relaxing body stone feeling by the 85 minute mark (hour and fifteen mins into the high), with the high subsiding by the 120 minute mark. I am an advanced user with a very high tolerance, so keep that in mind. Another important quality for me was the cure. THE CURE WAS PERFECT. It's always perfect when the bud stops feeling like a herb and starts feeling more like candy, haha. In the space case it went, and out it came perfect fine grind for the optimal vaporizing experience, with plenty of kief to top of the bud-filled bowl. I'm sick of the second rate cures that even some of the best vendors on SR dish up, so I'm really pleased with the deep cure that Buttonwood's Platinum Jack demonstrated. And lastly, the taste was PHENOMENAL. Like most buds, this strain tasted just as it smelled, which made for an EXTREMELY FUN VAPORIZING EXPERIENCE! The sharpest lemon-mint tasting bud I have had in my life, yum! So overall, if you are a sativa lover like myself, this is certainly a strain you do not want to miss!

Communication/Friendliness (10/10): Buttonwood communicates very quickly and professionally, not to mention this vendor is genuinely nice!



So anyways, I hope that helps all of you cannabis connoisseurs actively searching for the best as I do. Keep Buttonwood on your radar. 


Infinite Love,

UANDiR1: Thanks for the mentions in this thread!  I'm truly humbled at the response my products have received. 

Someone just pointed me this direction, so I thought I'd chime in for you sativa lovers:

The next crop is coming in very soon and should be saleable by the end of September.  More of the Blue Dream y'all want, and I will have a small amount of a new strain available for you to check out.  I found a seed in some killer Blueberry Sour Diesel and popped it.  The result wasn't quite like the original, but has a headier, almost speedy high than the bud that spawned it.  Several of my sativa-loving friends rapidly bought out what little I had from the test plants, so it earned a larger growspace and will be more readily available the end of November.

Apologies again for the downtime on my listings, but the work you didn't see and the wait you did will benefit everyone in the end. :D

The next crop is coming in very soon and should be saleable by the end of September.  More of the Blue Dream y'all want, and I will have a small amount of a new strain available for you to check out.  I found a seed in some killer Blueberry Sour Diesel and popped it.  The result wasn't quite like the original, but has a headier, almost speedy high than the bud that spawned it.  Several of my sativa-loving friends rapidly bought out what little I had from the test plants, so it earned a larger growspace and will be more readily available the end of November.

Apologies again for the downtime on my listings, but the work you didn't see and the wait you did will benefit everyone in the end. :D

Hi BlueSkiesRedEyes,

It's so nice to see you post an update here since you folks are essentially celebrities in my eyes, as you highly skilled top-shelf medicinal growers are quite under-respected from what I've gathered, especially considering the additional security dangers you have to endure; hence every time I see one of my favorite vendors chime in here, it makes me very happy :) .

And that preview for the Blueberry Sour Diesel just made my mind orgasm; it will definitely be my main "Black Friday" purchase in November if it'll be ready by then!

Hi Friends!


I'm back with another review :), this time of a trusted vendor's, EastCoastCollective , batch of the beloved L.S.D hybrid strain (flower). He described this batch as one of his finest harvests yet, akin to fine wine, hence I simply had to snag a half ounce and see for myself:

---------------START OF REVIEW--------------

PROCESSING+SHIPPING (10/10): The vendor, ECC, shipped the package same day. I received the package after it being in transit for only two days.

STEALTH (9/10):
Professionally printed address label, well sealed product, ECC used more bags than the average vendor I have used (and I've tried 20 different vendors, so I've got some experience), including the most stealthy mylar bag. So this vendor certainly mastered the fundamentals. There a couple of other creative 'supplemental' stealth techniques that I have seen a couple of other vendors implement that ECC may decide to also add to their process in the future, but for now, they are just fine.

PRODUCT QUALITY: (9.5/10)
So since I just received the package today, I only had the chance to vaporize about 0.80 so far (product was overweight by the way, so ECC is obviously a generous vendor), but I believe I've received a sufficiently detailed impression to review it now. The fragrance of this cannabis flower was extremely dynamic--clearly in line with its powerful genetic parents of Skunk #1 and Mazar--with a sharp lemon-mint skunk scent (very similar to a strain such as Platinum Jack Herrer) that was contrasted with sweet, deeply musk undertones. As for the appearance, these healthy tight buds were eye candy, with a fantastic trim job that helped elevate the beauty of these crystal-filled pyramid shaped buds to their full potential; there were very few superfluous sugar leafs on these buds, they were very finely manicured as though prepared for some photo-shots by High Times. The buds also boasted a mixed array of amber and cloudy trichomes, though slightly more amber, which hinted towards the hybrid nature of this batch with a slight tip towards the indica side. The trichomes also appeared fully matured and very healthy under the magnifying glass. And the cure was top notch, very much acceptable to a medicinal vaporizer as myself.

Now for the high. I have had and loved Skunk #1, and unfortunately have yet to try the much famed Mazar, but the potent relaxation effect that is characteristic of the Mazar definitely pronounced itself in ECC's batch of the wonderful L.S.D.strain. With that said, the cerebral euphoria (from the Skunk #1) is also very powerful in this batch, making this what I would thus far personally calculate as a 40% Sativa and 60% Indica Hybrid. I definitely did not experience any couch-lock, although a deep relaxation with a steady euphoria without the need to either sleep or move around / talk too much. The high I received from this batch was perfect for both difficult projects/work requiring long moments of concentration and also for social occasions which would otherwise be anxiety-provoking. And the length of the high is quite long, a solid 3-4 hours per 0.40 bowl vaporized for me, which for a high tolerance user like myself is above average (with average being 2 hours per 0.40 bowl vaporized). This bud is definitely very enjoyable, and I am very pleased as well as grateful that I had the opportunity to try this 'fine wine' batch by ECC. It is a must try for all the cannabis connoisseurs on SR.

OVERALL: 9.5 / 10

ECC, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Much Respect,
UANDiR1

I can't believe Mom N Pop Stuff hasn't been mentioned. Their Jack Herer is easily in my top 5 sativas Ive ever had. Truly an excellent specimen of this varietal and it has been nothing but a pleasure to do business with the vendor.
