Title: ))))GAIAGARDEN(((( - Rumor Mill Review Thread
Post by: ekoostik on April 14, 2013, 12:13 am
He has one in the Newbie and Market forums, but I just thought I'd throw this out in the rumor mill so people will stumble upon it.

The vedor is GAIAGARDEN. He is currently selling marijuana, but states that he will possibly carry Ketamine, MDMA, and Honey Butane Oil. He currently sells domestic, but may consider international orders in the future.

Here's a review from a different thread by DOTHEDAMNTHING

"Here's my review of the samples I received from the new cannabis vendor Gaia Garden. GG sent me very generous samples of two different strains- Alaskan Ice and Prophet. He is a cool guy to talk with and is definitely very knowledgeable about what he does. Judging from the quality and generosity of the samples he provided, it's safe to say GG is fully committed to his customers' satisfaction and to building a successful business here on SR. I'm happy to be one of the first to give him the praise he deserves. I have a feeling there will be many more to come.

On to the review...

Shipping (5/5) - I placed my order for the samples late Thursday night/early Friday morning. GG informed me that he would put the package in the mail first thing that morning. It arrived today, Monday, so he was definitely on top of it. No worries in this department. You should have no issues with shipping/response time when dealing with GG.

Stealth/Packaging (5/5) - This was very well done, as well. The outside of the package was inconspicuous and discreet, with printed labels and clean, professional packaging methods. No sloppy tape, rips, etc. On the inside, it was similarly well done. I had asked GG to label the samples, which he did, and they were double vac sealed with plenty of visual barrier on all sides. The visual barrier also doubled as a clever way to add a little more weight to the package, making it seem like something else entirely. Not a bit of smell until breaking the last seal on the buds. Again, no worries in this department. GG has you taken care of.

Product (5/5) - The first sample that I tried was the Alaskan Ice. Clearnet pic -----> http://i.imgur.com/eLE3yVb.jpg

I am somewhat familiar with this strain, but it has been quite some time since I have had the chance to get my hands on some. I was quickly reminded of what a great strain this is. Upon initial inspection, I was greeted with a pungent, spicy aroma. The undertones were almost skunk-like, but not quite; I would describe them as piney. It was sort of like what you would envision an exotic rainforest to smell like; just really bright and clean. The buds are a mixture of light and mid green with bright orange hairs crawling all over. These buds were given a nice trim job, as well. Properly cured, with a nice density, but just the right amount of "give" when giving the bud a gentle squeeze. The bud is coated with a thick layer of sticky trichs. And I mean STICKY. It is so sticky that it is almost a bit of a chore to grind up, but nevertheless it ground up pretty well and, as expected, produced a very nice amount of kief. I can't imagine trying to break this bud down by hand.

The Alaskan Ice has a taste that is similar to its smell. There is more of a fresh, earthy undertone on inhale, while the exhale provides the pleasant spiciness that is present in the scent. After vaping a good sized bowl, the high crept up and set in quickly. The sativa dominance was apparent almost immediately as a warm, euphoric state of mind took over. Just a bright, clean high with a nice alertness and sense of awareness. Best described as a "soaring" type of high, in my opinion. The indica traits are noticeable as well, although obviously less so. But you still get a nice bit of stoniness that sets in later on in the high and provides a bit of a mellow, relaxed feeling. However, the cerebral effects are on full display at all times and are clearly the redeeming quality of this strain. A very enjoyable strain to experience.

I moved on to the Prophet a few hours later. Clearnet pic -----> http://i.imgur.com/aNReoHO.jpg

This was my first experience with this strain, and it definitely did not disappoint. This strain had less of a pungent aroma than the AI, but it's still worthy of noting. The scent was slightly more musty, although not overpowering, with floral hints. Also a bit of a hash undertone. The bud is a bright lime green with reddish-orange pistils curled around it. A bit more leafy than the AI, but still well trimmed, and covered with glistening trichs. The Prophet was quite a bit more dense than the AI as well. These are some rock hard nuggets. They were clearly well taken care of during every step of the growing process.

I broke out my glass for this strain since my girlfriend had commandeered my vape. The inhale was smooth, but potent. The taste was quite the contrast to the AI, with the main difference being the dominating presence of kush. Upon exhale, a bit of citrus is noticeable, along with the undertones of hash that are present in the scent. A nice lung expander, for sure. The bud was flushed properly and burned to a light white ash. The high was also in direct contrast to the AI. This is an indica dominant strain which provides a mellow, peaceful full body experience. The heady buzz is still there in nice balance, but the relaxing, somewhat narcotic effects are what this strain is all about. I sank into the couch after smoking and was just in one of those familiar trances. Fairly long lasting effects, as well, when compared to many other modern strains. Another very enjoyable experience.

Overall (5/5) - I am very impressed with Gaia Garden. He delivered in every aspect of the transaction, and I would certainly not hesitate to do business with him in the future. As I stated earlier, he was very generous with his samples. Thanks for that, GG. I fully expect him to be successful here on SR if he continues to provide product and service of this quality. Thanks again GG, and I look forward to dealing with you again sometime soon. "


Here was my review after his:

"Well, I got lost in the mix for free samples. When I chose to buy an oz of Prophet, GaiaGarden was nice enough to throw in a nice-sized sample of the Alaskan Ice as well. He was very prompt and professional. I received the pack and was happy with the stealth. I had no worries in that department. DoTheDamnThing did a great job describing both strains, so I won't elaborate too much. When I opened the vac containing the Prophet, you could definitely recognize the Bubba Kush lines in this strain by the smell. I had one nug that weighed close to 4.5g, other wise they ranged from popcorn sized to 3g. A really nice high on three hits (again, similar to Bubba). It seemed a little dry, but smoked really well, with little waste. A decent trim, and really nice cure. The Alaskan Ice is very distinct in it's smell and taste. Like DTDT said, a spicy undertone that you can definitely taste and smell...peppery. A really nice Sativa high from this one. It's not overpowering, but very enjoyable and uplifting...a little shorter lived than Prophet. An alert high that definitely hits your frontal lobe and sinus areas, as any good Sativa will.
Potency scale: Alaskan Ice - 4.75/5  Prophet - 4.7/5 *Note* 5 is considered 'Diggity Dank Top Shelf' and 4 is considered 'Nice Greenhouse'. I haven't given a 5 for potency yet. If you've read any of my other reviews, these ratings put both strains in with some of the best I've had on SR thus far.

Overall, GaiaGarden proved to me they know what they're doing. Shipping was good, communication was good, the product is exactly as described. Gaia's price point is on par with others, and the herb is worth a try. I am happy with my transaction, and believe you will be too. I will most definitely be back. He gets a thumbs up!"

I received my pkg from GaiaGarden it is 1 gm of each, Alaskan Ice and Prophet. The packaging was excellent and the shipping very fast. They had the names on the bags which is very helpful. Nothing like having a bunch of bud arrive on the same day and have no clue what it what and who it is from. They are beautiful buds and they smell really nice. I like the smell of the Prophet a bit better then the other but it is all in the buzz so I will update this later. Both appear over weight as well

GAIAGARDEN is the real deal. They have true medical grade cannabis. You will not be disappointed with their products. Both Alaskan Ice and Prophet were totally righteous. AI is as strong as its reputation states and Prophet was also very, very enjoyable. These guys are in the same league as EastCoastCollective and Private Reserve. Unlike many other vendors, they actually deliver on what they advertise. Buy with confidence.

HOLY CraP Guts this vendor has earned my business!

My sample of Prophit was 1.83 Gr and it totally floored me and those around me who have tried it. We are seriously knocked on our assses.

The Aalskan was 1.71 on my scales

Heres a pic of some of the Prophet I got left. This chunk will make a fat joint because this stuff is so dense.

I am not believing such awesome qualities out of this weed. Thanks for the generous sample I'll be buying some soon.

Thank you GaiaGarden, every time i order from you the weed is COVERED in crystals and looks like is just came out of the oven. Seriously guys i have never seen this many crystals and weed that looked this fresh, and i have made a good amount of purchases on silk road.  Every time i order from GaiaGarden this is the case.

Stealth: There are only 44 listed  vendors on silk road that use Moisture Barrier Bags (the bags that are smellproof to a dog and ex-ray prroof to even superman. She sends it so you never have to sign for it if it fits in your mailbox.
