(Triangle Kush x Animal Mints)

Purchased for 50 out the door (33 with my discount) at Garden of Eden in Hayward. I’d gladly pay the non discounted price for this strain so with the discount it’s a steal.

Wedding Cake is one of the few strains that I’ve never had a batch of, every time I get this strain it kicks my ass. I’m sure shitty versions of this strain exist but I haven’t seen it yet. This batch in particular is some of the best Wedding Cake I’ve ever had, and that’s saying a lot. It has big chunky nugs that are still super sticky even though this batch is from January. The smell is sweeter than usual for this strain, and the taste is a bit stronger than usual as well. It has a very strong indica high that’s super heavy but also has the full body relaxation that you’d expect out of something like GDP. Most indicas I’ve tried are either heavy or relaxing, it’s pretty hard to find one that does both. It’s basically the perfect strain as far as I’m concerned as long as you don’t mind not being able to function. Tested at 24.65% THC.

(Lemon Fuel OG x Gelato #41)

Purchased for $60 tax included from Indika, a delivery service in the East Bay. No discounts, no coupons, just 60 bucks. I have no fucking clue why dispensaries mark the price up so much on Alien Labs bud, I’ve seen it at a dispensary in the same city for 75 plus tax ($100+ out the door). Just goes to show that a lot of the bullshit pricing you see nowadays is on the clubs, not the growers.

I’ve been meaning to try this strain out since it dropped but I never got around to it til now and damn, I’ve been missing out. This is probably my favorite Alien Labs strain and that’s saying a lot. I love pretty much everything about this strain: the look, the taste, and the high are all on point. It smells tastes like a super gassy cut of gelato and has a very strong taste. It has an incredibly strong slightly indica dominant high that hits very hard very quickly. It won’t totally knock you out unless you smoke too much but it works pretty well for sleep and it’ll definitely glue you to the couch. It’s pretty rare to find a strain this heavy that you can still kinda function on so this is definitely one to watch out for. Tested at 24.38% THC.

60 out the door is the most I’ll ever pay for flower so it has to be fuckin amazing to justify the price, thankfully this strain definitely is. I don’t think I’d pay that price for every AL strain but there’s a select few (Area 41, Melonade, Lemon Fuel OG) that are definitely worth the ticket.

(Wedding Cake bx1)

Purchased for 60 out the door (40 with my discount) at Garden of Eden in Hayward.

This is easily the best strain I’ve had in the the past few months, I could smoke this shit for years and still not get tired of it. It has huge super dense nugs (the nug in the pic is an entire eighth) that are totally covered in trichomes. It has the signature gassy vanilla smell of a Wedding Cake cross, a bit gassier than the original. The high takes a while to kick in but is insanely strong, I literally felt like I was sinking into my couch the first time I had it. It’s an extremely heavy indica so I wouldn’t recommend it if you plan on doing anything other than sitting on your ass (or sleeping) but if you know what you’re getting into then this is some top notch bud. Tested at 27.52% THC.

(Chemdawg x Girl Scout Cookies)

Purchased for 60 out the door (40 with my discount) at Garden of Eden in Hayward.

This is consistently one of the strongest strains I’ve ever had, I’ve never had a batch that failed to get me incredibly high. Just goes to show you don’t need weird ass genetics to make an awesome strain. It has an extremely pungent smell that’s pretty hard to describe, it’s kinda like super skunky garlic if that makes any sense. It has an incredibly strong indica dominant high that kicks in pretty fast and seems to last a super long time. The high is pretty damn intense so I really wouldn’t recommend this strain for lightweights but if you can handle really high levels of THC then this is the strain for you. I know some people might be skeptical of the test results but all I can say is it gets me high as fuck. Tested at 37.08% THC.

(Grape Pie x Animal Cookies)

Purchased at Garden of Eden in Hayward for 60 out the door (40 with my employee discount). 60 bucks is my ceiling for how much I’ll spend on bud, although it’s not a bad price considering that the standard price for top shelf in the Bay Area is 60 plus tax.

I’ve been a huge fan of Cannarado’s Grape Pie crosses lately so I was super stoked to give this one a shot and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. If it’s not obvious from the picture this strain is totally coated in trichomes, you could easily mistake it for Purple Punch if it wasn’t for the denser nug structure. The smell is also similar to PP, it has the same super sweet grape syrup smell with a bit of mustiness from the Animal Cookies. The high is what really sets this strain apart though, it has an extremely heavy relaxing indica high. The effects hit pretty fast and very hard, this strain will have you spacing out like 5 min after your first hit. It can be pretty intense if you’re not ready for it but this strain is perfect for you if you like getting totally blasted. Tested at 31.93% THC.
