Kootenay Botanicals Review - March 2020

Thechronickid00

MoM/RetailerName Kootenay Botanicals Shipping/Packaging Shipped in a protective box and sent out from BC to Ontario in 3 quick days. Nothing was squashed and there was no odours as the products were vac sealed. Strains : Purple Chemdawg : https://i.imgur.com/DxklBUL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EZFGl28.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1lCS3nm.jpg Absolutely a big fan of Chemdawg related strains. This sample of Purple Chemdawg introduces Grand Daddy Purple into the mix, making for some very beautiful looking buds. A combination of dark greens and light purples, blanketed in full trichome heads. A little crisp on the outside but not dry all the way through and could definitely use a little Integra/boveda love. It seems very well cured though and decently trimmed minus some sugar leaf. The aroma instantly gives off unmistakable notes of sweet grapes, reminding me of purple kush, followed by hints of diesel. When broken up, the Chemdawg takes over with a rich, nutty smell and soft grape undertones. Translates to taste very accurately with an ultra smooth and creamy smoke. I will update on the ash and burn once I try it in a joint but in a bong it was effortless to inhale. When it came to the high, it was no slouch either but it definitely had me slouched back into my couch. It was also very cerebral and focused making it the type of high ideal for show binging or gaming as it didn't make me tired despite the heavily relaxing and long lasting body effects. Widow Cheese : https://i.imgur.com/zbakXgj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YUoajA1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yxIdbJW.jpg This Widow Cheese from Kootenay Botanicals arrived as one dense and springy bud weighing close to 4 grams, sporting a typical cheese appearance with it's olive green colours and faded orange hairs. Not going to win any insane bag appeal points like most cheese strains, but surely makes up for it in trichome coverage as it's just littered with full, undisturbed heads. Also quite sticky as well. There's the woody-cheese type profiles, and the pungent, funky type cheese profiles, and this one is definitely the latter. Sharp, rank notes of aged cheddar, with a faint berry back-end. Very cheesy and acidic, although entices you to keep smelling. Translates surprisingly well to the taste considering most cheese strains don't, leaving a soft and subtle cheese taste on exhale but not in a overwhelming sense. Smooth hitting and clean burning with a light coloured ash. The high is extremely heady and begins instantly with it's uplifting, social, and euphoric effects. Very spacey and stoney, making it insanely easily to drift away with your thoughts and can be a bit too much for some. Slight physical effects kick in eventually but more relaxing than sedating. People that love cheese strains know all about the high it offers and this one was a great example. Blue Jagger : https://i.imgur.com/BtOxHqr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dEgSRcC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sS5DzQX.jpg A cross of LA Confidential, Blue Dream and an unknown strain, this Blue Jagger is part of Kootenay Botanicals' Craft Series. Tremendous bag appeal on this flower, with extremely long stalks topped with milky trichome heads. Very light green in colour, sporting wild orange pistils, and a great trim. Tightly structured buds with a moderate moisture level, not being dry nor sticky. The only category where this flower didn't stand out was the aroma and flavour. A little muted at first and improved slightly upon grinding but still nothing too special. A subtle combination of berries and spices with hints of earthy lemon. The taste was similar and subtle as well, although very smooth smoking. Light salt and pepper ash. I really enjoyed the high on this Blue Jagger and felt it was heavily Blue Dream dominated as it offered a plethora of relaxing and mood enhancing effects. Didn't leave me feeling one bit sedated or fatigued, making it a good time day smoke. A bit on the pricy side considering it's profile doesn't match it's looks and potency in my humble opinion. Pink Kush Kief : https://i.imgur.com/gpBTJxU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AwaN6X4.jpg This is the type of kief I actually enjoy. When it's fresh, sticky, trichome heads clumping together, vs older, oxidized kief. Smelled and tasted exactly like pink kush ; gassy and floral, and made for a great bowl topper over some flower or hash. Adds a potent indica kick to anything. This was a sample review

I was thinking that too but it's how they have it spelled on the site and even on the craft jars lol so I don't know tbh. Surprisingly it doesn't involve Jager in it's genetics

LSO Animal Grease / Kootenay Botanicals / March 2020

/u/joshbucky420

Packaging; Came in a nice amber colored jar in a box triple bagged then in a smell proof shipment bag. Looks; Nice big dense buds that are super 'sugar coated' in crystal. Very colorful with a mix of green and orange and hints of nice blue-blacks on the sugar leaf. Lighter with more of an amber yellowy pistol color. Scent; Dankly skunky with nice creamy sweetness reminded me of the strain gelato, being a bit vanilla scented. Slightly earthy but not a very powerful nose to the bud overall. Smoke; Tasted nicely piney and was slightly harsher, instantly turned my face red and overheated my body. Had a very nice creamy sweet mint taste to make up for the slight harshness. Effects; Fairly heavy could really tell it was an indica made me sink back in my seat and took away all body pain. Put me to sleep so easily I couldn't keep my eyes open. Q= 9 /10 V= 7.5/10 \*Another LSO strain which makes the bud a bit nicer but a bit on the expensive side for us.

LSO Dosi Pop / Kootenay Botanicals / Mar 2020

/u/joshbucky420

Packaging; Came in a nice amber colored jar in a box triple bagged then in a smell proof shipment bag. Looks; Very pretty flower; nice and dense as well as very colorful. A mix of orange, black, blue, green and purple envelop this bud nicely with extreme trichome coverage adding a nice frosty contrast to the dark beauty. Scent; Sweet, creamy and fruity aroma with dank fuel tones made this bud fairly complex in scent. It had nice grape herbal earth hints as well that made it very appealing. Smoke; Very nice creamy grape terps that reminded me of grape creamsicles and left a nice fruit salad flavor lingering on my tongue. With nice hints of pine sap and cherry cola hidden underneath. Effects; Very head high buzz at first that lead into a killer sleepy couch lock that left our eyes heavy. Was great for body pain and very relaxing. ​ Q= 9 /10 V= 7.5/10 \*Another great LSO strain (personally my favorite LSO to date) smoked very nice with bright white ashes but a bit on the high side of our budget.
