Shipping/Packaging
Delivered locally same day in Toronto. Minimal packaging was required and was dropped off in my mailbox. Mylar bags placed in a medium sized envelope and I was notified before and after the delivery. Very discreet and courteous.
Strains
Death Star OG

Death Star OG, a combination of 3 classic strains, Sour Diesel, Sensi Star, and OG Kush. Very greasy and resinous look to these partially dense buds, with colours of dark greens and purples, and a thick layer of trichomes. Not super sticky but a decent moisture within the buds and they grind up beautifully. Little bit of sugar leaf here and there.
Very pungent aroma right out of the bag. Exactly what I would expect from this strain. Strong, dank notes of sour earth and diesel with subtle skunky undertones. Very flavourful as well in a joint from beginning to end and was extremely smooth and easy to inhale big clouds. Burned with a nice light ash.
The high on this one was very different as the time went on. At first, it's mostly all in the head and eyes with the classic sour diesel tendencies, feeling very zoned out and spacey. Before you know it the creeper effects kick in and forces you to melt into the couch in a very relaxed and sedated state. Decent quality all around although a tad steep in price in my humble opinion.
Island Pink Kush

This Island Pink Kush arrived in dense, frosty, and slightly fox tailed nugs. Very tight trim with virtually no leaf. Dark green in appearance with plenty of rustic, peach coloured hairs and milky trichomes. Not incredibly sticky but not dry either keeping in mind that this was a small sample and not a large amount.
One of those aromas that remained subtle and dormant until cracked apart. Sweet and gassy, with that body odor kush type smell. Not the terpiest of pinks when smoked but still very enjoyable with a clean, slow burn, and oil ring. Produces a thick smoke that hits hard but isn't harsh at all.
The high is indica leaning, producing heady and euphoric effects that are followed by a very relaxing body buzz. Not your knockout type of indica making it perfect for all day use but can also leave you a little tired and burnt out. Similar to the death star in price but there are often coupons and promos around as well.
Boss Hogg

Boss Hogg is the supposed child of Chemdawg 4 x Chemdawg 4 bx1(backcross). Being part of NextLevelLeafs' budget options at 100/oz, this bud holds some nice value. Semi dense and conical in structure, sporting shades of olive green accompanied by yellow and brown pistils. Not the greatest of trims, however no visible sign of handling as there are copious amounts of intact trichome heads ranging from clear to amber. A tad on the crispy/dry side but still breaks up decently without any crumbling to powder.
The profile is very unique, hitting all sorts of different notes that quickly merge into one another. Sweet and sour at first with hints of diesel and what I strongly believe to be a touch of cinnamon. Quickly transitions into the chem side with undertones of earth and skunky kush which translates fairly nicely to the taste. Thick smoke, yet smooth, and burns decently clean leaving a lighter colored ash.
This Boss Hogg produces a very nice buzz, although not the longest lasting. Instant euphoric head high followed by a tightness around the temples and heaviness behind the eyes. Doesn't take too long before drifting off into a relaxing and calming state, but still maintaining functionality. Decent hybrid on a budget.
