Rock Tuna

The bag appeal on this Rock Tuna was absolutely insane. Rated as a craft quad and I'd definitely agree. Beautiful bud structure and colour pallete, and generously blanketed in resinous trichome heads. Sticky to the touch when broken up and left my fingers clinging to one another.
As a fan of any tuna strains, I instantly recognized the pungent aroma of nose stinging gas, and that typical tuna dankness. Really stunk up the place with little effort. Translated to taste as well with a thick and overpowering smoke that wasn't harsh but just really heavy and flavourful. Especially in a bong!
Extremely relaxing, sedating, and euphoric type indica high with strong couch locking effects. Probably should keep it hidden from the rookie smokers as it's definitely a potent one. For the price it was listed it would have been a steal but unfortunately sold out.
God's Green Crack

Despite it being such a household name, there's something oddly exciting about ggc. This one from lowpricebud is part of their end of the year sale and came with really nice bag appeal. Plump and sticky buds that are neatly trimmed and heavily caked in trichs. Lots of orange hairs with your typical ggc colours in purples and greens.
The nose on this flower is very herbal and woodsy with a sweet, earthy finish. Really intensifies as the buds are broken up. The smell translates fairly nicely to the taste, just not as pronounced. Pretty smooth though, producing a semi-thick smoke that burns a light grey ash in a bong.
Produces a very heady and relaxing high, and begins with an immediate heaviness behind the eyes. Fairly uplifting too paired with a calming and functional body buzz. Great hybrid effects that are suitable for any activity.

Only had this potent strain a few times and this was a very good rendition of it without a doubt. Dense nugs with a tight structure and littered with trichs throughout. Mainly forest green in colour with subtle purple hues, and very little leaf. Also moderately sticky with a good moisture level and clean snapping of the stems.
Nothing super crazy with the smell or taste but a very familiar one at that. Earthy, piney, and nutty, with some herbal undertones. Smooth and easy on the lungs when smoked in a joint, with a light grey/salt and pepper ash.
Found the high to be fairly potent and came on more so in creeper fashion. Relaxing mind and body effects that were heavily indica leaning and made me quite tired when I smoked some in the afternoon.
Platinum Cookies Shatter

This shatter had a nice appearance and texture to it and for the listed price I feel like it's decent quality. Arrived a little cold of course and was more 'shatter like' but as soon as it warmed up to room temp it became more malleable and sticky with a pull and snap consistency.
Dabbing at medium temp brought out the flavours quite well and was rather terpy. Tastes of sweet and musky berries and was smooth on the lungs. The residue left in the banger was a tad darker when q tipped.
Very relaxing and tingly body stone after a couple dabs and an all around feel good type of high. Slightly indica leaning as well but didn't leave me severely burned out afterwards.
