BC Medi Chronic samples review, November 2019 1000$ contest win
Won't be reviewing using the MOM template, this was a win, ordered through Discord.. Plus I already reviewed them a few weeks ago, refer to my other review for more information!
To put everyone in context, they had a contest for October where anyone who submitted a review of their products was eligible to win 1000, 700, 500 or 250$ in store credit. I won the 1000$ prize and ordered 7.5OZ with bulk pricing.
Box it came in:

Strain Name: Love Potion #1
Strain Fidelity: First time having it, G13 and Columbian Gold cross, neither of which I had pure versions of.
Size of buds: 8.5/10 Very long but narrow buds. 2-3g each.
Bag Appeal: 9/10 Very unique looking, rarely had buds so narrow and long. The trim is good, but the bud structure is kind of loose so there are some visible leaves all over. Extremely fresh, a bit sticky, strong smell, really nice.
Cure & Humidity: 8.5/10 Losing a bit of points because it's perhaps a tiny bit too humid. More on this in the burn evaluation. Very terpy so cure is on point, but need some jar time/burping to cure a bit more.
Smell Intensity: 9/10 Strong dank smell. The predominant smell is cheesy/skunky, but there's a background of fruit/sweetness. Reminds me a lot of Pineapple Express, but funkier, less fruity.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Super smooth smoke
Burn 6/10 Burns salt/pepper, didn't burn out or anything, but it definitely could burn better.
Taste Intensity: 8.5/10 Like most skunky/cheesy strains, tastes less intense than it smells, but it was very terpy the whole way through.
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Very enjoyable taste, creamy cheese main taste with some fruit (tropical/citrus), much less sweet than it smells, perhaps even a bit of sourness
Buzz Intensity: 8.5/10 For a sativa leaning hybrid, this hit pretty hard. The buzz howerver felt more indica, really made me sleepy fast, didn't get much energy from this.
Price: 200$/OZ
Value: The burn/wetness is it's only problem, not a bad deal at 200$ and I got bulk pricing on it so paid 135 for it. Totally satisfied!
'A' Scale Rating: AAAA-

Strain Name: Grape Ape
Strain Fidelity: First time having it, supposed to be a Mendicino Purp x Skunk x Afghani cross. Only ever had Skunk out of these and I can't quite feel it in the nose or taste.
Size of buds: 8/10 Most nugs are around 1-3g, no shake, no tiny buds, some very minimal popcorn
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Nice trim, the purple/orange/green color mix is breathtaking, it's a bit dry though. The mute smell is a turn off.
Cure & Humidity: 7.5/10 A bit dry on the outside, borderline hay smell, but once broken up it's good decent humidity inside. Prob will improve with some jar time.
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Bit of a hay/floral/generic smell right out of the bag with a slight grape smell. Once broken up it's much stronger and reveals a distinctive kush smell (unexpected given the lineage), but not a room stinker even ground.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8.5/10 This was a fairly smooth smoke. Was able to take big rips on the joint without choking.
Burn 7.5/10 Salt and pepper, but burned well despite this
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 The terps are coming through but are faint. Smoke is disrupting a bit.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Slight sour grape taste. The kush I detected in the nose comes through as well but very faintly. Reminds me a bit of Purple Space Cookies overall.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 This is listed as an indica, but it gave me a buzz that was fairly light and more hybrid/sativa leaning.
Price: 195/OZ, paid 122 bulk
Value: This is the kind of stuff a lot of MOMs would try to pass as a quad but it's really just a decent triple. Wouldn't be happy paying 195 for this, this is more 150ish territory to me.
'A' Scale Rating: AAA, borderline AAA+

Strain Name: Grand Daddy Purple
Strain Fidelity: Yet another classic I had never tried and heard a lot about. A cross of Purple Urkle and Big Bud. I tried Purple Urkle a few times before, had a few Big Bud crosses but never the real deal. I can see slight similatities with Purple Urkle.
Size of buds: 7.5/10 Average sized buds, nothing too small, nothing big.
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Good trim, nice colors, but nothing crazy look-wise. Certainly not as amazing as the pics shown on their site. Not much smell out of the bag, very floral/generic.
Cure & Humidity: 7.5/10 Bit dry on the outside, but decent inside. Smell comes out much better once broken up.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Once broken up it's got a nice aroma. Not a room stinker but still pretty odorant.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very smooth smoke
Burn 8.5 More salt than pepper, but not white.
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 Definitely not a terp overload, but you can make out the terps well.
Taste Complexity: 8/10 Some grape hints, more sour than sweet, more of a 'high pitched' taste. Really not bad, but fairly tame taste.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 A nice mellow indica buzz, not for chronic smokers.
Price: 195/OZ, paid 128/OZ in bulk
Value: This is the kind of stuff I expect to find at 180ish/OZ so 195 is close enough. Fresher it would warrant that 195 tag, as is, it might be a bit dry for it.
'A' Scale Rating: AAA+

Strain Name: Blue Cap Crush
Strain Fidelity: Unclear origins, said to be a cross of Orange Crush and either Blue Dream or Blueberry. 90% sativa they say.
Size of buds: 7/10 A mix of different sizes but mostly on the smaller side of things.
Bag Appeal: 7/10 Nothing special. Has a nice trim, colors are fairly generic, not super caked. Nothing bad, nothing amazing.
Cure & Humidity: 8.5/10 Good freshness throughout, no complaints here, good smell out of the bag too.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 A mostly fruity nose, not super intense but really nice nose. One of the best smelling bags from this order.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7.5/10 A bit ambivalent on this one, it's got a small harshness but it's not from smoke, I think it's really the terp profile. It's one of those 'high pitched' tastes, kinda sharp/dry. Bigger rips caused me to cough, but smaller ones were manageable. Lots of terps though.
Burn 9/10 Nice burn, salt with a bit of pepper.
Taste Intensity: 8.5/10 The terps definitely dominate the taste here, barely get any smoke taste
Taste Complexity: 9/10 There's definitely some blueberry coming through, I'd say dominantly, but it's not a sweet taste, more like sour blueberries. There's also an undeniable skunkiness to it which totally did not announce itself in the nose, but the taste has some old school funk mixed with the sour blueberry, very nice.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Definitely a strongly sativa leaning buzz, for a sativa it hits pretty hard!
Price: 195/OZ, paid 120 bulk
Value: I'd say it's worth it's 195 tag. The slight harshness in the smoke is the only 'issue' with it but it's slight enough.
'A' Scale Rating: AAAA-

Strain Name: Sunset Sherbet
Strain Fidelity: Never had that strain.
Size of buds: 3/10 This OZ was straight popcorn with few average nugs. Not announced as such on the site.
Bag Appeal: 5/10 Generic looking, good trim, mute smell, no special colors, not particularly caked, pretty sad looking weed.
Cure & Humidity: 4/10 Dry to the core. Still has some flexibility so it's not totally dead, but it's way past it's prime.
Smell Intensity: 4/10 A slight sweet fruity smell barely makes it out of a floral/borderline hay smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Smokes better than it looks, relatively smooth but burns hot because of how dry it is.
Burn 9/10 Almost white
Taste Intensity: 6/10 Doesn't have much terps coming through, very generic smoke
Taste Complexity: 5/10 Tiny hints of the fruit in the nose come through, but it's like once every 5 puffs. Really not much to look at here.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Fairly week buzz, felt like a balanced hybrid, didn't last long.
Price: 195/OZ paid 140 bulk
Value: I wouldn't be trilled paying 100$ for an OZ of this. I've had much better.
'A' Scale Rating: AA
Notes: The dryness kills this one before it's even in the race.

Also got 1.5OZ of Charlie Sheen and 1OZ of Pre-98 Bubba which are on par with that I already reviewed just a few weeks ago (same batche). Here are pics, but I won't be reviewing again:
