Cookies grower: Quattro kush grower edition -!- HGA-!- May 2022
I was really looking forward to the Quattro Kush, but it looks, smells and tastes EXACTLY like the pre98 Bubba. The only differences are: the Quattro kush grower edition has a much worse trim job (it is severely overtrimmed) and the flower is dryer than the pre98. On the plus side, the nugs are bigger and denser (average nug is over 2g). They look, smell and taste the exact same as the pre98 Bubba. I was so excited to open the bags, but I literally smelled nothing. Vaped it, and it tasted exactly like the bowl of pre98 I just had.. Quality = 80/100 Value = 40/100 I am not sure how I feel about the last 3 orders from HGA (1 bad 1 great 1 mediocre). The mandarin cookies had hairs inside the flower (black, white, and black + white) and it smelled and tasted like chinabud (I guess that's why it is called "mandarin" cookies). I did not write a review about it because I did not want anybody to try and abuse the system, but I did see a person post a picture of the mandarin cookies and I saw hairs in their picture too (unfortunately I cannot find the review). HGA having great customer service, fixed the issue for me. The pre98 Bubba is fantastic and I am really enjoying it. The Quattro kush was a big let down. I ordered it expecting the fact that it cost 100$ more to mean it would be better flower but I find it not to be the case. Overtrimming of flower really pisses me off because that trim will be used to make concentrates, and the flower was still being sold at a premium (around 240$ before it went on sale). It makes me wonder: who overtrimmed this? Was it the grower, or did somebody decide to toss it in a tumbler along the way to double dip? I have a hard time seeing it called growers edition and then be so severely overtrimmed. Some of these nugs are completely butchered. It makes me lose confidence in the growers, and makes me question HGA: the pre98 Bubba and the Quattro kush are labeled as grown by different growers, 11 weeks mmj and cookies grower, yet they look, smell and taste identical minus the moisture level and trim job. I am not sure what is going on with HGA but the consistency does not seem to be as up to par as it used to be. I am on the fence about wanting to receive my 25$ incentive.
