As the month of March passes us by along with winters 4-7, we prepare for April and hopefully a proper taste of spring!! Thankfully, we had some great flower in the store to hunker down with for winter’s last hurrahs.
This month’s Flower Report starts at the top with Celebrity Cannabis’ Raptors RNTZ 3.5g Indica flower. This is the first strain on the Canadian legal market to state 40.1% THC on the packaging! Outside of being very potent with a solid RNTZ flavour profile, this strain attracted LOTS of attention both in store and online! I’m not going to lie, I was honestly questioning how a dried flower product can have more THC than a good number of concentrates (hash) I’ve seen. Crack open a bag, take a smell and you’re blasted with sweet earthy, gassy goodness with a hit of citrus for good measure. Visually, this flower is striking. The intense trichome coverage allows for just enough of the bright green bracts and orange pistils to show through this gallery worthy piece of cannabis. The post harvest work done by the growers for Celebrity cannabis deserve some applause for their diligent work curing, trimming and packaging this flower as there is no trace of any unwanted material in the packages. A cross of Seed Junky’s Animal Mints and the RNTZ strains, consumers of this flower can expect this flower to pack a flavour filled, hard hitting punch. For the sake of transparency (read: honesty), the 40.1% THC value stated on the bags of this flower drew lots of attention on Instagram comment threads, reddit threads and other online safe places from people questioning the validity of these values. Someone furnished an independent testing facility a retail sample to re-test the Celebrity flower and let’s just say the test results didn’t quite match up (the results exist somewhere online). There are too many variables at play to question how a Licensed Producer arrives at the published testing results, but suffice it to say, at the end of the day, this is very strong, potent cannabis flower worth a try whether you believe what’s printed on the packaging or not.
On the Sativa side of things, March saw the crew over at 1964 Supply Co. bring back a blast from the past with their Organic Super Lemon Haze 3.5g Sativa flower. This classic (and originally) Dutch strain brings together two sativa powerhouses, Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze for this Haze forward, well expressed sativa flower. Featuring a slightly less common terpene array, this flower features terpinolene, caryophyllene, farnesene and ocimene as the dominant terpenes. This cocktail of terpenes produces an earthy, spicy and citrusy profile of flavours with a focus on the earthy and spicy and a bit less on the citrusy. Consumers of this flower can expect a textbook sativa experience perfect for household chores and tasks, higher energy social settings, creative bursts and focus. If you’re on the lookout for a good, high quality true sativa at a fair price you really need to consider the 1964 Supply Co. Organic Super Lemon Haze 3.5g Sativa flower.
We also saw a few new additions to our 28g offerings in March. This month we brought in additional selections from The Original Fraser Valley Weed Co. featuring their MAC-1, BC Sour Kush and Donny Burger ounces. These value priced hybrid ounces come in under $100 before tax and boast potency ranges from 18%-24% THC making them great choices for value conscious bulk purchases.
In other Bulk news, the latest 14g Slime Bag release from Ghost Drops featured their delicious King Sherb flower, a heavy hitting Indica dominant flower. Keep your eye for these when they hit our store because they don’t ever seem to last very long in our stock room. I personally missed out on these but from the bag feel alone, I know I missed out on something special 
.
We also saw some new craft offerings from newcomers All Nations and their Modified Grapes 3.5g Indica flower, Terp Town Collective’s Chunk Dawg 3.5g Indica flower and Dom Jackson’s Oreoz 3.5g Hybrid flower. All three of these new menu additions packed a heavy punch and some complex flavour profiles. If you find yourself looking for a something new and interesting, check these and our other craft offerings for the latest flavours and highs from the Canadian legal market.
As we brace for the arrival of spring and the inevitable new product drops, stay tuned for more flower reports and reviews. We’ll do our best to cover as many new strains and products as we can, but if there’s something out there we missed or there’s something you’re curious about, hit us up on our socials links (links at the bottom right) or here at our info@shopthegood.ca email and let us know!
