Aliens On Moonshine

5/20/2017
Whoa! There's finally a Leafly page for this one. A favorite. The stuff grown by Cascade Gnome here in WA could be my all-around favorite flower ever in over 20 years. Just perfectly balanced, not trippy, overflowing with terpenes from every direction. Not a heady high but not just a heavy indica sink either. You can certainly get quite a effect going but it takes more of this than many other, and that's good in my opinion. Easier to coast and allows you to have more of this delicious flower. The best of all worlds in my opinion. But again, this could largely be just a review of Cascade Gnome's beautiful growing as I've had the same strain from other growers and it does live up to my respect of this one. They've really done it perfectly.

Fantastic stuff. Very different. The flower I bought was not the normal super dominant CBD variety but nearly a 1:1 ratio just slightly favoring CBD (6.05%THC / 8.66%CBD), but it is the most even, and cruisy hybrid feeling ever. There is most certainly a high, but its a gentle head and body massaage combined with the relaxation of the CBD high. It's a light tickle all around - super balanced. Much more of a fan than I thought I'd be. Not super long-lived... a couple hours or so. This was bought from Herbal Nation in Bothell, WA .... and grown by Puffin Farms (a new fav grower). The terpenes are awesome and potent on these nugs. Berry, bubblegum, juicy, piney. Very pronounced and the taste is great. Great strain.

Beautiful looking. I'd rate a 3.5 but rounding up. Nugs I have are Phat Panda grown - not sure what their growing methods are - nugs are very very small, but dense and covered in tricomes., and literally half the leaves are solid purple - some nugs nearly all, some mostly green. Gorgeous, even if so small. Grinds to a nice fluffy but slightly spongy - e.g. perfect. Aroma is sweeeeeeeeet. Ultra berry with tiny bit of skunk and/or hoppiness. There's a forest of smell in it, but the berry-candy sweet comes through strongest. Effects for me are bizarre - like an indica that sits "high" is how I think of it - e.g. there'a tingle that pulls you up rather than down. It's great. Behind the eyes and through the head. Quite a bit of focus left, zoned and not all that sleepy, but not shifty or anxious either. About 10 minutes in I had a bit of uneasiness, but it passed quickly (update below). I would say - be wary of smoking too much of this delicious little beast. I chased it 10 min later with some CBD bud (little-to-no THC Sour Tsunami) and was coasting from there. Really nice. Just really, really nice stuff. Would definitely like to try another grower's version as well. Update: not sure what it is but this Phat Panda stuff made me ultra paranoid on the second session a day later. Didn't have any more than previously but it tweaked me to high hell. Be careful with it and go slow. Set and setting and all that.

I may up this rating but overall I give it a 3.5, at least the Dama grown stuff I picked up today (I really don't like their blister-wrap packaging by the way) - it was rather fluffy overall for this price. The Blueberry aroma was really, really muted - not what I remember the "true" Blueberry to be at all. I was expecting a lot, given the reason this strain exists, because the old Blueberry *was* "a lot" - a lot of every kind of awesome. Perhaps the Dama-grow pheno didn't bring it out as it should. I"ll try another grower. Any other flower name and I'd rate this a tick higher - because it's really good weed - a nice level indica that is smooth and light enough not to just relegate you to napping, but with all the hype around it I was a bit let down. Still remember my first 3 bags of Blueberry in 90s - this ain't that.

Have a Heart - Greenwood

5/22/2016
I"ve been in 3 times now and (and a couple times into the Fremont location, but Greenwood is a regular stop for me) the tenders have been super friendly and knowledgeable even when it gets busy. Fairly large, and definitely quality selection. 3 of my staples come from here. My real complaint would be the place is a tad bit sterile feeling which isn't helped by the *very* dim lighting in this location. Some additional, and warmer, lighting would be nice as it just feels a bit cold. This spot was a smalll dance club off and on for years and years and it needs to shake that vibe still. :) One of my favorite shops nearby overall.

Aliens on Moonshine

5/3/2016
This is fantastic - a newer hybrid cross between Sour Alien and White Moonshine. Ours was from the Cascade Gnome growers and just as well grown and manicured as their norm. This that we got has a very high CBD content. Ben told us of this particular crop: "It has a 1:2 THC:CBD ratio, usually 5%THC : 11%CBD, or so. Also, it's a genetic outlier - all the other phenos are high thc. That means that it has a regular flavor profile (sweet/skunky with some must) in addition to the cannabinoid ratio. It is very high in Myrcene." This Could be a new favorite for chill or leisure times! Fantasssssstic smell and taste. Skunky and grapefruit dominate with a bit of an herbal/woody scent. Fairly quick head-high, followed by a slower onset body chill. Focus become clearer about 40 minutes in. Really great mix. I'm prone to anxiety and this stuff is great - really great. I believe the strain leans indica but I am not positive - you can check the parentage - it's deep. Overall will probably become a go-to, as well as Cascade Gnome's stuff in general. Update: This has become a go-to. My overall favorite these days.

Sage and Sour

Awesome stuff. I've only tried a (very) high CBD variety by Cascade Gnome here which smell mind blowingly good - strong citrus piney goodness. I've never seen/heard of this strain with such a strong CBD content (CBD 15% / THC 0.8%) so it's a virtual zero head high but just enough to relax and stay focused even after several bowls... which I love because it tastes/smells so good, I'm happy to continue smoking it without being floored or ceilinged. Tiny bit of couch potential and a bit of fog but really easy to shake off and get active. Also makes me sleep like a baby, without thickheadedness in the morning. Huge fan - hope I can find this one again. May try the normal variety.
