Im going to call this a sativa leaning(60/40) "hybrid" as its not a wake and bake terpene profile. Mine was 30% THCA flower and had terpinolene taste plus a sweet flavor in addition. Trulieve calls it a "sativa" but its not an AM strain. I is a relaxing, potent strain an will put you in a euphoric state followed by good body relaxation. You don't use this strain if you plan on hiking as its not energizing, but its a nice strain for afternoon or evening to take the edge off.
tried this one from grow healthy yesterday in the AM. Definitely clear headed, pretty good for activity around the house. The "big headed" feeling is prominent initially. It was a little "edgy", low level anxiousness. Flower was a large ~3.5g, not super dense but obviously loaded with THCA(25.8% as THC). Terpenes were obviously present with a floral scent, the flower was not overdried. I put it in humidor pack 62% overnight to bring out the smell. I used a arizer solo 2 vaporizer to get the maximum terpene effect(ignition burns most(2/3) of the terpenes). I have strains I like better for terpene profile but I cant argue with the quality of the flower, very nice.
Sour diesel is a favorite but this strain has an extra clarity, a focus that sets it above. The flavor is also more herbal and spicy, less citrus than sour diesel. Sage and Sour is one of the best daytime strains in my book. I do think there is variation in phenotypes and the really dense bud types are not as uplifting/stimulating as the loosely formed bud types just like the same variations in the classic sour diesel.
Great strain for daytime, though yes at 2hrs there is a bit of a crash in energy. Nice focus, clear headed, relaxed, creative support, this one is a keeper if you're not trying to get stupid. I can taste and feel the near immediate relaxing terpinolene effects and this particular flower was 29% THCA with small very dense hugs, very well grown. Nugs are very dense, It might actually be 29% THCA, though its hard to trust potency here in florida as there is obvious "potency inflation" in lab results in some dispensaries, deja vu with the west coast a few years ago with the fake high potency. This flower doesnt have you questioning potency at all, it hits right aaway and the vape bowls in my solo 2 and mighty last a long time, 2x as long as some others, a sure sign of high potency. Roll it up and it burns nice and slow, like the real hi po.
Great strain with nice dense nugs at trulieve. When grown to maturity, 25% potency, and they do that when they grow it out(this particular one is 25%). I have purchased this strain when available for more than a year at trulieve and they do have terpene reports on like for customers, though the new lab(ACS) misses many minor but still important terpenes unike EVIO. Uplifting, clear headed, euphoric buzz that after 2 hrs will have you a bit low on energy. Its not a particularly energetic sativa buzz like the shrieker or mango haze, its a bit more relaxed especially after 2 hrs. This strain is an old time contest winner that is a must try, its is a nice strain almost any time, night or day as long as you can accept the 2hr slowdown.
I gave it a '5' because its one of the best alpha pinene dominant(#1 in terpene abundance) strains out there and alpha pinene dominant strains are rare. No one knows the genetics but its bred in israel and seed is not available. The flowers were not dense, but not sparse like a true haze, but they exhibit a notable sweet piney fragrance. The alpha pinene is obvious in smell and in its great taste. The alpha pinene brings its own uplifting effects and beta ocimene is also present at significant levels for even more mental energy. There are some other strains are high in alpha pinene (as 2nd or 3rd most prevalent terpene) including strawberry cough, strawberry switchblade, blue dream, strawberry ice but this one is amazing in its pinene effects, they are on another level and it makes this strain more daytime suitable than those. I got a 20% discount so at $40 for 1/8th @ vidacann, so the price was reasonable. Some cannabis has such a big terpene effect that you don't even ask how potent it is. This is probably at or below 20% THCA based on tactile feel(not too sticky in fingers), but it has more potent effects than many 25% and higher strains I have tried recently. Because it is alpha pinene dominant, get it the day or two after it hits the shelves for best effects. Alpha pinene is a low boiler so it will dissipate in storage faster than some other strains. I always want an alpha pinene dominant strain in my choices for medicating, and this one is one of the best I have tried.
its not "sativa dominant" if you think that means energy and no couchlock. It is a sedating strain, smells and smokes great but... "energize" description is not explicable from the entourage effects. It is a nice flower and at 29% THCA its potent, but its not energizing. I'd say its moderately sedating and offers a head buzz and some pain relief(arthritis). I moved Phone home to my PM list.
"tangie n cream" grown and preserved to a nice nose, only good tangie strain in FL that I have seen. It smells just like the original santa cruz outdoor tangie which I am very familiar with having lived in CA for 7 years. As a new strain for me, I approve, excellent! Other offering are more indica leaning, more sedative and I may get around to trying more of them. Flower quality of the tangie n cream was excellent. service was excellent and staff was very nice. I would have given 5 stars for quality but I have the top CA flower as my benchmark 5 star. In florida they are certainly near a 5 star for that tangie n cream.
Likes: Mango Haze and sourP are both nice stains, I am a repeat buyer of both at liberty. Even though the spur P was 17% in potency it was a very nice flower with excellent entourage effects of relaxation but not sedation and euphoria of the the sour D parent, very nice. the mango haze was more potent at 21.7% and had a great wake and bake entourage effect: clear headed, uplifting, with mental energy needed at that time of day. Generally this dispensary doesnt have as high a %THC on their strains, but as you will find if you havent already, flower is about the entourage effcts of terpenes and here liberty gets it right. Liberty is also cheaper per 1/8th mitigating a few % lower potency. If you want high potency go for an oil or wax, not a flower. The difference between oil and wax and flower is the terpene profile and its natural delivery when vaped or smoked.
I move to FL from california whre the selection is much more extensive. I have sampled a few hundred strains and a lot of those were just so-so, that is why they have the cannabis cup to find the best entourage effects of hundreds of strains. Over the last 2 months, I was only able to find one "sativa" leaning strain, that is a wake and bake nonsedative strain, strawberry cough, SC. It was was quite tasty with nice pinene and fruity aroma and uplifting effects without sedation. The rest of the strains were sedative leaning, no wake and bake, except the strawberry cough. The "hybrid" claims of the "ghost toast" and some other strains are misleading as they are all sedative to some significant degree. Good thing is there are 3 other dispensaries nearby to investigate to get that "wake and bake" strain if you want it. Their strain selection include NONE of the all time great strains except save SC. If they wanted a newer wake and bake or daytime strain there are some great ones like vortex nd mohito out there. But alas no daytime even was available. Every new strain growers cross isn't "great", or even good, but there are lots of experiments there. I prefer king louis 13 to their cross with dosi, king dosi, but that strain still has enough "King Louie" in it to be a decent strain, either parent(king louie or dosi do) is a notably better strain IMO. There is an old saying, when it aint broke, dont fix it. Vidacann does understand that glass containers are definitely the best for storage, but the inner lids are plastic(eek!)!. For me I'll check the website periodically for something I recognize as most of the experimental strains are not that great in the "entourage effect". But they rank last(of 4) in the bradenton area for "wake and bake" or "daytime" strains in my book. Even the indica leaning strains are not that great, some are good but not great.
