Hi everyone -
I just got back from a bay-area dispensary crawl to survey what's out there, and where my homegrown would rank on the shelf....
I stopped in san jose for flowers and clones:
- imedz - bought a pair of cherry pie clones and pair of GSC clones, gram of 'thin mint cookies' produced a seed! This place was pretty cool - my first time there. I liked the single patient counters, opposed to the walmart lines at harborside and green door. The quality looked/smelled good but smoked about 8/10. Not overly impressed for a $20 gram, but the seed will ultimately decide if that was a total loss ;)
- Elemental Welness - This was also my first time there, I went mostly because I could view their menu online and they looked stocked with clones, plus they house a few medical cup award winners. I bought two grams (yogi diesel and true og) and 2 clones (romulan X grapefruit and blueberry X sour diesel). They also gave me an option for a new member gift, I got another clone romulan clone. The smoke on both these grams was dissapointing. Hydro for the masses.....
San Francisco:
- The Green Door - I was told by my friend that this place has good cookies for reference, but likely no clones. He was right on! Very good girl scout cookies, even though it was hydro, it was pretty good. I paid $35/8th on special - but i the hassle of getting to the mission was a bitch.
Oakland/Berkeley
- Harborside looking for some specific clones, and to bitch about getting jumbled clones last year (yes, i'm that person). They were out of DHN platinum cookies and couldn't tell me much about their vendor the jack herer surfaced from, so I left empty handed.
- Berkeley club on Telegraph? This place had some durban poison in house but no clones of any sort. The gram of durban was methol goodness and an outstanding high, as all durban should smoke.
The highlight of the trip:
- Sweet Baby Jane Organics - this place is a delivery only service. I was reading some reviews and this one was well reviewed. I ordered some assorted flowers and everything was outstanding. Talk about organic - this stuff stood out big time compared to anything I saw on the entire trip. I gave the service the freedom to sell me a "$150 sack of their best flowers". I ended up with Muskberry, Babypoo, and Bubbaliscious. All of these strains were HIGH QUALITY, lots of resin, cured to perfection, They arrived in an air tight jar and the smell was berry tropical sweetness to the max. I called back immediately and inquired about genetics. The dispensary said they only had some teens of 'berner's original girl scout cookies" and a strain called candy bomb. i asked if they were verified and he just laughed at me, said he wouldnt sell anything that they didnt stand behind. I snatched them both up and keeping my fingers crossed.
Back home I have Seedism Diesel and Alphakronik's Belka (
707 headband x Spacequeen) seedlings, but I'm planning on running the new clones/teens before the seedlings. I'll let you know in february....
Keep it green everyone.
