I recovered from the latest covid/flu/whatever and got back on LB just in time for Bulldog’s latest grow. ‘Amnesia Flash’ by Anesia Seeds, the same company behind Druid’s Magic’s last grows which were so well received. I tried DM’s Dankberry and Frozen Black Cherry and I think there are definite similarities between those grows and this one.
PREMIUM:
Very nice looking medium-sized buds (up to 2g), tight, dense and heavy. Slightly squashed due to top level stealth. Professionally manicured and coated with fine crystals - some sparkly, glassy-looking patches where the trichomes have squashed together against the stealth, very attractive 😊. Fresh and still slightly tacky inside. Smell has high notes of pine and citrus against a dank, earthy background. Smokes very smoothly. The taste - like DM’s recent grows - isn’t bold or flavourful, it's more a subtle sour citrus/grapefruit flavour and a faint skunkiness. It’s a different taste but still pleasant. The high (again, like the DM crops) is very special and refreshingly different. From the name I’d expected a sativa and was pleasantly surprised to see that it’s actually a 70% indica, much more to my taste! But, for me and my smoking buddy, there’s still definitely something of an initial sativa hit in this smoke! We’ve had a couple of days smoking this exclusively and the first few spliffs on both days gave us energetic tingles in the head and down through the body, and a slight increase in head chatter, effects I’d normally associate with a strong sativa. First effects include a slight rushiness and mild euphoria. It gives a bright, creative feeling with clarity of thought and it’s a positive, ‘up’ high, happy and sociable. Those first effects quickly calm into a very nice, mellow and relaxing body stone whilst still being sociable, and we both experienced nice, rolling waves of brightness, good humour and mild euphoria.
With more smokes, the rushy/euphoric aspects melt away and the mellowness and body relaxation grows, making it more what you’d expect from a 70% indica. It’s a very clean high and definitely stronger than I expected, and again comparable to the DM grows. I’ve a decent tolerance and I’m seeing it as more of an evening/night smoke - it’s a lovely, strong smoke for the daytime too, you can still be ‘functional’ on it but I certainly wouldn't be able to hide that I was on it, especially with those initial sativa-like effects! My ability to speak coherently seems to go out the window nowadays when I’m on sativas! This indica hits very differently to the 70% indicas I’m used to and it’s a very nice, refreshing change. I’m still learning and I’ve enjoyed having my expectations turned on their heads by this excellent, top quality smoke!
BUDGET (the best value item on LB?!!):
Obviously very similar to the premium 😉. The buds aren’t as well-formed but they’re still dense and heavy, there’s nothing scraggly and no stalks. The manicure, as you’d expect, is not quite as tight but it’s only tiny leaves that remain and they have crystals. And, for a budget item, these buds are big! It’s very hard to find anything smaller than my thumbnail, with some buds being similar in size to the premium buds (with a few up to 1g). I haven’t had enough of it to be sure but it seems a little less strong than the premium, with less of the initial sativa-type effects. It’s still an excellent smoke, though, and absolutely amazing at this price. It’s definitely the best value for money item I’ve seen on LB, working out at around only £90 an oz! I know many people, myself included, who’ve paid a lot more for smoke that’s nowhere near this level of quality. FFS, there’s trim selling for more than this on LB! Bulldog obviously knows that he could sell these ‘budget buds’ for close to twice the price, and the fact that he doesn’t reflects his ethics and whole approach here on LB.
There’s a very high standard of care and professionalism in how BB approaches his business, from the grow through to his detailed and honest descriptions, his comms, and packaging and stealth (with the stealth being by far the best I’ve had through LB). Attention to detail from start to finish, and just ‘doing the job right’ - everything’s of the highest quality without posing, affectations or ego. It seems that BB’s very much about ‘keeping it ‘real’, and I love that a vendor who’s had to put up with so many trolls on here has stuck with it. He demonstrates his growing skills and experience - and the way he thinks things should be done - by popping up occasionally and dropping these excellent grows at amazing prices, like a fucking boss! 😂
The premium and budget are both very highly recommended. Cheers and thanks to you, BB 🙏👍👍👍
