Mango Ghani - Farm to Med Review

Image
       Mango Ghani – Review      Sourced from Farm to Med as part of their Monday “ Smalls ” special, Mango Ghani stands out as a budget-friendly indica that still delivers a strong, full-bodied experience. With roots tracing back to Afghani landrace strains, this cut packs the type of classic, couch-locking punch that nighttime smokers and hash heads will appreciate.      Aroma & Appearance      As soon as the jar opens, Mango Ghani gives off a strong, pungent aroma dominated by earthy richness with subtle sweet notes in the background. It’s powerful without being overwhelming, and it has that hashy, almost musky quality typical of heavy indicas. The buds are dense and small, trimmed tightly and cured well — especially considering the price point. You’ll notice a soft layer of trichomes that makes the green tones pop, with light and dark greens blending across the nug without the distraction of orange pistils. ...

Mango Mentality - The Flower Shop Review

Image
       Mango Mentality       The name says it all: Mango Mentality hits with that tropical fruit vibe and a clear state of mind. This batch from The Flower Shop clocks in at a strong 29% THC , packed into dense, one-gram-sized nugs that pull weight—and flavor. It leans just a touch sativa, offering uplifted mental clarity with no sluggishness, making it a great choice for social moments or outdoor vibes. At $12 per gram , it’s priced a bit higher than average, but the bright, gassy aroma and energetic high make it worth considering for value seekers.      Bag Appeal & Structure      These nugs are rock-solid and dense—snap one open, and you’ve got an entire gram in just half. They’re coated in visible trichomes, deep green with orange pistils, and feel well-cured and sticky. The high-density structure speaks to great growing conditions, and it’s the kind of flower that looks just as good rolled as it does ...

Khalifa Kush - The Flower Shop Review

Image
       Khalifa Kush – The Flower Shop (26% THC)      Every so often, a strain with deep legacy status rolls back around with a fresh cut worth talking about — and this week, it’s Khalifa Kush , picked up from The Flower Shop here in Chattanooga. At $12 a gram , it’s priced a bit above average, but this particular batch is testing at 26% THC and offers a uniquely rich and complex flavor and aroma. This is the kind of flower that commands attention right out of the jar — both for its pungent nose and for the smooth, classic kush smoking experience.      Smell & Taste      Khalifa Kush hits the nose with a diesel-heavy punch , rounded out by light pepper and subtle lemon citrus notes. It’s unmistakably kush, but with a sharp, almost tangy twist that sets it apart. What stood out most was how fresh and loud this cut is — nothing muted or stale about it. The flavor leans more into the spice and pepper territory, es...

Modern Herb Co. Pod System – Gelato Liquid Diamond Review

Image
       Modern Herb Co. Pod System – Gelato Liquid Diamond Review (Sourced from Topo Cannabis)      Stepping slightly outside the usual flower and concentrate reviews, today we’re checking out a THCa live resin pod system from Modern Herb Co. , sourced locally from Topo Cannabis . Known for crafting clean, potent THCa products , Modern Herb Co. keeps it simple: plant-derived terpenes , THCa resin , and in this case,  liquid diamonds packed into a 2g Gelato pod . I picked up the starter kit  — and after putting it through some heavy daily testing, I can confidently say this system is worth a look.      Hardware & Experience      The pod system itself is one of the biggest highlights. No leaks , strong airflow , and a battery that easily lasts all day — this feels closer to a high-end e-cig setup than a typical disposable cart. The magnetic pod swap design makes it easy to switch strains mid-session, and...

Banana Fire Breathe - Farm to Med Review

Image
       Banana Fire Breath – Strain Review (Farm to Med)      This week we’re checking out a potent and flavorful hybrid called Banana Fire Breath , sourced from Farm to Med . A cross of OGKB 2  and Banana OG , this strain blends dessert-like sweetness with deep gas and earth tones , creating a uniquely funky, fuel-forward experience. Known in the grow world for its hash potential , terp variety , and strong yields , Banana Fire Breath has earned a place among sedative hybrids with a bite. With this cut, I found a delicious smoke, a soothing high, and only one real complaint: the trim could have been tighter . Let’s get into it.      Taste & Aroma      This strain brings one of the more complex and satisfying terp profiles I’ve tried in a while. The nose out of the jar mixes overripe banana , rich earthy kush , and sharp fuel —a funky-sweet aroma that hints at the OG lineage beneath the fruit. On the inhale , ...

Dark Queen - Farm To Med Review

Image
       Dark Queen       This week we’re checking out a standout hybrid from Farm to Med called Dark Queen , a cross between the ever-popular Runtz and the lesser-known but potent Queen of the South . Known for its bold terpene profile and balanced effects, this flower comes in at $10 a gram , but right now it’s on special for $35 for 7g , making it one of the better value pickups in town. With its striking aroma and heavy-hitting high, Dark Queen earns its crown in more ways than one. Taste & Smell      The aroma on this strain is seriously something to behold — as soon as the jar opens, it fills the room with a thick wave of sweet mixed berries wrapped in a heavy, fuel-soaked finish . It’s about 70% fruity and 30% gassy, but they’re blended so evenly it comes across as one unified, pungent punch. On the palate , the gas comes through stronger during the smoke, but that subtle berry note lingers on the back end. The flavo...

Sub Zero Live Rosin Review - Top Shelf Bud

Image
       Sub Zero       We’re wrapping up our current rosin series with what may be the best of the bunch — Sub Zero , a live rosin concentrate sourced from Top Shelf Bud Dispensary for $50 a gram . Compared to the two previously reviewed strains, this one immediately stands out in every category. From its rich aroma and syrupy texture to its ultra-clean melt and long-lasting flavor , Sub Zero delivers on both quality and experience. If the last few rosins were solid, this one feels like a refined step up — possibly due to better curing or higher-quality starting material. Let’s break it down.      Taste & Smell      Straight out of the jar, Sub Zero hits the nose with dense, rich terps — sharp citrus and deep gas layered over a warm, almost fudge-like pungency that speaks to its potency. It smells loud, sticky, and fresh. Once dabbed at low temps, that citrus-gas combo translates perfectly into flavor , c...
