Sub Zero Review- Top Shelf

     Sub Zero


    Sub Zero is an indica-dominant hybrid from Top Shelf Dispensary, priced at a very fair $10 a gram. A cross of Oreoz x Super Boof, this strain stands out right away with its bold bag appeal and a rich terpene profile led by Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene. Expect sweet candy and cherry notes on the nose, with relaxing, mood-lifting effects on the back end. In this review, we’ll break down the taste and smell, dive into the terpene profile and effects, and give a close look at the bag appeal to help you decide if Sub Zero deserves a spot in your stash.



    Effects/Terpenes

    Sub Zero brings a rich terpene profile led by Caryophyllene, Myrcene, and Limonene, a trio often associated with calming, anti-inflammatory, and mood-elevating effects. For me personally, this strain stood out most for its uplifting quality and its ability to reduce my bouts of nausea related to epilepsy. It created a clean-headed sense of relief without being too sedative, making it versatile for either daytime or early evening use. The effects came on smoothly and built into a comfortable balance of mental clarity and body calm.

Taste & Smell

    The aroma on Sub Zero is immediately fruit-forward and sweet, with clear notes of candy and cherry that hit as soon as you crack open the jar. After combustion, the flavor really holds — one of the rare strains where the smoke tastes almost identical to how it smells. It reminded me of certain cuts of Trop Cherry, with that same bright, almost juicy finish. The lingering sweetness makes it a great pick for flavor chasers.

Bag Appeal & Price

From a visual standpoint, this is a showstopper bud. The structure is tight and dense, with excellent trichome coverage and a high-quality trim that shows attention to detail. It’s been cured well, with a slightly tacky texture that breaks up easily. The ash burns clean and white, backing up that the flower was flushed and handled with care. At just $10 a gram from Top Shelf, this strain feels like a steal, especially considering the look, smoke, and effect.


Cosmetic: 9.4/10  - Sub Zero stands out visually with expertly trimmed, dense buds and a frosty coating of trichomes that immediately signals quality. The structure is near-perfect and clearly handled with care from cure to shelf — impressive for any flower, but especially at this price point.


Flavor/Smell: 9.3/10  - Sweet, fruity, and candy-like on both the nose and the palate, this strain delivers a sensory experience that rivals boutique-level cuts. The flavor lingers well after the exhale and closely mirrors the smell, which is rare and worth noting for terpene lovers.


Effects: 9.0  - Offering a smooth, uplifting high that helped ease nausea while keeping me mentally present, Sub Zero’s effects are both functional and therapeutic. It’s a balanced indica-leaning hybrid that suits a range of use cases, from relaxation to symptom relief.


Overall Score 9.2/10

Farm To Med Review: "Blueberries"

Image
    Blueberries! Imagine breaking open a beautiful round nug while being met with a medley of subtle fruit smells and light gassy notes. This offering from Farm To Med is a bag appeal monster with noticeably well developed trichomes! Its large nug structure and varying shades of green with orange hairs made Blueberries a must try for me. It's a huge added bonus that this flower is not shipped in but is instead grown fresh here in Tennessee! This strain advertises as a hybrid 50/50 yet I personally feel that it leans more towards the indica side.      My first impression of this strain was how well developed the trichomes are, even with the naked eye you can see hundreds of fully bulbed trich's covering the nugs from tip to stem. I also noticed in my review that the smell on this strain is very unique, offering a fruity/sweet scent that is distinctive to a handful of fruity strains I have tested, something to try for sure. This cut of blueberries was a dry brittl...

Snapdragon Review - Dark Matter

Image
       Dark Matter      This strain is quickly rocketing to the top of my favorites list. Dark Matter , from Snapdragon Hemp , is a unique cross between Cherry Thunderfuck and Rusty Haze —two distinct genetics that come together beautifully in this cut.      A hybrid that leans indica, Dark Matter owes much of its relaxing effect to a heavy dose of myrcene —a terpene often linked to that classic “couch-lock” sensation.      Crack open the jar, stir a bit, and you're greeted with an out-of-this-world nose: sharp, gassy cherries that hit you right away. It’s a wild and wonderful terpene combo that sets the tone before you even reach for your torch.     Myrcene!           What really sets Dark Matter apart is its terpene profile—especially its high myrcene content . Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis and is known for its musky, earthy aroma and deeply...

SnapDragon Review - Rainbow Runtz

Image
      Rainbow Runtz                Rainbow Runtz is a hybrid strain that brings together two heavy hitters: Dosi Dos and Zkittlez . Picked up from Snapdragon Hemp , this resin immediately stands out with its golden, slightly crumbly texture that’s easy to work with and very appealing.      Terpene-wise, this strain leans into a calming profile rich in myrcene , limonene , and caryophyllene —a trio known for their relaxing, mood-lifting, and slightly spicy effects. The nose and flavor both lean closer to the Dosi Dos side of its lineage, with an  earthy aroma and a doughy taste  that lingers on the exhale.      Terps & Texture    With a mix of  myrcene , limonene , and a touch of caryophyllene , this blend brings on a deeply relaxing and mellow experience. The myrcene comes through loudest for me—ushering in that classic body calm, almost like a weighted blanket o...
