OZ Kush—Wonderbrett, CA, winter 2024

Published

on


98 points out of 100

Price: $60/eighth

People always ask us what’s our favorite type of weed. I’ll come clean here: We love crosses of OG Kush to Z. The OG improves Z’s density and potency, while the Z adds more layers of tropical fruit flavor to OG’s lemony, piney fuel. And I don’t know that anyone grows OZ Kush better for the rec market in 2024 than Brett ‘Wonderbrett‘ Feldman in LA.

Wonderbrett was an early believer in Dying Breed SeedsOZ Kush. He bought and popped a bunch of packs, and found a keeper. His massive indoor facility has OZ Kush dialed. The nugs are ample, green, dense, a little spongy, and sandy with trichomes. The OZ Kush smell explodes from the jar, and gets even louder in a grinder, or in a dry hit from a joint. It carries over to the taste, with a hybrid effect that works morning, noon and night. It’s hard to improve from here. The only thing to work on is more bling.

Biskante—Alien Labs, California, fall 2024

Published

on

By


95 points out of 100

Price: $55/eighth but varies

Top-shelf California brand Alien Labs powers into the fall and winter season with undeniably awesome indoor Biskante—one of their core strains.

Biskante is a cross of Melonade x Biscotti. It brings together Lemon Tree, Original Z, and the cookies strain Biscotti into one package. You get the lemon and tropical candy but also the gassy back of the Biscotti.

The nugs are on the average size, but we aren’t complaining. Those Z x cookie terps jump out of the jar and the bud is perfectly dried and cured. Biskante leans a tad sativa, the jar says. The tropical lemon and watermelon really comes out on the smoke. This is some splurge smoke to enjoy life with.

Moonbow—Flora and Flame, California, fall 2024

Published

on

By


89 points out of 100

Price: $50/eighth but varies

We’re always keeping an eye out for good Moonbows. Archive Seeds crossed the Z to the Dosi for this more robust candy-gas strain.

Oakland, CA indoor flower growers Flora and Flame show off a very good version that approaches outstanding. A muted Smarties candy smell greets you in the bag. The nugs are on the small side, but a gorgeous light green. It was well-dried, and cured, without much in the way of stickiness. Grinding boosts the sweet, pleasant terps, but we wanted even more. It smoked very potent with a lime, pine, and grass finish.

Suggested activity pairing for this hybrid: a sunny fall hike, some yoga, listening to records, and gardening.

Watermelon Marker—Yellowthumb, CA, fall 2024

Published

on

By


90 points out of 100

Price: $55/eighth but varies

Few strains have captured the flavor of fresh watermelon on a summer day like Watermelon Marker. This collaboration started with grower Yellowthumb asking a favor of breeder First Class Genetics (of The Menthol and Khalifa Mints fame) to cross Yellowthumb’s Bolo Runtz cut to Seed Junky’s Permanent Marker (Leafly Strain of the Year 2023). One 60-seed hunt later, Yellowthumb has ended up with Blueberry Bolo (#41), Crack Bolo (#17), Watermelon Marker (#39), Bubblegum Marker (#12) and a sixth unreleased #46.

All have remarkably different flavor profiles such as Zalympix entry Blueberry Bolo’s wildberry slushie over gasoline nose, and noticeable differences in effect like the way.

Watermelon Marker flower smells almost like a fresh piece of Extra Watermelon gum and the ash is bone white; maximum flavor saturation and minimum background noise. These characteristics are to be expected from anything that gets a seal of approval from powerhouse promoter Doja, but the prices this strain would go for also make it an excellent value for consumers.

Watermelon Marker offers an excellent variation on a new champion. —Max Blickstein
