Forgot to mention when we were at Blüm, we asked if they had any Matrix product there, and they didn't have any at that moment, but everyone behind the counter were big fans and personal users of the matrix pens and oils, at least 2 of them had one in their pocket at the time.
ya thats just Ontario, the federal government is allowing the provinces to decide how the "medicine" will be distributed the west will be much different than the uptight idiots over there. but we will see next year how it all comes together. from what the federal government still says it is a go.
Just spent the last wk in the mountains of South Lake Tahoe. (Highly recommend, not just for skiing.) I reached out to vegas for some tips, and his direction was obv right in point.
One disp in Reno was cleared out of matrix flower, but a 2nd was stocked, and I selected the Do Si Dos based on some chatting with the dealer.
Mildly spicy flavor, high but-not-insanely-high thc%, perfectly cured, perfectly balanced (terp profile). Just a superb smoke, imo, ideal for communing with nature.
Kudos to producing such quality, vegas.
Thanks man. Outstanding review, even better than usual :) Do Si Dos and Tangilope were the strains that put us on the map. I have a cut of Tangilope that is ours from seed, and it's easily the best pheno on the market for that strain. The terp profile is insane. The concentrates it puts off are incredible.
Do Si Dos is a fun one. I have the same cut the Jungle Boyz run from Archive. It's highly sought after. I've had at least 3 different growers from CO offer me big money for a cut, can't give it up though. I just got the same cut of Purple Punch that JB run as well, and the real Zkittlez. Can't wait to start throwing those out. I have enough strains in house now to put out 2 new strains a month for years. All are fire. It's taken me many years to put together this bank, now it's time to put it all out there.
Is there a lot of variation with seeds from the same plant? I know that with apples you have to use cuts because the seeds are all over the place regarding the fruit they produce and because of that some of the best known brands have a line of cuttings going back 100+ years.

This place just opened downtown and claims to be the largest dispensary in the world. I'm definitely going to check it out this weekend with the missus, as we're hitting Freemont street anyway. But I'm wary of actually buying anything there, because this is on Indian land and apparently they are not subject to the same regulations as other dispensaries in the state.
Does this mean they're just growing their own shit and not testing for pesticides or whatever? Even if they're buying from 3rd parties, such as vegas1369's operation, could they get cheaper deals by buying pre-laboratory or alternative stock?
Hey Vegas, I just got this reply from my fav. dispensary and would like to get your take on it.
"We do not have Blue Dream at this time but You should never just go after the name of the strain because most important is the grower .We have plenty of skilled organic growers onboard" .
These guys are good but this reply "leaves" me wondering. Sure they have other skilled growers but it's meaningless without the proper strain.????
From my experience in Oregon and Washington dispensaries, once a top strain, Blue Dream has been bastardized to death.
Every grower has a blue dream strain now, and it seems like every shop I went to couldn’t give it away. They all looked very average, and were usually heavily discounted and “on sale”
Just got back from a trip to Humboldt. You couldn't give away Blue Dream up there.
The reason they all grow it is because it's a huge yielder and easy to grow.
All the rage in the Triangle was Do-si-dos, Gelato 33, Wedding Cake, Birthday Cake, Sapphire Kush, Moonstone Kush, Sunset Sherbet, Zkittles,and Girl Scout Cookies.
Can confirm. Blue Dream has changed for the worse at my shop too. I still like it but the nug tightness has diminished greatly. Bought a bag today anyway, but still.
What they sent you was an incredibly stupid response. So many know-it-alls in this industry that really don't know much.
The correct response to this would be "We don't have Blue Dream in stock, however we do have certain strains with a very similar cannabinoid and terpene profile".
Looking at strains in the sense of strain name, or Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid is a very basic way (and somewhat incorrect) of searching for what will work best for you. It's really all about potency and terp profile, and also finding a trusted grower. The same strain grown by 2 different growers could be very different, and also a lot of the time the person growing a certain strain has a weak cultivar of it, so it might not be as good as what you'd expect. A lot of the time a cultivator will claim a strain is something it's not as well. That's very common also, so for example, one cut of Blue Dream might be totally different from the next, or not even Blue Dream at all. When you find a strain you like look at these profiles and look for similar profiles in the dispensaries. They should be providing results like this...
Also, get familiar with each one of these terpenes and their benefits...
This is a very basic chart, but it will get you started. The more you know about terpenes and how they effect you as an individual (everyone is different to some degree) the easier it will be to find what you are looking for.
My pleasure, les.
26% thc is schizophrenia bait.
fuck outta here with that.

i mean it's nice every now and then, but i just don't like to get that high on the reg
vegas, does your company have any interest in reviving/breeding some of the long lost land-race strains?
i feel like that is prolly an ignored part of the market which could be very profitable playing to a lot of the older smokers
to go a little further, you could market to your older customers something like this:
70-80's section: could have maui wowie, acapulco gold, columbian red, thai, etc
90's: northern lights, dj short's blueberry, holland's hope, skunk #1
etc etc
i think this type of marketing would fly off the shelf for a lot of older guys just getting into the rec/medicinal game
everyone wants to smoke that shit they first smoked in junior high school again - but without the seeds and 1/g stems
edit: i know the 90's strains like blueberry or NL aren't landrace, but you get the idea as far as marketing
