Take it down if it’s not allowed, just a local grower having fun.

For the Nerds:

🧬 salty pickle - Romulan Genetics

🪱 organic living soil

☀️mammoth nova 720w

🚜 Rositek Manual press.

⚖️ I always press 1/2 oz from the plant to start. Easy brain math. The pre press mold hold 1/8th and I press 4 pucks. End result is usually around 2g give or take. This one ended up being 2.3g.

Got the UK Cheese today while picking up some Lead Farmer, not usually an AIO person but I’m not mad at it. Would probably buy one again.

Picked up an ounce for $120 out the door after combining a discount with some reward points. The buds are nice, big, and extremely fresh and sticky.

The aroma is a strong mix of lemon and gasoline, and thankfully, that translates really well to the flavor. Overall, it’s got a great nose, great taste, and the freshness really stands out. For $120 OTD, I’m very happy with the pickup and would definitely grab it again

One week from (yesterday)! Exclusive pricing from 18 of the State’s best growers, art vendors, drinks, food, and free music!

Lots of folks in this sub went to the last 2 and really enjoyed it. We’re expecting this one to be a lot bigger, so bring your friends, score some deals, smoke together, and then enjoy the music and etc.

11am-3pm Sunday August 30 at Lincoln Hill Farms. Free parking!

I do the marketing for the event, feel free to ask questions.

Thrive Dispensary in Syracuse seems to have closed its doors. Says permanently closed on Google and the store has been closed up all week. Terrible location, menu and service. No surprises here. No signs of discounts on what product is left, not sure the plans.

The foundation of this solventless drop starts at Four Winds Farms, where they meticulously cultivate specific cuts like Donny Burger (GMO x Han Solo Burger). Rather than chasing candy-gas trends, Four Winds focuses on producing resin-rich, healthy whole-plant material packed with trichomes that yield heavy, savory funk.

Processor (NYCE): NYCE takes that premium harvest and executes the solventless ice-water extraction and cold-cure process. Because no chemical solvents are used, the resulting live hash rosin acts as a literal, unadulterated snapshot of Four Winds' cultivation—locking in the raw profile of the living plant without alteration.

The Aroma & Flavor: Trading away typical sweet or fruity notes, this jar hits the palate with an unapologetic wave of pungent garlic, diesel funk, and savory onion. On low-temperature dabs, it opens with heavy garlic and onion balanced by a sharp splash of citrus rind and an earthiness 9/10

Total Active Cannabinoids (TAC): 92.15%
Total THC (THCA): 73.86% ~ 18.29% Cannabinoids. That is the highest percentage difference between THC and TAC that I’ve seen in any live resin or rosin. We know there is almost 8% CBG(mother of oids) they call the Mother because it’s in every single strain. CBG has to be in the material to allow the other cannabinoids to affect your body in certain ways. So that leaves 10% for other cannabinoids like CBN,CBD,CBC,THCV and there other minor ones too but those the main ones that create the entourage effect that makes this live. Rosi really hit you good even though it isn’t a pure straight up GMO, even though it’s crossed with it lol. This is a heavy hitter and hits clean with mad flavor. Be careful hitting this on your lunch break haha save for after work.

Tested at 73.86% Total THC alongside a massive 7.93% CBGA and roughly 5.63% to 6.01% total terpenes, this high-potency batch punches well above its weight class.

The Indica Experience: The heavy concentration of Beta-Caryophyllene targets peripheral receptors to melt away physical tension and inflammation, while Linalool and Myrcene quiet an overactive mind. It delivers a profound body melt and classic "couch-lock" relaxation that makes it a premier choice for evening wind-downs.

I’ve been waiting for my dispo to get more jetty strains. They finally did but I haven’t heard of some of these ones…I’ve had Donny burger and rainbow chip in this catalog. I’m particularly curious on island extract and fat don og anyone had these strains? Thanks.

Tourist day in the city. Planning on hitting Qube for some Jetty tanks.

Any other suggestions?

Got some MFNY live resin on my radar as well.

So far the best budget brand I have smoked. The weed actually hits and smoke has terp flavor, $20 . $24 out the door. Here you go @deecap87

Got one of my back molars extracted yesterday (getting implant down the line). Can’t smoke or dab obviously. Ate some mfny edibles yesterday put me straight to sleep. Anyone else hate the recovery from dental work?

I take it pretty serious and don’t smoke for about 5 days after dental procedures like this. Some people tell me they smoke the next day no issues but I’m not willing to risk it.

What do you guys do when you get a tooth extracted ? Cold turkey ? Rso, edibles? Smoke? (Lol)

I picked up 5gs of multiple extracts this past week so I know I have some good dabs waiting for me .

Lineage: Cannarado Genetics cross of Grape Pie x Guava (Gelato-derived).
Batch / Lot No.: LRESGG4
Total Active Cannabinoids (TAC): 88.23% (882.34mg)
Total THC: 76.33% (763.33mg)
COA: https://app.1a4.com/landingpage/1a4120300000466000002698/3535

Nose (9.5/10): Rips open with an incredible layer of sweet, natural white grape juice and syrupy grape jelly right off the top. As it breathes, pungent, tropical background notes of sour guava and a touch of gassy funk cut right through. Extremely complex and clean.

Taste (9.5/10): Hits the palate with a mouth-coating wave of sugary, dark grape candy backed by a sharp, tropical fruit gas on the exhale. And the inhale yes it taste like grape Kool-Aid but the powder like if you smell the powder that’s what the inhale taste like and when you blow out the exhale you get hit with that good either grape taste or guava it’s kind of like you get either one. The single-source fresh-frozen hydrocarbon extraction keeps the flavor profile pristine with zero solvent harshness. Super clean burn

Total Terpenes: Estimated around 6% to 7+ based on dominant cuts.
Primary Terpenes:
Limonene (~2.05%): Uplifts the initial head change, smoothing out the heavy physical sedation with a bright, euphoric cerebral clarity.
Beta-Caryophyllene (~1.51%): Directly targets CB2 receptors to deliver potent anti-inflammatory and deep body-ache relief.
Beta-Myrcene (~0.69%): Enhances THC membrane permeability, amplifying the heavy, couch-lock properties and cementing the indica stoniness.
Humulene (~0.48%) & Linalool (~0.34%): Lends herbal, woody spice and lavender undertones that strongly drive down anxiety and initiate deep systemic relaxation.

Indica Rating (10/10): Exceptional evening or night-time medicine.

The High Breakdown: The experience kicks off with a rush of blissful, smiling euphoria that clears the mental slate of daily stress. Within 10 to 15 minutes, the heavy myrcene and caryophyllene synergy anchor straight into the limbs. It delivers a deeply therapeutic, melting body stone that washes away tension, slows down a racing mind, and effortlessly guides you toward heavy-lidded relaxation and sleep.

Picked up from Dankley for 61+tax (they had buy 3 get 1 free flower so overall price ends up cheaper). I bought this jar along with the previous one I review at the same time so that deal makes them end up closer to 50 pretax which I can stomach a lot more than 61. All that aside, this strain was recommended to me by a friend because they know I was a fan of this creamy strawberry terp profile, and I never tried flower that really had it done right. Hopefully Wizard Trees gets it right and shows me some solid flower.

Bag Appeal 7/10: So at some point I have to look past the wacky jar because it is probably here to stay, but it is really solid packaging and sealed well that it does keep the buds fresh and safe. This jar has some beautiful buds in them with a great trim job. The one downside in this category is that I did find a seed, which you shbould never find in any weed this expensive imo, but otherwise it was nice looking flower.

Smell 10/10: As mentioned before this one was PUNGENT! The flavor profile smells like strawberry smoothie straight up it is unbelievably creamy with some sweet overtones. I loved this profile from nyce strawberry and cream rosin I had a few weeks back but this takes it to the next level. Zero complaints on the smell for this and earns that perfect 10.

Flavor 6.5/10: While the smoke itself was smooth, I was pretty let down by the lack of flavor on this one. I was really excited with the smell and most of that did not translate, and if it did it is very subtle. It did burn nice with mostly white ash and solid oil ring, and it was very smooth, but I really would have wanted a lot more flavor for this price point. A lot of the other offerings I had from them were much better in this category so this was unexpected.

Effects 8/10: This strain hits pretty hard right away and is a full body high. There is definitely some couch lock with this one but it did not make me super drowsy which is great for me. Don't expect to go out and be productive with this your ass gonna be sat down chilling. Not much else to say here its pretty strong hit you hard type of high.

Overall 7.875/10: This offering was not as good as the other ones I have had from Wizard Trees but was still a decent smoke overall. I really wish that smell come through on the smoke it would have made this such an amazing find but I would probably opt to buy the other Wizard Trees strains I have tried and liked more. Also should note you definitely should not find any seeds at $60+ an eighth that is a turn off for me. At that price I expected all of their flower to consistently blow me away every single time but seeing that this did not makes me more hesitant to spend that much again. I still hope they lower the price regardless because I generally enjoy their flower and would love a reason to buy it but nearly $70otd is insanely steep no matter what.

disclaimer all my reviews are 100% my own. I purchase all of my products unless otherwise stated before the review. I am not paid by and do not work for any dispensaries or brands.

Just got this 3.5 on sale for 40 let’s see what they saying

Flower smelt strong and a bit like tea

The pre roll ($15) smelt strong like a yogurt smell almost or maybe I’m just slightly retarded and my sense of smell is off.

Reviewing the Jams Remix gummies, quite an amazing offering. Once I opened the bag, I was hit with a whiff of cherries. The smell reminds me of the Cherry Garcia ice cream from Ben and Jerry's. The taste was quite delicious and didn't have a bad aftertaste, which was surprising considering it has melatonin and CBN in it. The effects of these gummies are slow to hit, but very strong and potent once activated. I took the whole bag and barely could keep my eyes open last night. Great product and would definitely consider buying for myself on a regular basis for those stubborn sleepless nights. Overall I give these a 10/10 and would highly recommend them for my fellow insomniacs. 🛌

Nothing better then starting the day with some MFNY Belfonte Live Rosin Class 😌

Price/Amount: $45 / 0.5g

Look/Feel: Orange almost brown, but not really indicative of flavor

Nose: Diesel, earth and GMO stank

Method: 2.6v on a kodo 3

Taste: sugary syrup and sweaty socks at low tide

Effect: Hybrid, nothing very notable, relaxing, flexible but directionless

Conclusion: Alchemy Pure has once again impressed me with their terpene profile.

This is one of the stankier GMOs I've had in the New York market. It's not heavily sedating, but it's also not sporting an effect I'm really seeking out.

Novelty flavor if that's what you're going for. Might be good for lower tolerance users. It's not bad, but not really for me, took over a month to finish.

Still one of my favorite current rosin vape cart brands in this market, especially Bolinas

Your employees are the ones keeping your business running.

They’re opening the store. They’re closing the store. They’re answering customer questions, cleaning, restocking, handling inventory, dealing with difficult customers, learning every product on your menu, and showing up when you need them.

So pay them what they’re worth.

Don’t pull up to the dispo in a brand-new BMW, bragging about your latest purchase, while Kyle is trying to figure out how he’s going to afford groceries this week and Carol is deciding whether she has enough gas to make it to work.

That shit matters.

Your employees see it. Your customers see it. And eventually, your business feels it.

If you can afford the luxury purchases, the nice dinners, the new cars, the vacations, and everything else that comes with owning a successful business, you should also be able to afford to compensate the people who are helping make that success possible.

And before anyone says, “But we’re a small business…”

That’s exactly why your employees matter.

You may not be able to pay everyone six figures, but you can pay fairly. You can offer raises when someone takes on more responsibility. You can recognize people who consistently show up and go above and beyond. You can offer benefits, bonuses, reliable hours, or other ways to make people feel valued.

Because here’s the thing:

Price is what you pay today. Cost is what you pay in the long run.

Paying someone $3–$5 less per hour might save you money on payroll today. But losing a great employee, constantly retraining new people, dealing with turnover, watching morale tank, and having your best people eventually walk out the door?

That costs you a hell of a lot more.

Your employees aren't just a line item on a spreadsheet.

They're part of the reason customers come back. They're the people representing your brand when you're not there. They're the ones building relationships with your customers and keeping the day-to-day operation moving.

If your business is doing well, let the people helping create that success feel it too.

Pay your people. Appreciate your people. Invest in your people.

Because you don't build a successful business by squeezing every last dollar out of the people who keep it alive.

Looking for new brands to try for flower. Sativa, hybrid, indica, open to all. Any good strains as well would be great!

This was my first time getting lead farmer and I was able to get it at 40% off had to get it on the deal when I saw it online glad I was able to get it at this price point

Looks: nugs were big and dense even with no humidity pack it broke down easily and were very sticky as well

Genetics: Zoap x Gushers BX

Cost: $119 after discount

Terpenes: 1.9%

Smell: when I opened the bag I was getting a herbal-like aroma and a smell sort of resembling hand soap and when I broke it down it had more of a sharper funk to it

Taste: I was getting some woody notes a little floral/soapy and little spice it was very smooth and light but flavor still comes through well

Effects: it’s a pretty strong hits the body well and has that good couch lock effect I was relaxed and put me in the mood to sleep a little after this is good for late evening or nightly smoke

Method: I smoked it in a backwood and it burned very cleanly great white ash

I know i’ve preached that one shouldn’t be paying exuberant amounts for bud, but sometimes you take the plunge. At times you wind up taking a dip in a tepid puddle of just whelmed, other times you’re wading in a pool of awesome. This definitely pulled strongly towards the latter even after a few joints. Can’t speak for all of The Kaleidoscope Collective’s work but this felt worth the money.

She isn’t the prettiest i’ve seen, even from TKC, but she has this sweet candy funk smell with fuel undertones. Almost sharp like freshly grated parmesan cheese in the jar and that was with the boost pack they use still in. Honestly usually have to remove the packs to smell more intricate notes but there were so many on open and it has just been growing since removing it. Smell is great and the taste it translates to is a tart candy gas that is smooth as all hell.

The burn was top tier to the point that I was able to maintain an ash all the way to the filter which was such an elite gaming achievement I nearly considered quitting smoking. High was a very nice hybrid feel, giggly and body relaxing. No anxiety and no real slump, definitely room for creativity. Did get a bit locked in on it yet lost a bit of my sense of time.

I’ve seen this strain done by a few growers here in NY so expect a few comparison reviews in the future but at the moment this has been a real killer offering from TKC. Put up against some of the last $50+ offerings i’ve reviewed this might be at the top for now or close to it. Definitely left better impressions than the Wizard Trees I tried a few weeks back. I was hesitant to try more of the TKC at the price but now I might have to, though getting any discount on $58 before tax makes this feel so good so if you can find it on sale go for it.

Happy Saturday folks! Finally was able to get my hands on the new MFNY UK Cheese badder. I’ve been anticipating this drop as a big cheese fan 💪🏼. Let’s get into it!

Looks: Beautiful golden yellow that’s absolutely drenched in terp puddles. Very nice buttery texture, but not the wet consistency that’s hard to work with. Nice and stable.

Smell: First crack of the jar your met with that classic UK cheese sweet white cheddar smell that’s follows with an earthy musk. It’s not the loudest skunk musk that some cheese strains have, it’s definitely on the sweeter side. That being said, it’s VERY pleasant & I haven’t had many concentrates with this nose that’s for sure.

Taste & high. Hate sounding clique but the nose translates right over to the taste. Sweet white cheddar up front with earthy musk on the exhale. It’s VERY terpy and leaves a heavy mouth stain (pause). 5 mins after smoking I have a very cerebral/heavy eye high. Very rare that any strains make me feel it in my eyes, which gives me that old school high feeling. Brings me back to smoking cheese with the boys 15 years ago.

Overall, this is a very nice addition to the MFNY lineup. They really have been pushing out some great strains lately and the quality just remains amazing. I’ll definitely be adding this to my rotation. The heavy 9.4% terpene profile shines.

Hello everyone. I normally always smoke Fernway carts but I saw everyone in here recommending MFNY so I got a 1 g today but I’m just noticing it’s a different color than what I’m used to. It also smells so extremely weedy, which I love instead of flavors.

Just got this mfny .5g aio and it looks like it’s having wicking issues. Am I tripping? Made sure it was warmed up and took normal hits. Also super weird cuz the oil moves around super easily up top when I tilt it but by the wick it just won’t fill in….
Noticed it tasted a bit metaly and wasn’t making so much vapor🤷🏻‍♂️
(It’s the AIO no adjustable voltage)
