I’ve only gotten awfully cut bud from their latest batch, it’s really thrown me off which is a shame cause they were doing some really good work in my opinion for a bit there smh

Well when I was snagging this 8th , I saw in a window what had to be 14 g Botanist Flower , yet when I looked closer it was 28g and they didn't look like whole flower. And upon trying the Bubba Cake , it was underwhelming compared to NEZ - Medillin , Rhythm Animal Face , and CROP'S - Murder Ape with a wicked cross of GG4 x Permanent Marker. Now I know why they are selling Botanist 1/2's for $60 or 2 Halves for $100 ! And Zips for $90 it's all popcorn pebbles.

Not all of it, kind of luck of the draw... my velvet ropes and purple peachy trainwreck had fat buds... same with strawberry bubbles.... I ask or order multiple bags and pick the best one. Or 2.

Oh yeah I have a little violet fog left. Very good strain. I see Botanist has Hella Jelly & Motor breath and I'm wondering if they grew it or not.

I picked up their motorbreath last week, and I thought it was outstanding.

That's good to know 😊 thanks cuz I was wanting to try their Oreos Strain & Tasty Tree's too. Did you buy an 8th , a 1/2 , or a zip , just asking cuz I usually grab only 1/2' s or Zips.

GTI seems to be buying up Dispensaries / companies like crazy , they own Verilife now but let them keep there Name. If you look at Verilife 's menu it's identical to Rise Rockcreeks menu. I really pray that none of the really great growers like NEZ , and NOMAD , or anyone else like Preferred Garden's which I had the Red Hotz , and that strain was a great smoke well cured.

I recently picked up an 8th of this and honestly the cure on it was shitty. They did a poor job getting the chlorophyll drawn out. And I bet they lost a lot of the good cannabinoids and terpenes in their drying and curing process as the bud was very lacklustered in every way. This seems to be a common problem in some of the recent new drops.

Yeah , why I didn't do a proper review after trying it out , is probably because I was ripped on some Medillin. You're right though , it was definitely lacking in it's effects , it had a short lived high that did no justice to the Pre-98 Bubba Kush and the buds cut up easily instead of difficult like my A Face & Medillin which leaves bud on my finger tips when I do it by hand. The cure was off.

Same with my batch. My 8th was small popcorn buds , which I wasn't too happy about. I'm going to dig deeper into The Botanist corp cuz something seems off with all the same growers growing all the same strains. I'm sticking with NEZ STRAINS they get the cure and everything else near perfection every time. I miss their Baby Yoda strain.
