Tried the Purple Snowman this time, according to the website it’s a cross between Payton’s Lemons and Blood Orange Diesel from High Alpine Genetics. This is my favorite one so far, the nugs look awesome, big dense chonkers with a striking mix of colors, deep greens, purples, and oranges, with a layer of frosty trichomes. Well-trimmed like everything has been so far this year.

The smell right out of the bag is crazy, really chemmy (in the best way), like wood varnish, lemon pledge, wet paint, but with some sweet orange zest and vanilla scented candle underneath. Maybe the least “hempy” hemp strain I’ve ever smelled, if you know what I mean.

Breaking these down the buds are solid and dense, nice and sticky, but grind up fluffy and even, and they release even more of that chem and vanilla smell. The joint smoked super smooth with a light vanilla creaminess, varnish/gassy exhale, and a sweet orange lingering aftertaste, really enjoyable to smoke and can’t wait to go back to this one.

The effects are really nice sativa-leaning hybrid, just uplifting and floaty, but mild. Nothing rushy, uncomfortably buzzy, or anxious like some sativa strains give me. Left me feeling relaxed but happy and functional, not sleepy at all. Great for daytime use. I feel like High Alpine and Lost Oak really nailed it with this one.
