Don’t ya just love to be pleasantly surprised when you try something for the first time and it’s better than expected? That first hit of Golden Tiger was just like that for me. CLTester buds, as silly as they sound as as wasteful as one can argue they are, actually do serve an important purpose at times. If you have a plant whose trichome window is staying open an unusually long time and you’re not sure where the plant is at in terms of power, you can use tester buds to at least get an idea. If you don’t burn them and keep them green and not too crispy they’re fairly representative, at least for power.
Example: I just tested the Gorilla Cookies (coco/Cyco). She’s on the cusp - she has a bunch of immature amber and is about 90% filled in white. So I nailed the oven, and I just did a big bong hit of it. I’m in the middle of working, so I just packed it, hit it, and moved on. Lol. About 20 seconds later I had to stop. The wave hit me. Wow, did it ever. Hard. A no mercy level hit. A put my head down with my chest on my thighs type hit and just feel the wave wash top to bottom. I was truly truly surprised, just south of shocked. Rarely does that happen. This bud is going to be extremely potent, regardless of Nick’s take on thc levels. It’s advertised with test results in the high 28% level. I cannot WAIT.
