He’s definitely a dipshit haha, but I did get an eighth of Starkiller, another Rare Dankness hybrid, from the same dispensary (Buds ‘n’ Roses, such a dumb name for a dispensary… haha) that was very, very good. So good, in fact, that I bought some seeds and grew it myself a few years later. But I got that Starkiller from there like three or four years after I tried their GTH.
I think it was 2012? Pretty sure it was April 20, 2012, just to take advantage of their 4/20 sale. That place has always been ridiculously overpriced, so I figured I’d go there when they weren’t selling eighths for fucking $75. I did also get some Strawberry Cough that was very good on that same trip (that was when I lived in East Hollywood, so going out to the Valley wasn’t really a thing I ever did haha).
So, yeah, 2012. I dunno when RD started doing different versions of the GTH, but maybe you do.
Yeah, I’ve grown the aforementioned Starkiller, which, like I said, was really good and tasty. I’ve also grown their Midas and Moonshine Haze and both of those were really good, too. Planted four seeds of that Ghost of Leeroy a few years ago and they looked promising, but they all turned out male haha. I also soaked and then planted four or five seeds of that Rugburn OG just a few months ago, but none of them sprouted, makes me a little worried about how all of the RD stuff that I bought was stored before I bought it, because I KNOW it wasn’t on my end. All of my seeds are stored properly.
Anyway, my point is haha that I don’t think their stuff is “bad” at all. It’s all been a pleasure to grow and smoke. I just didn’t like that GTH, but maybe if I’d have grown it myself I’d be singing a different tune.
I didn’t.
That’s definitely possible, especially because I got it on their 4/20 sale. I could see them putting out all of the bullshit for that, for sure. Scumbags… haha!
It was. Like I said, that was 2012. Prop 64 didn’t pass until 2018, so… And just as an aside, I fucking HATE Prop 64, voted against it even though I think weed should absolutely be legal. It was such an obvious power play to squeeze out every single small- and medium-sized grower and consolidate the market into the hands of the very few who could afford the tens of thousands of dollars that it costs to be a licensed grower/vendor post-Prop 64.
It used to cost me $130 a year to be a legal vendor. Now? I haven’t even bothered looking because I know I can’t afford it haha! It wouldn’t even be worth it, I don’t grow that much. Prop 64 definitely took the fun out of everything, though. There used to be soooooo much variety on dispensary menus, it was actually kind of fun to check out the menus online every day, just because there’d be the most random and interesting stuff that’d make an appearance for a few days or a week and then you’d never see it again.
Now it’s just the same nine things everywhere. Not that I’d even go to a dispensary anymore, I’m just sayin’…
Anyway, sorry to ramble. This post definitely got longer than I was planning haha…
