Strain Review #4: Jillybean & Blackberry Kush

Today I'm reviewing two different strains testing above 20%. Fortunately, the quality of bud at dispensaries has grown to what I remember in LA.

Name	Jillybean
THC %	20%
Lineage	Orange velvet x Space Queen
Strain	60% Sativa / 40% Indica
Review	I haven't smelled anything quite like this. The citrusy smell is quite pungent and there's a slight undertone of orange as well. The nug is dense and when ground up, the smell pops out even more and smells like grapefruit! I detected a slight sweetness to the smoke before coughing it all out. Jillybean produces a little more of head high, but provides a nice balance for those who don't prefer extremes.

Name	Blackberry Kush
THC %	27%
Lineage	Afghani x Blackberry
Strain	20% Sativa / 80% Indica
Review	This was the highest testing strain at the dispensary, so I'm looking forward to trying it. It does smell like berries, which means its the good stuff. Blackberry Kush has quite a dense yet slightly squishy feeling, so I figure the nugs are a bit fresher. Interestingly the aroma also changes when ground up and smells more of diesel. There is a berry taste to the smoke, which I always appreciate. I personally prefer Indica so it should be obvious that Blackberry Kush is one of my favorite strains.

Deep Dream Generator is especially fun to use after smoking. I decided to create my rendition of Blackberry Kush. Hope you like it!

After reviewing both strains I must say I lean towards Blackberry Kush. My love for Indica plus potency of the strain allows me to load smaller bowls, saving me more over time. For those that prefer hybrids and for those who are still new to cannabis, Jillybean would be a better choice.
