Coastal Cake Cannabis Cultivar (Strain) Review
PREFACE: For the 20th review of this page I wanted to grab something special and when I saw a chance to grab something that doesn’t come around too much I thought it would be a good one.
COMPANY/ STRAIN INFO: Keeping it coastal is a farm and brand hailing from the Northern California coast. For those unfamiliar, keeping it coastal is renowned for their hash, and in doing so they drop a few pounds of their flower only once or twice a year making it a rare find. For those aware of the concept of terroir, it is a term from the wine world used to describe the unique soil, climate, natural organisms and topography of a region that contributes to the characteristics of anything grown there, and is the best way to describe the growing style of this group of cultivators. This strain is Coastal Cake, a wedding cake variation flowered for 80 days, fed only water, and greenhouse grown in native organic living soil from the north coast which to explain to the best of my knowledge is soil from that region amended organically and improved through the process of being used for multiple runs.
VISUALS: 9.5/10
So being from the west coast Ive never smoked real chem or sour D but when I do get the chance I hope it looks like this. Super frosty and triched out with each individual calyx defined singularly, yet when combined creates a densely bundled nug structure that lies loosely almost like clumps of branches on a thick vine like stem. In terms of the color spectrum this was a candidate for the make green weed great again party with a lime green exterior and a dusting of light yellow/golden trichomes complete with a plentiful amount of brown pistils woven in and out of the buds.
SMELL: 9/10
GMO terps never die which is why I was slightly confused when I opened this jar of wedding cake for the first time and smelled what seemed like one of the stinkiest jars of gmo I’d ever come across. Think stinky socks after the gym if they had been left composting in soil for a week. A deep earthy skunkiness amplified with the addition of the addition of a veggie ( slightly sulfuric earthy smell?) like scent gave this one a super strong nose that gave everyone who smelled the jar a stank face in the best sort of way.
TASTE & EFFECTS : 9.5/10
Like breathing air. No choke or harshness with the smoke and the taste was so unique, to describe it as the the perfect ratio of skunkiness to earthiness as equal means to balance each other out is the only way I could think to describe it. A situational balance in which Neither dominated the other, both melding to create a very unique medicinal effect that manifested itself as a heavy high felt in the head that gave a weighed down sensation and traveled through the rest of the body and made it easy to fall into the closest couch/ chair and not want to move at all. On the mind it was a super stoney high onset with senses of relaxation and peacefulness. I found this cultivar to perfectly sedate and slow my brain when coming off a busy day or situations where the mind moves a 1000 miles an hour.
