Strain Review Sesh! || Grape Juice rosin by Vivid!
3Hello! Reviews are starting back up today with some Grape Juice rosin from Vivid Extracts that I picked up from Easy Mountain!
I had a hard time finding solid info on the lineage for the Grape Juice and there was no info listed on their website about their rosin at all. Admittedly, I did not message them to find out, either. So, we'll just move on to the numbers. Total Cannabinoids are at 85.45% with total THC at 69.26 putting the d-9 THC at 1.49% and the THCa at 77.27%. Total CBD sits at .46% with CBDa at .18%. 0% CBN content and there are no other listed Cannabinoids. The Terpenes test out to 4.41% with Ocimene 2 at 1.01%, a-Bisabolol at .46%, and Guaiol at .43% as the top three. These make up roughly 2% of the total 4.41%.
The smell is very candied grape and gas for me. There's a funky note to it that reminds me of fuel. At a nice low-med temp the grape flavor really pops with some light tartness and a little funky undertone, again reminiscent of fuel or some say cheese. Some of the flavor can be described from the dominant Terpenes with some sweet, herbal, and lightly citrus notes coming the Ocimene, more mellow floral and earthy notes in the Bisabolol, and some more sweet and tropical notes in the Guaiol. And I'm delighted to say, the high and effects are as complex as the flavor!
The effects on this one are really nice, to me. It's described as a Hybrid and the experience does fit into that spectrum pretty well. Immediately after the dab you get a rush of euphoria and uplifting effects with some lightly relaxing and chill vibes lingering in the body high. I found that once the initial euphoria wore down, maybe 15-30 minutes into the experience, it really settled into the relaxing and more chilled out qualities quite nicely. I believe that initial rush can be linked to Ocimene as it has qualities similar to Myrcene or Limonene. But it's balanced out nicely by the Bisabolol and Guaiol who both have pretty chilled out and relaxed effects. In fact, the Bisabolol and Guaiol make this strain great for medicating for pain! It immediately relieves aches and pains along with nerve pains and inflammation wares down as the body high intensifies. The uplifting and euphoric effects would work well to help with mood or mental health. And I didn't notice anything in particular as far as appetite, for this one. Didn't really get the munchies going in particular. And of course I'd mainly suggest this one as a day time to early evening strain. Maybe even good for a wake and bake. But definitely not something I would rely on for a bed time strain.
So, that's that! Grape Juice live rosin from Vivid! I really enjoyed this stuff. It medicates well and tastes great doing so. Couldn't really ask for much more. Other than one single thing. I do prefer a stickier substance which in turn also lends to higher terps too. Because there almost always could be more terps lol anyway, thanks for reading along! Hope you enjoyed. See you tomorrow for some gaming then Wednesday for the Smashfruit from Elevate!
