Strain Integrity
According to the OCS website, ” High-quality hybrid bud at a great price; Good Supply taking it to the next level with Grower’s Choice. ”
With seeds from the same breeder, RIFF’s Sweet Jersey 3 aka Jean Guy and Good Supply’s Jean Guy have very different effects. Sweet Jersey is calmer and Good Supply’s Jean Guy was very energizing. When one strain between two growers can produce two different effects, how are we expected to identify this strain? We will go with the flow and self isolate ourselves with the herb and report our experience.
Mystery hybrid high
Good Supply’s Grower’s Choice Hybrid is Aphria’s low cost brand. THC was 20.81% costing $24.95 for 3.5 grams. Good Supply’s Flowers are always potent with full effects and cheaper. Packaged on February 10, 2020, this is fresh off the farm. The scent is sweet citrusy fruity and peppery. This strain is a Grower’s Choice of Hybrid lineage is unknown. This review is like a blind test. Can you name the strain game?
The “high” is a fast cerebral euphoric buzzy heady with good energy lift. There is the lightness of body especially acute at the shoulders … invisible wings giving us lift? There is a current of bristiling energy that is enveloped by calmness to produce a very wakeful yet sedated state of mind. Cheerful cerebral thoughts flood the mind as time stands still. This is a hybrid as the high energy level is kept in check by a blanket of calmness. This is another winner from Good Supply. It is a good way to start the day.
Over the first half hour of the session, time behaves erratically. We get lost in the simplest of tasks. For example, we needed to find the price paid for Grower’s Choice, which required switching into email to check the receipt. When we got to email, we forgot we were there to get the price paid and started cruising the emails and even worse writing emails. That took 5 minutes something that should have taken 30 seconds. Half hour into the session, we were vegetabalized.
Activity pairing for this strain may include all physical activities as this strain provides good energy flow as we felt light on our feet. Mental impairment may occur with high doses impairing any activity participation. In general, this is a vibrant calming and uplifting “high,” which seems to go with a lot of activities.
Conclusion
Grower’s Choice Hybrid by Good Supply
There is a reason why our reviews are always so positive. We choose good growers and their products are good. Good Supply produce top quality intense effects at a reasonable price but there is little visual appeal. Our recommendation is when you see Good Supply, just buy it. It will be “Good” just like the name.
THC: 20.81%
Quality: 8.1
Intensity: 7.9
Duration: 8.0
Total: 8.0
The experience from a self isolate and a walk-about “high” is night and day. Our walk-about session felt fantastic but not overwhelming. While all the self isolate effects are present, the environmental stimuli and general task requirements for navigation in real life situations can significantly mute these effects. The “high” just becomes an overlay over our experience. Grower’s Choice Hybrid delivers a clean focus happy creative mind with a clean smooth energy to propel forward just like a Sativa leaning Hybrid.
On an investment note, Aphria recently secured an $80 million credit facility for Aphria Diamond. Based in Leamington, Ontario, Aphria Diamond operates a 1.3 million sq. ft. facility producing 140,000 kg/year of Good Supply products. Aphria also secured a $100 million strategic investment from a secret institutional investor in January 2020. That is sooooo sweet … a secret admirer … ooooooo.
I just picked some up today. The odour is like being in the Jack Pine forest in the sand hills north a bit. Hot sunny day, blueberry bushes in bloom. Great product for the price. I don’t believe I could get as ripped as the person writing the review. Don’t get me wrong, it is a fine high and the slide down is drawn out. But, I do have to smoke roughly 2 times the amount as the San Rafael Delehaze. But that cost over double. I’ll stick with this hybrid for a while, explore it more.
We apologize profusely for affecting your “expectations” base on our reviews. The recording sessions are in a fully isolated environment devoid of natural light with a total focus on the experience. In real life environment with bright sunlight, people to interact with, places to go and things to do, the “high” experience gets diluted and suppressed. The “high” serves to modulate whatever experience we are going through. This “high” experience under normal conditions would not be as intense as our recording sessions. Most importantly, we realize we are creating expectations with our reviews, which has a feedback loop that is typically negative because of expectations. For that, we apologize.
As for San Rafael Delahaze, we do not think it is possible to achieve similar effects or intensity with a lower grade cannabis no matter how much more is consumed. San Rael is one of the better producer and Delahaze is one of the hardest hitting cannabis. It sounds like Delahaze for that special occasion and Grower’s Choice for that go to everyday buzz.
Enjoy your exploration, which is what life is all about. And, thank you for your patronage.
Cheers
