Judgement Criteria:
F A R M H A R D’s - Violator Kush
Once run through a grinder, it has a nice mid-level sour/piney/kushy smell; that oddball violator appeal.
Cure:
Spot on; small, dense buds with a good bit of tackiness.
Bud Structure/Shape:
Small and elongated organic structure.
Trichome Colour/Ripeness:
Excellent ripeness! It may be a bit hard to see in the photo, but the trichome bulbs over most of the buds have started (are starting) to turn a nice ripe amber colour.
Vapour Flavour/Quality:
Fantastically smooth, dense vapour that lasts a long time. I am not personally a huge fan of the taste of violator, but it has a sort of a musty/kushy thing going on… In terms of strength, however, the vapour taste is quite mild compared to the throat varnish of WCC’s violator.
Duration:
Long. At least an hour from 0.2g bowl vaped.
Effects:
Very potent; I found myself very spaced out and daydreamy for a long time.
W E S T C O A S T C A N N A B I S’ - Violator Kush
Smells like deck stain, like varnish. I don’t know what scary chemical caused this, but I don’t like it.
Cure:
Really nice cure, maybe a wee bit drier in the center of buds than FH.
Bud Structure/Shape:
Really nice, and much larger than FarmHard’s violator. Like violator on steroids by comparison (maybe true?).
Trichome Colour/Ripeness:
A lot less mature than FarmHard’s violator, the trichome’s on WCC’s violator run anywhere from clear to milky, they seem to be shorter by comparison, and I couldn’t spot much for amber coloured trichome bulbs.
Vapour Flavour/Quality:
Dense vapour at first but tapers off quick, the taste is similar to the smell; kinda like licking a newly varnished dining table. Vapour starts smooth but gets really harsh at higher temperatures, I found myself coughing a lot (note: do not have iron lungs).
Duration:
Shorter than FarmHard’s violator, I’d say about 35mins from an 0.2g bowl, and the burnout is heavier.
Effects:
Has the proper kush/violator effects, good body stone and head buzz. Not as dramatic or as quick acting as FarmHard’s violator, not as long lasting either. I got a mild unpleasant sensation from this bud too, kind of a sketchy feeling, hard to explain, like there are chemicals in it that I shouldn’t be ingesting.
R E S U L T S:
The clear winner in this first ever Battle of the Buds is FarmHard.ca’s Violator Kush! It took a clear lead in all categories save bud shape/structure (cures were even), and it’s trichome maturity was a thing of beauty to behold. Lovers of kush and kushy things can’t go wrong with the price-point of FarmHard’s violator, especially considering the exceptional quality. If I had to rate the two, WCC would come in somewhere around AA, and FarmHard would be at least a step above at AAA, to AAA+!
Thanks for reading, friends!
