I use this bud to alleviate insomnia, and to curb cravings for alcohol and opiates. All three goals are met with this flower. It is deep, dark green with some orange hairs and lightly crystalized.
The aroma is nutty, with a strong presence of pine. I am not an aficionado when it comes to flavor, but I would say it tastes the way it smells but more mild. The smoke is on the harsh side, with some heavy expansion so be prepared. You will feel the effects upon the first exhale as I find this to be a fairly potent strain.

I am smoking the Hash version of this strain so I can't comment on the bud.
After 2 good puffs, I feel uplifted and relaxed. Stress level is low and my music sounds wonderful now. Definitely a more mental and heady buzz than my usual Indica bud.
I really enjoy this, but it's difficult to work with. It looks like coffee grounds, and it (kind of) sticks together but easily breaks apart.
Smell and taste are typically hash-like.

This is without a doubt my new favorite. In my opinion it is the total package in terms of a cannabis strain. I picked up a couple grams of the outdoor, organic variety. The flowers are puffy with some density on the inside and a light fruity smell. The flowers are a medium greenish blue, with a dusting of trichomes.
The taste upon exhale is unbelievable, it's much stronger than the smell of the fresh bud even when broken up. It is a VERY smooth smoke that doesn't expand and has a big fruity (blueberry) taste. It really is excellent when it comes to flavor, perfect for any kind of glassware.
The effects are very uplifting, happy, and euphoric. Definitely not a "before bed" type of herb. This is much more an activity driven type, that's perfect for a party or listening to music. After 3 good puffs from the pipe, the effects don't last too long, and I wouldn't say it's hard hitting either, but it makes up for that in all other areas. There was no confusion, or anxiety that I could detect and I am sometimes prone to that with some strains. This is one lovely strain, period.
Picked this herb up at Seaside Herb Co. in Pacific Beach, San Diego CA.

I think this may be an acquired taste. The flowers have a dark green/amber appearance with few visible tan hairs. They are dense with full, well formed, calyx's covered in trichomes. When it comes to smell, it has an earthy aroma mixed with a slight hint of pine not unlike your typical Indica. The bud, does have a fairly impressive appearance.
However the smoke is harsh, with a sour finish on exhale and good expansion. It is a potent smoke that you can feel immediately behind the eyes. But it's a foggy, fuzzed out, mind and body stone that I personally didn't care for. It does have a mean munchy factor, so this may be a good choice for someone looking to stimulate the appetite.
With so many delicious Indica strains to choose from out there, it would be very hard for me to ever include this strain into the rotation.

These flowers are light green with orange hairs and a coating of trichomes so heavy, if you put them in sunlight they sparkle like diamonds. The scent is strong pine, with pungent earthy undertones.
When it comes to taste, those with a taste for a sweet, smooth smoke that has no bitter aftertaste whatsoever will absolutely love this flower. There is good expansion, but it won't make you loose a lung.
The effects are very heavy, but creep up on you and wash over your entire body in waves. I distinctly remember getting in touch with my reptilian brain after 2 good pulls from the glass pipe. I alternated from being completely stunned to laughing hysterically for almost 3 hours and it finished with a strong burn out. This strain is excellent for night time stress relief, insomnia, and certainly nausea or lack of appetite.
Definitely a WOW strain, looking forward to the other planets.
Picked this up at The Happy Co-Op in San Diego.

Appearance is light to medium green with dark orange pistils throughout. They are very dense but pull apart easily and there's a light coating of frost.
Smell is musky and earthy and not much else. But taste comes through in a big way with a very smooth, mellow smoke, with fruity accents. Awesome tasting strain.
The effects are uplifting and happy, yet relaxing. Super good strain for listening to music.

"This review is for Platinum Bubba Kush, which has a dark green and purple appearance. I purchased this flower at Green Crop Co-Op in San Diego. The bud is HEAVILY covered in trichomes even to the naked eye. As previously mentioned, the bud is dark green and purple with some beige hairs. The nugs are medium to large and are very impressive. Just as impressive as the look is the smell. This Kush is not nearly as spicy many of the others I've sampled, instead it leans towards a strong pine with hints of citruce. It is a pleasure to break these flowers apart and let the delicious aroma waft over you. The high is not so much an archetypical heavy Indica. Instead, it leans more toward a clear headed and uplifting, even euphoric state. I felt very happy, content, and extremely relaxed but not lazy. This strain is amazing."

I obtained this strain at 61eleven, San Diego's only drive through dispensary. It is an outdoor version that is locally grown here in San Diego.
The bud is dense yet spongy and is a light green with, flecks of dark green and brown hairs throughout. The nugs are medium sized and have a definite citrus and sandalwood scent mixed with very slight piney undertones.
I usually don't go for Sativa dominant hybrids and this one is a 70/30 cross. I don't know if it was just me but this strain seemed exceptionally strong. I medicated last night at about 1AM after completing a long and stressful project. I found that I couldn't finish my normal bowl, and had to set my piece down. The high hit me all at once and relaxing wasn't my first choice. I almost wanted to go for a walk, but it was too late so I played some music and really enjoyed it. Very strong heady high...

I am reviewing the outdoor version of this flower, obtained from 61eleven dispensary, the drive-thru collective in San Diego.
The appearance is a medium green with few visible brown/tan pistils. Trichome coverage to the naked eye is very light, but under a loupe they are more apparent. The smell is a prototypical earthy, spiced, kush-type smell. Smell-wise it is nowhere near as pungent as some of the indoor OG Kush I've had.
If I'm honest it doesn't have much "bag appeal" at all, but the "taste" and "effects" departments are where this bud REALLY shines.
This specimen when smoked, has a robust, flavorful and smooth smoke. It finishes very clean with almost no aftertaste. It's quite honestly one of the best tasting Kush's I've sampled to date.
What this particular OG Kush lacks in "bag appeal" it makes up for big time in the effects department. First, it is an extremely uplifting high that could be compared to that of a Sativa, but without any paranoia or racing thoughts. The effects are always predictable, a happy enjoyable high that is long lasting without being too "couchy" or demotivating. It does finish with a pretty heavy burn out so I can't fully recommend it for a daytime smoke.

Light green flowers with tear-dropped shaped calyxes and dark green tips with a medium-thick coating of amber and white trichomes. Very dense nugs.
The smell and taste is much more of an Earthy musk sometimes with a slightly bitter aftertaste. I actually prefer the piney fuel tasting strains more.
However, this strain packs a serious punch. Almost instantly you will feel your eye lids lower and a very calming yet euphoric state ensues. It's a very laughy and lazy high that finishes with a pretty serious burn.
This strain is definately on par with the heaviest of OG's and if you have anything to get done you better get it done first.

Really dense small buds that are purple with flecks of light green throughout. Very tasty, sweet and hashy.
Right to the dome, I feel heavy, dazed and lazy. But I can honestly say the best thing about this bud is the taste. It's so sweet I could smoke on this all day.

This flower is light green with flecks of purple throughout and has an aroma of sandalwood with hints of lemon and a slight pine scent. The smoke tastes much like the smell but sort of lacks that clean taste that some of the other more pure Kush varieties posses.
This is an interesting strain in that most often I am not normally energized by Indica dominant strains yet I found myself looking for things to do and soon found myself sweeping floors and cleaning house. I also had a strong desire to listen to music. It is a very enjoyable uplifting high that lasts a good while.
The burn out effect is pretty intense which makes it perfect for a night smoke. I'm an insomniac that takes other medications for sleep but none of them work this well. I slept like a baby all night long. However I did feel slightly hazy the next day for about an hour or so. Really great cannabis.

I paid a premium price for this strain, $25/g and I bought 2 grams. I have to say I am impressed, just 2 puffs from the pipe and I am extremely relaxed and my eyelids are very heavy. For these effects I would normally have to smoke about 4 bowls of Kush. About 15 seconds after the first hit you are already under the influence of some powerful bud.
The look is medium green with light green flecks and dark brown hairs. The bud is large, in the shape of a Christmas tree and has the smell of pine & citrus fruit 60% pine tree and 40% lemon. It's also a bit of a creeper despite feeling the effects only 15 seconds after the first hit the high has intensified considerably. I have tasted better OG's with a stronger pine taste and cleaner finish but this is without a doubt the strongest Indica I have ever smoked. Also, this flower only needs one touch with the lighter and it burns until it's gone leaving a perfectly white ash. A perfect cure for sure. It's definitely worth the extra $5 a gram but I don't think I will be buying this every time. When I use this strain my insomnia COMPLETELY disappears, I sleep like baby all night long.

Overall this is a very nice flower to smoke. The flowers are extra large, one of the buds I obtained is over 3 grams which is nice. They are light green, very dense, but the pistil count is low (not overly hairy) and there is a light frosting of amber trichomes that are much easier to see through a magnifying lens.
The smell is earthy, musky, and sweet with just a light hint of pine. The smoke is very smooth and sweet, absolutely one of the smoothest I've had. It's very easy on the throat and lungs with mild expansion, extremely pleasurable and delicious.
I have had slightly more potent strains but the taste and smoothness really make this strain a joy to have on hand. The buzz lasts a good long while too. Excellent strain for pain with a high CBD count and works wonderfully for my insomnia.
