Class is in session. Here’s the latest weekly report card from Good Grades.
Every week, Leafly and Good Grades Dispensary in Queens, New York partner to review a new product from the licensed market. Here’s the latest Leafly Report Card from our friends at Good Grades, who were recently named one of New York’s best dispensaries in our 2024 Leafly List.
NL #5 x Haze by Platinum Reserve [December 20, 2024]
Keenan sheds a light on two classic strains that don’t always get the hype they deserve in a landscape of Kush and Cookies. NL #5 x Haze is a heady combination that leans sativa, but what Keenan likes the most is Platinum Reserve’s growing practices: “full-body, living soil grows that provide that real nostalgic and thorough high that people come in and ask for.”
E85 by Rolling Green Cannabis [December 6, 2024]
Local rapper @remybanks gives E85 by Rolling Green a big thumbs up. He liked the high total cannabinoid content (28%) “I would definitely smoke this,” he says, as a morning pick-me-up or afternoon delight. The terps lean more “lemon fuel, very gassy, but it also has hella citrus.”
Lemon Candy by Runtz [November 27, 2024]
Runtz looms large in New York’s smoking circles, for good reason. Asia loves it for its “sweetness” and “zestyness,” with “true hybrid” effects that suit a bunch of social activities, like going out with friends or watching a movie. It also tests at about 25% THC, perfect for more seasoned smokers.
Black Cherry Gelato by Vireo [November 5, 2024]
Don’t cheat yourself, treat yourself. Boogz recommends this indica-dominant hybrid, despite it’s relatively low THC level (19%). “Made by crossing Acai with Black Cherry Funk, the effects are more calming than energizing. Pinene gives it a woodsy, pine forrest aroma.”
Horchata by Hashtag Honey [October 27, 2024]
Asia is giving us the weekly report on Horchata by Hashtag Honey. This even hybrid has over 26% THC and comes from familiar parents: Mochi Gelato and Jet Fuel Gelato. Asia likes the spicy, peppery notes that provide a calming effect, while also enjoying the sweet berry undertones that will help keep you alert during daytime consumption.
Mega by Gron – Tropical Twist [October 14, 2024]
Good Grades owner Exstasy James is providing this week’s Leafly report card. Here’s what she had to say about Tropical Twist from Mega by Gron, a 100 MG gummie that’s perforated into 10 perfectly even 10mg pieces:
“I would usually take it at night or my down time when I’m not doing anything. They’re sweet, they taste great, and they don’t have that weed taste to them. I don’t recommend taking the whole gummy. If you do, just make sure your whole day is clear.”

Bundles – Sour Tangie flower [September 30, 2024]
Asha presents one of her most-loved strains for making the most out of the day—Sour Tangie by Bundles.
“It’s a sativa-hybrid, really really best for getting your day started. It’s very terp heavy—you really get those orange and citrus terpenes that come through. This is honestly one of my favorite strains. All my Sour Diesel lovers, y’all gonna really love this one.
Asha, Good Grades
Platinum Reserve – Northern Lights flower [September 21, 2024]
A Good Grades mainstay, Queennee from House of Queenee gives Leafly fans the 411 on her new favorite flower, Northern Lights by Platinum Reserve. She also recommends pairing it with a sativa rosin for hash hole lovers.
“It’s definitely giving me full entourage effects. It has a sweet, woodsy taste to it…I would definitely smoke this throughout the day. Even though it’s an indica, I have clear focus.”

Yeti Farms – Perm Pressure (Hybrid) [July 26, 2024]
This week, Asha from Good Grades is showing Yeti Farms‘ new flower flavor– Perm Pressure. Find Yeti Farms and other top brands at Good Grades dispensary in Jamaica, Queens, New York.
“(Parent strain) Permanent Marker won the Leafly Strain of the Year in 2023. This has some Gary Payton mixed in: Gassy and funky. This potent strain brings out creativity for daytime relaxation followed up by the munchies and the urge to roll up some more. Floral, soapy, floral, and gassy funk smells fully translate into the taste.”
Asha, Good Grades
Eureka – Northern Lights & Triple Diesel [July 15, 2024]
This week, Karina and Presly are showing Eureka’s new vape flavors–Northern Lights, and Triple Diesel. Find Eureka and other top brands at Good Grades dispensary in Jamaica, Queens, New York.
Northern Lights by Eureka (Indica)
“My strain is Northern Lights. This is an Indica (90% THC). I love to smoke Indica, I can do it throughout the whole day. I can go to the gym, go for a walk. I can read a book. I can do it all.”
Presly, Eureka
According to the Leafly strain database, Northern Lights produces euphoric effects that settle in firmly throughout the body, relaxing muscles and easing the mind. Consumers say this strain has a pungently sweet and spicy flavor profile that is smooth on the exhale. Medical marijuana patients choose Northern Lights to help relieve symptoms associated with depression, stress, pain and insomnia.
Triple Diesel by Eureka (Sativa)
I would fall asleep with an indica. So mine is the Triple Diesel sativa. I love it for the morning time. It is 85% THC, so it gives you a nice little high. It’s a nice push through the afternoon, especially when I’m getting real sleepy.”
Karina, Eureka
According to the Leafly strain database, the mental effects of Triple Diesel can be strong enough to leave you focused and thoughtful. But taken in higher amounts, this strain will lead to a complete brain vacation. Its cross is the result of three diesel favorites: Sour Diesel, Strawberry Diesel and NYC Diesel, which is apparent in its sweet, stinky aroma. If you like that diesel kick, both in aroma and head effects, this is the trifecta for you.

Eaton Botanicals [July 8, 2024]
Class is in session. Here’s the Good Grades review of Eaton Botanicals new Gal Pal and Daily Elevation edibles! This week, budtender Melody is reviewing the Gal Pal (Watermelon) and Daily Elevation (peach) flavors of Eaton Botanical’s 5 mg gummies (1:1 THC/CBD) (Hybrid).
Gal Pal (Watermelon) by Eaton Botanicals
“Ladies these are your new best friend for anytime of the month. Infused with CBD and magnolia bark extract, chasteberry, vitamin B6. I feel like the components in here also help with bloodflow, and relief from inflammation. Even if you’re not on your period, it’s a good experience. And you still get that buzz from the 5 mg dosage of THC.” – Melody from Good Grades dispensary
Daily Elevation (Peach) by Eaton Botanicals
“I feel like this is similar to a sativa strain. It has 280 mg of Cordyceps, which is a mushroom extract that’s not psychedelic. The benefits are giving energy, elevation, and motivation to start your day!”
Melody, Good Grades
