Watermelon Hurricane by Redemption Botanicals review. Says fantastic taste, which translates to smell. Described as jolly ranchers. Described as terpy.

From Youtube:

From Cannabis Critique’s review video:

Watermelon Hurricane is a strain from Redemption Botanicals that crosses Watermelon Zkittles x (Watermelon Zkittles x Tropical Zkittles). This batch tested in at 14.9% THC and I purchased it at Mystic Greens in Belleville, IL.

LOOK: 9/10

SMELL: 9.6/10

BREAK-UP: 8.5/10

TASTE: 9.4/10

HIGH: 8.9/10

OVERALL: 9/10...Great example of how THC percentage does not indicate quality. I found this to be quite potent but short lived buzz with high energy and mood boosting properties.

Watch through YouTube to accept the age restriction!

Respect the Terps

What are Terpenes, and what do Terpenes do in cannabis?

Terpenes are natural compounds found in many plants and animals. Like in most plants, cannabis terpenes are responsible for the smell and taste. Cannabis terpenes also add to the effects - you may even find terps more important than total cannabinoids when it comes to finding your favorite strains. Here's a couple common cannabis terpenes, and their typical effects:

Myrcene. Smells: Earthy, floral, cloves. Effect: Anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxant, sedative. Also Found in hops, lemon grass and mango!
Limonene: Smells: Lemon, citrus, orange. Effect: Anti-depressant, Antifungal, gastroprotective, immunostimulant. Also found in citrus rinds, juniper and peppermint.
Caryophyllene. Smells: Pepper, wood, spice. Effects: Anti-inflammatory, Protects gastro lining cells, Anti-depressant, Anti-septic. Also found in: Black pepper, Thai basil and cloves.
Linalool. Smells: Floral, sweet, citrus. Effect: Anti-convulsant, anti-epileptic, sedative. Also found in: Lavendar, laurel, and mints.
A-Pinene. Smells: Pine, wood, mountain air. Anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, energy booster, aids memory. Also found in: Pine needles, orange peels and parsley.

These are just a few of the many terpenes you will run into when checking out cannabis. Researching terpenes is a great way to better understand your favorite strains, and find new ones to try.

As you can probably tell by now, terpenes are an important part of quality cannabis. It’s always our goal to cultivate the best cannabis possible, and it starts with respecting the terps. They make our products delicious, potent, and overall more enjoyable.

Check out some of our tested terps below:

Stay Puft: 4.92% Terpenes. Top Terps: β-Myrcene,1 Limonene, cis-Ocimene
Garlic Gravity. 3.1% Terpenes. Top Terps: β-Myrcene, β-Caryophyllene, Limonene
J41: 3.24% Terpenes. Top Terps: β-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Linalool
Sherb Cream Pie: 4.53% Terpenes. Top Terps: β-Myrcene, β-Caryophyllene, Limonene
