WARNING: Coming to a town near you- Beasters

Kind of hard to tell. It looks a lighter green than the current batch going around, but that could just be lighting. To be sure if you have this current batch, you only have to follow a few simple steps.
1. Does it resemble the pictures that I (and others) have posted? In real life if you have had beasters, you will recognize it instantly. It's unmistakable.

Now, after following that step, you can rule it out being beasters if it has any of the following:
a smell
a taste
if it burns properly to a light gray-white ash (normally it burns black/very dark grey)
a high grade high (if you've never experienced real dank, you won't know)
a nice comedown

You will know instantly if it's this batch by being disappointed. Sure, it looks good, so you would assume it must be pretty good right? You'd expect it to taste like dank weed. Have a pungent smell when you open the bag or the container it's in. But no matter how large the amount, there is no smell.

I can see this being beneficial for the ones exporting it, and for those importing it themselves. Who knows what they do to achieve this. Seriously, buds are supposed to have a smell, especially big fat pretty buds, but no... just a faint hay smell.

wow that shit is still floating around...i had some like that at the end of my last semester of school...which had to be like may 20 something and its still out there damn....

BEASTERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nor cal dont need that shit!!

beasters have nothing to do with quality all they refer to is mass produced weed from canada.

Beasters usually look dank and some can get you as high as lower chronic and others get you high as schwag. The most recent beasters i smoked got me more high than I was smoking out of upper mids, which i both smoked out of my bong.

But from previous times i smoked beasters i have disappoints and few other times where i blazed out of my mind. Thats why i smoke beasters when my friends buy and have already tried because i do not trust it.

wow, just saw this thread and holy shit....me and 2 of my buds at school would pay $90/quarter for this...and we first thought "wow, this is gunna be sick, 2-3 hits and we're done"....3 bowls later we were left scratchin our heads.

nice to know what the problem was.

There's good Canadian commercial that we refer to as 'Nooks' around here in MA.
The Beasters in question cross the border ALREADY kiefed- it's not the US dealers doing it.
Nooks are NEVER kiefed off; they still retain the right level of crystals on the outer surfaces of the buds, and tend to have a richer smell than Beasters.

Beasters seem like a rip off, especially for the price people charge for them ($40-50) for an eighth. If people are living in the South part of the US I'm sure they can find a good deal on some outdoor sinsemilla (what I call mids) that tastes like non-fertilized weed and gets you pretty high after a bowl for a much cheaper price. I've bought beasters before that were pretty good, but it seems like there is some sort of massive rip-off going on in the states according to this thread.

well here in northern california we dont have the whole 'beasters' thing. but im definetely familiar with it, ive been to chicago and all over. yeah dude, that sucks when you get some chemically produced shit that looks 'ok' i can tell by those pics that the buds are fried. i feel sorry for smokers who live in a cannabis nonfriendly area. 350$/oz for that?!? holy s*** i can get an ounce of the TOP NOTCH for 3-, but thats still a little pricey for me. hey man i have smoked some green brick weed that laid me out-LATE

Yeah, the comedown sucks on this current massive "batch". Luckily I haven't bought it in over a month. Just actual dank :rasta:

Yeah, this is definitely not Canada's fault... you're right. Its the fucking triads here who mass produce this garbage for domestic use and export.

Although it isn't called pretendica, or beasters... this bunk-ass weed is known around here as Toronto Hydro...

Toronto Hydro (marijuana) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've had more than my fair share of experience with this shit... it circulates around the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) constantly, mostly grown in the local suburbs, like my hometown of Mississauga. This stuff is absolute garbage. It will get complete noob kids high, which is why it seems to be such a big hit with the high school crowd here.

I had to, in extreme dry periods at school, smoke this trash, and also make it available to others. I felt terrible letting people smoke this crap, but thats why I distributed it for dirt cheap.

I always thought this stuff originated in Ontario, but I don't know about the quality of weed destined for American export in B.C. The weed that I've had the opportunity to smoke from B.C. has always been dank-ass shit... never trash. Like you said, don't judge Canadian weed by the shit that gets exported. Ontario and B.C. grow some of the finest buds around... you just need to know where to find it. Anything that's destined for export is going to usually be mass-produced garbage.

this sounds dumb... its not mass produced

hey im from canada too and i used to see that shit every single day at my school until some real hook ups came...smells kinda like a lil leather, and does absolutely nothing but give you a slight buzz then a burnout

alot of the bud i get is grown by the vietnamese and its all really good at good prices 120-160 an oz ,but if u guys are willing to pay 50 an eighth for UNFLUSHED pot ,then no wonder they do it .One more thing is they dont actually kief it , its like that at harvest trust me i know im from bc ,they have no reason to kief it when u guys are paying 50 an eighth for it

this is a dumb thread.. and horror business, u dont know wut ur talking about

Ok,a few years ago I took a vacation to California,on the greyhound,and I had a 2 hour layover in San Francisco.I didn't bring any herbs with me on the trip,and I really wanted to score some Good California dank.Well,I hung out around the bus station,and kinda asked around,and some crack head dude whipped out a bag of some fire looking herbs.He said it was Humbolts finest,and he would sell me an eight for 60 bucks.I was like hell yeah,that shit looks dank.So anyways,I found a ally,and whipped out the bag.ok,first of all I noticed it didn't have a smell at all,nada.So I preceded to roll up a small joint of the shit,and from the first toke,I noticed a horrible sulphur taste,and by then I knew I'd been had.As bad as it was,I smoked the whole joint,and Got nothing at all from it.I mean,I didn't even get a mild buzz,nothing whatsoever.I was so pissed,and I thought maybe it was some creeper,so I rolled another small one,and I still was totally sober.Here is my opinion on the whole thing,it's not cannabis at all,it's those legal herbs,made to look like real weed.I mean,if it was remotely real cannabis,you'd at least get a mild buzz,or something,you know?The moral of the story is,don't buy herbs from random crack heads on the streets of San Fran,and if it doesn't smell,or tastes like sulphur,it ain't real herbs.I'm glad I saw this post,because I never have forgotten getting ripped off on that trip,several years back.PEACE

I'm from Toronto, and that stuff is always around. Hate it. However there is stuff that looks just like it that's good.

Ok,I just checked out the monster smoke shop.com,on this site,and those fake buds they offer look exactly like what I got in California.Check out the blueberry stuff,looks like good dank buds.I believe people are buying that shit,and selling it as real buds.If offered to you in a dark lit area,in the bag,you wouldn't be able to tell.And even in a well lit area,that looks like real herbs.So i believe that's most deff what I got in California.Do you guys think it's actual real herbs that those dealers are selling,or the fake "legal" herbs?

that crap is grown in T dot i think im from sw ont its everywhere, we call that shit nipp weed cuz nips grow it lol

^^^^ what the fuk is a nip??

yeah, over the summer i bought a 1/2 of "kush" for 150 (wisconsin), shit didn't get anyone i know high, or myself.. now when i buy bud, i bring my bowl and test it out, id rather waste 5 bucks on a bowl then 50 on an eigth..

the weed i have right now sucks it dont look as good as that but it crackled when i smoked it and the ashes are black and look like a ball of tar. shitty weed.

Beasters is actually a term bud that comes from a strain of weed called M-39 that is actually fairly potent. The name Beasters was applied to this type of weed because it is often harvested far too early; that explains the lack of high, or draining effect you describe. It is created solely for mass-production, so it is also handled a lot. I have come across this bud before; it is highly identifiable by its looks and the fact that it does crackle. At first I thought it was because of ferts and nutes, but now I know better. Avoid this weed at all costs, unless you wanna try and land some seeds for the future and raise the strain as it should be.

I'm still trying to get to the bottom of what strain this actually is. I have heard it is M39. I don't know if this is true because I've smoked real homegrown M39. It smelled sweet and had big calyxs covered in trichomes, and it got me pretty stoned. Now obviously it was grown until maturity and flushed, harvested, and cured properly which makes a difference, but compared to the beasters that are apparently M39, I noticed no resemblance to the real M39. M39 is Skunk #1 x Northern Lights #5 by the way.

Now, apparently this strain of beasters is harvested around 40 days. I've heard from real growers that have grown real M39 that it can be picked so early because it bulks up so quickly but it is not really ready until around 77 days. If this beasters strain IS m39, that would make sense on why it sucks, and why it's just a bunch of red hairs and no large calyxs.

I've also heard that the strain is BC Big Bud. This would make sense considering the beasters buds are usually very huge and dense.

I've also heard its BC Biker Bud, or Fresland.

Perhaps someone from Toronto can shed some light on the actual strain of that shit that's been being exported to the U.S. for the past few years.

I've had 7 gram nugs and seen up to 14 gram nugs, so no matter what it has to be a strain that will grow very rapidly with extreme density well before harvest time. If you can get in touch with SubCool, then he can probably solve the mystery for you.

I've heard from a Toronto Grower that the Vietnamese grow the M39 (the red haired weed), and the bikers grow the other lighter green beasters.

He claims they pick it at 6 weeks, and that's why it sucks. He claims when he grows the same clone, he lets it go for 8-9 weeks and it doesn't suck.

Like I said, I've heard from real (not commercial) growers that M39 produces huge buds fast, but isn't really ready until 8-9 weeks, even though it will have huge buds by week 6.

However, I've also heard that the strain is actually a cross of M39 and BC Big Bud. Like coledog855 said, it has to be a strain that will grow very rapidly with extreme density well before harvest time. I too have had extremely large buds up to 12 grams.

I want to solve this mystery, because I want to grow this strain the right way. Why? Because I believe it has a lot of potential. The reason it sucks, is because it's harvested at week 6 of flowering, it isn't flushed, harvested, or cured properly. Nevertheless it produces huge buds.

Well, imagine doing it the right way. I'm sure it would be a nice smoke.

Good luck getting a hold of the seeds. I'd imagine that most that you'd find (which isn't much) would be immature.

No. For one, if it is M-39, then that is a common strain. Sensi Seeds sells Shiva Skunk and it's the same thing (Skunk 1 x Northern Lights 5).

I'm not planning on growing bagseed from beasters, I'm planning on getting either seeds or a cutting.

By the way, I just got confirmation that the popular strain that we are seeing everywhere is indeed M-39 produced in Ontario by the Vietnamese but not exclusively. It's extremely popular with them and is grown by many and turns out the same via it being a cutting, and the growers all follow a specific formula as far as nutrients.

also, the only reason why this bud is being mass produced because its ready to smoke in 6 weeks.. not because they dont care, but because it takes so short to grow and its mass produced, so just stfu and stop complaining.

Actually I do know what I'm talking about. I don't state things that I don't know or speculation. You need to chill out, learn how to spell, and smoke a joint.

yo dominion they do pack those buds with nutes, and it is for the money so you STFU

wtf shh why, yes bleap out the possible information might be helpfull. lol.:thumbsup:

I picked up O of beasters a few weeks back. It was in vacuum bag and not quite cured fully, still a bit wet. Other than that, it was the best aroma I had ever gotten and best taste I had ever smoked. I personally loved it and wish I had some pics. Paid 250.

If it has an excellent aroma and taste, it's not Beasties. Not all BC-grown herb sucks... :D
Beasters refers to a SPECIFIC type of product that has been a) harvested early and b) mishandled in some way during processing. This can be packing wet, not curing, and even kiefing off.

Hey guys just weighing in on the subject the way things are done up there is by a rating scale the bottom of the barrel is rated A then it gets progresivly better up to AAA from there it goes into exotics belive it or not canada does mass produce some exotic and high grade weed for export. judging by the picture it looks like single A grade beasters. If you are getting that now ask who ever you are getting it from to get you some lemon lime or some freezeland. he or she will know what you are talking about or someone up the line can ask for it. its much better quality and shouldnt be that much more out of pocket.By the way its silly to think that all the beast is produced by vietnamise gangs sounds like a article i read somewhere. peace

i see way to much of these sooo call beasters.

i don't buy them. One of the main reasons i decided to start to grow my own. I don't get high off it, its super harsh, doesn't taste that great, usually wet.

Now i enjoy much better pot, which is dry and fluffy, burns great, and gets me SMACKED.

I rather smoke the resin of the pot i have now, rather than the beasters.

Damn I just of a ounce of BEASTERS! it looks real good? However I payed 325 for it.The reason I paid so much for it was becuase I couldn't find anything else.It's ok bud, but I have had better.

Umm... how does that weed look good? That weed looks like crap. Of course it doesn't get you that high.
