Jack Flash is Back!

[lampost]

Eh.. I tried it. It's not bad. Not to be an asshole, but I don't think it's quite competition bud. It's hydro!

The best Jack I got in there was from a vendor back at the end of November... and I remember you had your in-house a few weeks later and said it was better, but I thought the vendor stuff was WAY better.

I'm guessing it was just a one-off then from a vendor that's not a regular. Sounds like you don't have it anymore.

The soil-grown was way denser and much TASTIER.

^Hey I forgot to add that this does have nice potency though... which may be the only thing some people are concerned with.

My experience with this strain finds me giving it a "C".

Really? Lol, nice I guess. That's the best part about Herb in my opinion- That is, to each his/her own.:jointsmile: I felt that way about the OG that everyone was getting off on, meanwhile my GF swears on her life it was some of the best she has ever smoked.:thumbsup: Everything is going to hit people differently (don't even get me started on how most edibles I've tried make me sleepy and/or sick :wtf Peace, love and dankness for everybody!

But steve, kindreviews gave it an A

This reminds me of when the Strainman was so excited about Tangerine Haze from up in the mountains. I traveled the 3 1/2 hours round trip and found some great smoke but really, the Tangerine Haze was good but for me not the come to Jesus strain I was hoping for.

I follow strain reviews to give me insight, chances are if a dispensary has one quality strain they have several. I will visit a place because of a good strain review and then choose using my own senses.

It is soooo subjective about what is the difference between an A+, A or B strain.

Reenster, exactly. I use reviews in the same sense but like I said, I agree with you. One thing EVERYONE has to remember is reviews are unique and individual to the reviewer. It's all preference, perception and an individuals expectations. I know when I went to Bryans for some Urkle, that was the highest expectations I've had yet for some herb and I WAS NOT let down, however it wasn't my "jesus stain". I give the urkle easily an A- although, I can see how people would give it an A, A+ or even B+. The jack flash? I would also give that an A-. Everyone will have their own expectations for an A+ strain but I don't think any dispensaries should be offended for anything above a B+. Furthermore, I like most have smoked a LOT of different herb from dispensaries, and I want to say that 75% of their "A" strains in my world would be a B strain yet I don't complain.

I think the price war is interesting- I've seen places that I would observe have higher overhead costs and still charging 50$ an eight where other places with obvious low overhead cost/simple set ups charging 60$. But that's where I put their herb where their mouth is. If I have 2 strains that I though were legitimately an A in my book and one was 60$ and the other 50$, well the 50$ one get's the A, and the 60$ gets an A- for real.


I've since stopped posting my reviews here because I can't help but to think whether these places really genuwinly want to know what their REAL customers opinion are or if they would rather read reviews done by people who have external influences (free herb, advertising money, PR etc) that will impair their non-biasness. I remember reading KR site almost over a year ago, and now I take the reviews with HUGE grains of salt because it's obvious there's a lot of ad revenue coming in which might impact the reviewers opinion. :hippy:

That's why we post here, mainly because no one pulls any punches. Some of the best feedback you can get. You should see our thread over @ DailyBuds. It's brutal.

Thank you for the feedback, it's good to understand your perceptions of our site and reviews has changed. I will always appreciate further insight if and when you want to offer it ([email protected]). :thumbsup:

To your point I want to make sure we are very clear on how we operate. We were approached by two dispensaries asking to advertise and we didn't. They kept asking and we decided that it wasn't a bad thing, it will help us further our mission, afford testing in the future, sponsor charity events, etc. so we built the ad admin into our site. I want everyone to take note of who has advertised on our site and the grades they have been given. CAM was the first to pay us, they have NEVER received an "A" and have 2 "B" grades to date. The Releaf Center has not advertised with us, they have received back to back "A" grades. Delta 9 advertises with us, they have one of the 4 "C+" grades we've given out of 100 strains. We've actually disallowed reviewsers from reviewing certain stuff because they have become friends with the owners.

Obviously people react differently and there is no way to have a review without incorporating one's opinion. If a person doesn't like our opinion and finds they consistently get opposing results on their own then they shouldn't read our reviews (funny how some people on hear don't like us and yet continue to have our name in their mouth and know what grades we gave to who - seems like a waste of their time, no?). Other people will find they agree with what we are saying and go to us regularly - and we get emails from those people thanking us for what we do. Some people have truly confused themselves on what we do - we tell people what we think, we don't tell other people what to think. Unfortunately not everyone on this site or others are as mature or as respectful of other humans beings in that light. One avenue we have taken to combat the "personal effect" is to have multiple reviewers review every strain on their own, and then review it on multiple occassions. We still write as an "I" most of the time because it's more personal but if it only did one thing to one person and two or three others it did not, we won't write that into the review, or we will clearly lable it as such "we saw one account of yadda yah".

The reality is that we haven't found another site or group that has visited more dispensaries and smoked more strains from those dispensaries than what we have. So, even if you know that you personally disagree with our "taste and smell" regularly it could still be of benefit to compare our reviews across a sampling of what you may pick up today because we stay consistent and we've collected samples/reviews at such depth and breadth. Everyday we work to enlargen that base so people just like the ones on this forum have more information to use for themselves. It would be a sad day for all of us at KindReviews to learn that any people viewed us as a demigogue and digested our reviews with no thoughts on their own. The whole MMJ movement is about thinking, about alternatives, about options - those are core to KindReviews as well.

PS - KR.com doesn't receive enough monthly revenue to pay for one apartment lease. I could mow lawns for a month and make more money The real bias (and completely understandable) comes from parents talking about their own kids - read growers and shop owners discussing their own product. That's not even debatable.

Thanks for the kind words MB, and I agree. Shoot man, I tell everyone that the HARDEST, and I mean HARDEST hitting indica type of herb (who knows WFT it really was) I have EVER smoked was some home grown stuff in Arizona that looked like shit, and had almost no taste. It was unreal. We started watching the movie "Training Day", and almost two hours later I "came to" and realized that I had thought the movie was real life, and I had somehow been riding around with the two of them!! :stoned:

And this was after ONE hit at a time when I'd do in an 1/8 of good stuff a day. So what would that get as a rating? It was an "F' on the looks, smell and taste scale, but the high was the most potent my wife or I have ever experienced, even 10 years later. I ignorantly decided to take a couple of rips before I went home. It was a quick 10 minute drive, but it took nearly an hour, and I have no idea where I was or what I was doing. I could barely move. The wife was hella pissed, UNTIL she hit it, and then she went from awake and livid to flat ass mumbling in about 5 minutes.

And there's more stories to tell, but that should suffice. What I saying is it's all up to the person as far as the high goes. It hits us all differently. BUT, there are other things to be considered if we must rate weed, which I again argue is borderline pointless UNLESS you are a person who smokes a bunch of the world's best herb all the time and have the skills to interpret certain things.

This herb looks nice, has a good cure to it, okay aroma. BUT, there is little to no taste, and of course that means that you'll have the ashy after taste, so it's a wide swing. I tried another bowl last night and got very little out of it.

Maybe this is one that is lost on me? But based on taste alone, there is NO WAY that this is an "A" along the line of CCF's "Urkel OGK".

NO WAY.
