This was a free sample. It's in the title, and I'm saying it here. If the idea of reviews of free samples aren't your thing, you shouldn't have even made it this far.
I was going to post a review of Chip's budget Sour Diesel next, but he got me samples of strains he actually currently has so I'll be looking at his Bubba Kush today. Bottom line on this one - decent looking buds for the price, and a good indica/evening strain for relaxing with friends or winding down before bed. Pics in the listings are pretty accurate, but here's mine anyway: http://anony.ws/image/D1xG | http://postimg.org/image/a5fx28alr

Comments:
I plan to continue to do these reviews for Chip's products, so hopefully the table above is helping avoid confusion. I think most everything is covered above or below, except pricing of actual listings, which are:
Weight | 3.5 | 7 | 14 | 28 | 112 |
Price | $35 | $65 | $120 | $220 | $800 |
I have some of his recent OG Kush at the same pricing, but he already sold out of it. That bud was also a pretty decent smoke for the price - from what I've seen so far Chip's $200-220/oz listings are fairly priced and a great option if that's your budget.
Strain Summary:
Strain | Bubba Kush - https://www.leafly.com/indica/bubba-kush |
Bud Size: | Small-ish |
Smell: | Pretty standard "kush smell" - a little earthy, a little sweet. |
Trim: | Just a bit leafy. |
Trichomes: | Not super-frosty, but not scarce either. |
Seeds: | None |
Stems: | None |
Smoked: | I actually smoked this throughout the day on Saturday - usually indicas like this are relegated to night-time use, but it wasn't going to be an active day. Turned out great... this stuff isn't as potent as top-shelf listings, but packs a good enough punch of the price and due to the more mellow stone it made for a nice relaxing day. |
Vaped: | Again, I usually don't vape indicas but, hey, for some reason I just got nuts on Saturday and went for it (yes, that's nuts for me... going indica in a clear sativa/hybrid situation). Taste through the vape had a little more character to it - that familiar pine flavor. I've had cheaper bud produce harsher vapor on me, but not with this one, so that deserves mention. |
Other: | I admit I'm rushing this review a bit. I keep missing Chip's listings with my reviews, and, obviously, reviews aren't worth as much if you can't actually get your hands on the product. |

Disclosure
My intentions are to honestly review any product I receive, whether I paid for it or not, and my hope is these reviews will help buyers make informed decisions on which vendors and products they spend their money on. I will do my best to call out any part of any transaction that could compromise the integrity of a given review, and will provide as much information as possible while protecting the security of myself as a buyer as well as the vendor (and/or market).
