Quoted with GaiaGarden's consent from the 'Newbie discussion' board:
So I'm a new vendor. I'm a small time grower who has ten years experience growing indoor. Have about ten free 1 gram samples of Alaskan Ice or Prophet to give out, Maybe a few more. If you get a sample please post on here. Please message me on SR. I will send you a link to a page with 0btc charge. I will try to get the samples out asap, Friday at the latest. As of right now most samples I would like to keep domestic, but will consider a few international.
I will eventually have some Ketamine, MDMA, and Honey Butane Oil....Some samples may be available in the future.
Thanks for reading the post and remember to post your reviews here and leave positive feedback if you like the product.

Here's my review of the samples I received from the new cannabis vendor Gaia Garden. GG sent me very generous samples of two different strains- Alaskan Ice and Prophet. He is a cool guy to talk with and is definitely very knowledgeable about what he does. Judging from the quality and generosity of the samples he provided, it's safe to say GG is fully committed to his customers' satisfaction and to building a successful business here on SR. I'm happy to be one of the first to give him the praise he deserves. I have a feeling there will be many more to come.
On to the review...
Shipping (5/5) - I placed my order for the samples late Thursday night/early Friday morning. GG informed me that he would put the package in the mail first thing that morning. It arrived today, Monday, so he was definitely on top of it. No worries in this department. You should have no issues with shipping/response time when dealing with GG.
Stealth/Packaging (5/5) - This was very well done, as well. The outside of the package was inconspicuous and discreet, with printed labels and clean, professional packaging methods. No sloppy tape, rips, etc. On the inside, it was similarly well done. I had asked GG to label the samples, which he did, and they were double vac sealed with plenty of visual barrier on all sides. The visual barrier also doubled as a clever way to add a little more weight to the package, making it seem like something else entirely. Not a bit of smell until breaking the last seal on the buds. Again, no worries in this department. GG has you taken care of.
Product (5/5) - The first sample that I tried was the Alaskan Ice. Clearnet pic -----> http://i.imgur.com/eLE3yVb.jpg
I am somewhat familiar with this strain, but it has been quite some time since I have had the chance to get my hands on some. I was quickly reminded of what a great strain this is. Upon initial inspection, I was greeted with a pungent, spicy aroma. The undertones were almost skunk-like, but not quite; I would describe them as piney. It was sort of like what you would envision an exotic rainforest to smell like; just really bright and clean. The buds are a mixture of light and mid green with bright orange hairs crawling all over. These buds were given a nice trim job, as well. Properly cured, with a nice density, but just the right amount of "give" when giving the bud a gentle squeeze. The bud is coated with a thick layer of sticky trichs. And I mean STICKY. It is so sticky that it is almost a bit of a chore to grind up, but nevertheless it ground up pretty well and, as expected, produced a very nice amount of kief. I can't imagine trying to break this bud down by hand.
The Alaskan Ice has a taste that is similar to its smell. There is more of a fresh, earthy undertone on inhale, while the exhale provides the pleasant spiciness that is present in the scent. After vaping a good sized bowl, the high crept up and set in quickly. The sativa dominance was apparent almost immediately as a warm, euphoric state of mind took over. Just a bright, clean high with a nice alertness and sense of awareness. Best described as a "soaring" type of high, in my opinion. The indica traits are noticeable as well, although obviously less so. But you still get a nice bit of stoniness that sets in later on in the high and provides a bit of a mellow, relaxed feeling. However, the cerebral effects are on full display at all times and are clearly the redeeming quality of this strain. A very enjoyable strain to experience.
I moved on to the Prophet a few hours later. Clearnet pic -----> http://i.imgur.com/aNReoHO.jpg
This was my first experience with this strain, and it definitely did not disappoint. This strain had less of a pungent aroma than the AI, but it's still worthy of noting. The scent was slightly more musty, although not overpowering, with floral hints. Also a bit of a hash undertone. The bud is a bright lime green with reddish-orange pistils curled around it. A bit more leafy than the AI, but still well trimmed, and covered with glistening trichs. The Prophet was quite a bit more dense than the AI as well. These are some rock hard nuggets. They were clearly well taken care of during every step of the growing process.
I broke out my glass for this strain since my girlfriend had commandeered my vape. The inhale was smooth, but potent. The taste was quite the contrast to the AI, with the main difference being the dominating presence of kush. Upon exhale, a bit of citrus is noticeable, along with the undertones of hash that are present in the scent. A nice lung expander, for sure. The bud was flushed properly and burned to a light white ash. The high was also in direct contrast to the AI. This is an indica dominant strain which provides a mellow, peaceful full body experience. The heady buzz is still there in nice balance, but the relaxing, somewhat narcotic effects are what this strain is all about. I sank into the couch after smoking and was just in one of those familiar trances. Fairly long lasting effects, as well, when compared to many other modern strains. Another very enjoyable experience.
Overall (5/5) - I am very impressed with Gaia Garden. He delivered in every aspect of the transaction, and I would certainly not hesitate to do business with him in the future. As I stated earlier, he was very generous with his samples. Thanks for that, GG. I fully expect him to be successful here on SR if he continues to provide product and service of this quality. Thanks again GG, and I look forward to dealing with you again sometime soon.

Well, I got lost in the mix for free samples. When I chose to buy an oz of Prophet, GaiaGarden was nice enough to throw in a nice-sized sample of the Alaskan Ice as well. He was very prompt and professional. I received the pack and was happy with the stealth. I had no worries in that department. DoTheDamnThing did a great job describing both strains, so I won't elaborate too much. When I opened the vac containing the Prophet, you could definitely recognize the Bubba Kush lines in this strain by the smell. I had one nug that weighed close to 4.5g, other wise they ranged from popcorn sized to 3g. A really nice high on three hits (again, similar to Bubba). It seemed a little dry, but smoked really well, with little waste. A decent trim, and really nice cure.
The Alaskan Ice is very distinct. Like DTDT said, a spicy undertone that you can definitely taste and smell...peppery. A unique aroma and flavor. A decent amount of expansion in the lungs. A really nice Sativa high from this one. It's not overpowering, but very enjoyable and uplifting...a little shorter lived than Prophet. An alert high that definitely hits your frontal lobe and sinus areas, as any good Sativa will.
Potency scale: Alaskan Ice - 4.75/5 Prophet - 4.7/5 *Note* 5 is considered 'Diggity Dank Top Shelf' and 4 is considered 'Nice Greenhouse' I haven't given a 5 for potency yet. If you've read any of my other reviews, you'd know that both of these strains joined those at the top of my list thus far.
Overall, GaiaGarden proved to me they know what they're doing. Shipping was good, communication was good, the product is exactly as described. Gaia's price point is on par with others, and the herb is worth a try. I am happy with my transaction, and believe you will be too. I will most definitely be back. He gets a thumbs up!
-
OK, gotta try, seeing if they will combine shipping on a gm of each. Hope so!!! Thanks for the review

Alright fellas. I have received the free samples from Gaia Garden. Received it international within 7 days.
Firstly: THANK YOU very much Gaia Garden for the free samples. I got 2g each!! The packaging was really stealth.
Both strains are killer potent IMO. The Prophet especially is filled with copious amount of crystals, and is super duper potent. Alaskan Ice is amazing also, with its clear, cerebral high.
When I was vaping the Prophet, I did find its taste to be a bit strong. But with the strong taste, its high is matched proportionately! ;D
Again, my sincere thanks to Gaia Garden for the free samples! :) And yes, I will be ordering from you in the near future for sure!
-
Just a Heads up that the BHO EarWax is back in a limited supply.
-
just curious if there are any more samples left?
-
The Prophet was some of the best pot ever! Is that gonna be available again?
-
Are you doing anymore cheap samples international ;)
-
guys, the BHO is HIGHLY recommended... do yourself a favor and grab a 3g listing, you will be so glad you did.. this stuff is top notch, hands-down, bomb wax... normally i get bored smoking 8 or 9 g of a single type of concentrate like this, but i was DEEPLY upset when i did my last dab of this.. if i had coin i'd be all over it..
-
Sorry no more samples as of right now. Might do another round here shortly, to get business going again once I am stocked up. Do Have BHO Earwax and Ketamine.
-
Alaskan Ice will be listed by the end of the week.
