WA probably has the best haze offerings of any rec market I’ve seen. Most big brands have at least one or two different cuts. If you’re ever out here I can provide some good recommendations.
In defense of overgrown genetics, when in the hands of an individual who is breeding and selecting over generations, a strain can be quite different from what is on dispensary shelves. I had Ice Cream Cake from a grower in Michigan who had bred it to do well outdoors. It looked like nothing special at all, because he didnt care about bag appeal. I thought it would be junk until I smoked some. The overly grown strains are overly commercialized, which kills quality.

But I also agree that it is 100% how it’s grown, dried, cured and stored.
Like the re-branded Cap Junky that Strane is selling as Alien Mints is fucking incredible. I bet if Sira Naturals grew it through it would be shit.
Side note: I think there’s a lurker on here for the people who work for Strane or the dispensary I usually get Alien Mints from because I could’ve sworn the description for the Alien Mints was way less descriptive and has changed to provide info about the lineage and how it was originally called Cap Junky after I asked about where can I get seeds.
Ice Cream Cake had seed releases, so there are lots of cuts of it running around out there. There are a few with tags I’m aware of like the phinest cut, boones farm cut and probably plenty more. I’ve never gotten up with an ICC cut because it seems a little played out.
@GroovyOctopusLabs do you want the Cap Junky cut? I dropped it because it’s a little bit finicky and slower in veg but I have access to it if you really want it. If you treat her right in early flower, she crushes. I found the flavor a little bland myself but most people who tried it were only focused on the potency and frost levels. My picture doesn’t do the frost justice but here you go
