Went to GoldFlower before heading up for Thanksgiving to snag some deals.
Ended up getting some G8 for only $15, and some Gelato Kushmints for around $37.
G8 is 24% thc and 2.13% terps, harvested end of September
Gelato is 25% at 3.14% harvest early October.
G8 is smaller nugs, but they are bright and colorful with some nice orange hairs.
Smell is STRONG of fruity pebbles, but with a very unique alcohol-like sour that I was able to get some others to smell as well.
Gelato is 1 huge nug and 2 smaller ones. Smell is also very strong, less on the fruity, more on the peppery, but that similar sourness to it as well.
This bud is large dark and sticky, some small purple specks with dark orange hairs. Reminds me of some pre-legality dank outdoor grows I used to get when I was younger.
I can't express how much these flowers smell. It basically nauseated the household when I whipped it out and I had to keep it locked away in my suitcase but that really didn't do any good.
I can't see a huge difference in quality between the G8 and the Gelato, despite the difference in price.
I'd highly recommend GoldFlower. They hit somethin a little different than most of these other dispensaries.
I'm always pleased when the nose hits a different note than what I'm used to.

My experience today was very dissatisfactory. Went to TL for $15 eights, oh we sold out of those on Friday...went to Fluent...only 3 sugars above 80%, again we got nailed this week....Green Dragon, similar only 3 1/8's of what I wanted, although they said they didn't even get a shipment this week. The drawback of not being in a big city....I bet all the big cities had plenty of stock the whole long weekend

It does seem high traffic areas get favored for stock. Not even at an appropriate ratio.My experience today was very dissatisfactory.

I’ve seen people having trouble getting certain items that I have no problem with.
Sorry to hear that!

A good thing that happened was that when I got the flower from Green Dragon, upon getting home, I grabbed one of the 1/8's and immediately I was like this is heavy...and then remembered hearing that Green Dragon 1/8's come in glass jars and indeed they do...VERY nice touch.

Been back to Goldflower a few times now, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Their "Ideal" brand is their main high quality top tier line.
Then they have some other brands and some other lines. I'm not sure I totally understand the full system yet.
"Ideal" has been the best though so far.
The others I've gotten have been great smelling, great looking, and great vaping, but there is a lower quality taste to it that I've seen some other dispensaries get as well. It's almost like the gassy flavor was over or under cured, and gives more of a soily flavor.
But, by far the best part of the experience so far, has been the support from the budtenders.
I've only interacted with two people, but one in particular has been fantastic.
I currently have a strain (Coco Chanel) that is that classic orange-cream type flavor that I've found in a few strains now.
They have another strain (Positive Mental Attitude), which is very high in "terpinolene", which can also give off that same flavor.
Wanting some variety, I asked the lady if this terpinolene dominant strain (PMA) was the same type of orange as the other strain I have (CC).
She immediately knew what I was referring to, actually called CC more "grape", which I can definitely taste now that I have it in my head, and she told me the PMA was more of that classic jack-herer, sharp type of citrus, not the smooth citrus of CC.
I knew right away what she was describing, so I confidently grabbed it, and it was absolutely exactly what she described.
It is very refreshing having someone who actually understands flavors, terpenes, and their own product.
The buds are very flavorful, very sativa-y looking, and quite hairy for dispensary buds.
A win for sativas.
I also noticed they had a strain called "onions" or something like that, and assumed it was from a GMO cross, and she knew right away that is what it stemmed from.
As I think I've said, the first time I brought up terpenes she goes "oh let me whip out the spreadsheet for you", which had them all laid out by percentage and price.
I then asked about concentrates, and she goes "personally, I'm going home with some Scooby Snacks Rosin Badder tonight". 8% terpenes, Limonene leading iirc, I said sign me up.
That rosin is fantastic, and definitely comparable to Sunburn Rosin. It is also 90u, and was only $36 discounted.
It is a gassy strain, but instead of coming through as just gas, or often a bit of a burny taste that I get from gassy strains, it's pungent but smooth and complex. Flavor holds consistently through a session.
I previously grabbed one of their "Jams", and similar to Sunburn, I couldn't get great flavor out of it.
It starts melting very quickly and at lower temps compared to badder, and I just can't consistently squeeze flavor out of that yet. The smell was great though, and the flavor was great on very low temps. Just didn't hold.
The main takeaways from my visits so far have been
Interact with the staff (assuming all stores are this good)
"Ideal" is great
"Ideal BZ" are their smalls, also great, and better than full sized from their other brands in my short experience
Badder is fantastic so far, but will avoid jams
Deals more often than they initially lead me to believe
Main popular strains are often excluded from deals unless it's storewide
Look at the hairs!!
