Granola Funk

Intro: So due to being the third reviewer of this strain (why?), and only having two really brief reviews so far here on Leafly, I'mma have to take this seriously. I got pictures and everything, it will be long but informative ;) General: Granola Funk by Meraki Gardens. Purchased from the wonderful folks at Nectar here in PDX. I struggled to decide between this and... shoot I can't remember. I don't think I can really remember anything right now.. geeezuz. I didn't see that coming. I should have cuz it's 30.7%! ok.. super dumb kush high. Looks: The bag appeal is up there with the Mona Lisa. Especially coming from a farm like Meraki, which in my opinion is the poster girl for what a successful cannabis farm should look like. check them out. You can barely see through the coat of gigantic Amber trichomes, but underneath is chunky hues of mostly purple. We are talking colors that you wouldn't even think could exist on a nugget, or in nature for that matter. My impression is honestly that this is a work of art, and I'm not trying to be grandiose I swear. The smell matches the name really well. Matches the taste too but I'll get to that later. Imagine a soft cranberry granola bar. That's it EXACTLY! So sour and musky like you wouldn't believe. Taste + Method: I love smoking joints so much. The joint wasn't huge because it's 30.7% THC. I'm guessing like .4. Creamy sour smoke. very smooth until the end of the joint when I started coughing. but that's fine because I get more high. speaking of! I. AM. FADED. goner. out of commish. I have really bad nerve pain so that isn't going anywhere, but otherwise I feel fantastic. care free. lazy. maybe it's me, but I wouldn't want to be around strangers on this strain. bring outdoors in the summer at night sounds perfect on this ish. anything else?? get some!!

I always tell myself it isn’t a great idea to wake and bake something I’m not super familiar with, but the smell hit the spot and it’s Saturday. So why not? And Now I’m writing a very long Leafly review. Appearance: I went with a really nice fluffy creamy very light turmeric crumble. The flower examples I’ve seen are fat, milky bulbous trichomes with buds in a prism of colors from pine green to violet/Indigo to deep purple all kinda mixed up and capped with a deep burnt orange Colorado sunset. Smell: The example I used here and have seen/smelled don’t come across as granola to me. To me granola is indicative of honey and spice flavors, while there is a certain honey quality here harking back to the Hawaiian genetics. To me it comes across more like a violet mint, lavender and hibiscus lemon bar with a creamy chemy fuel funk frosting. The chem/fuel/funk part stands out, not in an overpowering way but it’s fairly unique. Taste: I used a ceramic vape on low and medium heat. Surprisingly smooth, with a sweet doughy yet refreshing mouthfeel, very flowery with some tart lemon and grapefruit notes. Finishing with a mild sweeter fuel and chem on the exhale. High: Now this is the part that got me, just going off of appearance and smell it wasn’t what I was expecting. If you like really dynamic highs this is a good fit. If you like focused and clearer highs or have anxiety I can’t say I’d recommend it. It is a very hybrid high, almost contradictory at times. Immediately there’s a certain giggly relaxed but awake haze, This quickly transitions into a racy speedy high, the kind where you need to do something that doesn’t require a lot of thought like clean or hike or work out. Finally transitioning into a pretty heady yet narcotic kinda high. I don’t think I would use this as a weekday daytime Strain, but if it’s the weekend and you’re in the mountains or on the beach or just lounging around the house it would work. For night time use I would probably do this one closer to the end of the night when you need a bit of a perk before calling it a night.

Nice, productive high with a slight giggle effect. Goooood sleep after you come down.
