FLOWER REVIEW Grow West code blue

The fluffy green buds of this Code Blue had me very excited to roll something up. Upon busting open the bag, my nose was filled with a piney and earthy aroma. I found the effects of this strain to be sedating and best suited for evening use. The resonance between smell and flavor was unmistakable, leaving a taste on my tongue reminiscent of herbal tea.

A CARYOPHYLLENE DOMINANT STRAIN, TEMPERED WITH A BURST OF LIMONENE SUNSHINE AND A THRESHOLD DOSE OF MYRCENE. GUAVA IX HAS BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR MONTHS, FLYING UNDER THE RADAR OF MOST MEDICAL PATIENTS, BUT EARNING A TOP SPOT WITH THE OLD HEADS AND DAILY TOKERS ALIKE.

Consistently maintaining a similar terpene profile and always being above 25% THC, this strain is truly one of Maryland’s medical gems!

A very mellow, muscle relaxing, heavy high accompanies the Guava IX headspace, with spicy overtones atop a fruity zephyr of flavor. The high is just heavy enough without crossing the line into a couch-locking fog, which I find to be a top quality indica effect.

The Guava IX is special as far as indica effects are concerned, as it is a caryophyllene dominant strain, tempered with a burst of limonene sunshine and a threshold dose of myrcene.

Caryophyllene is typically very body sedating, providing strong pain relief without the quintessential cloudy headspace that accompanies a myrcene dominant profile.

This versatile terpene also tends to beat back the anxieties, which combined with the serotonin dump provided by the limonene, makes the combination particularly potent for mental health symptoms.

Heavy in the muscles but not in the mind, the Guava IX helped me pursue my day with energy, vigor and a vibrant energy that only the most special of Cannabis profiles can bring.

Not to mention the pearl white ash that stayed locked to my joint, cigarlike, indicating an excellent cure and a resinous plant to boot.

I could taste the spicy wash of temperate fruits with each and every inhale, with the notes on the exhale hinting at an earthiness and freshness that is enticing to a wide range of consumers.

The aroma profile stays true to the flavor profile, retaining its enticing vibes, and in my experience has maintained this from batch to batch, month to month.

Caryophyllene dominant profiles bring a more subtly powerful indica effect and are infinitely more rare than their myrcene dominant counterparts, so I’m happy to have had the experience of Guava IX.

I really appreciate the Nature’s Heritage team and their efforts to bring this fantastic medicine to market.
