Old Man Bing Reviews A Contest Win from LowPriceBud.com

1
MOM Name
lowpricebud.com

Overall rating out of 10:
8/10 (sleight bonus for top-level shipping packaging)

Ordering & Pricing:
This package was a contest win via discord, so I cannot speak to the website or formal order process.

Communication:
I spent some time chatting with LPB after receiving the package, in order to sort out a powdery mildew issue with one of the strains. From experience, I can say this MOM was immediately receptive and helpful when a problem arose, and even though it was a contest win, they immediately offered to replace a quarter of Purple Urkel that had some powdery mildew issues. Everything was made right in very short order (3 days!)... Good people.

Packaging:
Probably the best packaging I have seen from any MOM. Both packages I received were sent in Uline cardboard boxes that were shrink-wrapped OVER the shipping label, which makes them damn near completely tamper-proof (no more CheapWeed empty boxes). Inside the boxes, everything was individually bagged and vacuum sealed. Nice bright yellow company packaging, leaps out of the box at ya.

Products / Photos:

Black Diamond:

  • Flavour/Nose: To my senses, this cut comes off as pungently sweet and sour.
  • Trim/Cure/Density: Trim is excellent, moisture content is nice (bud seems fresh/good squish), density is medium, and the bud sizes averaged smalls to mids (1g to 3g).
  • Lift/Buzz: Sleepy time tea… Highly sedating, great for inducing sleep and painkilling. No munchies.
  • Potency/Quality: LPB favours this cut at AAA+, and for its potency, excellent trim, freshness, and larger than average bud size, I would tend to agree.
  • Vapour Quality: Terps for days, and coughless, smooth vapour.
  • Overall: 8.6/10

Lemon Sour Diesel:
Image
  • Nose/Flavour: Heavy diesel nose with a hint of oniony body odour, stinky and dank… taste is the same, pungent and sharp.
  • Trim/Cure/Density: Trim is nice, cure is excellent (sticky when broken apart), and I’d say the density is medium-high. Bud size averaged over 1g.
  • Lift/Buzz: Very buzzy, my head and body feel slightly electric.. Love this buzz for social situations or just plain old day use.
  • Potency/Quality: LPB rates this cut AAA, but I dare say I’d put it at AAA+, thanks largely to a pro-level cure.
  • Vapour Quality: Great, tasty and smooth as silk.
  • Overall: 8.2/10

Wedding Cake:
Image
  • Nose/Flavour: Admittedly, I do not have the best senses of taste or smell, but to me, this strain comes off quite floral with a hint of spice.
  • Trim/Cure/Density: Trim is good, density is medium, and the cure is very good-not quite dank and sticky, but good moisture and far from dry.
  • Lift/Buzz: I get hit by a heavy initial lightheadedness, which morphs into a spacey, daydreamy stone. Good activities buzz, quite uplifting and energetic.
  • Potency/Quality: LPB rates this cut at AAA+, and that's probably pretty close to what I’d say as well. I’d loved to have seen it a bit stickier, but I did get a massive 5g bud, so that kinda made up for it.
  • Vapour Quality: Smooth and tasty.
  • Overall: 8.2/10

Scoutmaster:
Image
  • Flavour/Nose: I get a heavy sour-citrus terp off this cut, quite strong and flavourful.
  • Trim/Cure/Density: Trim is excellent, density is high, size of buds I’d categorize as smalls (under 1g average), cure is good, not sticky but not dry.
  • Lift/Buzz: Awesome; might be one of my new favs! The combination of girl scout cookies and master kush hits on all cylinders. I get a rockin body buzz and a balloon level head stone.
  • Potency/Quality: LPB ranks this cut at AAA, and due to the small average bud size and the lack of tackiness, I would agree with that rating. The potency might be closer to AAA+, however, it has a decent kick.
  • Vapour Quality: Not only smooth, but legitimately tastes great.
  • Overall: 8/10

Bubba Kush:
Image
  • Flavour/Nose: Super fresh, piney and kushy goodness. This was probably the ickiest stickiest cut LPB sent me, as far as cure is concerned.
  • Trim/Cure/Density: Trim is excellent, cure is perfect in my opinion, sticky from the inside out, density is high, and the bud size averaged smalls (1.5g or under).
  • Lift/Buzz: I am positive everyone has had bubba, and while its not the most exciting or exotic strain out there, there’s a reason it is a staple crop… great medicinal properties.
  • Potency/Quality: LPB rates it AAA, and I’d say that’s right on point.
  • Vapour Quality: Really nice, smooth and very terpy.
  • Overall: 7.7/10 (bonus points for fantastic cure)

Blue Zkittlez Shatter:
Image
  • Flavour: I get a heavy sweet terp off of this shatter when it initially vaporizes; it smells VERY similar to the fruity, food grade terps that are commonly used to flavour distillates. The aftertaste I get is like burnt plastic, and I kind of wish I had another strain of LPB’s shatter to compare it to, because I am highly curious if this aftertaste is due to the shatter having gone through a colour remediation process, and then flavoured to try and replace the terps stripped away by CRC, OR, if this is legitimately the taste of the strain. I have a funny feeling the former is the case, but I can’t be sure.
  • Consistency/Stability: Glass-like at room temperature, and very stable.
  • Lift/Buzz: The high is nice, feels like a solid hybrid that would be good for day or night use, solid brain buzz.
  • Potency/Quality: Nowhere near the most potent shatter I’ve had, but it is definitely a concentrate, and the high lasts a while, it isn’t a crash and burner.
  • Vapour Quality: I find it a tad coughy.
  • Overall: 6/10, I like the potency, but unfortunately, more and more of these ultra clean looking, yet ultra weird tasting concentrates are popping up on the market, and in my opinion, IF that fact is related to colour remediation, it needs to STOP. I’d much rather have dark, poop soup looking shatter that TASTES good, than über-clear, glass-like shatter that tastes like melted electrical wiring. The potency doesn't seem to change either way, so let's ditch the gross, probably carcinogenic filtration processes.

    [Disclaimer: IF it is discovered that no CRC has been used on this shatter, please disregard preceding rant, and I absolve myself of all sins foreign and domestic.]

Purple Urkel:

  • General Comments: Unfortunately, this cut had obvious visible powdery mildew, and as such, I could not risk smoking it. It had a strikingly dark purple appearance and good trichome coverage for AA rated bud, but alas, it was a loss. LPB seemed troubled to hear that a strain had been sent out with PM, and as far as I know, they took my advice and pulled all remaining stock of that cut, and returned it to the grower. As an apologetic gesture, they also provided two strains in addition to the four that had initially been sent.

Incentive for Customers:
Low priced buds? Honestly, I dunno, I won this, but most of it is really decent, so I see that as an incentive. :D

Incentive for Review:
None, just a thank you for a gracious giveaway, and for the knowledge of community at large.

Conclusions:
Firstly a huge thank you to Low Price Bud for the giveaway, and for making good on a replacement in haste. It is very hard to be critical of free weed, but I always try my best to evaluate fairly. The powdery mildew was an issue, but I caught it before I smoked any (check your weed, kids), and it was replaced in good form. I do not care much for the aftertaste of the shatter, but there is also a small chance it is simply my palette reacting poorly. Overall, I am pleased to have won, I am greatly enjoying the majority of the products, and I am fairly certain there is a few good deals to be had at LPB. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on their future drops and deals.
