Have they changed their drying/curing? or is it still the cold polystyrene stuff?

 

[Muiredach]

We're hoping to get some updates on changes soon, we know something is in the pipeline

I have been on medical over 6 months and this is the worst strain I have suffered. No taste, no smell, no effects - absolute garbage. I had such high hopes for UK grown.

Ahh disappointing to hear, I seen some vids on YouTube and it looked good (lots of purple).

Adding this review here too:

Any update on whether they stopped the freeze drying or whatever it was

Happy to give a local company another go on the envrionmental benefit side alone, but not if it's still coming out weird and giving me headaches

The bud has the feel of popcorn. It grinds into dust very easily. Someone described it as polystyrene - a good description.

Polystyrene exactly, almost squeaks between your fingers, freaky stuff

I've got high hopes myself for the UK grown products and whilst not trying Glass Pharms yet as I'm waiting for the products to get some good reviews

I read that they were doing it different this time but don't know where I saw it but I'm 80% it's being done different to last time but I don't think they are doing it the normal way .

Don't hold your breath. I have read that this bud is freeze dried, a technique rejected by most top producers. Presumably this method removes the need to irradiate? - otherwise why do it, if it ruins the bud?

Something to do with money no doubt, like it being quicker possibly

Is the drying process that expensive? I understand that freeze drying is very quick compared to a natural drying process, but it appears to suck all the goodness out of the flower. Do the producers ever sample the end product? Do they have any quality control??? The state-of-the-art growing facilities are useless without good genetics and somebody in the production line who understands what good bud means.

I think all this was meant to be a massive reduction in carbon footprint using alternative techniques that are less energy consuming but all said and done the product still need to be on point or its a waste of energy .

I just meant that the sooner something is turned around and sold the more money you can make / fewer expenses incurred

Deffo seems like either no-one really tried it, or it was a case of 'let's float it anyway and see what happens and if we can get our money back'

I'm sure a lot of there products went to releaf and the rest of us just got some products and I actually remember a good revue for 1 or 2 strangely enough but everyone else wasn't happy with the last batch .

 

[grainstorm]

In my opinion they have blown a great opportunity to flood the UK market with a home-grown, non-irradiated and (hopefully) cheaper product. Other new European producers are coming on stream now - fingers crossed that someone knows what good bud is. .............back to Peace Naturals® for me.

Think Drew said in a video the new one was not too bad just too dry iirc
This new strain which I imagine is using a better technique that he looked at was Kush Mints .

Glass Pharms® KM T23 Kush Mints

A flavourful bud crafted by Seed Junky Genetics, this Hybrid strain pulls evenly from her Bubba Kush and Animal Mints lineage.
