Guava IX – Natural Heritage, Maryland, Summer 2023

88 out of 100 points

Summer 2023

Price: $50/eighth

I was a little disappointed with the size and appearance of the buds as they were on the small side and seemed machine pruned although they still gave when squeezed. Guava IX is Guava x Stardawg and has the sour gas aroma known for “Dawgs” rounded off with a little sweetness; Caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene are the primary terpenes. Dry Pull has more of that fruity flavor with strong chemical support. The effects were nice and bright, with more brain power compared to the other two. A reliable smoking companion for the day that doesn’t strain the nerves.
