High Five Farms - Green Star Review - Purple Mango and Ghost Train Haze Hash

     High Five Farms is a producer located in Benton County Washington. Found in shops all around the state, the farm produces some of the best sun grown cannabis I’ve tried in Washington. Using light depravation growing and traditional trimming processing and curing techniques, High Five Farms products are a cut above the rest. Here are two products the AMC believes deserve a Green Star.
Purple Mango Flower
I hadn't seen a
“mango” strain since the old medical days, so I was happy to find this on the shelves at Merry Mart in Tacoma. I knew from some writing I’ve done the “mango” strains contain high concentrations of myrcene, a terpene known for its sedative effects. The finish and cure on the flower was top notch. It wasn’t trimmed to close, so all those terpenoids on the sugar leaves hung around to give this flower a pungent fruity smell. The buds weren’t too dry and were very dense, so I could tell right away the smoke was going to be good on this One. It didn't disappoint.
     Because the terpenes were so strong on this flower, it definitely packed a punch. It offered a relaxing mellow effect that gave way to just the right amount of couch lock. This is a great strain for night time use, or for patients who need some more relaxation in their lives. Day time use is possible, but for those who need help with sleep this is a great strain for their medicine cabinets.
Ghost Train Haze hash
     High Five Farms has a Ghost Train Haze flower available, but their hand press 1 gram hash cubes for only $20 are a treat. Each gram is hand pressed from kief/resin collected while the flower is being trimmed. The hash color is a brownish blonde color with tiny darker specks throughout. It smokes good by itself, grated on a joint or in a bowl. The GTH is one of the stronger strains out there, so the hash comes in with high Cannabinoid concentrations.
     We'll be taking a look at HFF's 2018 harvest soon, so keep an eye out. In the meantime be sure to support producers in Washington doing it right.
