Back from Nederlân again. Same procedure as so often, this time again too in the provinces where also we took a quick look at the ongoing Wiet experiment I updated about here:


Also crowded A'dam, see picture of Damrak, was visited on the way to our secret holiday destination[did anyone say something to do with water?]for relaxiation and stereotype Dutch weather package as usual.

Interlude:Think I will have to drop one thing prior to the reviews: this visit to A'dam one famous shithole of a coffeeshop notorious for its overpriced imports from the Usa sold a static sift from an official brand in the Usa for a budget price of 250€[twohundredandfifty]!
Supposedly from one or two of their overhyped flagship strains[did anyone say a reference to a Jjapanese gastronomic specialilty?]] ; they couldn't even tell if it is from single source or indeed two strains mixed.
Took a look at the melted rosin uhm resin in the sealed jar with no chance of smelling. Even though I could have smelt it I wouldn't go for it even though we could split up between the ususal 4-5 of us.
That is a joke, really.

Attention again as subpar pictures[more in my gallery] contain grass off budtender's hands unfortunately.

Let's go:

1.

I've seen a frozen static though by one of the most famous farms, I I guess they sift it 1st in a cold room then clean with static.

Aye-aye, sir! Tracked down and consumed! Report to follow:

Well, or something like that since as usual before attacking the Wiet experiment, it’s a ritual[+general rule #1 when consumption is concerned], we needed to pick up resin for a proper high to start the day[best high of the day in my humble opinion]so we had a detour to some other provinces and picked it up at a trusted coffeeshop again there.

Knowledeable budtender was around and showed this as well as
mentioning it is 'static frozen'.

Not so sure with all these fake and misleading descriptions especially on coffeeshop menus I have heard of this stupid term before but I took it with a smirk as usual[only way to survive this mystery also know as life]]and budtender too couldn't bring light into the darkness at all since he repeated basically what you said.

Supposedly static cleaned from a frozen sift they claim to drum in cold chambers.

So be it !

By the way this is off my most favourite section again and I just have to repeat again no matter what is your take on them - they haven't let me down once since I know them and tested ~30 samples myself yet[ I appreciate their wares but in the end I can't take anyone of these people serious with their marketing while they most probably piss themselves laughing when customers fall for silly brandings
while the cake of profit is as usual sorta split up between very few people.

So ridiculing them and 'others' there is the only way to go since I want transparency not hocus pocus.

Only thing I can critisize is their approach of processing everything seeminlgy as I was told they have many more lines but rarely got my hands on something below 120u.

Now also this 'static frozen' – nobody gets out alive, innit? I am more for focussing on one great quality and no variation[rest of the plant, if in a legal setup, should be used for recreational edibles] but this is a profit driven world and who am I?

What ever
, strong clean kush taste and strong uplifting high knifes through other stuff along with equally body effects.
Another lovely piece. Priced less than their static by the way ; while the static is maybe a tad stronger if memory served me right. Again, best this trip.

By the way: budtender also informed us that they plan on doing some plasma static approach, a technique member Piff Rhys Jones mentioned some months ago and I will post some videos at the end of this post. Very welcome and keen to try this, especially it will be from this section so I expect proper work!

By the way,
Sandsmp81,
since we talked about it a good while back piece of hashish coming here was bought in 'Dam at a chain which obviously restarted an old line which was more or less one of the first brandings in regards to hashish sold
at coffeeshops with many imitations up to the sections of today[never really disappeared 100% but quite a hiatus in recent years]. The one here is the better release of this duo and it has it all, creamy strong taste and cutter high plus supposedly static sifted for a relatively fair coffeeshop price.

Only let down is that it was sold as a sift extracted from one of my all time favourite strains but compared to the riddiculous experience I had when it comes to the Wiet experiment and company Hollandse Hoogtes this trip[see linked report above]it very remotely had a similar flavour but this was still more standard kushy and to be fair not as pronounced and fine as with other static from other sections.

All in all very good price-/performance ratio nonetheless!

I mean I have to say, no offence intended, I am not familiar with this price segment at coffeeshops since a while as I mostly buy without looking at the price as well as I never look for bargains because one advantage is we split all costs between our circle of mates as always[this is definitely a part of real unity !]
but the latest best of the menu though hands down this is an affordable price even though many still won't see it that way in my experience but so be it again.

This was a € more expensive than the other one but for such a price. Before this crisis in regards to classic Moroccan hashish we discussed a lot in this thread the best tradtional Moroccan was sold for this on the average at most coffeeshops and now one can get that high grade with foreign genetics for the same price.

Respect to this chain where respect is due:tiphat:! Hope others to follow.

Bit of a background if anyone cares:

I remember I had some static off them about 4 years ago only a few € more expensive and good quality but this is now even cheaper and as good as gear from other sections asking 2xmore ! Don't get me wrong though it is not as good as the above
or the powder in form of resin I picked up too this time in town[ no pictures and this was top 3 as well to be fair as usual and despite
it had an interesting taste and amazing texture it still is overpriced and 'merely' good high grade] from the mentioned 'section all over the place' we encountered during our last two trips[they still appear sorta dodgy to me and funnily apart from other theories I thought maybe it is the new brand of this very chain. Or is it just a sub-label from my most favourite one? In this stupid 'industry' everything seems possible, haha.
Funny to some degree they return with this old brand now.] but it isn't too far way.

I reported before this chain seems to focus on the locals since damn Covid19. They always did and it is their origin sorta but it looks to me – rarely go there since no innovations for a good while – they recollected themselves with much more focus on the locals.
Maybe this is the beginning of a new turning point discussed in this thread before: new styles of processing hashish went through the roof in the last 8 years and static as well as fresh frozen is relatively new but already to some degree established.

As with everything new methods get adapted after some time and prices drop since the next trend respectively technology is waiting. Not to forget demand.

Though one has to keep in mind that they are still a bit of an exception since they now operate nationwide supplying many coffeeshops
so they most probably have strong ties to Morocco and quantity[while please never forget hashish is overpriced anyway due to being illegal].
As far as I remember they were even one of the first starting with static technique, too. Now it is affordable for many more people and no offence intended again since one should know my approach when reading my posts:
the best quality should be produced en masse with focus on price so many more people can indulge[no need for other qualities but again this is a profit driven world and I can't change that while dreaming should still be allowed].

3.Next is the other one from this restarted brand. A tad less flavouriwse in standard kush taste but also a proper strong cutter high. Interestingly it had a funk of a piney note which reminded me of classic Moroc. Still very good price-/performance ratio.

By the way: also tried a new section[reference to fictional metal]based in French Republic and operating in the Rif providing some what ever sifted piece of hashish which was good quality!

@sandsmp81

Welcome back then and thanks you caught up with posts you intended! I appreciate that! What about your curing attempts by the way? Fingers crossed regarding your health ; hope it is no long-covid19 since scary in general and also know a few cases personally still strugelleing since 2020 so go see a doctor is all I can say to be sure what really it is in the end.

You are right about how static works and I know that but it was a misunderstanding. I think nonetheless they probably use time units for their work e.g. one of 15 minutes per cleaning could be one. 2 x 15 minutes one could sell as double static and so on. Very rough scale of course but I doubt they invest much time.

Funny you too enjoyed the
Peach Lassi as well since I had it in May and reported about it here ; as said then not sure which version I had since despite the menu saying it was 90u the budtender, who was a fan also, said it is static.

At least at two coffeeshops in Amsterdam I saw it listed this trip though interestingly without saying which version – didn't retry as more or less always on the hunt for other gear but welcome at home any time. What ever, it was a good yet very good quality especially for the nice enough coffeeshop price back then. The peachy taste was strong and so was the high.

You also mentioned the static from Usa just produced from trim too for way more money which I always find crazy, especially over there in a legal state where there is such an abundance of grass. I am still not sure if they really sell the buds and just use the trim for static or other sifts as I was told different things along the way ranging from trim to whole plants.

If this is really the case – whole plants fresh frozen is big since a while as well but to me neither impressive as would prefer bud sifted – they indeed earn some extra money. Too agree on the classic that good grass can be grown everywhere and the brandings from the Usa are heavily overrated.

Though since many illegal operations here don't care too much about proper growing they lag behind the best from there in my humble opinon.

While the best over there in regards to grass is just the quality we grew back in the day[talking about growing itsself not strains!] and is the standard I expect when grass is concerned anyway! I of course see the difference between growing masses versus growing at home though.

They have very good conditions if in a legal set up and black market growers often don't have such an opportunity to be fair.

It is still not rocket science but too many big operations here seemingly don't care and not to forget the consumers either don't know quality or are too ignorant. Long story.

The section who produced the 'Gmo' I didn't know yet but will look out for then. Since I mentioned it the other day: if you are looking for heavy stuff I can only say try names like 'Banana what ever' as in my experience for some strange reason

I can't prove they mostly packed a punch.

What ever Banana stands for in their name game. While I am on it: you are sure it really is 'gmo genetics'?

Just saying as I still think most strains grown in the Rif are basically different approaches of Critical, Tropicana, Nicole and Barbara Bud – plut nowadays perhaps even a genetic mish mash of said strains, lol.

Very similar terpene profiles and roughly kush taste too often in my experience[though one could say that about many strains in general ].

They always claim to buy seeds from several seedbanks and this is probably true to some degree but in the end they pull names out of their arses depending on current trends. Well, the majority at least. Maybe there are exceptions but quite sure they too mix different sifts from different strains. Difficult to check and another wonderful adavantage of the black market.

The Ice Cream Cake x Runtz I too had about half a year ago and after that, too. Lovely piece of resin, I agree. Was too a favourite among us but I prefer the Peach Lassi personally.

The section responsible for the Tropicana Cookies and Gmo x 26mm I haven't come across yet. Sounds interesting.

By the way since you mentioned them: the sour resin I mentioned in my previous post was again from that – how I name them - Transporters section you mentioned a year ago since I found out this trip as budtender
told us so when picking up the frozen static as I wanted more from them but new ones were all sold out. Had a few other strains from them over the past year and they are too quite good price-/performance ratio. Though not much around and going fast.
Cheers.

@Piff Rhys Jones

The section you asked for was my second best until the mulberry section you also mentioned came on heavily and took their place. They are both quite comparable but haven't had any static from them yet if I remember correctly.
Their batch of Onionz two years ago was – no shit – legendary and since then I tried multiple releases from them with mostly good results.

This year I too had a couple which included an ice-o-lator from them, also reported about here. Taken all releases into consideration[all of them were at least their so called 'gold line' at 90u] I can say it was generally good quality, especially on the price-/performance ratio.
Only a few were mids in my eyes.
Though they are not so much around this year at least at coffeeshops since a few trusted ones were not satisfied with their batches but what I tried this year yet was good though indeed selected before in the end at trusted coffeeshops.


Last but not least:
Here are some videos of plasma static technique.

Another attempt of making the best out of this autumn and the usual mix of weather on Dutch soil.

Amsterdam was visited which one can see below in the form of pictures of the usual 'quality'[Beware: some budtenders again came with leftovers of grass on their hands/gloves].

By the way, here is a correction in regards to my previous post: the seventh picture I uploaded there is belonging to the third variety shown there, but original picture can be found in my personal gallery on here[as well as other pictures from this very post here], I will not edit that.

Before heading to 'Dam we picked – since it was time again[ Telepathy, @Bibi40 , haha?] - up some classic Moroccan resin on a detour at the usual private source.
Blondish piece from Morocco had a creamy and smooth impact on me lungs, but usual range of taste of 'flowery, spicy melon' was there though quite low[smell was too around but similarily muted], whilst the effect for such a traditional take was relatively strong.

All in all unfortunately not what I expected, so at best a commercial high grade. This wasn't stale or shit but not from this new season, which I hope will be performing good on all levels again, though I am worried it won't[general decline of landrace and the really good stuff is exclusive to some inner circles as mentioned a few times before, haha].

Time will tell though, fingers crossed. Didn't see any worth traditional in 'Dam, too.

5 Classic Moroccan Commercial High Grade, October, 2024.JPG

First one is from the Transporters section. Came with a more typical smell of oldschool hashish, but geniuinely tasted of kush, along with strong enough effects on body and mind.

Good stuff, though somewhat underwhelming, when thinking of what I discovered and reported about on my last trip to town at this certain chain and their static versions for half the price!

Funnily as unexpected[what ever that means] too got a supposedly Fresh Frozen product from them Transporters on the same trip[no pictures], which 'only' costed a few € more and defnintely contained an even more deep taste, also felt stronger effectwise.

Too good gear but both not at all 'cheap' but at roughly the usual rate for such grades but, this what ever frozen was top 3 this trip.

This coming here now is again from my most favourite section.

It is their best static with the usual extra term, in fact I wanted to try something else, preferably other sections work, but there was not much around apart from the 'section all over the place now' I am mentioning since 3 trips at least[ hands down they are good yet very good often but one will see if they can uphold their current big hype on long term! In general and a good example for this scene, it appears to be dodgy and one can tell that by a mile off.]I saw everywhere again, also nationwide as said before, which is saying a lot.

Anyway, back to this static which screamed at me, so got it in the end. Needless to say another cutter easily working its way through previous consumption units those days. Smooth smoke and strong enough kush taste this bright shiny piece came up with.

Second best this trip closely. Closely, because – guess what – said release was overtrumped by no one else than themselves as I too couldn't hold myself back, when a so called fresh frozen[no pictures]product from them was offered[and was only a few € more than their static tested here].

This had a strong flowery-fruity taste and still strong effect to it. So good it was #1 this trip as better than the other section[no pictures either]!

Also a static product of the Mulberry section crossed our path and was tested. Resulted in an oily resin tasting of oranges along with a cutter effect as well. Sadly no pictures but as usual high grade work from them!
