Soma strains / What´s good at the moment

Post by Pennyroyal Water »

I wonder where I can get weed that´s been grow out of seeds from Soma - ´cause from personal experience I know that they are VERY good if grown well.
Read that Bagheera and Hunters do, so I´m gonna visit them - but are there other shops that do those wonderful genetics?

Another thing: Here´s my list of strains/shops I want buy/visit in a couple of days, something I forgot thats really good at the moment?

1e Hulp - Intensive Care, Royal Cream Deluxe
Katsu - SoGouda, Big Buddha Cheese, Black Widdow
Paradox - Turkish Hash, Cheese
Club Media - Hindu Kush
Hunters - NYCD & SSH
Bagheera - all the Soma Strains
Papillon - let´s have a look what´s good
Chapiteau - let´s have a look what´s good
Borejongens - let´s have a look what´s good
Biba - let´s have a look what´s good
Tweedy - let´s have a look what´s good

The Royal Cream at 1e Hulp nor the Zero Zero are as good as they have been. They're still better than average and a great price, but you might be disappointed.

Even the cheapest Rifman hash at Dampkring/Tweede Kamer is better. I think 8 Euro a gram. The 1 or 2 extra Euro is well worth the gain in quality.

As for Soma strains, it's hard to say if the growers who provide strains to Coffeeshops are using Seeds or Clones: my guess is that they mostly use clones, because of the cost and efficiency. Here are some ideas for shops that consistently carry Soma Strains:

N.Y.C.D - 420, almost always have it: and it's usually about the best in town.

Amnesia Haze - Hunters is the best that I have tried, it's all over the place!

Lavender - Dampkring usually has it, so does Bluebird, I think.

So Gouda - Katsu, you have it on your list, wisely, it's usually the Bomb!

Afghan Delight - Anyday has it sometimes, hopefully when you are there, tops!

Kushadelic - LaTertulia had it this last summer, frankly it was Crapadelic!

Hash Heaven - Bluebird should have that, I think Biba may as well, nice shop!

I think Bluebird has a more constant supply of Soma Strains then Bageera, could be wrong though. By the way, I think that DeGraal, or maybe Kabouter, had some really "Killer" Amnesia Haze recently; worth checking both of those shops out!
Also, 1eHulp, Chapiteau, Borejongens and Tweedy are all great shops, probably not the best shops for Soma strains, but, I know that that is not your objective. Have a blast man, Cheers!

Very happy to get some serious answers instead of the common "Use the search function of this forum"...

Thx for the hint on the hashes of the Hulp - so I´m gonna buy only half a gram of each to try (if it´s possible there, in some shops it isn´t, know this has been discussed here, still don´t get the point). Curious, if the IC of 1e Hulp is as good as I heard it is.

Nice to see that so many shops sell Soma-Weed. Now I know why the NYCD of LaTertulia was soooooooo good! Gonna check out DeGraal and the Kabouter, they got a nice selection and prices seem to be fair. And I´m sure to test the Afghan Delight, thx for that too...

I´d like to get some of the best Diesel in town, BUT as I read about the 420 to sell grit weed I´m very careful about that shop. I´m not paranoid, I already bought sprayed weed in coffeeshops a couple times (even though not in Amsterdam yet) and did not notice it until I made a chemical test with a nice grit-weed test-set. The signs were highly visible on a closer look, so I tested it and my fears were confirmed. But that´s another issue...

The best N.Y.C.D that I have tried was from Willie Wortell's Sativa in Haarlem. That was a little over 4 years ago, though; before they moved the shop to the corner and shrunk it. if you make it to Haarlem, and if they still have it, give it a try, it was "stinky-licious"!

Where, pray tell, did you read that?! That's a pretty serious accusation to be making and I've never heard that about 420....

Plz don´t get me wrong, I´m not adjudging the shop ´cause I didn´t buy the grit weed by myself there. I´m just careful ´cause like I said I bought that kind of shit in coffeeshops several times now and I read A LOT that makes me aware that it can be found everywhere. I heard of many popular shops to sell sprayed plastic-brix-weed, so I will stick to shops that are visited by more locals than tourists... Maybe that helps.

In this particular case I had in my mind what wietroker wrote ( http://www.weedandhash.com/420-haze-rev ... -amsterdam )... "no stickiness, some powder like crystal residue on the hands" and "cigarette-taste" sounds VERY bad to me. Even though a lot of you will have rational explanations for those evidence, I´m gonna avoid places like that. Isn´t that understandable?

( There was another review I read that said similar things about the 420, I just can´t find it anymore... )

Now I must admit that the thought briefly occurred to me that with weed due to tasting like cigarettes.

However, it did not burn badly like gritweed and it did not look like gritweed. Also, my friend who I gave the bag to had another joint the next morning and he said it was fantastic weed (I've updated my review, check the comments).

Finally, De Kuil has a microscope you can easily use so I'd be amazed if they knowingly sold grit weed with this next to the budtender's table.

That said, I really don't think they have the best weed and hash selection in town. I used to smoke there all the time but now that I live here I still smoke there but don't buy so much. It seems to disappoint me for some reason.
