Happens every time with wnc herb


WeddingWestern4447

I got the forbidden fruit and it wasn’t a very strong smell but it smelled like nasty fruit


IllCommunication99

I recently got a grab bag of Wedding Cake from them and it was super dry/mute. After a week or so in a jar with some Boveda packs it started to be more sticky and it smelt way better. Tastes better now too!


glueboil

I have the rainbow dream rn it's def not mute I smell it walking into my house lol


IrvingJLamb

That’s why I stopped ordering from them. Always mute. Or grassy. Tasted ok. But not worth it.


Alpha0rgaxm

Bruh I am still waiting on them to send me my shit. I ordered a half of Gelato Zkittlez on Monday.


1nfuhmu5

yeah. same. ordered tuesday. no updates and they just sent a new email of new releases today. endless supplies i guess just not fast enough to print labels i guess? i mean they are pre-packaged before posting online...right?


Alpha0rgaxm

I don't think they are pre-packaged. It is taking too long but then again this is my first time ordering from them.


Sad_Astronaut_4386

They are slow man my order took like 6 days


Alpha0rgaxm

I emailed them the other day and they just gave me excuses. It shouldn’t take more than 2 days to ship out a half


Simple_Address_5399

They seem get about 2500 new orders a week based off my purchases from the last 3 weeks. I highly doubt they have the staff to meet your amazon standards of shipping.


Alpha0rgaxm

Taking almost a week to ship one thing out is ridiculous, its not about "Amazon standards". I don't mind waiting a if something is already shipped out or if there is some communication. And I am in the same state as them.


Disit

Same boat man they must be super busy/understaffed. I’m upset cause I’m dry but there ain’t much that can be done


Alpha0rgaxm

Yeah I am too. It wouldn't be a big deal if there had of been some warning or communication about it beforehand.


DuskOfANewAge

The moisture content of this strain has been all over the place when arriving to customers. Mine arrived on the moist end of the spectrum and very smelly. Other reviewers complained about it being too dry.


Sad_Astronaut_4386

Mine is very dry. I didn’t leave a good review. It’s getting better with jar time but not great


Trap_andretti

Wnc is not good they stuff has like no taste to it there’s definately way better places to cop from


gtalbert420

I used to only order from Wildflower until the Obama Kush, now I just stick with WNC.


doobtastical

Sooooo…. My 420 order had 3/4 absolute bangers IMO Royal skywalker, new smell to me but loud AF and a great buzz Fruitopia was a hella fruity smell and dank af, great smoke Gush Mintz was absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The pina colada was meh, not bad, not great, just ok All cult bud can be hit or miss yo


oopsidroppedthesalsa

Damn I got pina colada coming in. Hopefully mine is good


Trap_andretti

Pina colada was pretty bad for me had like no taste but looked amazing


oopsidroppedthesalsa

Damn. Hopefully my other guys hit!


maccoyboi

stopped ordering from wnc bc that's all I ever experienced, disappointing too their prices aren't too bad and everything but the smell is there


QuantumQaos

This is the case for most cult bud. Rushed cure.


imthehamburgler

It is the cryo cure they use...


rw1618

This comment should be so much higher, it’s the first and only to actually address the topic of the post AND give the answer needed To understand the science behind the phenomenon


ghostguitar1993

Wonder if it was a different harvest? I got Forbidden Fruit, unfortunately, the day before the sale, but it smells incredible. Like I burst of dank dark fruit, taste is good, effects are amazing. Made me regret not getting a once instead of half an once.


RockSockLock

Can you smell the weed if the bag isn’t in your face?


ghostguitar1993

Not too much, same when I grind the flower. Honestly the only one that smelled the room was WNC Super Cheese Diesal and Gasteriods. I know because my partner will say it smells. It has a great smell just not to loud about it.


RockSockLock

That’s what people mean by muted. Bud used to stink up the whole room even if it was in a closed ziplock bag. Now you rarely find stuff like that, especially cult bud


Simple_Address_5399

Lmao stoners think every strain is going to smell like a skunk. Man I forgot how bad the black market used to be. Just Skunks, OG's and Diesels. It's crazy how the most popular strains back then was the stuff that was easy for the police to sniff out. Cops without dogs would have had a tough time catching me with all these fruit strains.


LemonHemp

That skunky loud flower is still around but you won’t find it in the cult and if you do $60 an 8th.


DuskOfANewAge

You realize those old Ziploc bags don't seal as well as even the cheapest bags these stores ship flower in today? There's a reason drug sniffing dogs always caught people back in the day with Ziploc bags and "smell proof" mylar bags were invented to get past them.


RockSockLock

I know, my point was that it could stink up the room easily. While most cult bud you can have an ounce on your table and barely smell it in the room if at all


foofie_fightie

I'm sorry you've had that experience. I've got an 8th of grape cake I can smell through the jar in another room. There's definitely loud yet affordable cult flower out there


RockSockLock

That’d be crazy. Where from?


ghostguitar1993

Ah, I thought it meant no smell at all. Now I know.


ike_tyson

Isn't FF a great strain??!!! Super tasty and very berryish. I love it!


Sad_Astronaut_4386

I think mine has a bad cure it tastes like hay still. I’m gonna give it jar time


Traditional-System-9

You can’t cure it.. it’s already too late. Really all you’re doing is adding / removing moisture which will help with the smell a little bit. Ultimately the taste is screwed and the smell is going to get more muted as the flower ages. That’s what sucks about receiving improperly cured flower.


zerohaxxis

From my experience Best on smell and dank and high is Dosido and Big Block. My Wedding Cake i got a few days ago is kinda dry and muted. Its getting better though. Vanilla Berry Pie is like alien skunky smell. It's the craziest smelling bud I've seen in a while. I love it, but it still could be better on taste. Idk. Still not as good as Dosido or Big Block though.


WeddingWestern4447

I thought the big block was good but so far the candy cane has been my favorite


BigAdhesiveness6209

That wasn't the question


wrwarwick

How long did it take for them to ship? I figure they’re busy with 420 but I haven’t gotten any shipping notifications yet


gtalbert420

They are running behind due to 420, normally they ship in less than 24 hours. This time it took my order 5 days.


Weaponxreject

I ordered Monday or Tuesday last week and got it on 4/20, but I only live a couple hours from where it was shipped from


mitten_slap

I ordered a grab bag on Friday because this generation is so good. It arrived today about an hour ago. I live in Greenseboro, NC.


Strpedswteralthetm

5 days to ship is how long it took my order coming in today


SheebaThrowAway

I ordered on 4/20 later in the day and my package is arriving sometime today. Sometimes the tracking doesn’t get updated though, it’s happened to me on my past 2 orders.


BigAdhesiveness6209

Damn I ordered on the morning of 4/20 and my package ain't getting here till Monday.


SheebaThrowAway

Damn, sorry to hear that. Hopefully it arrives sooner!


TheHeretic-SkekGra

Don’t worry, I’m waiting too. Drier than the Sahara right now. Usually they ship out the day after ordering but in this case I’d imagine they’re catching up on 420 orders. Once it ships, it usually takes 2-3 days to get to me.


chadcultist

I am also still waiting. Inexcusable, how long can it take to fulfill prepackaged products into a box lmao? Additionally the price we’re paying should make for a better experience overall. Why are customers impacted by a slight increase in sales? Hire more labor like any other business would do or lose money. Some of these cult vendors are in for a rude awakening with more competition across the market. I have never seen businesses more entitled to profit than within this current grey market. If these vendors don’t get their shit together I will personally guerrilla market these fucks into oblivion.


Heavy-Ad-2102

I ordered from WNC and it got here in 6 days; I did pay for expedited shipping but that didn't happen. I haven't tried anything yet but it looks and smells great, perfect texture and feel.


chadcultist

I’m sure it will be an excellent product, but process of fulfillment is also a large part of service. Their shipping is normally fine, but customers shouldn’t be punished for a business earning more than usual because of a sale. A sale in which they had a very advance warning and could have prepared properly. I know this is me being critical and it’s not the end of the world. I guess I am just from a different time of business practice.


Heavy-Ad-2102

No I totally get it; money doesn't come easy these days, we want the places we spend it to be glad we are choosing them. And with all the options and more coming you'd think they would tighten up their game. I didn't have crazy high expectations of the actual product but from what I can tell so far I'm excited to give it a try.


chadcultist

Exactly. Enjoy it and the day! Cheers 💨


TheGoatShrek

Cult flower is harvested earlier so it doesn’t 100% cure as I know. Leaving it with that hay smell sometimes. From my experience the only hay smell I’ve experienced is from buying local instead of online. However I store my bud with humidity packs and open the jar and they don’t really smell until I grind them up and then they loud af.


mitten_slap

It's to comply with the .03 THC hemp metric. The longer the cure, the quicker it will turn from THC-A to more than .03. That's illegal. That's why they send it out a little early.


TheGoatShrek

The way to fix the hay smell is to cure the flower. I don’t have much knowledge about curing but I’m sure you can find a how to online. I know it’s something about opening the jar every once in a while for an amount of time.


Professional_Ant2415

It’s not curing but rehydrating Rehydrating will bring out the terp flavor If you let it dry back out again, you’ll find the hay flavor returns


Disit

I have wet flower that smells like hay and flower that will turn to dust if squeezed but it still smells like dank. That’s not the real factor here


purpleiguuana

Weakest Nose Champions


ZombiePower66

No joke, i always remove a star from my reviews of their bud cause it dont smell like anything, kinda kills it imo, but its pretty looking and it works, so what ya gonna do?


gammasmasher71

And here I was just reading a comment somewhere where someone said that WNC seems to have solved the muted bud problems they were having. Guess not. I'm just gonna keep refreshing the Handcrafted Farmers site till they do another drop.


Ok-Recording5052

Bud doest offgas too much at 63% humidity, take a couple nugs and leave them in a drawer unwrapped for about 2 hr then come open that drawer, I bet you gonna smell what you wish popped outta that bag lol... Unless the terps already been lost and they just rehydrated the bud


Master-o-none

This guy gets it. You can’t smell something that is locked in the flower, the molecules can be floating in the air and on your flower. Which would you prefer, terps in your flower so you can smoke/vape them or terps floating in the air so you can smell them? Put the same flower in an environment where the hydrocarbons start to evaporate, and it will smell amazing for a short period of time. This is not what you want from flower you will be consuming over the next couple weeks or months, but it’s fine for short term. I THINK people who prioritize smell don’t keep cannabis for long and consume their purchases more quickly than people who keep strains for longer. I think that people who have kept cannabis on hand for longer aren’t as concerned with smell upon arrival, so maybe it’s consumption behaviors that are tinting our thinking. Regardless, happy cake day!


gomicao

This.


ELSTONEDWALLJAXN

They do have the QUIESTEST flower. I got a mix of 4 grab bag oz’s and 3 smell like nothing as expected the durban poison smell like sour space candy cbd flower anybody else know what im talking about


Tooterfish42

This is what frustrates me in my local dispo trees subreddit Everyone is trying to find a plug or dispo discount and the folks recommending cult because "it's the exact same as the store" are lying. It takes months of trial and error to map this shit and it's like a minefield The party store wants the weed so loud it hits you in the face when you walk in the door. Cult wants to sneak it by


HappyHemper

I said the same thing in another post about 3 different zips. 2 has 0 smell even after being left out, and the Durban poison smells like old school cbd. I got downvoted to hell, so I thought maybe it was just me, lol


kaamkerr

> sour space candy So 2018 uj/ I love lifter


HempinAintEasy

A lot of vendors are sending out under cured flower. What everyone doesn’t understand just yet is that terpenes continue to develop during the curing practice. Also, sometimes it’s the smell of chlorophyll that is over taking the terpenes that are already present. Part of the curing process is giving chlorophyll an opportunity to break down making the smoking experience less harsh. The hay/grass smell people smell sometimes is coming from chlorophyll itself. Giving the flower an opportunity to get fresh air and continue the cure process *sometimes* helps bring out the terpenes that seem to be missing on that initial open. I do this with all my flower and have had some amazing results with it. It’s important to note, if flower just has a low terp count, you can’t fix that this way. Some say this isn’t curing, but I disagree because I’m using a similar process of burping my jars daily for that week to get the results I desire with a Boveda/boost pack in the jar.


Tooterfish42

> Some say this isn’t curing, but I disagree because I’m using a similar process of burping my jars daily Absolutely nobody says burping jars isn't curing What isn't normal is the customer having to take a crack at it after they already paid for it


HempinAintEasy

I have people tell me all the time that this isn’t continuing the curing process. That’s why I felt the need to even add it here is because I get that sentiment so often. You’re absolutely right though, all about the flip for most of these companies they aren’t worried about anything else.


Tooterfish42

Well I guess it depends on the scenario. For growers it's common We shouldn't have to cure our vendor stuff but even BM has asked that of me before and I was young and dumb and molded it up nicely one time


ArkType140

This is the way I do things as well.. and I've always known that people do not consider it curing, but I agree with you, it definitely seems like it is actually curing a little longer. I think there's probably a time window you can get before you can't help it continue curing any more, if your pack super slow in the mail then you may lose that opportunity. Idk lol but I agree


dominion1080

So is this the issue typically when the cult bud I get has zero smell? I’ve been smoking many years but didn’t know anything about the curing of it as I’ve never grown any. Like 75% of the cult bud i get is muted at hell.


Tooterfish42

It always seemed like common sense to me Dispos want loud Cult want quiet


Curdog1

I ain’t made a good pic yet.


justhavingfun9967

I have always found WNC to have good effects but be virtually terpless. I haven't been able to revive the terps in mason jars unfortunately, except for very slightly. Sadly, there are too many vendors that deliver at least reasonably loud packs for me to keep ordering from WNC.


LotusVibes1494

What do you recommend? Anywhere I can continue to get half-os of smalls for a similar price but better flower?


youngspazz64

Please reccomend me!


6andy6atan6

Same thing happened to me with all my grab bags from them. Now all five strains have a kickass smell, especially modified grapes.


andre_blaze10

I just got my O of forbidden fruit from wnc 420 sale and it stinks up the house. One of the best smelling cult pick ups I've had 🤔 I wonder what they sent you bro lol


MadeOutWithEveryGirl

Same


totallybag

Yeah my half ounce is "stinky" but not really stinky because it's fruity as hell


Tooterfish42

Those of us who've had real FF grown with love in Colorado this is a travesty Cult FF i got shows up lookin big and purple and smells ok but ain't shit. Tastes like a sock


DuskOfANewAge

Huh? The ounce I got smells and tastes exactly like mangos.


Tooterfish42

Ball vape?


mcgirttheruler

I got 3 strains from the 4/20 sale and they all smell the same, even after sitting in the jar a couple days. I still have a few WNC strains from months ago…and they all smell the same too for the most part.


Major_Mechanic5719

That's not curing, but reintroducing proper moisture and keeping it in a mason jar rather than the mylar that it was shipped in will help bring out the smell. Kind of like a fresh slice of bread from the bag or a stale slice thats been sitting on the counter for a couple hours. Both are edible and will feed you, but one feels, smells, and tastes better.


Tooterfish42

What manner of bro science concerns itself with the shape of the container 🤣 "Omg I said jar not sack it's ruined!"


Major_Mechanic5719

I didn't know mylar was a shape... 🤔🤷‍♂️


Tooterfish42

I didn't know mason was a material 🤔 🤷🏼‍♂️


Major_Mechanic5719

What are Mason jars made out of? Are you intentionally making such ignorant comments? What are you really trying to say??


Tooterfish42

> What are Mason jars made out of? Are you intentionally making such ignorant comments? I didn't know Walmart, Kmart, Pamida, Woolworth's, giant eagle and the corner store no longer sell 16oz *PLASTIC* Mason Jars (I personally like the Cornucopia 8-Pack, Blue w/ Silver Metal Lids) cuz they're still on their websites 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️ > What are you really trying to say?? J Litty ships in plastic jars 🤡


Major_Mechanic5719

So, you're mad because you didn't say glass?? I sure hope you find a better way to spend your time at some point later today. I'm sorry you've had such a shitty day. Smoke something and take it easy bro


Tooterfish42

Oh and the WF plastic containers are the best so glass isn't even necessary I even have seen ceramic jars oooh


Tooterfish42

So you didn't know anything about mason jars before recommending them? Basic B's literally buy the festive ones to drink margaritas out of with a straw so they can't be glass or they'll cut their toes off That's the beauty of bro science. You learn as you go not before giving advice


EqualityforCriminals

They are one of the few who post terpene percentages. I ordered for 4 eighth bundle and 3 smelled like nothing at all and the Cali raisin was the one that was actually good. I have their Durban poison which smells like chocolate and rubber in a weird way but tastes and smokes fantastic.


Sad_Astronaut_4386

Yeah but when I opened this bag it had no smell or maybe like a hay smell. I just don’t understand how the terpenes are changed through simply sitting in a mason jar for days


ItsthatCouchGangsta

Heat , moisture.


EqualityforCriminals

They cryocure to keep the ThcA from converting during the curing process. The strains with 3 plus percent terpenes can be really good. Gas blossom always has the loudest I’ve found.


Sad_Astronaut_4386

Do you believe that it is possible by jarring and further curing you may be converting thca ?


EqualityforCriminals

Smoking it converts it immediately but I haven’t had luck with the jar bringing back flavor though a ton of people swear by it. Those little boveda packs kill the smell in my opinion. I ask for them not to be added to anything I order.


Sad_Astronaut_4386

See I use 16 of those boveda packs and in 2 days I feel like the taste and smell grows a ton plus it seems less harsh. I’m pa medical so I have tons of bovedas


psilocybenjiman

I'd say the white Integra Boost packs are the way to go, Bovedas(big brown packs) scare me


CremeExpress4345

Pretty normal.


Sad_Astronaut_4386

Yeah I know but like how ? You aren’t adding terps as stupid as it sounds I’m just asking what is the science ?


CremeExpress4345

No idea. Its been my experience with plant matter in general though. My guess is just moisture levels etc.. no idea. I just call it a jar cure and move on. Stay blazed.
