I had to work on 4/20 so I got a late start to all the fun and festivities, but the fellas and flowers at SDHHC made up for it. I walked in with a buddy of mine right at 4:20pm and Eddie had bowls ready for both of us to ring in the day at the right moment. They looked like they had had a busy day thus far, most of their jars were down towards the bottom of the barrel. Lucky for us, Ryan was in the process of refilling all the jars. Holistic Healing added a variety of yummy new meds to their menu for 4/20, like their $20/$60 Nixon OG and Fire OG, also their $18/$50 Band Master and Ogur Kush. The Band Master in particular caught my eye and is a steal at $50/eighth. These big, chunky, gooey buds reak of Sour OG. Its swollen, olive green calyxes take on a lighter shade of green due to the thick layer of trichs that overwhelm each bud. The trim job is adequate, but could use a little more love. I manicured a nug myself and was wowed by the inner beauty of this batch. Not only did I get a chunky $50/eighth of the Band Master, they also threw in a free half gram of their GDP Bubble Hash and two Indica THC Capsules as a 4/20 incentive!

The Band Master I got ended up tasting just like it smelled. Real sour inhale with earthy and citrus OG undertones on the exhale. Great expansion, but at the same time was still smooth and easy on the throat. The effects are of a strong indica high that left me heavy-headed, lazy and stuck watching shows on TV I normally wouldn't watch..lol. The GDP bubble has a pliable dark brown exterior with a lighter brown inside. I smoked it on a screen and though it doesn't melt down, it does bubble a bit and produce a thick sweet white smoke that gave me an awesome head change and left me lit. Not the best tasting bubble I've gotten from SDHHC, but hey it was free. I haven't had a chance to try the THC Pills yet, but when I do I will update my review. I was actually thinking twice about posting this review so soon because I wanted a chance to go back and pick-up some more of the Band Master before it's all gone. If you're into Headband or other sour/citrus tasting strains, then this is the bud for you! Don't forget to go on Sunday's and get $5 off your eighth, up to two eighths. That means $90 for a quarter of the Band Master!
