Grower: Tropical Thunder/Tropical Pistachio

Rating: 4.5

Last November I was lucky enough to sample Tropical Thunderโ€™s very excellent Total Eclipse (I believe their pheno #1). They have now sent through their Total Eclipse pheno #3, a bud which remains excellent but with some different aromas and flavors.  #3 comes out of its packaging with a fizzy fermented essence with strong fruity notes of strawberry and green sour grapes. The aromas reminded me of the type of liquors that I was prone to drink in my inexperienced teenaged years. The flavor mirrors the aromas with strong sweet fermented fizzy grape notes.

#3โ€™s high is fairly consistent with #1โ€™s high, the bud keeps the brain alert and functioning but at a slower and more destressed speed and with a content feeling of satisfaction. An excellent way to engage in work in a deliberate and thoughtful, if not speedy, manner.

Total Eclipse #3 like #1 is highly recommended to experienced consumers and recommended to novice consumers in moderation.  The bud has good fruity and fizzy flavors and aromas which will delight all sweet leaning consumersโ€”and a great functional high. Tropical Thunder is a grower that has time after time shown they understand quality and provides their consumers an excellent cannabis experience.
