Marijuana Review: Bubble Bomb by Doc Croc

September 16, 2015 By Fischer Campbell

Bubble Bomb by Doc Croc, sold at Stash Pot Shop

On any given day, there are many tasks to be done. Sometimes you really need an herb to help accomplishing the daily dues more efficiently, alternatively there are times when you need something to help you forget the duties that need doing. Your local CBD shop probably has so many choices that it’s hard to know which product will be best for you. Voila, along comes Bubble Bomb to give you it’s beguiling boon.

The bud at hand this week is (obviously) Bubble Bomb, grown by Doc Croc. This particular strain was purchased from the Ballard area Stash (a rustic pot shop close to some of my favorite breweries, and restaurants). They have a second location in Lake City, which we have yet to visit.

Doc Croc consists of a couple Australian cobbers who know their shit. When it comes to growing, the Olympia-based producer only uses water – no dirt required. This makes for a fantastically potent and scrumptious product, offering bright flavors and giddy highs. True that Washington has a bounty of prolific soil (we boast many harvests of varying types), but there’s something to be said for completely hydro grown nugs.

As the Doctor (Tennent specifically) said, “Water is patient. Water just waits. Wears down the cliff tops, the mountains. The whole of the world. Water always wins.” When it comes to dirt vs. water, I don’t have enough quantitative information to decide which always wins – but it’s certain that the differing grow styles produce unique results.

Considering water as a powerful element, it’s almost like harnessing something wild to produce a superior product. Let’s take a look at das specifics of said product:

THC: 1.57%
THC A: 20.4%
CBD: 0.16%
Total: 19.5%

Strain: Bubble Bomb
Species: Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa)
Smell: Lemon + Grape + Lavender + Skunk
Taste: Lavender + Freshness + Earthiness
Launch Point: Within two minutes, you will be high.
High: Relaxed + Social + Getting Tasks Done + Forgetting About Tasks

Cracking open a bag of Doc Croc has proved a festive experience, yielding multicolor inhabitants of proper proportion. In the 1 gram package of Bubble Bomb I received, there was just one big nug; it was quite fluffy, and displayed a keen palette of similar (but different) color. Talking about keef crystals too, this herb is covered with a layer of love (as you can see).

Smell is exquisite – sporting a menagerie of fruit, floral, and funky tones. Truly a bud that must be smelled to understand, but centrally boasting fragrance of lavender and grape.

The taste is surprisingly earthy for a strain that wasn’t grown in the earth. There is also a hint of lavender carrying over from the perfume-like aroma. The flavor seemed to be more intense when hitting from a vaporizer, as it often seems (I imagine it’s because smoke overwhelms the palate).

This, my reader, is a versatile strain. As I touched on in the opening paragraph, Bubble Bomb is there for when responsibility calls – whether that means meeting the challenge, or escaping into a cavalcade of pleasant headiness, away from this mortal world.

I can’t quite recall what I did specially while smoking Bubble Bomb, but I do remember having fun. There was grilling, hard cider, good people, and gold weather. “Days off should be spent among such things”, I remember thinking. Time can be controlled with a good strain, and this particular bud helped me absorb that sun bleached afternoon if only for a moment.

If you’re into totally hydro, or just interested in experiencing the difference – swing by Stash and check out some Doc Croc product. You won’t be let down.

Marijuana Review: Mystery Machine by Doc Croc

September 9, 2015 By Fischer Campbell

Marijuana review: Mystery Machine by Doc Croc sold at Stash Pot Shop in Ballard

What’s your idea of a Mystery Machine?  Perhaps a blue police box that’s bigger on the inside; all filled with switches, buttons, and levers – capable of time travel.  Or maybe a technicolor van pluming purple smoke from the back, sporting some fashionably retro crime-solving hipsters yelling zoinks and the like.

Regardless of what your perception is, this weeks WA marijuana review is Mystery Machine (a first time strain for this author).  The herb is made by Doc Croc, a producer whom are exclusively featured at newly opened Stash pot shop (locations in Ballard, and Lake City).

Doc Croc hails out of Olympia, Washington.  Jennifer (an excellent budtender at the Ballard Stash) informed me that the producer was comprised of a couple Australian fellows, and that all their herb was grown hydroponically (not sure if it’s a real word, but it should be).  As their instagram profile says, “totally hydro grown with zero dirt”.  Their packaging has a pretty badass green crocodile flexing his guns, too.

Let’s see some specifics of the gnarly product:

THC: 1.32%
THC A: 26.2%
CBD: 0.14%
Total: 28.1%

Strain: Mystery Machine
Species: Hyrbid (50:50)
Smell: Earthiness + Spice
Taste: Tea + Bonfire + Skunk
Launch Point: Moments after smoking
High: Deep + Heady + Euphoric + Intense

This potent strain has a neon look to it, as you can see in the summer bleached photos.  The golden nug is caked in white powder, truly a finely cured specimen.  It felt almost natural to lay the buds out, letting them bask in the sun.

Mystery Machine’s aroma is that of a rustic nature, bustling with a rich earthiness – especially after being freshly ground in my grinder, the strain has a deep spice scent as well.  It’s always so interesting to me how one type of herb can have such a pungent stink, while on the other hand some can be super subtle: this particular sample is more on the subtle side.

The bud crumbles up nicely, and smokes thorough – whether using conventional glass, or vaporware.  Smooth smoke no matter how you cut it.

The high is intense, and comes on quick.  Moments after smoking it was abundantly clear that this is some serious chronic.  I wouldn’t suggest drinking strong beers/cocktails, and then winding down with a little Mystery Machine – no no no, this is the strain you use before you start drinking.

Rarely has a bud kicked my ass as much as Mystery Machine did (the first try), but sure enough I’m back on the horse and without the inclusion of several Imperial IPA’s, the strain has a truly majestic/euphoric high that I really enjoy.  I’d recommend this bud to anyone looking to have a fun time in the sun, or those looking to really dig into a creative project.

There is a certain level of burnout that comes with a such a high total percent, so expect to feel a little drowsy – and maybe have a coffee, or tea, to jog along with Mystery Machine.

Doc Croc has made me very interested, and High Above Seattle will certainly revisit this producer for some more of their green scaley strains.  Remember, you can only get Doc Croc products at the two Stash pot shop locations!  See you next week.
