DOOBIE LABS | Pop Rocks | 3.5G

Doobie Labs Pop Rocks 3.5G Flower: Indica Eighth in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan Pop Rocks is a name more than one grower has used, so start with which one you are holding. This is the Doobie Labs Pop Rocks 3.5G Flower, an eighth in the brand's short round jar, and we carry it at Cannadreams, 862 9th Ave on the corner of West 56th Street in Hell's Kitchen. One name, several plants There is no official registry for cannabis strain names, so two breeders can end up using the same name for plants that have nothing to do with each other. Pop Rocks is one of those names. Several lines share it, and the lineage of the Doobie Labs version is not published. We will not pin a parent pair on it that the brand has not confirmed. We also have not found reliable tasting notes for this jar, so we are not printing any. What INDICA on the label means The jar label says INDICA, and Pop Rocks is listed as an Indica on our menu. In a dispensary, indica, sativa and hybrid are sorting labels that come from plant type and breeding history. They are not a promise about what any one jar will do. Among the three Doobie Labs eighths on our menu, Pop Rocks is the indica; Prizm and Eye Candy are both listed as hybrids. Sizing up a jar with no tasting notes With no solid notes online, this is how a budtender looks a jar over: Look first. Hold a bud up to the light and check how evenly the frost covers it, and whether the trim is neat or ragged. Feel next. Squeeze a bud gently. It should give a little and spring back, not crumble into dust or feel damp. Smell last. Give the open jar a few seconds, then smell it from a few inches away, and again after you break a bud. The first two words that come to mind are your tasting note. Read the label. Find the packaging date printed on it. The Doobie Labs eighth jar Doobie Labs puts its New York eighths in a short round jar with a black embossed cap and a label colored to match the strain. The Pop Rocks label reads PREMIUM CANNABIS FLOWER | NET WT 3.5g along with the INDICA marker. A hard jar survives a crowded commute better than a bag. Doobie Labs is a New York cannabis brand sold through the state's licensed supply chain. Building a Doobie Labs flight If you like trying a brand across its range, an eighth each of Pop Rocks, Prizm and Eye Candy adds up to 10.5 grams, one indica and two hybrids. Open them one at a time on the same night and compare the smell and the burn. Keep notes on your phone so you know which jar to reorder. Walking in instead We are a dispensary near Times Square, a short walk north of the crossroads, and walk-ins are welcome. You can also order online for in-store pickup, or ask us to set Pop Rocks next to the two Doobie Labs hybrids. Licensed, labeled, tested That label is the one thing a bodega baggie cannot show you. Humidity, steam heat and your jar In August the air is soupy, so keep the cap tight and the jar off a sun-baked windowsill. In January the radiators run dry and hot, so keep it well away from them. A closet shelf works. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
