Island Pink Head Strain Review (Dunn Cannabis)
For this cannabis strain review, I tried out some Island Pink Head produced by Dunn Cannabis under the Shelter Craft brand. I had a great experience with their Karma flower, but this one fell short.
This indica-dominant hybrid was labeled high in THC with very little CBD. Exact numbers vary by batch, so check your package's lab label.
Below is an in-depth Island Pink Head strain review.
Lineage: Not confirmed on an official breeder page
Terpene Profile: Caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, bisabolol and linalool were listed for this batch; profiles vary by grower and batch
Packaging Details: Packaged on 11/23/20 and tested/reviewed on 05/01/21, exactly 159 days later. Lot# 20-P82
Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $32.00 at Shelter Market ($9.14/gram), a sale price at the time of review. The regular price was $40.00.
Appearance: 2.5/5
The main issue was dryness, which hurt every category. Dry flower loses aroma and flavor and smokes harsher.
I rehydrated it with a humidity pouch for 72 hours to bring some of the smell back. The trim wasn't great, with too many leaves left on.
The buds were emerald green with a few purple calyxes and orange pistils, under a layer of grey trichomes.
Aroma: 3/5
Island Pink Head
At first, the gassy, kushy smell was faint. A day in a jar with a humidity pouch didn't bring it back, but three days did.
The earthy notes came through more once the weed was ground.
Flavor: 2/5
Island Pink Head
This Island Pink Head always felt like it should be better than it was. The smoke was smooth, but the flavor was muted.
Hints of some gassy kush remained on the palate on the exhale, but it wasn’t anything to write home about.
Effects: 3/5
Island Pink Head
The effects leaned heavily toward an indica-style high. They came on strong and fast, before I finished my joint.
It hit behind the eyes and relaxed my body, but lethargy followed quickly. Effects vary from person to person, and NIDA notes that strong products and little experience make anxiety or panic more likely.
This isn’t early morning weed if you want to have yourself a productive day!
Overall: 2.5/5
This was an interesting experience, but not as good as Gorilla Glue and Hawaii Heartbreak. The potential is there, mostly held back by dryness.
I would try a fresher batch from Dunn Cannabis, since their Karma was excellent.
