Ruxton (Sour OG) Strain Review (Broken Coast)
Contents
The expectations are automatically higher when the product’s price is higher than its competition, which goes for pretty much everything. After trying out this Broken Coast Cannabis flower I was very satisfied overall, and you’ll be able to tell after going through this Ruxton strain review.
This is a Sativa-leaning hybrid cultivar. It’s sold as a high-THC strain with little to no CBD, and it will most definitely get you lifted!
Ruxton is what Broken Coast named it, and it was sold as Sour OG. We could not confirm its parent strains on a breeder page, so we don't list a lineage. The dominant terpene on this batch was caryophyllene, and the profile also listed myrcene, limonene, linalool, and humulene.
Below is a detailed breakdown of Ruxton:
- Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid
- Potency: High THC, little to no CBD (exact numbers vary by batch)
- Terpene Profile: Caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, linalool, and humulene (as labeled)
- Packaging Details: Packaged on 11/20/2019 and tested/reviewed on 02/23/2020, exactly 95 days after being packaged.
- Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $46.30 at the SQDC in Montreal, Quebec, Canada ($13.23/gram)
A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy.
This product was bought legally in Quebec, where adults 21 and older can buy from government-operated stores. In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law outside narrow 2026 exceptions for FDA-approved and state-licensed medical products, and state laws differ.
Appearance: 3/5
I had to unstick the fluffy buds that were all stuck together in their nice little container that also stands out in itself; unsticking buds from themselves are delightful. There was a total of 6 nugs in the container, so no popcorn nuggets, which is always a plus.
The weed is of a dark green shade with light green spots, with some messy dark orange pistils sticking out. The trichomes on this weed push it over the top; the fluffy buds are completely covered in them, hence the stickiness. Although they do not add humidity pouches in their containers, there was absolutely no dryness issues.
The con here is the number of leaves and stems, but believe me; I’ve seen way worse.
Aroma: 4.5/5
When it comes to the aroma of this strain, you get diesel and lemon notes mixed with a “kushy,” piney aroma. It seems like every time I took a whiff, there was a new smell that I discovered.
It’s very aggressive, and in a good way; the entire room smells when you open the container.
Flavor: 4.5/5
The flavor is as pungent as the aroma of this flower; on the inhale, you get a kushy, diesel taste, which isn’t subtle at all. There are some sweet and lemony notes on the exhale and the aftertaste; it’s a very enjoyable taste.
This weed’s freshness makes the entire smoking experience exceptional; you get thick, white, and smooth smoke from this weed.
Effects: 3.5/5
Potency varies by batch, but the high from this one was somewhat of an unexpected slap in the face!
My tolerance is quite high, so I was surprised at how strong this was, a head and body high that completely slowed me down; after about an hour, the munchies and the pasties kicked in, and then it was straight to bed.
This aspect is always subjective, but I’ve smoked it a few times now, and I wouldn’t call it the most functional weed. It’s great if you want that “aggressive” high that stops you in your tracks.
Overall: 4/5
Another excellent product from Broken Coast Cannabis, just like Galiano Strain, was a very enjoyable strain; the high price tag was once again worth it. I would recommend this to anybody that wants to try really high-quality, flavorful, and great-smelling weed.
Beginners, beware, this will get you baked like a potato, so if you want to start slow, then I’d recommend trying something a little less potent.
Effects differ from person to person, and NIDA notes that anxiety, panic and hallucinations are more likely with strong THC products, large amounts or little experience. Start low if you're new.
