Pink Grapefruit Lineage: Cinderella 99 x Burmese Kush
Cinderella – Jack herer x Shiva skunk – sativa effects come from here, probably!
First thing I notice about this strain is the nose. It’s got a hint of citrus, but mostly a sweet, fruity smell to it. It’s not the typical fruity weed smell you might expect, though. This one reminds me of something more tropical, like papayas. Reminds me of some Superboof cuts I’ve had in the past. Overall, I like it and it’s a strong smell.
The nugs are a little bit dryer than I usually get from LIT, but not so dry they crumble or anything like that. They’re still moist enough to see the trichomes stretch apart when I rip open a nug, and still rolls up well in a joint. The scent translates perfectly to flavor, even in a joint.
And the high definitely hits me like a sativa – a very happy, euphoric, motivating and uplifting buzz. It’s strong, but not even a little overwhelming or tiring. Perfect for getting some work done or going out during the day.
I rolled up a tiny joint of this, and it burned perfectly. Nice white ash, and had a good amount of resin building around the cherry. I’m very happy with this strain. Maybe I’ve just been on a sativa kick, but I’m loving these effects. What are some of your favorite sativa strains? Thanks for watching and take care.
Today, I was about to look for some strains to buy from LIT, when I realized that maybe I should make a video, showing every detail I look over before buying a strain from LIT, to make sure I get the best flower possible, according to my preferences.
To start with, I always buy Supreme flower for smoking. I’m okay with buying essential tier for making edibles or other products, but personally, I enjoy smoking the highest quality flower I can find, and luckily I’m in a position to afford it, so I only smoke that. Essential and preferred will still be good enough, if you’re looking for budget bud, but I personally am not.
I check for strains and lineages that I know I enjoy, and if I don’t know one, use a site like leafly or allbud to learn about them.
Then, I check the COA’s (Certificates of Analysis – Lab Reports) to find one piece of information; who grew this strain/where it came from. I exclusively buy strains that were grown by LIT Farms themselves, as I know they have a long, solid history as a seed bank and cannabis grower for legal, medical cannabis markets, going back years before the THCa market was even here yet. There’s nothing wrong with Fresh Bros or any other supplier, but I personally am here for the LIT flower.
If the COA says LIT Farms, I’m good to go! Thanks for watching, and let me know what your process is!

-One of my favorite terp profiles of all time. This scent smacks me around in the best way, straight lemon, pine cleaner type smell. The high is one of my favorite, ever, enveloping you with euphoria and happiness, along with energy and motivation to get out into the world. This one is always one of my top favorite strains of ALL TIME, let alone from LIT.
#2: Trainwreck
-This one has a great, pine-forward, gassy scent, and absolutely punches. The potency on this one is crazy, hits immediately (like a train crash) and takes every piece of your body and soul straight up.
#3: Gelonade
-Has a nice fruity, tropical kind of smell to it, with a smooth, euphoric, relaxing sativa high that still leaves you with motivation and energy.
This one has a nice smell to it, one that really reminds me of grapefruit. There’s some citrus in there as well, but somehow grapefruit dominates, in my opinion. Translates pretty well to taste, too!
These nugs are super dense and not very sticky, but they’re definitely not dry, either. They do break down nice and easy.
High is an awesome sativa feeling, to me at least. Euphoric but relaxed, heady tingles, and just very motivated. This one doesn’t take me out of the game at all, I can keep working or whatever I’m doing without even thinking about it. Seems pretty good for socializing as well!
Overall, I’m pretty happy with this one! If you watch my videos, you may know I’ve been in desperate need of a good sativa, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for watching! Let me know how you like this strain!
The nose on this one is mostly gassy and skunky, with just a touch of floral lemon in the background. Smells a little bit chemically, almost like smelling an actual sharpie.
The cure is okay, not exactly my favorite, but not bad at all. Nugs are pretty dense, not super moist, a little bit sticky, but not as sticky as most bags I get from LIT.
That being said, this one really hits. The potency is not lost at all, it’s a very strong high. After vaping a bowl, I had to take a minute to sit down and let an entire cold sweat pass over me, I was not expecting to get so blasted at all. That feeling quickly turned into a very relaxing high, everything slowed down and I could just feel a smile forming on my face.
To me, Sharpiez feels perfect for staying in all day and getting lost in some good movies or books. I feel like I could really focus on a movie right now, and I definitely don’t feel like doing much else after that bowl. I don’t think I COULD use it for much else with how hard it hits me 😂
The nose on this one is great, nice and strong. Pretty heavy on the gas scent, like strong fuel with a decent amount of a sweet, blueberry citrus cream in the background. It’s definitely delicious! The taste shows off more of the creamy, sherbet side of things.
The high on this one is extremely creative! 3 hits in and my brain was just flooded with new ideas for all sorts of different artsy projects and things I now want to get done. It is a VERY nice buzz, in my opinion! Very calming, uplifting and just fun feeling. This one also got me feeling very chatty. I’m usually a pretty quiet person (if you couldn’t tell from my style of video 😂) but this strain had me so invested in a conversation with my family. this one would be great for anyone with social anxiety, or maybe people finding themselves in a creative slump. It’ll get that spark right back!
Nugs are just about perfectly cured. Nice and sticky, trichomes stretch apart, and it lasts a nice long time in both the vape and a regular old bowl. Overall, I’m very happy with this strain, and it’s definitely my new go to for anything that requires creativity and a calm focus. Thanks for reading, and happy smoking!
Why I buy my THCa Flower from LIT Farms. (Almost Exclusively.)
1. They have roots in the industry.
The THCa market all started in 2018, when the Farm Bill (Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018) was passed in the US. Just about every THCa vendor was founded around this time, or after. The 2018 Farm Bill started everything in this market, but it took another few years after that for most vendors to start really testing the waters, and getting bold enough to sell full on, natural THCa flower.
But, none of that really matters here, because LIT Farms was founded by Ray Schiavone in 2017, to breed and cultivate strains for the legal medical market and home growers around the world. Before this, Ray was co-founder of Tahoe Hydroponics, another company that grew medical cannabis for Nevada, starting in 2014.
In fact, at both the 2016 & 2017 Jack Herer Cup in Nevada, (a cannabis competition,) Ray & his team won 1st place for all 3 categories of flower; sativa, indica, and hybrid. Keep in mind, this is years before the THCa market was even a thought in anyones mind.
By 2018, LIT is well established, and very successfully breeding and growing cannabis. They create well known strains like Sticky Rice, Apples and Bananas, Formula 1, Temptation, and over 100 more. They spend a few years selling the seeds they breed, until February of 2024, when they start selling their own flower on their website as well.
Can you find a single other vendor that actually has roots in the industry like that? And can genuinely, very easily prove it with a quick google search? I haven’t seen any others that have that same history, personally. LIT flower is even sold in Nevada & Pennsylvania dispensaries, to this day!
2. The Price:Quality Ratio!
Their LIT Grown, supreme tier flower is some of the highest quality herb you’ll find on this THCa market, without paying about double the price. It’s the same price as I expect to pay at my favorite dispensaries in Michigan, which is a bit of a weed capitol! These prices and quality are even better than a lot of states dispensary programs.
And, with the Supreme tier strains they grow, I always have a good experience. Always a good cure, nice moist flower with a potent buzz and delicious terps.
3. They don’t entertain the BS
Some equally large vendors use manipulative tactics on the THCa subreddits, like mass upvotes/downvotes on posts, creating fake accounts, using AI to advertise, etc. Keep your eyes open, you’ll see some shady things in these forums. LIT does it the best way I could think of, they keep quiet and just let their flower do all the talking. This is something that only people with experience in the weed game seem to understand; good flower sells itself! You don’t need to engage in all the manipulation if you have good flower, you can just let it do it’s thing and the people will flock. And that’s exactly what they do.
4. So, why all the bad reputation?
If you’ve spent a lot of time on the same subreddits I mentioned earlier, you’ve probably seen a fair amount of people trashing LIT. While some of these posts and situations are real, (any vendor will have issues occasionally,) many of them are not. A certain group of people repeatedly took pictures of moldy flower from google, and falsely claimed they came from LIT.
I could only speculate, but I’d bet this is driven by competing vendors, as well as vendors that actually resell LIT flower, and don’t want their customers going straight to the source.
I bought two different versions of this strain, Ice Cream Runtz, so I could do a comparison. Which is better between the essential and the supreme version?
The supreme has smaller nugs, but much better bag appeal, scent, taste, smoothness and an extremely strong high.
The essential has much bigger nugs, but less bag appeal, scent, taste, has a slightly harsher smoke, and is more of a chill buzz compared to a strong high.
If you’re someone who enjoys indoor, potent flower, supreme is definitely the best tier for you. If you’re someone who enjoys sun grown, mellow flower, essential is absolutely the tier for you, and at a 3rd of the price as well. Can’t go wrong!
Overall, both of these options have their time and place, their pros and cons. It really just comes down to you and your preferences!
Personally, I prefer the supreme tier, I love an overall deluxe, craft cannabis experience, and this certainly delivers. Thanks for watching, and happy smoking yall!
Nose is loud pine and citrus, with just a tiny touch of cream from the Runtz in the background. Cure is beautiful, when I pull a piece off of a nug, I can watch the super resinous trichome strands peel apart, like cheese on a pizza when you lift a slice. It’s beautiful, and one of my favorite signs of quality flower.
Flavor is a little more fruity and sweet, with more gas as well.
This one is widely known as a strong indica, and I can feel that, but to me personally, it hits a little bit more energetic than an average indica. I’m definitely highly relaxed & stoned, with a very clear and calm mind, just not couch locked at all. I wouldn’t mind going for a nice long walk in the sun on this strain. It will definitely help me sleep when I smoke it at night, though. I’d say it’s a good strain for any time of the day personally, despite it being a strong indica. It’s a great one to really relax, forget all your issues and worries, and just take deep breaths as the world slows around you.
Pink Kitty is WAP (Cheetah Piss x Project 4516) x Zoap. The Zoap really shines through, this strain smells like every cut of Zoap I’ve ever had: A little sweet, a little fruity, and with this clean, almost fuzzy feeling. Please tell me someone understands what I’m saying with that? I get that it’s a weird way to describe a scent 😂
The flavor is a little sweet, with some spicy, floral earthiness. Very smooth smoke, with a nice taste that lingers on the tongue. The effects kick in immediately, starting in the head, killing any anxieties and getting me feeling good, euphoric, giggly and happy. This strain is giving me a very strong desire to create things, I couldn’t wait to get started filming this video. It’s a strong hybrid to me, overall very creative yet relaxed, calm and feeling great.
The cure on the nugs is perfect, they all pass the squish test with flying colors. Nice and sticky, super resinous, milky white, full headed trichomes. This is some of the most beautiful bud out there! Very happy with this one.
