Strawberry Horchata– Strawberry Horchata is a potent hybrid strain, blending Strawberry Cough with Horchata (Jet Fuel Gelato x Mochi Gelato.) The scent is strong strawberry cream, and the flavor really brings out the gelato again, with a creamy vanilla taste. Absolutely delicious strain.
Nugs are beautifully cured, perfectly sticky and moist, and break up great. Effects are very potent, it really brings out the uplifting effects from the strawberry cough, as well as the relaxing effects of a gelato strain. Just a perfect hybrid for just about any occasion or time of day.
I’ve had the same grinder for about 10 years now. After updating all of my other smoking accessories, I decided it was time to upgrade my grinder game. After seeing a couple recommendations for the Flower Mill, I decided to pull the trigger. I’m so glad I did!
This video of mine sums it up here, and shows how quickly it grinds.
But essentially, this is the best “grinder” I’ve ever bought. I put that in quotes because it’s not truly a grinder, it has no teeth! Instead, it uses a rotating plate and stationary screen to mill your herb, keeping it fluffy and perfectly uniform.
A regular grinder’s teeth just tear up the flower and damage it’s trichomes, while getting clogged up with sticky kief. With the Flower Mill, there are no clogs, and your flower stays potent and flavorful.
One of the best parts is that you can swap out the milling screen for a total of 5 different grind sizes. The default is 3, here are a few examples of the others;
1 – Extra Fine Grind2 – Fine Grind5 – Extra Coarse Grind
Overall, I’ve been very happy with how the herb comes out in this. It stays so fluffy and airy that you can actually feel the difference in the smoke. With the different size screens, I can have the perfect grind for different vape setups, or just a typical blunt, whatever the occasion calls for.
I couldn’t see myself going back to a regular grinder!

Whenever I get a new strain, one of my favorite things to do is take a whole photoshoot of it. I love using a macro lens for this, as it lets me see the flower in great detail. I really enjoy looking at the trichomes, and making sure there’s no visible mold or anything else that I don’t want to smoke. Here are a few examples of photos that have made people say “How are you taking these pictures?!”
I’ll break down my process for taking these pictures in a few simple steps:
Use a Macro Lens attachment for your phone. I got This Cheap Macro Lens, and I love it. It’s super simple, just snaps right on to your phone camera, and suddenly you can take amazingly close, detailed pictures of almost anything.
Make sure your environment is well-lit. It will be basically impossible to take decent pictures if the lighting in your area isn’t great. I make sure to have my ceiling light on, and I also use This Hand-Held, Rechargable Light to make sure there’s a close light source as well. The sun is also a great option, if available.
Clean your camera and lens attachment. These can easily get smudged, ruining the quality of all your pictures.
Get close to the flower. You want the lens to be about 1-2 millimeters away from your subject. You’ll definitely see when it’s close enough.
Focus, and take a lot of pictures. Always remember to tap your screen to get the object completely in-focus on your camera. In addition, I’ll take a bunch of pictures back to back, while moving the camera ever so slightly, just to make sure I get a bunch of good options to choose from.
Enjoy your new macro photography hobby! Congrats, you’ve officially begun macro photography in the easiest, cheapest way I’ve found. If you’re anything like me, it will spawn an addiction!
So, you’ve been smoking for a while now. You’re getting pretty used to the effects you’ve been feeling. Maybe even.. too used to them? Or maybe you just can’t partake right now for any number of other reasons.
If you’ve found this page, I’m assuming you’ve already realized what point you’re at, and what you need to do about it. You may need a tolerance break!
Luckily, taking a tolerance break doesn’t have to be as hard as it seems! Just about every seasoned stoner has been there. It’s all in your mindset and perspective, my friend. Let’s dive into this a bit;
How do I know I might need a tolerance break?
Weed isn’t getting you as high as you want to be
You’re feeling brain fog
You’re anxious, sad or irritable every time you smoke
You’re spending too much money on weed
You’re spending too much time on weed
If I take a tolerance break, what effects will I experience?
That depends pretty heavily on how long you’ve been smoking, how good your product is, how often you smoke, and probably many more factors. But generally, most people will experience a few or all of these symptoms:
Decreased sleep quality
Decreased appetite
Mood Swings
Boredom
Intense dreams
Cold sweats at night
How can I make my tolerance break easier?
Essentially, a lot of self care.
Exercise – Hit the gym, go for a run, get on the floor and do some pushups if you need to. The more physically tired you get yourself, the better. For one thing, you’ll sleep much better if your body is tired out. You might not even notice the insomnia! Another benefit is the natural release of endorphins when you exercise. The runners high is no joke! When all your body wants is that elevated feeling, exercise can certainly duplicate it.
Hobbies – One of the hardest parts of a tolerance break can be the extreme boredom. The goal here is to keep your mind off of your tolerance break. If you’re sitting there fantasizing about smoking again, you’re just going to feel worse and worse. Instead, fill your time with just about anything. Read or write a book, draw some doodles, craft something, play an instrument, do a puzzle, play some video games, get lost in a movie, or even discover a brand new hobby. The world is still your oyster, even without the green.
Replace your Rituals – Personally, I love the ritual of smoking or vaping about as much as the act itself, so I replace it as well. Rather than grind up flower and pack a bowl, I’ll boil some water and steep a tea bag. I find it to be a great way to achieve a similar level of relaxation in my day. I get the process of physically preparing something, and then I can sit down and have a nice sip sesh as well.
CBD Flower – If you have access to it, CBD flower can be helpful in achieving a very similar ritual, as well as providing your body with all the benefits of your green, without any of the high. This method could be useful for helping you get back to sleep if you’re struggling with that. Personally, I find that this method can be a slippery slope, and usually just makes me want the real thing even more. Many people do have success with this, though!
How long will these tolerance break side effects last?
I find that the worst of it is over in about one week, though everyone is different. It could take you a couple of weeks. Generally speaking, after one week your appetite, sleep pattern and mood regulation should be much closer to normal again. Boredom can still be in full force, if you’re not actively fighting it!
How long should my tolerance break be?
This one is personal preference. If you’re a heavy smoker, even one day off will make a big difference in the effects you feel when you smoke again. I like to take occasional 7 day breaks to help my tolerance, and then a 30 day break when my body lets me know it needs one. This ensures my tolerance stays lower for longer once I come back to smoking.
How should I come back to smoking?
When you smoke again, start small! It won’t take much at all. After a few days off, I make sure to start with one puff to see how it’ll hit. Jumping right back in to the heavy hitters is a surefire way to raise your tolerance right back to where it was before.
