The Intro: Grandpa’s Milk

---

In the pantheon of legendary strains, a new titan arises, cloaked in the nostalgia of bygone days and the velvety promise of relaxation—Grandpa’s Milk. This is not just a cannabis strain; it is a warm embrace from the past, a sativa-dominant hybrid that whispers tales of the old world while thrilling you with the excitement of the new.

Today, BTE introduces you to one of Turns Live Resin (LR) Masterpieces. Our team went into this review with differing expectations, and we’re pleased to report that it either met or exceeded them. This review, like all our reviews, follows the BTE SOP for Carts found at our website here:

The Lineage

---

As is the case with many cultivars in the cannabis taxonomic family, Grandpa’s Milk requires Grandpa’s Charm to find true the veracity of its lineage. This is another reason why cannabinoid profiles and terpene content are important! Based on info from trusted sources, we can say the following with confidence:

As legend has it, GM derives from three star-crossed sources: a 1994 Super Skunk (SS94), a 1992 OG Kush (OG92) and a 1970s Afghan Kush (AK74).

How many kids did Grandpa have? Ten?! That’s Grandpa’s Charm. They’ve bottled the Charm. Get some.

Visual Appeal: 9/10  With regard to the Oil itself, the resin boasts a vibrant, amber hue that promises a rich and immersive experience. The clarity and color of the product speak to its purity and high-quality extraction process, making it a visual treat for connoisseurs and casual users alike. The nearly perfect score is a testament to the attention to detail and care that went into its presentation, ensuring that it stands out in a crowded market while being conspicuously ordinary.

Information Clarity: 8/10 Turn does an admirable job with the clarity of information on the Grandpa’s Milk Live Resin Pod. The packaging provides essential details about the product, including strain type, potency, and potential effects, in a manner that is straightforward and easy to understand. While it covers the basics well, there’s a slight room for improvement in offering deeper insights into the extraction process or terpene profiles, which could further educate and engage users. Nonetheless, the information provided is more than sufficient for consumers to make an informed decision, reflecting a high level of transparency and consumer respect.

Packaging Quality: 9.5/10 Just like all it’s other products, the packaging of the Grandpa’s Milk is nothing short of exceptional. It’s evident that considerable thought has been put into not only protecting the product but also providing an aesthetically pleasing and functional unboxing experience. The packaging strikes a perfect balance between elegance and practicality, featuring robust materials that ensure the product’s integrity while highlighting its premium nature. The near-perfect score reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability and user satisfaction, setting a high standard for the industry in terms of design and environmental responsibility.

Consistency: 8/10

To test consistency, we purchased one cart in Sacramento, CA, at Connected; the other from Firehouse Turlock. These two locations are approximately 90 miles apart. Both products were for all intents and purposes identical in color, viscosity, and flavor.

Aroma Profile: 8.5/10

This strain is noted for its complex aroma profile, which include sweet, earthy notes with hints of creamy undertones, reminiscent of milk. Dominant Terpenes certainly include Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Linalool.

Initially, users are greeted with a sweetness that’s both inviting and rich, akin to the comforting aroma of milk. This initial sweetness is quickly followed by a surprising twist of gassy, garlicky pungency that expands significantly upon inhalation, offering a sensory experience that’s both unexpected and delightful. This combination of sweet and pungent notes makes Grandpa’s Milk particularly memorable for its flavor, appealing to users who appreciate a rich and multifaceted and fine-tuned olfactory experience.

The combination of these terpenes in Grandpa’s Milk results in a complex and appealing aroma. Users often report a primary scent that is sweet and creamy, closely resembling the comforting smell of milk. This sweetness is layered with earthy, musky undertones likely attributed to myrcene, and a hint of spicy, peppery notes from caryophyllene. The presence of limonene adds a subtle citrus freshness to the mix, while linalool brings a touch of floral softness, rounding out the overall aroma.

It is the synergistic effects of the combinations of this strains cannabinoids and terpenes which together make up a beautiful expression of the Entourage Effect.

Flavor Profile: 8/10

The flavor profile of Grandpa’s Milk is complex and nuanced, setting it apart from simpler strains while simultaneously lending it’s identification some ease because of its similarity with the aroma profile. Around 80% of humans ability to discern flavor is aromatic. When a cultivars aroma matches it’s flavor profile so regularly, it usually indicates a high-quality extraction method and superior flower production.

Vapor Density (6.75/10)

According to our Production Analyst, The Reviewer Gianotti, the production of vapor and it’s density weren’t sufficiently pronounced both before and after charging. Generally speaking, the disposables produce a far more dense pull than their Pod counterparts.

.

Smoothness 9/10 The analysis on smoothness receives high marks because it is incredibly smooth. And, again, while BTE does not subscribe to or recommend the usage of jargon like “Indica” or “Sativa”, we will use it referentially, like to say that our team was surprised this Sativa-Dominant Hybrid hit more like a heavy Indica. Additionally, some users may experience a smoothness that borders on deceitfulness (I say that like it’s a problem lol). The warmth and expansion in the lung components symbiote well with the milky, earthy, and sweet flavor and hitability.

Overall Experience 8.75/10 For user experience, which accounts for everything from battery life to hitability, from safety to expectations, we–knowing Turnspretty well at this point–awarded 8 points as a base

This is FIRE! 🔥A masterful mix of warmth, nostalgia, and potency. GM is not what it seems! When Jack submitted that GM was uniquely constructed, he was not kidding. I have found it considerably difficult to identify a parallel cultivar that combines such high-class genetics, benefits, and experiential outcomes. 

The Reviewer Gianotti

Onset and Duration: 8.5/10 The onset is rather quick with this one, eliciting feelings of relaxation and sedation. The typical psychoactive period runs about 45 – 60 minutes, primarily visceral and secondarily cerebral.

Potency: 9/10 The entourage effect is strong with this one, providing a greater effect than anticipated based on its numbers. This garners a near perfect score because it under-promises and over-delivers in a strong way.

Desired Effects: 9.5/10 We anticipated a semi uplifting and cerebral experience, but it was a pleasant surprise to find that it was calming and relaxing, particularly with regard to the body’s musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and endocannabinoid systems. It did stimulate the creativity and inquiry we enjoy very much, balanced well by the calming side of GM.

We noticed it assisted greatly in the aid of completing tasks of tedium and meticulousness, like filing paperwork, writing reports, and organizing data for analysis because the stimulating qualities of the oil combined well with the calming effects to prevent the mental wanderings most of us experience. This could be particularly helpful for those who have problems addressing ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. It may also serve well for those under a tight deadline at work or school, perhaps before a major examination. Further, this will aid those who would typically turn to dangerous pharmaceuticals to de-stress.

The perfect strain to experience alongside Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. Ah, it takes you back to, back to, back to the DAYS!

Lab Testing: 10/10 Turn tests all their products using third party associations to ensure quality.

Contaminants: 10/10 Rigorous standards, methods keep these pods and carts safe.

Childproofing: 10/10 The kids aren’t getting into this package and it doesn’t beg to be noticed by kids.

Price Point: 9/10 The price point ranges from $21 for disposables, to $45 for LR Pods.

Consumer Experience: 9/10 The pod technology itself is very convenient, it’s sleek and discreet. There were no mechanical or electric issues encountered for this product.

Reusability: (9/10)but obviously lacks the repeatability of the disposable cart. It enables discreetness and some anonymity in high-visibility areas.
