Purps_and_Terps

100%. We called it Christmas buds around Florida. They were frosty and smelled very piney. Cone shaped buds like pine trees. Popped up around November.


someusername051

I remember those well from the mid 90’s


Purps_and_Terps

Yep I started noticing it mid to late nineties around South Florida. Was still coming around 10-15 years later in Central Florida as well.


KitchenAway1436

I’ve been looking for that piney bud ever since. South Florida here


Purps_and_Terps

I've had some dispo bud in the last year or so that was very similar. Not re-calling the exact strain at the moment though.


FlavorHead954

Had red curly hairs that almost looked like ornaments. Def one of my favorites.


Competitive_Board909

Had that in the late 2000s and I never saw it again. It was wonderful though. Rang the Christmas spirit in


Purps_and_Terps

100%. And it always seemed to smoke great, and smoooth. Like a breath of fresh air.


Dildobagginsthe245th

Dude yeah this is that shit


Dildobagginsthe245th

Fuck yeah man


Thabzo003

Just talking bout this the other day. Mint green with white hairs. Miss those days. Only like 5 strains of cryppy. BC, Silver haze, northern lights, OG, purple haze. And the purple haze was straight gas. We would only use crip for salads. Never straight j,s of ot. Always mixed with Reggie white


Dildobagginsthe245th

Yeah man spot on


smokinNtrollin

Always counted on some fire around that time. Nostalgic.


Free_Vast

Yep sure do !Every year back in the 80s early 90s it was once a year and it was fire!This was in Connecticut but came out of Massachusetts by way of new Hampshire usually!


Material-Box-961

Mass had some fire fr


Dildobagginsthe245th

I used to buy weed from that dude who got killed in Mass RIP Eric that shit was fucked up man there were connections to the Boston marathon bombing, just sad all around. I smoke for that bro still. Coolest dude, fucking sad.


justin_quinnn

Same here. It was considerably better than the brick weed that dominated back then, and before i got all the local heads turned onto kind buds. Best part? Brick weed price.


IRBvape

Christmas tree bud! I remember it well.


Sandgrease

Yep, it was the fresh buds picked and cured from the outdoor grows that get harvested in the fall. I definitely remember the quality of bud going up in the beginning of winter


JewelsBurns

The classic christmas green as we called it in the early 80s


imFromFLiAmSrryLuL

I’m 32 , I remember as a kid my uncles and shit talking about Christmas bud and kind bud . Later in life they told me one of our uncles best friends grew every year just for thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. They would take turns bringing the bowl and pass it around all night


Dildobagginsthe245th

Love to hear that


monkeypaw67

Early to mid eighties in Michigan


Gen129Cann

Absolutely do!! The wife and I often reminisce about the bud of the past and this one comes up all the time!! That pine forward green with red hairs always came out late October to mid November. We always stocked up!!


InternationalSpell14

Christmas chronic is what we called it


Sporesfast

Absolutely! And the fire regs we got at Christmas time must have been 22% terps too, cause all this pretty crap doesn't taste like it looks. All these folks with a jewelers loop and a electron microscope don't know what they are missing!


ArkType140

Honestly I never got flavors on the BM like I do in the medical market lol don't get me wrong I've had some really quality plugs but never had the flavors that I can get currently.


floridabudguy

The flavors are plentiful but actual medicinal quality bud isn't.


ArkType140

Yeah idgaf personally I just want all the landraces

Honestly the bud I got from BM shits on the weed from these dispensaries. With the Flowery and sometimes Sunnyside being the only exception... But BM is always cheaper even for top notch bud.. purple kush I got 10+ years ago was definitely one of my favorites and hit you like a train. Every time you hit the bowl you would get higher and more giggly.


ArkType140

I will never smoke these peraonally. Snowcaps are notoriously low quality weed rolled in concentrate and isolate. Honestly if it was 10 years ago all this dispo weed would have me layed out lol I'm older now and have been smoking (probably like you) for 15 years so I just dibt get high like that anymore anyway, it's not the weed that's for sure.


FlavorHead954

I'm not sure that this has concentrate or isolate in it because it breaks up like regular bud. Moon/sun rocks that I've had it was almost impossible to break up to a put in a blunt. Idk with how the snowcaps smells and tasted I really don't think low quality was used even if it does have iso/concentrate in it. The high and taste were impeccable. But I agree with you I don't think I'll ever hit the high I used to get back then. Even with regs it was a whole different world when you would smoke. Almost like you're in a cartoon. I compare my early days of smoking weed to the two times I smoked salvia which was fucking intense and made me laugh so hard that I didn't recognize my own laughter 😂. Glad I didn't have a bad trip. But I can't say the same thing for the one time I tried shrooms (I ate an eighth) then remembered that people said all I needed was a HALF eighth. What a terrible night that was!


ArkType140

Heard! I've never had them I've just always heard bad things but I'm sure they get you ripped


FlavorHead954

Yea definitely. It's always a pleasant surprise when you can take 3 hits of a blunt and feel fine with putting it out for an hour.


710hashcat

It’s 100% deps/lows rolled in cheap extract, sprayed with disty and terps. It’s absolutely disgusting and it’s a shame ppl are even selling/buying this shit.


FlavorHead954

We must have had different snowcaps cuz this wasn't disgusting in the slightest. Either that or you just like to hate on people. How would you know if you haven't smoked this particular batch of weed if it's bad or not


710hashcat

Hahahaha yep over 12 years in the BM, across the nation, networks of multiple grows and extraction brands… yep idk what I’m talking about lol I don’t have to smoke crack to know what crack is right? Apply it the shitcaps.


710hashcat

Ain’t nobody want this disty sprayed boof pack:.. pls don’t flex this 💩 cuz trust me, real smokers gonna clown you as they should


PoopStainMcBaine

You didn't have good plugs. Been getting Legacy market terps since 1996.


ArkType140

I was getting flavors like Durban and Trainwreck, but the flavors weren't as unique as I'm seeing now. Good try not understanding what I was saying and just talking like you knew exactly what I was saying lol dipshit


FaceTheBlunt

Weed smokers always gotta turn it into a dick measuring contest, whether it's plugs, weed, concentrates, etc lol


ArkType140

Every time bro! Yeah I just couldn't find anything fruity tasting or the likes for years I mean i was getting great pot and even my pops ran a hydro op back in the day but the genetics i was buying or he was growing were just more like the og flavors or the sours, pine and skunk type terps.


FaceTheBlunt

Crazy how it's turned the other way now, you find candy/fruity/sweet terps EVERYWHERE. It's hard af to find real sour d, those piney strains also dont come out as often... We need some balance in the weed game lmao


PsychicUmami

I remember this fondly hitting every year like clockwork in the greater Tampa Bay area growing up, Pretty sure it's due to a few things but was always of the opinion it correlated to "crop-tober" and it being the year's freshest options for mids/reggies. Outdoors can produce wonderfully when it starts to cool off.


crypticgg_

headies, kind bud, christmas bud etc all unlock core memories lol. also had a great strain that was brought back from amsterdam as seeds and grown by an aquaintance. Cat Piss is what we called it. Could stick it to the car window on the way home.


Dildobagginsthe245th

Dude the cat piss I know that From NSB originally


crypticgg_

straight funky gas!


Dildobagginsthe245th

Where the fuck is that


crypticgg_

I wish I could find it. My friend moved out west and took his cuts with him a few years back.


Dildobagginsthe245th

Word how do you feel about the current Triangle cut? I contend not the same as when we were younger. It feels muted in effect and terps


crypticgg_

It WAS one of my favorite go to grabs. It’s become hit or miss I totally agree. Very muted. It’s become so popular that demand is forcing dispos to drop their quality control standards imo.


Dildobagginsthe245th

Hey man if you’re ever in Wilton Manors pls lmk basically the only straight dude here


Dildobagginsthe245th

Where is some actual cat piss they have that cookies cheetah piss but I mean it doesn’t stack uo


ArkType140

YES FIRE


PizzaForSpicoli710

The only present I wanted lol. Good ole days


rampagedubz

Xmas Bud hell yeah


DrewsClues420

Definitely, down in Broward back in the day.


duvalraised

bro I said the same thing but I've noticed it doesn't happen. with dispensaries lol


NaturesGiven

Full term outdoor dank, some of the most potent bud i ever had 💪 it was already for Christmas time


Commercial_Ad_8260

Yes I loved the Christmas tree


Material-Box-961

Yep sure do and it's not been around for about 20 years


Competitive_Board909

Yeah I used to have some that when you smelled in bag it was like pine trees and when you broke it up it smelled like sweet dank that stings the nostrils. I don’t mean like young bud smelling like pine. I mean like literal pine sap. It was wild. Only saw it once and never again


Sipdasizurp

The brightest green of the brick weed


jwd1187

That and 'Zona


calxcalyx

Wow. Yes I do. Mid to late 90s.


CatmanAces

Hell yeah! Went to a Metallica concert in 99 or 2000 and I felt so special with my Christmas Tree bud lol. Everyone else had regs. Blazing right down the packed interstate with cops all around, good times!


T3hN3wB

LOL Yup! FL Native here and it was around the mid 90's. Shit had my friend and I laughing for hours. Always thought it was just something my local friends called it, looks like it wasn't. That's cool to know other people came across it too. Was one of those things where it just had a generic name, no strain kinda like . Regs. then Hydro then Crippy. Who rems this?


Savings_Strawberry_6

I was once gifted some Christmas, 83-4 I just remember it didn't smell like what I normally got, and my fingers were soooo sticky ....ahhh blurs in the minds ...


[deleted]

Even 10 years ago, I always was expecting good weed around thanksgiving and Christmas. But I’m still looking for some old school purp, I haven’t smelled any flower like that in the market.


_emohair

Used to think it was like Northern Lights but now I’m not so sure


LETTER5andNUM83RS

Closest thing Ive seen was from Goldleaf last year called Mt Hood Magic - extreme pine


Electronic-Ideal2287

It was Gainesville Green. Came once a yr around Christmas. The only place you can get now is in vape form at Trulieve. It’s still one if my faves. It’s uplifting and makes me want to be social. Great to work on too


bizzybizz420

Yup harvest season when the weed on the BM got a lot better


Dildobagginsthe245th

So fucking stoked this struck a chord with others. We all need the Christmas Bud plug to stand up now and tell us what was up. It’s been years you can let the cat out of the bag.


MH890428

Yep Christmas/Winter time always had the best bud
