Admittedly, regardless of the heritage, when the strain name says 'training', I tend to be skeptical.

No worries though. I'm pretty confident that whoever was in-charge of production for this batch, knew what they were doing, and weren't actually in training.

With this review, we'll discuss density and burn time.

Let's talk value. One of my primary requirements I look for when scoping a quality strain, is the density. Now there are plenty of great strains that come from light and fluffy nugs, and many are well suited for use in joints. But it's been more that once that I've heard "that's it?" when smoking what looked to be a well-stuffed bowl, but turned out to be something that lights up quicker than flash paper.

So, if you're concern is thickness, you'll have no need to be on the fence when debating whether or not to pick up this strain. And if you want to dig further on what makes for dense buds, there's a great post over on GrowWeedEasy that should help bring some clarity.

As far as the high, Training Day sets in quick; probably due to the Trainwreck genetics. Roughly ten minutes after use, you're feeling the full effects. It's not much of a creeper, but the high is sustained for a good deal of time.

So plain and simple, this strain does it for me.

The only reason Training Day got an A- and not an A, is because I found a few tiny seeds in the nugs. Hey, it happens sometimes.

By the way, my daily piece is a plain ol' glass pipe, usually of the pyrex variety. I applaud Etsy for making them on available on their site.

When I'm looking for something to smoke, I tend to reach for the thicker buds like those here. Because, the longer the bowl, the better.

Strawberry Mango Haze does what it says on the tin. The flavor and aroma is a distinctly strong marrying of mango and strawberry, while it's effects slowly put you in a deep haze.

I like it. It does the trick.

The first noticeable effects of the buds come in a quick initial burst; you're feeling it right away. Audible moments become clearer, your attention for the time-being is mildly more focused, and tension is slightly lifted.

The haze portion of Strawberry Mango Haze I described earlier is more of a body-rich high that creeps in about twenty minutes after initial use. If you're looking to deeply relax, you'll find that here with this strain...if you don't mind a short wait.

So overall, like I said before, it does the trick.

Just want to mention one thing about the smell. You can infuse the smell of other ingredients into your cannabis by working it into your curing cycle. That being said, I'm not sure if that's what was done with this batch. Using fruit can introduce mold easily, so make sure you know what you're doing before trying it.

If you don't know what you're doing when it comes to harvesting marijuana, then I suggest this thorough step-by-step guide by made one of the fine peoples over at Grasscity Forums. Personally, it's the best method I've ever used.

Read up, it's the best advice I can give you if you're looking to grow.

Smoke up, it's the best advice I can give you if you're looking to get high.

BECAUSE, NUGS.

Next review will be Strawberry Mango Haze. Coming soon.

Honest reviews. Too many reviewers seem eager to write a good review, and not an honest one. It can be hard to write a bad review though, it is weed after all.

I smoke, I don't vape with my analysis.

Vaping for me, is done with oil and wax. For those that like to vape the flower, go ahead, it's all good. I just wanted to be clear with how I get to my conclusions that get posted on the breakdown list.

I've picked up this strain a few times. Not necessarily because it's so great, but to get a gauge on the range of quality when it comes to what individual cannabis producers and distributors offer.

Hopefully my breakdown list and pictures have given you an idea of what this strain has to offer, because I only have one word for this batch of this strain: "meh".

I can tell a lot nurturing went into this grow, but I believe certain strains don't produce enhanced effects when crossed with others. That might be the case here.

Since the marijuana availability opened up here in Washington, I haven't had near the amount of negative experiences with herb quality when compared to pre-legalization times. 

Product quality and potency can still vary wildly batch to batch, even for the exact same strain. For reference, one 2g package of the Presidential OG Kush I picked up was roughly 18% THC, while the other 2g package of the same thing registers at more like 23% THC.

Lesson: Read package labeling closely. It'll save you a lot of headache. Enjoy it, soak it in. Back in the day, they didn't tell you what was in the marijuana, and you probably didn't want to know anyways.
