Market: Washington DC

Overall Rating: 9.4/10

Lean: Hybrid

Initial Thoughts

A bandana is for hiding your face, and this strain wears one well: the name says chem, the first whiff says something sweeter is going on. It's one of Alt Sol's most widely planted cuts across the city right now, and we picked ours up at Relva, where it's been moving fast enough to justify the distribution.

Appearance

Sexy nugs in classic chem colors - mossy green, orange pistils, a super heavy frost that is sure to intimidate the newbs. Looks like a snow storm hit it.

Status

Cured out and consistent. This batch tests at 23.4%.

Aroma

The chem funk is there - rubbery, sharp, familiar - but it's riding under a sweet, almost citrus-cream top note that softens the whole thing. The bandana, in other words.

Flavor

Chem on the inhale, sweetness on the exhale, with that signature sour-rubber edge that chem lovers chase and newcomers learn to love. Smooth for its family.

Lineage

Chem91 X 707 Headband. Balanced hybrid.

Effects

A strong, steady hybrid ride: clear and conversational up top, warm and loose underneath, with the kind of staying power the chem family is known for. Works afternoon or evening - it meets you where you are.

Conclusion

Chem Bandana is Alt Sol doing what DC's home team does best - taking a classic flavor family and giving it a local twist. Relva has it on the shelf; bring your appreciation for funk.
