Initial Thoughts

Grow West raises its Wildflower line under actual sunshine on a western-mountain farm - a rarity worth celebrating in a warehouse industry - and Purple Koala is the line's gentle giant. We picked ours up at Mana Supply in Middle River.

Appearance

Rustic, untrimmed, sun-grown buds - violet and forest green, sugar-leafed and sticky. Character over cosmetics, and honest about it.

Status

Sun-grown and still listing at 37.37% total THC - remarkable for outdoor flower.

Aroma

Grape skin, cedar, and forest floor with a sweet berry undertone. You can smell the terroir.

Flavor

Grape and earth on the inhale, woodsy sweetness on the exhale - mellow and pleasingly old-fashioned.

Lineage

Grow West hasn't published parentage. The grape-forward purple expression suggests classic purp heritage, but that's the nose talking, not paperwork.

Effects

A hug of a high - soft, slow, and sleepy, like the namesake. Perfect last-bowl flower for the end of a long day.

Conclusion

Proof that sunshine still makes great weed. Purple Koala is honest, rugged comfort, and Mana Middle River has it fresh.
