Initial Thoughts
Honeycomb, a rare and slightly sativa-dominant hybrid (55% sativa/45% indica), is currently available at Happy Bud in Washington DC. It’s a strain that has gained attention for its enticing flavor profile and dynamic effects. Bred in 2022 by Dewey Cannabis, it merges the best qualities of Original Glue and Dosidos. This batch in particular has a really nice, pungent nose that’s remarkably like wild flower honey and some frosty buds that are oh so sexy.
Appearance
The visual appeal of Honeycomb is immediately noticeable. The buds are bright neon green with hints of bluish purple and rich golden undertones that resemble the hues of actual honeycomb. Bright golden amber hairs thread throughout the buds, adding vibrant contrast, while a generous coating of sparkling trichomes gives the nugs a sticky, almost resinous feel. This frosty layer of trichomes not only enhances its appearance but also indicates its potency.
Status
Fresh but starting to cure.
Aroma
Honeycomb carries a sweet, sugary aroma with a distinct herbal twist. The dominant scent is honey-like, but beneath that lies a sage-like herbal note that gives the strain a more complex fragrance. When broken apart, the nugs release a combination of sweetness and earthiness, with the herbaceous undertones becoming more pronounced. This unique mix of sweet and herbal aromas creates an inviting sensory experience.
Flavor
True to its name, Honeycomb delivers a super sweet and sugary honey flavor. Upon inhaling, the sweetness is immediate, with a lightly spicy exhale that adds a subtle kick. There’s a lingering aftertaste of both sweetness and a faint herbal spice, making each puff a layered and enjoyable experience. The combination of honey and spice offers a pleasant contrast, satisfying those who appreciate sugary strains with a bit of complexity.
Lineage
Honeycomb is a cross of Original Glue and Dosidos, both renowned strains in their own right. Original Glue, also known for its potency and sticky resin, contributes its skunky and earthy terpenes, while Dosidos adds a sweet, doughy flavor that balances the overall profile. This combination is responsible for Honeycomb’s unique taste and effects.
Effects
The effects of Honeycomb hit both the mind and body in a balanced way. The initial cerebral uplift fills you with a burst of energy and focus, making it an ideal strain for engaging in conversations or creative pursuits. Sociability and artistic inspiration flow effortlessly, and the strain has been known to spark laughter and lightheartedness. However, when consumed in higher doses, Honeycomb can become more heady, inducing a euphoric haze that may lead to uncontrollable fits of laughter.
As the high progresses, the body begins to relax, though not to the point of sedation. It maintains just enough indica influence to ease physical tension without overpowering the cerebral effects. This makes Honeycomb flexible, suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on your dosage.
Conclusion
Honeycomb is a hybrid strain that impresses with its honey-sweet flavor, herbal aroma, and balanced effects. It strikes a harmonious blend of Original Glue’s potency and Dosidos’ sweetness, offering a versatile high that activates the mind while soothing the body. Available at Happy Bud in Washington DC, this strain is a great option for those seeking an uplifting experience paired with a smooth and relaxing finish.
