🌿 PRODUCT
Oishii #13 comes as a two-pack holding 1G, and the panel is caryophyllene-heavy — nearly double the limonene — with linalool and humulene behind it. Savoury, peppery and dry rather than sweet, and with almost no myrcene at all.
🏷 BRAND
Garden Greens is a Jersey-grown cultivator whose ownership brings, in its own words, over a hundred years of traditional agriculture experience to the plant. The look is unmistakable on a shelf: a New Jersey silhouette behind the wordmark, recoloured strain by strain, and a per-cultivar badge system — shields, ovals, tags and pins, each ringed with GARDEN GREENS and EST. 2023. The site carries a strain library of forty-plus cultivars with lineage, flavour and effects printed for each, which is more homework than most growers publish.
🧬 LINEAGE
The #13 marks a selection: somebody grew out a row and kept the thirteenth expression of it. What that selection produced is a spice-forward panel with the myrcene almost entirely absent — a shape from the dry, savoury family rather than the dessert one, which is unusual for something with a name this pretty. Pepper, clove and a dry hop finish, with the citrus a long way behind.
☀️ USE MOMENT
A caryophyllene-led joint with no myrcene underneath stays clear-tasting far longer than most things at this strength. Good for the middle of a day with something to do — a workshop, a long cook, a project — and the dryness means it will not turn cloying on the second one. It reads strong, so pace it.
