I am opening an eighth bag of the Farmer G strain as grown by Farmer G in Missouri. The flower is dry as a bone. It weighs out to 3.47g, a bit light. It was packaged 10.11.2024, so it’s been in the bag for seven going on eight months.
Perhaps the bag was not sealed that well. I’ve opened bags or jars that had been sitting around here and/or at the dispensary for eleven, twelve, thirteen months. Some of the old flower stays fresh: moist enough, bouncy, springy. It also has something to do with the cure but a poorly sealed bag or jar will go dry in no time. So I’ll put a moisture pack in it. 62% Boveda packs are what I have been using. I’m not even going to grind any of this up until it’s had some time with the rehydration pack.

The moisture pack helped a lot. It’s frosty bud; not stemmy. Nice grind.
Next Recorded Duct Tape Smoke Session, 6.21.2025, 18:38
First smoke of the day. I’m baked on the Duct Tape. A chill, workable effect. I revised a poem—took a few words out, changed one bird (Chuck-will’s-widow instead of Whip-poor-will). I never hear Whip-poor-wills in June but I did hear Chuck-will’s-widow this week at the place I call Farm in Miller County, MO.
The parents of the Duct Tape strain (lineage link) are GG #4 (aka Glue or Gorilla Glue) and Dosidos. I have smoked Glue before but I have never smoked straight up Dosidos (sometimes Do-Si-Dos) (lineage link). I’m not going to try to assign whatever effect I’m feeling to whichever parent. I’m not sure I believe in that sort of attribution anyway. It could be pseudoscience, some sort of genetics fallacy.
I haven’t had much to drink. This Duct tape and several drinks would probably KO me after a good hour. Anyway. There’s a raccoon around so I’m gonna go check that out.
20:38 (later that same day). Duct Tape was great. Carry. Level. U.S. bombs Iran. Yikes. Scary. Hope somehow this makes sense. Could be trouble. It’s exactly two hours since I smoked. There’s a current. The news flow did lend energy, which I drew on. High-deas. China: if they don’t invade or encircle Taiwan within the next ten days it will never happen. High ideas, highdeas, hot takes. B-2 bombers fly from Missouri to bomb Iran, gotta love it, or not. This is serious stuff we are getting into.
Dispensary Note: Trinity in St. James
I bought this eighth at the Trinity dispensary in St. James. As I write up this strain review of Duct Tape, six months have passed. I have recently been to Trinity again. The place has grown on me. I have mostly done pre-orders because that’s what I’m used to doing but sometimes it probably is better to just go into the store. In the case of Trinity, their unique feature is unusually high access to product pre-purchase. It’s not deli style but their jars, bags, vapes, pre-rolls are all out in bins on the “public” side of the store. If a person really wanted to know package dates (or best-buy dates in the case of Missouri labels), then this would be a dispensary to visit.
I have only been to Trinity… four times? …but I had $15 dollars in rewards waiting for me this last time I went in. And it was 30% off storewide because Swade Rolla was running a storewide sale perhaps in advance of Halloween. When I bought the Duct Tape, probably last year, the guy had said it was one of his favorites. The guy this time had a Jesus vibe. It’s been easy in, easy out there. Next time I will browse the bins before deciding what I want to buy. They have a nice array of brands, and the prices are as good as they are in Sauget, where I have been buying most of what I smoke. Arizona prices are higher but the bud has probably been better. We will see. Time will tell. More research is needed.
