From what we could learn this strain is the result of crossing 88 G-13 Hashplant with Nepali OG.
On the Kolab Project website they explain how this Kalifornia strain is grown using high-calibrated automated systems to ensure optimal grow conditions and a consistent product. During harvest all the buds are hand-trimmed then harvested and cured using a slower dry process at a low temperature.
It sounds fantastic so we were anxious to order a batch.

Smell
The product arrived in a medium sized black bag with zip seal. Opening the bag and releasing the aroma gave us a flashback to our high school days with a nice skunky pine smell. The aroma got us really excited and we promptly dumped out the bag.
Appearance
This was a buzz kill. What you see is usually what you get. Overall the buds that are intact are nice, however very shaky and dry to the bone. Plus, we had an enormous stem that further detracted from it’s appearance.
Flavour
Kalifornia has a uniquely herbal flavour with hints or spice. Interestingly the pine we smelled when we opened the bag did not make itself present when smoking.
Experience
Kalifornia from Kolab Project is decent product. Nothing wow about it but not terrible either. A solid relaxing high complete with a moderately strong body buzz leaves a satisfying result.

The stem in the middle looks a bit gross tbh.

Agreed. Not exactly the best presentation, but this is the first product from Kolab Project we’ve reviewed so hoping their next will not be so bone dry.
The Emerald Wizard
While nobody likes stem in their batch the dryness is actually perfect for a vaporizer. Anything drier would not be though and it probably doesn’t help that Kolab chose a vacuum sealed bag as opposed to a plastic/glass bottle with a smooth interior and a humectant. Nothing like dry and squished buds. The flavor is pretty decent, earthy and spicy but as mentioned this bud doesn’t taste like it smells. I’m actually vaping it right now in my Solo II and there’s almost a bit of wood in there too. Overall I think stem particles aside that its a solid 7.5. “Follow the Green brick road”

I’m glad to hear something positive about this product. Honestly, when that enormous stem dropped out of the bag it was a bit of buzz kill. We will probably add this one to the re-review list. Thanks again for the great feedback.

Awesome to hear. I think we just had a really dry batch.
