TGIF20 - Sun Valley\Burbank - 7

Environment 2: This spot is right by Bob Hope Airport located on San Fernando Mission Road. Kind of a bitch to get to, if you are familiar with this area, you know what I mean. There looks to be plenty of parking on the street directly in front of the shop. This isn't the BEST area, as it is mostly industrial on this street, I did see a couple crack heads moseying around, but I know this area isn't too bad. Inside, the lobby is fine, plenty of seating, organized coffee table with new patient forms and a friendly person behind the counter. Check-in was simple. Inside the large budroom there was plenty of seating too. These guys have taken the time to design a nice environment, it has a very modern feel to it. This place is clean, you can tell they make a conscious effort to keep it that way. The budshelves are organized well, there is a hybrid, sativa and indica shelf with plenty to choose from in each. This place has their weedmaps on a tablet that is mounted to the budshelf and projected on the wall for easy viewing. I am starting to see this more and more and I must say it is pretty great.


Staff 2: The front desk girl was cool, friendly and too the point, no issues what so ever there. The one bud tender, who seemed like the owner as well, was really helpful. I always have to explain to these guys I am not after the "dankest" herb but the most well grown and most of the time am referred something incorrectly. I let him know smoothness is very important for me. He let me know he only have 5 vendors and has a high level of expectations for them, and flushing is very important. He showed me a few strains, actually taking a large nug out of the jar, and breaking it up it his hands so I could see down to the stem how the nug formation looked. I was able to really get a good smell and good visual of the herb. He showed me over 10 strains without any hesitation or disdain, informing me how each strain was grown. I was really impressed with his attention to customer service; there was about 3 people who walked in after me and he did not rush me along to move to the next person. One of the best purchasing experiences I have had at a clinic. Props. 

Variety .5: Great variety on bud, not much else. Saw no edibles inside, saw a couple BHO's, 3 midgrade hashes. No CBD strains, no drinks. 

Quality 1.5: Good buds here. They have a few different qualities available: top, mid, bottom, shake.  Whether you are on a budget or just want that upper echelon selection I am sure you can find something that pleases your pallet.  I was able to get a good look at their topshelf selections and all were frosty down to the stem and were visually perfect. From the strains that I picked up, they were not as smooth as I would like, but overall very nice and I was not disappointed. I feel like the growers know what they are doing.  Next time I will be picking up the Hydro Jack (which is actually soil grown). No lab testing done here, I always appreciate even one strain a month getting tested, pesticides and mildew included. 


Price 1 : Totally fair pricing, especially considering  the bogo structure allows you to get truly topshelf grams for 15 and 5g 8ths for 55 and midshelf 2 grams for 20, or a quad for $65-55. These are good prices if you want to spend $50 plus each visit. I rather enjoy picking up a gram here, a gram there, so this is a little bit of a problem for myself, but for the most part its great pricing. for the FTP gift He threw in a half G of any strain I wanted and a half G of some mid grade hash, nice!!
