Seb's take
A cross of Thin Mint GSC and Grape Pie, sweet and grape-toned on the nose with vanilla, mint and a hint of pepper underneath. The high opens with uplifting euphoria before settling into a deep, hungry, sleepy relaxation — dessert first, nap after.
Where it comes from
Herbies carry Lava Cake, a cross of the legendary Thin Mint GSC with Grape Pie. The pairing is a dessert-minded one, the Cookies heritage lending structure and the Grape Pie the fruit, and it delivers a well-balanced high alongside the flavour. A modern American cross built for the palate as much as the effect, and one that earns its cake-shop name honestly on both counts.
Nose & flavour
True to the name, sweet vanilla leads, with grape and a nutty richness behind it and earthy, minty undertones beneath, finished with a hint of pepper. It is a genuine dessert profile, layered and indulgent, the Grape Pie fruit sitting against the Cookies mint. A rich, moreish nose that reads exactly as the name promises. Pudding, essentially, with a peppercorn on top.
The high
Dessert first, nap after. It opens with an uplifting euphoria, a creative brightness to it, before gradually transitioning into a deep, hungry relaxation and, eventually, sleep. It is a well-rounded arc rather than a single note, good for unwinding at the end of a day or for a cosy evening with company. The lift comes first, but the landing is a soft and heavy one.
Growing it
A medium plant, standing 140 to 160cm, so allow her a little room. Flowering runs 55 to 65 days, and she returns a healthy 549 to 610 g/m² for it. THC sits at 22 percent. The record keeps the agronomic detail brief, so I will not pad it out; what stands is a well-proportioned plant on a two-month flowering with a solid, resinous yield at the end. Give her the space her height asks for, and she finishes to the rich, frosted bud the flavour promises.
