Island Pink LSO

A living-soil flower labelled indica, Island Pink LSO is offered from 1 g up to 28 g in five weights. The LSO in the name abbreviates living soil organic, so the plants were grown in living soil, and our guide to LSO flower goes through the term.

What our Island Pink guide says about the strain

In our Island Pink strain guide the strain’s type is indica-leaning hybrid, with a THC figure of about 25% quoted for the strain in general. The flavour is a vanilla-led candy sweetness with floral and skunky notes and some earth underneath. The guide’s account of the high begins happy and uplifting and then turns into a heavy body relaxation.

Breaking a bud open: skunk, vanilla and florals

Steven De Guzman’s tip in the Island Pink guide is to tear a bud apart before it goes in the grinder, since the sticky nugs should then give off skunk, fresh vanilla and sweet florals. The guide also relays one reviewer’s advice to use a very clean bong for the full taste, and suggests a cup of vanilla rooibos to echo the candy-sweet side. One customer sums the flavour up as a “unique pink flavour”.

Pacing a strain quoted near 25% THC

For a first smoked or vaped session, Health Canada advises a start of just 1 or 2 puffs, drawn from something at 10% THC or lower. It adds that the peak may not arrive until 30 minutes have passed. The guide’s 25% figure is two and a half times that 10% mark.
