This month’s Strain of the Month is a slept-on genetic out of Modern Flower called Stay Puft. Modern Flower has a reputation for consistency and variety, producing several genetics that Maryland adores. The Stay Puft lineage is one of those rare Modern Flower iterations that you only find in certain dispensaries but should absolutely be available in every dispensary statewide! A product of Compound Genetics, Stay Puft represents the best breeding traits of its heritage, Marshmallow OG x Grape Gasoline, with large nugs, creamy sweet and fruity notes and a smooth gas burn on the back.
Our bag was packed to bursting with some of the fluffiest nugs I’ve seen in our state, which is an important indicator of quality. Too many cultivators are using plant growth regulators and other inputs that create the characteristic tight, dense nugs that are often bland and harsh. Fluffy nugs like the Stay Puft suggest a greater degree of cultivation quality that, for the educated consumer, are more desirable overall. Add in the fact that it’s a stellar genetic, bred by a respected breeder and grown by a skilled cultivator, and you have a real treat. Stay Puft will almost certainly spread to dispensaries across the states.
The notably creamy smoke is a sweet, desirable blend with a fruit-gas kick on the exhale that’s delectably delightful. Stay Puft has an airy, floaty flavor that seems ethereal at first puff but comes back to earth with gassy glory, imbued with divine grape notes.
Overall the smoke is full-bodied, flavorful and offers the consumer a very well-balanced high that touches mind and body. Take some time to explore this refined toke for your personal knowledge bank — it’s sure to make your list of notable cultivars in Maryland.
