Wellspring Fields is a licensed cannabis grower and processor from Ravenna, Ohio. In addition to flower, they produce extracts, 510 carts, disposables, peanut butter, chocolates, topicals, tinctures, RSO syringes and infused beverages that they call “elixirs”. I have enjoyed several of their products including the chocolates and elixirs. I have also tried their lip balm which I am not sure that they make anymore.
I was at Certified Dispensary in South Euclid, a week out from Rosin Fest. I had no flower to smoke to hold me over until the festival.
While browsing Certified’s interactive menu in their lobby I had a chance encounter with a stoner friend! We talked for a bit while I looked through the half ounces. I had yet to try any Wellspring Fields flower, and I saw they had a half of Project Red for 20% off, so I made the selection and bought the bag. The lineage on this stuff was Pacoima Kush x Ghetto Red.
When I got home and opened it up I was hit with an earthier smell then I expected. The whiff contained hints of berry or fruit, but mostly I smelled some grassiness that made me a bit nervous about how the stuff would taste. It didn’t smell stale.
The flower itself had a nice look to it. Most of the buds were big and chunky. They were all dense and medium-green in hue with fuzzy orange pistils that stuck to the buds. There was a little bit of stem attached to the bigger buds but the flower was far from what I’d consider a “Stemmy Buscemi”.
The Project Red half ounce clocked in .08 grams underweight at 14.07 grams. The buds were a bit dry and had a crunch to their squeeze. When broken down by hand it wasn’t too bad but through a grinder there was definitely some dust produced. The buds weren’t very sticky.
This flower had about a medium burn speed and produced light greyish ash. It didn’t taste dry or stale. Thankfully, the earthiness to the smell translated well into the taste. The Project Red had a spicy, hoppy taste with raspberry or strawberry undertones. It wasn’t harsh. I ended up really enjoying the taste of the stuff!
I threw a RAW Integra Boost humidity control packet in with the Project Red flower and waited 24 hours. I was amazed at how well the packet brought this bud back to life. The stuff went from producing dust through a grinder to generating zero dust whatsoever. The flower became sticker and denser when broken up by hand. The nuggets lost their crunch when squeezed and tasted fresher and more flavorful!
For me, the Project Red produced more of a relaxing medical effect. I’d consider it an indica-leaning hybrid. It didn’t make me tired but it didn’t give me the burst of energy I got from Woodward’s Frozen Bag sativa or Butterfly Effect’s Black Jack strain.
The Project Red relieved my pain and eased my mind without producing a headache or any other unwanted side effects. It made my mouth kind of dry and stimulated my hunger. This would be a good strain for someone looking to relax midday.
Another unique aspect of this bag was that the terpene info was only accessible by a QR code printed on the label. The attached link brought me to a detailed lab report with tons of info on terpenes, moisture and microbials.
I’d buy and smoke the Project Red again if given the opportunity. After enjoying my first flower strain from Wellspring Fields I’d love to try a few of their other offerings such as Stankasaurus, Strawberries and Cream, Puna Alien Fuel, Oh-Pie-Oh and Sour Tangie.
I gave the Project Red from Wellspring Fields a 7 for taste, 4 for harshness, 7 for strength, 6 for smell strength and 60 to 90 minutes for length of medical effects.
