Clade9, Garden Greens, Green Lightning: The NJ Flower TSR Reviewed This Fall
The Stoner Review published eight write-ups of New Jersey cannabis batches between Sept. 12 and Oct. 9, 2026. Seven carry a house score. Belushi Farms Blue Dream scored highest, at 9.6 out of 10. Garden Greens Oishii #13 followed at 9.1. Clade9 Orange Push Pop scored lowest, at 7.8. Green Lightning M.O.B. has no score because the jar has not been smoked for review yet.
This roundup collects those results in one place. Each score and quote below is copied from the review as published, and each review was re-opened on Oct. 18. No new scores were added. Every score applies to one batch or lot, not to every jar sold under the strain name. The story also includes a same-day shelf check at The Botanist in Egg Harbor Township, which stocked several of the same brands. The Stoner Review sells shirts and hoodies only. We do not sell or ship cannabis.

Clade9: Three Lots, Three Scores
Clade9 had the most reviews this fall, all one-gram packs of smalls. Private Reserve OG scored 8.9. Lot PROG-F1.8-06.01.2026-L1 listed 35.39% total THC and 1.78% terpenes. The logged note reads: “Intense on the front end. Then it tapered cleanly and stayed useful for at least an hour.”
Pine Tar scored 8.7. TSR paid $8 for the gram at Liberty Cannabis in North Brunswick, where it was marked 50% off. The label listed 28.18% total THC. The review says: “It is built for smoking and chilling, not staying sharp.”
Orange Push Pop scored 7.8. Its lot listed 36.53% total THC but only 1.71% total terpenes, and the review called that gap “the story.” Its verdict: “It hits harder than its aroma suggests.” The lot was harvested March 9, with an Oct. 24 best-by date.
Garden Greens: Two Pre-Roll Packs From Vineland
Both Garden Greens reviews covered two-pack pre-rolls of half a gram each, packed in Vineland. Oishii #13 scored 9.1. Batch F7H114.8 listed 29.48% total THC and 3.09% terpenes, led by caryophyllene. The session note was short: “exceptional, as described.”
Big Apple scored 8.5. Batch F4H117.2 listed 28.44% total THC and 4.31% terpenes, the highest terpene figure in this group. The review describes “a bright orchard-citrus opening that settles into a calmer, heavier finish.” Its label calls the batch indica-leaning.
Jerzy Landscapes and Belushi Farms: The Two Highest Flower Scores
Belushi Farms Blue Dream scored 9.6, the top mark of the season. The batch listed 20.3% total THC and 2.54% terpenes, led by myrcene. It had the lowest THC figure of any scored flower here. The review says: “At 20.3% THC with a terpene profile this complete, the effect is balanced rather than overwhelming.”
TK Headband from Jerzy Landscapes scored 8.8. TSR found it at Liberty Cannabis in North Brunswick. The batch listed 22.8% total THC and 2.12% terpenes, led by beta-caryophyllene. The review describes the nose as “diesel up front, pine right behind it.”
Green Lightning M.O.B.: Label Only, No Score
The Green Lightning M.O.B. write-up is a label report, not a smoke review. The 3.5-gram jar listed 31.44% total THC and 2.21% terpenes, led by myrcene. The review states: “No house score belongs here yet, and we are not going to invent one after the fact.” That label also listed an Oct. 17 expiration date.
What the Scores Show
The highest THC number did not win. Orange Push Pop listed the most THC of the scored batches and finished last. Blue Dream listed the least and finished first. The reviews say TSR scores “what we actually smoke: flavor, effect shape, ash, and whether we would buy it again with our own money.” Our review of 26 TSR menu checks covers what New Jersey shops charged over the same weeks.

Green Lightning had 15 items on the menu, the most of any brand in this roundup. That included a seven-gram bag of M.O.B. smalls at $70. TSR did not check whether it came from the same lot as the jar we wrote up. Garden Greens had one item, a diamond-infused pre-roll on sale. The menu showed no Clade9, Jerzy Landscapes or Belushi Farms products.
One price moved since our Oct. 5 check at this store. Miss Grass Papaya Candy eighths were $52.00 then; today the menu showed $31.20 on sale. Green Lightning Musk and Euro Step eighths held at $50.00. Our Oct. 5 Botanist report has the earlier prices. Source: The Botanist Egg Harbor Township adult-use menu, fetched Oct. 18, 2026.
