Lights Out sits comfortably between mid-tier and top-shelf flower. While I still reach for brands like CAM, UpNorth, and CBX when I want that full terpene profile and nuanced high, Lights Out delivers a solid punch and consistent quality that can be a real steal, especially if you’re shopping at their La Mesa or inland locations. If you’re visiting the PB store, I recommend paying a little extra for their premium selections.
Let’s take a look at two of their house strains and see how they stack up.
By The Numbers:
Package Date: 6/9/2015
Total Cannabinoids: 27.75%
Total THC: 27.59%
Terpenes: 2.55%
Appearance: This nug brings back memories. Light green, almost white buds are coated in frosty trichomes and accented by dark green,nearly black,leaves throughout. The contrast gives it a celestial look that fits the name perfectly.
Aroma: Pungent citrus-diesel aroma that smacks your senses as soon as you crack the jar. If you were a fan of the old-school planetary strains, this one brings back that classic funk.
Smoke: Straightforward sweet diesel from start to finish, with just a touch of burn on the back end.
Effects: Heavy behind the eyes with a warm relaxation that wraps around the head. Definitely more of a nighttime strain. You won’t be instantly knocked out, but it’ll put your mind in chill mode and prep you for rest. Great for shutting down after a long day.
Final Verdict: One of my favorites from Lights Out so far. If you’re looking to wind down and quiet the mind, Saturn OG delivers.
By The Numbers:
Package Date: 5/27/2015
Total Cannabinoids: 30.07%
Total THC: 29.85%
Terpenes: 2.90%
Appearance: Big, well-structured nugs with a lot more character than typical mid-shelf. You’ll notice a mix of light green and deep, almost black-green leaves. Red pistils are short and mostly tucked under a layer of sparkling trichomes, giving the whole nug a glitter-like effect.
Aroma: Sweet citrus hits you first, but dig a little deeper and it turns into a gassy, sweet-cleaner scent. Almost like a car air freshener hanging on the rearview mirror: light, fresh, and inviting.
Smoke: Super smooth with no burn. The flavor comes through on the inhale as a sweet cream or mild woody taste, and finishes with a soft earthy note. Nothing overpowering, but balanced and pleasant.
Effects: Calming and mellow without being sedating. Great for easing stress or anxiety while still staying present. This would pair perfectly with a sunset stroll, a mellow bike ride, or just relaxing with your pet or partner. It helps you stay grounded and enjoy the moment without being stuck on the couch.
Final Verdict: A great any-time-of-day strain for those looking to de-stress without zoning out. Smooth, flavorful, and visually appealing.
Lights Out is bridging the gap between budget and boutique. Their flower hits harder than typical mids and can compete with more premium brands depending on the batch and shop location. If you’re looking for strong, reliable strains without breaking the bank, Lights Out is worth exploring. Just remember, like with any house brand, some strains will shine more than others. So far, Saturn OG and Biscotti x Sherbert prove they know what they’re doing.
