Chemovar's Facetz Flower Review | AusCannaReviews
As we wrap up 2024, this is my final review of the year. Wishing everyone a fantastic holiday season filled with joy and relaxation! I’ll be back on Monday, January 6, 2025, with a special Year in Review, and a fresh new review dropping on Monday, January 13, 2025. See you in the new year! 💚
Chemovar’s Facetz is a balanced hybrid medical cannabis flower originally crafted by Compound Genetics from a cross between Pavé and Gastro Pop. With 30% THC and less than 2% CBG, Facetz features an impressive 4.15% terpene content, dominated by Delta-3-Carene, Limonene, Linalool, and Nerolidol.
Pavé is a balanced hybrid created by crossing Paris OG and The Menthol. Its aroma combines spicy peppery menthol with sweet, sugary grapes, while the flavour features notes of sweet plums, fresh grapes, and a hint of spicy menthol. Typically high in Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Humulene Pavé is often recommended for managing depression, mood swings, chronic pain, nausea, appetite loss, and stress.
I first covered Gastro Pop while reviewing Chemovar’s Bling Blaow. For a quick refresher, this Indica-dominant hybrid is a cross between Apples & Bananas and Grape Gas. Its aroma is a delightful blend of sweet, sugary grape notes layered with hints of sour citrus and spicy diesel. Known for its euphoric mental uplift and deeply relaxing body effects, Gastro Pop is typically rich in Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Myrcene. Gastro Pop is a popular choice for patients managing appetite loss, depression, insomnia, anxiety, and mild pain.
Review
Opening the white plastic tub of Chemovar’s Facetz (batch B-216-0624), I’m immediately greeted by a sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of blackcurrants, quickly followed by a sharp, gassy pungency.
Chemovar’s Facetz buds were light olive green with occasional darker green leaves scattered throughout. They were evenly coated with rust-coloured pistils and had a thick layer of well-developed trichomes, featuring cloudy heads.
Dense yet spongy, Facetz fluffs up nicely when ground, displaying a kinetic sand-like texture and easily passing my Sticky Icky Test. My only complaint… The nearly three grams of itty-bitty buds.
Starting at 175C in my Venty, Chemovar’s Facetz has a complex fruity flavour, highlighted by gassy notes and a faint hint of mint. Smooth the whole way up to 210C, Facetz’s effects kick in swiftly with a wave of full-body relaxation that begins in my shoulders and slowly works its way down to my feet releasing muscle tension as it goes. It’s heavy in the chest, couch-locking, and sedative. Chemovar’s Facetz would be best suited for an early to late evening position in my rotation.
Will I refill this prescription? No. Chemovar’s Facetz shares similar effects with Tasmanian Botanics’s Royale and Cannatrek’s Topaz, but offers a much more polished experience. Priced at $138, Facetz delivers consistent effects and notable relaxation. However, it didn’t calm my overactive mind and lacked a true euphoric spark, leaving me feeling mopey at times. While polished and reliable, Chemovar’s Facetz ultimately misses the mark for my medicinal needs.
