Malibu Marker

Malibu Marker sm/med (grown by Bonzai Boyz) - The Zen Co - March 2026

Fire. Fire fire fire. I'm a big Permanent Marker fan and the cross with Malibu is a hybrid done right. Outside of Gas Face circa 2023-2024 , this might very well be my favourite from Bonzai yet. For "mediums/smalls," the nugs are huge. There were a bunch that were well over a gram and a half and maybe 5 "micros" in the entire ounce. Buds themselves are moderately dense with some give, and super sticky. Trichs are present and viewable to the naked eye. Good snap on the stems, and a great tactile feel when breaking the flower apart to grind. The terps on this are fucking RIGHTEOUS. Both the nose and the taste translation are incredible and damn near 1:1 with some very slight nuances. The cut that Bonzai uses for their Permanent Marker is very heavy on the Biscotti flavour. That sort of dark spiced funk is here and well-represented, but with the equally strong citrus/tropical fruit from the Malibu. This stuff fucks. Flavour on the palate is like a lemon-infused gingerbread cookie. Nice deep dank resinous notes blend with the citrus really well. Flavour on this is 11/10. Smoke is thick and smooth with no irritation. Prominent resin ring and very light gray ash. Smoked about 2g in a king size Elements paper and the effects are amazing. This is an even-keel hybrid and it hits the sweet spot for me. It's great as a daytime smoke because it doesn't bog me down, but still carries enough of that indica buzz to not have me feel anxious or racy. I felt relaxed and euphoric. This is great "social" weed. Conversation-promoting. A nice comforting mental fog but not overkill. Lasts for hours. Fucking good drugs. I like this stuff a lot. Rebuy. 9.3/10 Sidenote: This was literally my first time using Elements papers in years. The joint was rolled perfectly and definitely was a cone. I don't know if I've ever seen ash "shrink" as evidenced here. Just an observation. Anyone regularly use Elements and care to chime in?
