Four lines, each doing something different. Prices sit on the live menu rather than here, because they move with every drop and a stale number helps nobody.
Connected Cannabis Co. is an indoor flower house, and at Evergreen it is flower only. Five SKUs, all 3.5g.
Blowin Biscotti, Permanent Marker, Juici, Chrome and Bluephoria.
Permanent Marker is the name most people come in asking for, and it is worth knowing the lineage matters to this house more than the packaging does. Connected has spent years on phenotype selection rather than on volume, which is why five jars from them costs what fifteen jars from somewhere else might.
The brand also operates alongside Alien Labs, which we carry. The two share cultivation practice and frequently appear together on menus, so if you like one it is worth trying the other.
This is the top end of our flower wall and the cost is in the growing.
Indoor means light, temperature and humidity are controlled rather than weathered, and that control is most of the expense before a gram is harvested. It is what produces density, and an aroma that survives a month in glass rather than fading in a week.
Phenotype selection is the less visible cost. Hunting through a seed population to find the one plant worth replicating takes seasons, and it is why a specific cut like Permanent Marker becomes a name people ask for rather than a strain that just appears.
The honest limitation is that you are paying a premium for a perishable product in a small format. There is no 7g or 14g here, so you cannot buy a cut you love in quantity. If per-gram value matters more to you than the specific pheno, CAM and West Coast Cure both run larger sizes on our shelf.
Five eighths and nothing else.
Blowin Biscotti, Permanent Marker, Juici and Chrome come as Big Buds in 3.5g. Bluephoria comes as indoor flower in 3.5g.
There are no pre-rolls, no vapes, no edibles and no concentrates under this label at Evergreen, and no larger flower sizes.
If you want this quality tier in a bigger jar, CAM runs 7g and 14g and West Coast Cure goes to 28g. If you want the same house style in a different label, Alien Labs sits alongside it on our shelf and shares cultivation practice.
Five SKUs is what the label covers here, not a guarantee all five are in the building. Flower rotates on harvests. The live menu reads from our register.
Blowin Biscotti, Permanent Marker, Juici, Chrome and Bluephoria, all 3.5g.
At this price, judge the jar rather than the label.
Ask to see it before you pay. Good indoor flower looks frosted rather than dull, and the bud should spring back rather than crumbling when handled. Any shop unwilling to open the case at this price bracket has answered a question you should not have had to ask.
Then ask when it was packaged. This is the single most useful number on a flower purchase and it is the one nobody volunteers. Flower loses aroma well before it loses potency, so a jar can test beautifully and still smoke flat. At a premium price that is the difference that stings.
On the cuts, Permanent Marker and Chrome read heavier, Juici and Bluephoria brighter, Blowin Biscotti in between. Tendencies rather than promises, and your tolerance does most of the work.
Read the panel last, not first.
Premium flower rewards care and punishes neglect faster than cheap flower does, because there is more aroma to lose.
Sealed glass, dark, room temperature. A cupboard beats a windowsill comfortably. Every time you open the jar you exchange the air inside, so open it less and for less time.
No fridge and no freezer. Condensation is the fastest route from a good eighth to a mold risk, and frozen trichomes snap off the bud the moment you handle it.
A humidity pack at around 62% RH costs a couple of dollars and is worth several times that on a jar at this price.
Grind lightly and only what you are about to use. Over-grinding shears the trichomes you paid the premium for.
We are a licensed Proposition 64 retailer on Edinger Avenue in Santa Ana, and every Connected jar here came through licensed California distribution with a lab panel and a batch number.
With a house this well known, the packaging is worth a glance. Recognizable brands get imitated, and flower is easy to repackage. An intact batch number and a licensed dispensary receipt rule it out, and that check applies to us as much as anyone.
Ask which batch landed most recently. On a five-SKU flower label some jars will have been here longer than others, and we would rather tell you than have you find out at home.
Our prices are out-the-door, so the shelf number is the register number. We open at 6AM and deliver across Orange County.
