98K by Maven for Virginia Cannabis Delivery

98K is the kind of strain that reveals new facets over multiple sessions — bright citrus notes on the first hit, a layered spicy-earth undertone mid-exhale, and a lingering refined finish that keeps complexity alive. It’s not just potent; it’s cultivated for nuance, depth, and character — the sort of varietal seasoned smokers hunt for on the West Coast and rarely find locally.

Genetics & Legacy

Bred as a heavy-hitting cross of 98 Reserve × Black Diamond X, 98K is a modern interpretation of old-school Kush strength with refined sensory depth, designed for connoisseurs who chase complex aromas and nuanced effects rather than one-note highs.

Aroma & Flavor — Sophisticated yet Striking

98K’s terpene bouquet unfolds like a layered tasting menu. On first sniff, you’ll sense an elevated citrus glaze with bright candied lemon zest that draws you in. Beneath this, cool waves of eucalyptus and a whisper of champagne effervescence add an unexpected elegance. As it settles, deeper earthy funk and subtle herbal spice emerge, giving this strain both freshness and body — a profile that rewards slow, mindful inhalation.

Appearance — A Visual Statement

98K buds are a standout on sight alone. Expect dense, premium flower with a dramatic palette of lavender-tinged greens, flashes of lime, and rich burnt orange pistils. But the true showstopper is the resin: every nug is encased in a thick, dazzling armor of frosted trichomes, signaling both potency and resin potential that appeals to smokers and extract artists alike.

Effects — Layered & Connoisseur-Focused

The high arrives with immediate cerebral clarity — a focused, uplifting rush that sharpens awareness without anxiety. As the experience deepens, a full-body calm settles in, smoothing tension while preserving presence and conversational ease. Unlike some heavily sedative Kush phenotypes, 98K allows for engagement and creativity even at high doses, making it a rare balance of power and composure.

THC & Potency

98K is crafted to deliver a 30%+ THC experience (lab result dependent), placing it squarely in the high-potency category that seasoned smokers seek. Its strength complements its aroma complexity and visual richness, making it a true standout among premium offerings in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Richmond.
