Titan Express (Small Buds – 14g) — Grassroots
A strong, citrus-forward sativa that delivers energy without sacrificing potency.
Titan Express from Grassroots is a sativa-dominant hybrid that aims squarely at consumers looking for a bright, uplifting smoke with serious THC strength. The strain is bred from Citradelic Sunset RV06 × Modified Muffins #10, combining citrus-heavy terpene genetics with the richer structure often associated with dessert-style cultivars.
On paper, it’s positioned as a focus-forward daytime strain with an energetic profile — something that keeps the mind active while still delivering the potency experienced smokers expect.
So we gave it the same treatment we’ve been applying across the Flowers of NY series.
A real purchase.
A real smoke test.
And an honest New York opinion.
The Strain
Titan Express is considered a sativa-dominant hybrid known for its aromatic citrus profile and strong THC levels.
The genetics — Citradelic Sunset RV06 crossed with Modified Muffins #10 — bring together bright citrus terpenes with deeper earthy and pastry-like undertones.
Typical flavor notes include:
Flavor notes
• citrus
• spice
• herbal hops
• light earthy sweetness
Common effects
• focus
• energy
• elevated mood
This particular batch tested with THC around 28.18%, placing it firmly in the high-potency category within the New York legal market.
For experienced smokers, that strength is immediately noticeable.
The NYC Weed News Experience
We picked up the 14g small bud option at The Spot Dispensary for $120, which makes it one of the more accessible half-ounce purchases currently circulating in the city.
The format was small buds, something that many buyers are starting to embrace as a way to stretch value while still getting strong flower.
Unlike some ounces currently on the market, this batch didn’t suffer from noticeable dryness — a pleasant surprise given how common that issue has become with pre-packaged cannabis in New York.
The buds had a darker green tone and felt solid when broken down.
Overall, it was a smooth experience from opening the package to the first session.
Appearance
The buds in this batch were:
• small to medium size
• darker green in color
• slightly dense with visible trichome coverage
Being labeled as small buds, the bag appeal is naturally more modest than premium top-cola cuts.
Still, the structure felt healthy and intact, and the darker color gave the flower a slightly richer appearance.
Not flashy — but definitely respectable.
Smoke Test
Once rolled, Titan Express revealed why it carries such a high THC rating.
The effects felt:
• strong
• mentally stimulating
• slightly uplifting
• clear-headed
The high leaned toward energizing rather than relaxing, making it better suited for daytime sessions or moments when you still want to stay active.
While it delivered solid potency, the experience didn’t quite reach the level of Granny Candy, which had a more dynamic flavor and slightly smoother overall balance.
Still, Titan Express held its own as a strong and functional smoke.
Dryness Score
One of the better surprises with this batch was the moisture level.
The flower felt fresh and well preserved, something that isn’t always guaranteed in New York’s pre-packaged system.
We’d estimate the dryness around:
~10–12% dry
That’s noticeably better than many products currently sitting on dispensary shelves.
Availability
When we checked back later, the 14g small bud format was already gone, although the dispensary still had eighths available.
That’s a pattern we’re starting to see across the market.
When dispensaries offer affordable half-ounce or ounce formats, they tend to move quickly.
Final Verdict
Titan Express (Small Buds – 14g) — Grassroots
NYC Market Reality
The New York cannabis market is still balancing pricing, packaging rules, and supply chain logistics.
Larger formats like half ounces and ounces are becoming increasingly popular because they offer better value compared to buying multiple eighths.
However, not every bulk option delivers consistent freshness or potency.
That’s why when a product like Titan Express small buds comes through with solid strength and good moisture levels, it stands out in the current market.
Even if it doesn’t reach top-tier flavor territory, it still delivers a reliable and potent smoke.
But overall?
It did the job.
And sometimes in the New York market right now, that’s a win.
6 / 10
Pros:
• strong functional high
• solid hybrid balance
• dense buds
• good ounce value
Cons:
• Slight dryness
• Price is still high
• Inventory is limited

The Dark Heart series from Grassroots highlights cultivars selected for their potency, terpene expression, and overall visual quality. These batches are typically chosen to represent some of the stronger or more character-driven options within the brand’s lineup.
Selections in the Dark Heart series often feature:

Packaging
This batch arrives under the Grassroots brand as part of their Titan Express Dark Heart series.
The product is packaged in a child-resistant outer pouch, designed to comply with New York State regulatory requirements for cannabis sales.
Inside the outer packaging, the flower is stored in a secondary zip-style bag, which provides a more practical storage option once the product has been opened and helps preserve the flower during regular use.
The package includes detailed compliance labeling, such as:
• cannabinoid content
• batch identification
• product classification
• regulatory warnings
While the outer packaging focuses primarily on compliance and product protection, the inner bag offers a more convenient way to store the flower after opening.
