Well up my eyes as if I thought I met a growing guru? Call him/her; green thumb. Green sends me off with a few buds that were 'airing' in the burb of it? You know, hang for this long drying, then cure it? Seal it up for a week or so, then burp the glass preserve jar? Here, green is schooling me on all those processes you read about curing the bud, when to cut.
Week or so later it finally dried out so I can grind it up. Toss it in an old dispensary container. Meanwhile, I can't keep up on one gen from the next? Siting here I think my 3rd gen was ground up. Now looking at me are green's giveaway homegrown, my 3rd gen in the other container.
Green explained it was 'mild?' How can you change a growing plant to mild? Anyway, I open green's homegrown and smell that mild dispensary grade flowery aroma but not heavy like dispensary grade. I opened my gen, it has this stale smelling spice you wouldn't use for cooking anymore. It's not anywhere near a pleasant sent. More like an old dusty attic, or behind a dry wall of an old house, Nope, its got its own stench.
Mild gets a burn thru and still waiting. Second burn I held all I could take, smooth it went down, held till the end. Still waiting.
3rd gen burns the first hit, hole he shit, the head bang build, I have to blow it all out an take in fresh air. Second hit on the char, I take it in till it goes out, wait, wait, the items on desk start to brighten, head build banging is not as strong as I have to blow the scary first one out.
Moral of the story?
