I can buy THC distillate made from premium bud for 3 bucks a gram. Which is like 2.25 USD a gram. I only grow for the sake of trying new strains and because I have a nice setup already. Pounds of weed are very cheap since legalization crashed the market.
Canadian?
Yeah. Our game changed big time.
I hear you about having spent 8 months growing, but it really depends on scale. I’m sure you’ve driven by farming operations and see piles of potatoes, corn, etc in the fields. Sure you can pick up a bushel, but clearly not worth the farmers time to pick up every piece of fruit. So when it’s the end of November and I’ve been trimming for a month, I’m not going to keep harvesting every last bud. Better to just toss it in the compost, instead of waiting 2 years. Or the wet fires are always kind of fun. It’s a real Cheech & Chong moment. (The neighbors probably think it’s a DEA raid.)
I will be getting this in an upcoming test. Basically determining the best time to harvest visually and comparing to cannabinoids testing. I’d like to compare microscope images to test results harvesting from the same plant over a month. I’ll start posting on that soon.
I donate all trim and unwanted bud to one of two cooperatives actually making RSO for patients. There’s always a use. Including for the roots. If you’re not into it that’s cool. Some of us are. Quite a few are here actually.
Not legal for me to do so. Not my idea.
I frequently do 2 cuttings. Once for the top buds and again for the lower buds. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for them to finish. I also lollipop my plants so the amount of larf I have is almost none. The only difference between my lower buds and my tops are the extra time they need. Once done, they're not distinguishable from those tops when you smoke it.
I have a feeling it will be getting better for us soon. And you do know, that if you didnt grow so well, you wouldnt have to throw so much away. Sometimes it pays to be stupid in this world ;)
I've got a couple of lbs, dried and cured. I vacuum sealed each strain individually and then sealed all those smaller bags in several gallon sized bags. I'm storing it for when my wife and I want to take some time off from growing ... and maybe do a bit of traveling. We'll see what happens. I usually give most of my excess away to friends and family though.
I feel like those are more of a suggestion, like speed limits lol.
I stay within my plant counts (usually). I can grow 12 at a time but I'm only supposed to keep 10 oz in the house. 2 plants can produce 10 oz rather consistently. The personal in your home weight limit doesn't make much sense to me when you can grow up to 12 at a time ... So I don't worry about it.
Right... I grew 11... and ended up with over 10 lbs... not my fault I grew trees, and I'm not about to throw away weed lol.
For me, the amount of useable bud I got off my last grow would have cost me $4000 via dispensaries, and that lasted about 6 months. Not going to toss anything until I have a surplus.
Where is this? In Arizona I can grow 6 plants per person, 12 per household. As far as I know, you can keep whatever you grow, and give away up to an ounce at a time. I got 18 ounces of bud off my last grow.
Popcorn buds get you just as high.
