Bud density is strain dependent! A lot more peeps breeding and growing out sativas nowadaze can be factored into thee equation too! But @true grit strikes the hammer right on the nail, too many novice growers and eager beavers nowadaze .....almost every time I hit a grow store there's a noob or noob couple in there buying a grow light ....these are the people pushing the garbo and sadly bringing the prices down for the peeps with the better buds. Not as many connoisseur smokers that prefer quality meds as there are "quantity buyers/smokers" ...you know the peeps that love to smoke quality buds but always buy or have low grade buds in their possession.
Hope no one takes this personal but vacuum sealing and PGRs are for cheaters! Whole mess of peeps don't even know what unmolested buds look like .....seeing it all the time, if it's not smashed, pressed, or rolled together the majority of peeps don't want it. And really, how good can smoking something that dramatically alters the structure of the plant be for us?
We might as well welcome Monsato with open arms!!
