Don't know who Blaze is , but you must be very young .I'm 59 next month , older growers don't do stupid shit unless they're trying something new out to up the game in plant size, yeild , potency to produce killer bud . I'm from the Emerald Triangle where most of the good bud comes from in the USA .
I'm good enough at growing to go into the business which is my goal , If I did stupid shit I wouldn't get very far .
In the 60's and 70's is when I started to get high , we had Thai , Pannama Red , Acapulco Gold ,
Sensimilla AKA Seedless Bud , some Mexican bud for $ 10 dollars an once that would make your head spin , strong enough that it was as though you drank way to much . DON'T shut your eyes or the whole place spins in cricles until you get sick , just like drinking to much . We also had buds that cost $50.00 an once back then and that was some good shit . If you had been there you'd know these things .
So you're talking from what kind of experience about older growers ?
Still haven't seen any bud that could match that Mexican shit , wish I had saved the seeds but I was only 12 then .
I've grow alot of bud . This is my grow journal link . Tell me us older " Hippie's " era can't type can't grow the BEST buds . I also am very picky about taste . If you don't cure your buds right , you'll have shit for weed , I don't care if was good before it was dried . If not done right you have hay or grass - lawn type taste .
I was talking and growing withthe breeders of today on OverGrowAmerica .com . All us old hippies were teaching you younger people how to grow. I was asked by the website administration to be a mentor . I asked them if their was anything they wanted me to do . The answer was to continue doing what you do. I posted journals of growing back in the year 2000 or so . So us old folk have many moons of growing .
As far as ferment, I have bud curing from 3 years ago still . That is some of the best smelling , tasting , excellent high bud I have . It started out as fruity aroma , cured - fermented as it sits in Gallon Mason Jars in boxes " Don't know how to cure ? , Right " . Those jars have been kept like I would wine in a nice cool place. It smells like fine wine from the fermentation. Burp them now and then . If you don't understand what that is, it's opening the jars to let fresh air in , then closing the lid
So looks like you have some leaerning to do if you're going to talk shit about older growers . I'm sure I'm old enough to be your dad , Blaze " .
Out grow me :)
Fermentation is a good thing, IF you know what your doing, or you may end up with mold if your bud going into the jars are to wet and aren't burped each day until the gases stop popping when you open the lid . The bud will start to smell like buds supposed to smelllike apposed to the green smell and taste , if not cure right .
You don't use goats to feremnt your buds , that's sick , at least not in the USA I ever heard of . non of us OLDER growers do stupid shit like that or even think about it .
I have better things to do with my bud than run them through a goats ass .
You use Mason Jars, the right moisture content and time for cure - fermentaion .
You want killer tasting buds , cure them right .
The jars that are 3 years old cure - fermentation , still let off gases and pop now and then when opened . The curing is continuing even after years . The bud gets better tasting as it cures - ferments . If they have around 10% humdity left in the bud it'll cure nicely -ferement nicely . Marksurfs 7/15/2016
