Cannabis grows flowers not buds/nugs

[The Potologist]

Yeah I know that title in itself will make any stoner scratch there head

Anyway, I am currently harvesting and I was blessed enough to have some help this year from a friend of mine that is staying with me for a while because he has no home in California due to the wildfires.

So, my method every year is to harvest, haircut/trim, hang up to dry 5-10 days in dark cool room, then cure into jars for 1-4 months. Most of the time when I put my buds in they are really puffy outdoor bud, that smells like hay yada yada yada. However after 1.-4 months whamo I get these incredible dank, hard, stinky, nuggets.

On the contrary, my trimming partner this year has a radically different trimming method. He likes to pretty much give it a really close up fine detail haircut then kinda compress his "flower" into a "bud/nug" then hang it up to dry, then into jars. He does this because he thinks that cannabis makes/forms "flowers"....humans have to turn those flowers INTO buds/nugs.

IDk, I have never heard or seen anything like that. Does anybody else harvest this way? Or do you pretty much do as I do? I really dont know what to make of it, just kinda worried that they may be more inclined to mold due to what I would believe to be longer drying times than if you did'nt compress the bud.

Any comments are appreciated. Till next time, HAPPY HARVEST AND FIRE IN DA HOLE

I'd assume compressing it would burst your trichs. Not something I'd try. I'll take airy buds with crystals over thick nugs without.

Amen to that.....I agree....Fluffy bud with more crystals will fuck u up more than compressed nugs of any kind. I think I will have to re-educate my partner on Trimming 101

Fluffy buds burn better! You can rip the whole thing in one go! Let the cough fits begin.

hes a dumbass then thats the worst thing u could possible do ur a idiot if u do

rob rob rob. you still haven't learned have you? tone it down a bit bud. your messages seem offensive. even if you are trying to just say you feel he is wrong. then just say that. each person thinks they know a better way of doing it. maybe he just likes his nugs dense. thats his preference. i dont agree with it. but it is interesting to hear. for you to say someone is an idiot or dumbass makes you look immature and down right rude. be nice. and post with respect. please.

Sounds like your friend ends up with scraggly buds, he probably just isn't getting enough light on his plants in the fall, or he is harvesting too early, maybe he is trying to grow a strain that doesn't finish early enough for his area. Pressing the buds together would degrade it a bit if anything, and you would be increasing the chance them molding.

......what?

Well, the real question is, does it work well and smoke good. If it does, then he's doing nothing wrong. As long as there is no mold and it smokes good, then consider it another way to manicure bud. There is more than one way to skin a cat, if you get my drift. But I would just go with the ole fashio, clip, hang, jar it up..Just me though. Im a rook!! lol
