Have you ever tried it? How do you think it was grown years ago? It does work gives great bud and great taste. Did you know the curing process is what makes the bud taste and smoke well? You can have the shittiest bud ever cure it long enough and you will have great bud. I forget to mention that anyway. I recomend 2 weeks to 1 month cure time.
if there are no trichs on the bud because it had to use ALL its energy to try and produce adacuite flower, it wont matter how long you cure the bud. THAT is the only reason the bud now is defferent than the 70's.
theres all this BS about how the bud is different than the 70's like its laced with something. the only thing that is different, is that we (the growers) are providing the plant with the best environment possible. by providing the best environment possible we let the plant put as much energy as possible into THC production>bud production.
you can grow some huge tree in swamp dirt and smoke that, i'll grow 50x1 foot tall lolipops in perlite with organic nutes, and get super fucking stoned.
