Big Bud Curing....What to do?...

Yeah man having a huge nug is always good, you should keep it forever in a jar and keep curing it forever then it will be this awesome nug that hasnt lost any potency, and is huge. then u roll a huge fucking blunt in like ten months and it will be awesome and you will get baked and we all will have a good time..... buetiful nug man, is it any particular strain u no of or is it just weed.....either way beutiful

Panhead was with all the hating, its all about the big nugs

THANK YOU JAMSON,
thats what i said for my 2 cents and pinhead, i mean panhead just gave me attitude, so panhead maybe you should read the harvesting faq's and get some facts before you give people attitute and quote their threads with stupid comments!

All right tough guy,show me where it is written anywhere on earth that leaving buds whole does anything for potency as you claim,including the grow faq on this site.

Since you wanted to be a smart ass i'll ask again,was the comment about leaving buds whole because it effects their potency founded in fact or something you cooked up,there is no basis to what you said anywhere in the grow faq on this site yet you point to it as some kind of shining example.

On top of there being no mention of what you speak written anywhere in the grow faq, the advice given in that portion of the faq for drying is some of the worst advice ive seen anywhere on the internet,hang the whole plant for a month with leaves still attached, in 60% humidity conditions no less,on top of having a nightmare of a mess to manicure chances are there will be mold & plenty of it.

The only real reason to leave buds whole or on the plant is to make the smoke a touch smoother & that aspect is highly debatable unto itself,now if you care to debate this we can but come to the table with more than speculation & name calling.

Wheres the hating on my end,i called nobody no foul names,i asked a simple question of him that he refused to answer,instead he chose to respond in a shitty way,my question being ,to show me where it is stipulated anywhere that leaving buds whole,or even on the plant for that matter effects potency.

This guy claims the grow faq says this & it does not,slow drying only effects smoothness of the smoke not potency as was claimed,i meerely questioned his comments as they are not founded in fact.

Your right about it being about weed but unfounded advice being presented as fact should be checked by all.

I was just saying you kinda took his statement way out of proportion, He was asked whether to cop the bud up or keep it whole, he replied in the same way I would have replied the way that keeps potency in the weed, though it may only be 20 trichs those 20 trichs are still a loss in potency. So I guess you just misunderstood. It happens to everyone.

Ok, as of yesterday, my biggest bud had been hanging for 6 days approximately 4-5 feet above a 4 inch fan for some lite air circulation. About 4 days into the dry I "fluffed" the bud lightly by carefully seperating the nugs on the bud to allow airflow throughout. Seemed to work well. As of yesterday only the very top of the bud stem was not snapping when bent. I did cut the bud into smaller pieces and put them in a paper lunch bag overnight. Today they were finished drying and I placed them into a glass mason jar to begin curing......I feel that the safest measure to prevent mold and dry the bud a little quicker is in smaller pieces. This is the conclusion I have come to for now. Thanks. ~Outlaw~

ok, so panhead, focus.....no really fo.....cus....

i have not even read the faq on this site, the information i have stated is available by looking up other websites, this is the big worldwideweb, it stands for worldwide, so there is just more than one website on earth other than riu. the information i have recieved and quoted on this website i have read on cannabis.com, gorge cervantes grow videos, green man videos on youtube.com, ed rosenthal comments in high times, and multiple cannabis culture magazines including articles from respected seed breeders.
also its pretty much common sense, oh and impossible to deny that anytime you expose the interior of a large bud you are going to lose trichome crystals (the small mushroom like stalks and caps which actually get you high) because you are breaking a large uniform stalked nug into small peices which dry quickly and leave you with dry crusty bud (we have all smoked this). so if you really think hard (this might be tough for you)...... if you break up a uniform big cola into small thumb size nugs, the crystals (trichomes) come un-attached at each place your fat fingers broke the nug into small chunks and they fall off. unless you are catching those crystals (trichomes) with a keif box you wont be able to SMOKE the crystals that were lost.... and remember (think hard) its the crystals (trichomes) that get you high.
so.......(pay attention here) IF YOU HAVE MORE CRYSTALS (TRICHOMES) ON YOUR BUD...... im pretty sure that you get a more potent smoke.
its kind of like saying if you drink 1 drink but spill half of it you will not have drank as much as if you had drank 1 drink but not spilled half of it. so im trying to help you to understand this (IM TRYING REALLY HARD) and i really hope that helped.

if not you might want to try changing your DEPENDS i think you might have had an accident, oh shit ahahahahaha, couldnt pass that up, look at his profile....

Ricepaddeler,or whatever the fuk your name is,all you do is talk shit,you reccomend information as being in the grow faq,then when questioned about the information not even being in the grow faq you come off with some stupid shit about not reading it there,now your going on about some goofy shit jorge says,greenman or respected breeders ect,blah blah blah,i call bullshit.

Come back with one single shred of evidence .

i just gave you evidence you ignorant fuck. i think you need to call your nurse your having trouble functioning in the PRESENT. look up a magazine called high times, its a mag that is pretty much available worldwide. they throw a annual event called the (get ready) CANNABIS CUP. its pretty sweet, world wide seed breeders including GEORGE CERVANTES have been judges. CANNABIS CULTURE is also a magazine out of BC which is run by MARC EMERY (sound familiar you retard), a lot of people respect him and his mag. so before you go spouting your IGNORANT mouth, do more research about what the fuck you are talking about. i also said i had info about the faq, never said it was the riu faq you assfuck. its called worldwideweb (www.com) in case you forgot. you have 2246 posts on this website, i hope to god they are a fuck of a lot better than what you have just spouted off otherwise you are wasting peoples time...quit talking out of your ass.
everyone else on this site other than stoney mcfried AND PINHEAD is FREAKIN AWESOME
oh yeah you dumb asshole....google "tidal race" and find out what the fuck you are talking about, ive never even been to asia or seen a rice paddy.

Oh Yeah And I Only Talk Shit To Stupid Ignorant People That Ask To Be Silenced By Facts

tricepaddler or whateva ya name is you got owned dude lmao you and your 150 posts.......hahaha

Paddler and whoever else arguing,

You lose trichromes anytime you cut up a bud. I can agree with that. You also lose trichromes anytime you move or touch a bud. It is an unavoidable fact.... but say an untouched single pop-can sized bud has 1 million (1,000,000) trichromes on it.....you lop it up into 5 or 6 smaller pieces to promote faster and more even drying, to resist mold that would render it unsmokable.....In the process of cutting, say you knock-off/lose 200 trichromes per cut.
Alright, 1000 total trichromes are lost forever from 5 cuts made (for easy math)..... You have lost a total of .1% of the total number of trichromes..... The point is, You are never ever going to notice the difference with the missing trichromes....If you took the 1000 trichromes and smoked them....it would have absolutely no effect on you....So, in theory with the loss of trichromes you would be losing potency because you are losing a percentage of the total number of trichromes but not enough to ever notice.

Evidence,ha,you've gave nothing,high times cannabis cup as evidence .

Tidal race,Tidal Pool or Tidy Bowl Man ,you've yet to provide one shred of evidence to the stuff you spew,lots of name dropping but not a single link,you've harvested how many plants now ?,six is it ? yup,

Drop them shears mister,you'll loose trichomes !

i really dont feel like i have to lead you to evidence, is that what the reference about a retirement home is about. does everyone always provide you with the info you seek, i usually take it upon myself to do the research, i know your a fuckin moron so even if you gave me a link i never would visit it and oh yeah for the record, i gave him first of all an opinion about the way i cure my plants.....it started as an opinion i have based off of research i have done at those respected venues of cannabis cultivation that i did reference and you gave me attitude, so i gave you attitude back. that said i think you are an ignorant fuck. you too femguy

What so now you bring me up in another thread? I think you've got some issues.If you want to bad mouth me, you send me a personal message...don't bring others into something that happened on another thread...mm'kay?

You were asked a simple question,opinion or fact & you blew up,its a pattern you have,you blow up,insult evrerybody,make stupid little wise cracks ect,now your playing the innocent,bullshit.

The fact remains that not only have you stated this as a fact you've referenced everybody on earth as the basis for it being a fact,and btw when you state something as being a fact you are supposed to be able to back it up with proper links to the reference information,just saying na na na na im not giving your lazy ass a link is a cop out & you know it,you've done nothing but talk in circles the entire time trying to defend your opinion as being a fact ,when it is not a fact nor has it ever been claimed a fact by any accomplished grower anywhere,including jorge cervantis or in high times or even ed.

You've stated over & over again in this thread that what you state is fact,now you change over to it was your opinion,you could of avoided every last bit of this by answering the simple question posed to you right from the start,instead you chose to get your back against the wall,cry foul & cast insults.

If anybody here has acted like a dick it is you,in every thread where YOU are arguing it all starts with you,the insults always start with you & in each post your insults get worse,once you get called on something you include personal attacks in every post to follow,then you end up playing the victim who just wants everything to go away because your sick of it all,then you carry over petty shit to other threads as well & post insults at whim wherever you go.

Quit playing the innocent victim & check your posting style.
