smoke a bit too strong...

so i know this will probably bring on a lot of abuse but the plants i have harvested so far are too strong for my whimpyness. my sons who smoke a ton say the smoke is the most potent they have had. i still have yet to properly cure any of it. is it going to get more powerful? i would love to sit down and smoke a whole joint but one or two hits and i am flying. is there a way of toning it down or do i just need to suck it up and build up more tolerance? i have three strains curing right now. og kush 18, silver l.a. and stacked kush. i also have one beast still growing that is a greenhouse thai. btw-the silver l.a. is amazing at pain reduction. i have a labrum tear in my hip that is pretty awful and a hit of silver l.a. and i am good for a few hours.

be proud man! your tolerance will build up im sure.In the mean time, it will last you a long time if it only takes a few puffs.Nothing wrong with that.

First time I have heard someone complain about growing a good product!

Hey dont feel bad, im just gettimg back into smoking (got off 7yrs probation may 17th) first thing i did was snatch a sample of my plant and smoke it wet and all. I felt like a slow moving robot/cyborg for 3hrs. This is definitely not like the shit i used to smoke years ago! Fuckin A, it kicks my ass! I figure i got to build my tolerance up cause this is some sleeping medication.

Some of us wish we could get the same from just a little bit.

most of mine is kind of like speed. i had to harvest early because i fucked up and killed 2 plants with run off that had a chemical from some damprid in it. but the silver la stuff isn't all speedy and it still kicks my ass. you are right. this is not the smoke i had years ago. but my kids get some ok stuff and even they are blown away by it. that being said, sometimes i have stuff to do on my days off and would like to buzz around with a light buzz. well this shit ain't it. i was all happy when it was flowering and the trichomes were making it look sugar coated. don't get me wrong. i like having grown some major smoke (thanks to rollitup forums and grasscity forums too). i just wonder if there is a way of cutting it without ruining it. i don't smoke tabacco. i love the taste of good cannabis so i don't want to screw that up either. guess i need to man up and build up tolerance...

Yeah, come back in 3 months when you're looking for something stronger...or learn to moderate and enjoy what you grow now on a daily basis.

C'mon bro, you can put less in you know...

Interesting topic. I have seen this come up more and more often. People who want the high-grade smells/looks/tastes but not such overpowering buzz.

Most people grow for the best bang for the buck so to say and avoid the weaker potency.

I would suggest Big Bud. It is a plant most grow for yields and is generally one of the weaker "medicinal" quality strains.

thanks althor. big bud reminds me of that cheech and chong move nice dreams i think. uh... went off topic there. i will seek out some big bud seeds though for my next grow.

just wondering out loud, er, or maybe in electronically. would fan leafs have the same flavor if dried and cured properly? i know i don't have the sugar coating like on my buds. maybe i'll see how that works in the mean time.

lol I think he is trolling us now. Someone get out the test kit!

Smoke sugar leaf trim...pussy

Just came up with an idea for you dude. Light degrades THC. I'm not sure how long it actually takes to get any noticeable effects but you could always leave a tester batch in daylight or direct sun light (just keep it in a air tight container) for a few weeks, or until desired potency. This should give you a less potent smoke without compromising taste and best of all, it's free!

i am not trolling you guys. honest. i am going to try drying out some fan leaves and curing them. though nobody probably really cares to know the outcome, i will post my findings. if nothing else, it make make it last longer.

lol to the smoke sugar leaf, pussy. i am a frickin' light weight. i admit it. i used the trim from my other plants to make iso hash. i like the taste of that shit too but it fucks me up. maybe i'll try curing that too and see how it tastes and smokes.

i am not sure about the light degrading thc thing. thought i had read that it degrades it to cbn which is gives you couch lock. i know i sound like a whiney bitch but i think i'd prefer the heavy energetic stone to the heavy lobotomy stone. also, i don't really have somewhere that i can leave a mason jar full of weed in the sun.

i'd like to be able to smoke a joint like it was a cigarette(i quit smoking tabacco nearly 20 years ago but still miss it). if i tried that with this smoke, i'd be in a fetal position for hours.

and finally, i found a small bud on the plant last night that was stuck in the foliage that had broken off the plant a while ago i'd guess because it was pretty dry. smoked it and though it had a bit of a hay/grass taste, it had the thai stick taste in the back ground. getting a chubby thinking about when i chop, dry and cure... mmmmm(picture homer simpson drooling about donuts).

Yeah I'm with you on that buddy. I know how you feel with smoking a full doobie, I still try and do it and end up feeling ravaged for about 3 hours haha. It's more the actual smoking I like than the high...

Take it easy bud

talk to hazey about smokin leaves. you don't have to smoke the whole joint in 1 session.

Critical Mass is Big Bud, it's been reworked though and there are strong phenotypes to be found. I'd look at some of Mandala's offerings, they have quite a few landrace varieties they describe as "mellow and not very strong".

Good ethics/breeding practices and such too.

nutty skunk- you gave me an idea. since the inside of my tent is simulating day time and one of my bulbs has a uv a component, i decided i'd cut off a couple of smaller buds from underneath the main canopy and dry them in the tent. maybe double prizes with this. the lower buds are not as sugary looking so they may be less potent and if the uv degrades the thc the potentcy may be down to the pussy level i am at kind of like a light beer. the smell of those buds are similar to the canopy buds so maybe the terpenes (flavor i think) will be similar. work in progress...

OGEvilgenius- looked at mandala but all there descriptions sound, while awesome, like they'd slap me silly too. thinking i should be looking for something with ruderalis genetics?
