smoke a bit too strong...

Nah, he's pretty much right.. I've grown a few mandala strains, and thought they were pretty weak. The descriptions are often an outright lie. They say satori is very mold resistant (odd they'd even mention it), but it's one of the most mold prone strains out there. Just check out the grow journals for it.

You should just sell what you have and buy mids until you appreciate just how much better more potent weed is. Just pack one hit bowls.

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?

Mandala has the landrace type genetics that are more sativa + mild.
You could find a trippy/headwarping one too >but probably not if the description says its mild.

i have a plant going now that is almost all sativa. it is a green house thai plant. trippy/headwarping while fun is not what i'd call mild. lol.

churchhaze - i would not sell what i have. i have 2 sons that smoke a lot and like being the guys with the incredibly powerful buds. they are daily smokers and still find the three different strains kick ass. and i do appreciate potent weed. i would just like to be able to smoke a bit and still be functional during the day(it is so much better than otc analgesics for pain) but also if i want to chill in the evening, it would be nice to have a drink on one hand and a joint in the other and be able to smoke the whole thing...

all things being equal, i'd rather have the problem of the potentcy being too high

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

True that i can smoke a joint or blunt to my self and that gets me ripped...i miss those days...u might be lucky and havr a slow growing tolerance

Yes you've been smoking shwag, that's why what you've grown seems so powerful... Smoke it for a few weeks, you'll become more accustomed to real weed.

How is this a thread? If it's too strong, you smoke less. How did you need that explaining to you? If you want to be able to smoke the whole joint, then you need a manner of diluting the weed in the joint, be it tobacco, garden herbs, a prison joint. Again, not rocket science.

Just remember, just because you want something does not mean you can have it.

just keep smoking and preaty soon u will have a high tolerance and u wont getas high.

how 'did you need it explaining to you'? apparently you have smoked a bit too much to properly construct a sentence, mr tip top. if you don't like the subject, go the fuck away. you are also apparently unable to comprehend what you have read unlike most of the people who have read this. i wondered if anyone had any tips. this is a forum where you ask questions and people answer them. and sometimes you get stupid feedback from some grouchy motherfucker. thanks to all who have had some positive input and those who have poked fun at me. i can take a joke and as you can probably infer from my first sentence, i knew it was going to draw some abuse though i had anticipated it to be good-natured like almost all of it was.

Apparently you have smoked too much to even be able to repeat a statement accurately If you're gonna attempt to quote something, don't go changing the words around

Your weed is too strong. You have to smoke less. Rocket science. Must be REALLLY strong for you to need people to explain this too you

I know what you're talking about.. I think you need to harvest a little later and get more of a body high than head high.. Ive been smoking in the early 70's in Chicago and we used to get "lids" for $15.. then in the 80's Columbian for $35 a bag.. days of nickel and dime bags (and I do remember Thai Sticks) . The weed back then got your eyes red and Chinese eyed. When I started to lite up again a few years ago that shit had me freakin out and peeking out my windows for a few hours.. it's just not the same stuff anymore and these young people on here just can't compare. I just grow Lemon OG Kush now and this is I believe one of the most potent out there... I still get too much at times because this stuff will creep up on you hard. That said you still want to grow quality shit ... And I don't think it will get any stronger after you cured for some time.. just better smell and taste. Just get a glass of bourbon relax take a couple hits and enjoy!

mr tip top- your tag says you are an expert so i guess i need to take your statements as true. true, 'it' and 'that' were changed from your original reply. my bad... i don't however see how i need to be stoned or could be construed as stupid for asking if there is a way to tone the smoke down a tad. when i was a little pot head in the 70's like lemonogkush, you could smoke an entire joint by yourself and not feel like you were about to need to call 911. i like the intense buzz in the evening but a good light buzz for running errands would be good too. i smoked a bit of the bud i picked off before the plants started getting mega crystally this afternoon. it didn't taste that good but it had the light-get-things-done-head-buzz i was looking for. i am thinking i'll mix some of this in with the uppercut-right cross smoke i have for my afternoons off buzz in the future. and as a matter of fact, the smoke is really strong as my sons smoke a lot and they have broken out some of my crop with their friends and they all get super stoned. i don't think they smoke lousy shwag either though it may not have been cared for like i cared for my plants(and by cared for i mean manipulated and blasted with weird lighting mixes and tied up and down, etc)...

Sorry to see a bunch of assholes on here have been rude to you for this thread. I think it's a common concern with the increasingly potent shit out there. I personally can smoke mids all day full function, but it loses the lovely effects of better bud. I learned some of my growing from my dad, who's in his late sixties now, and he called what you're talking about "working weed".

My best advice would be for your next harvest, harvest a little earlier, or at the very least leave the full-flowered stuff for your kids, and do a staggered harvest or something similar. The earlier harvested weed will be a little more energetic and a little less potent, so you could set that aside for yourself. For the stuff you have now, I would normally recommend mixing in tobacco or shake, but you mentioned you don't want to screw up the taste, and that definitely will degrade the taste. You could always use flavored tobacco, but of course you won't have the original taste of the weed you were smoking.
I used to smoke exotics all day every day, as I suffer from anxiety disorder and depression as well as ADHD, but eventually I got concerned that I wasn't accomplishing what I could if I smoked less, and I think that may be true. A select minority of people I know can smoke and be super stoned but still accomplish basic tasks; me, I get super lazy and just want to watch reruns or play videogames all day. I personally like to mix in shake, as I don't like the negative health risks associated with tobacco (but keep in mind, cannabis drastically reduces those negative effects).

BTW, one person mentioned harvesting later for greater amounts of CBN, but the general consensus is that the greater the amount of CBN the more "sleepy" the high, often described as the morphine of marijuana. This is great news for me when getting insomnia episodes from my anxiety, but not so good for either of us when we're trying to smoke a nice doob and then lay some concrete. I would not recommend doing a later harvest, but an earlier one.

i actually did a staggered harvest on a little stacked kush plant i had. i have the crop curing in separate jars and am curious about the difference i will see. i have tried the early clear trichome stuff and it still got me freaky high but i think that may just be because it is such a different buzz(feeling like you can outrun a car and chop down trees with karate hands) than i am accustomed to.

Mild Sativa's...That's all you need!
Find a heavy yielding MILD potency Sativa (Easily Done)

AVOID any OG/Chem/Diesel/Afghan/White strains if you want weak potency.

I recommend never harvesting early> There is a plant out there for everyone's needs!
Just give it away if it's too strong> They will love you for it + become your slave.

my sons like it just fine. not giving it away since i like it in the evening too. when i was shopping for seeds i went for high test stuff. careful what you wish for, huh?

You got the 190 proof + wanted the 90?
Mandala has some strains that aren't too powerful.
Some even say so in the description> https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/mandala-seeds-chill-om/prod_1148.html

^Read the description on Chill-OM. His strain descriptions are enticing!

There are other herbs that can be dried and smoked, I'm not sure what they are but some Googling will turn it up.

Roll a joint consisting mostly of other random herbs, and a little bit of your super-dank sprinkled throughout.

I was really thinking about this last night and this morning, and it occurred to me that maybe having some actual hemp in your joint would be good, as it shouldn't interfere with the taste far too much. It also generally contains high levels of CBD, cannabidiol, which increases certain medicinal effects of our favorite plant, as well as being very high in "super antioxidants" which have been shown to drastically reduce the risk of a whole plethora of maladies, including some you should be particularly wary of, for example prostate cancer, neurocellular degeneration (brain aging), skin cancer, and much more.

that is an interesting thought. i am not sure where i could get some hemp though. i think even hemp is illegal in the states...
