Hi all, I've been through this a few times on other forums but didn't get too far. I'm wondering why/how dispensary buds are so compact compared to my home grown. I understand genetics and grow skills/trimming skills are a huge factor, BUT I'm from the old school (1980's) when baggies came with big fluffy beautiful buds attached to the stem.
I understand that as a buyer today, paying for stems is not good. But dam the buds are so much more pretty in their natural state. I've also watched countless grow journals and a lot of people show big pretty fluffy buds instead of the dispensary compressed popcorn rocks I see..
Anyway, I tried compressing a few of my buds to see if I can make them look like a dispensary buds and it worked, I'm just wondering why I should do this to my own personal stash? I prefer them in their natural state if this makes sense. Hell, I say compact those buds when loading a bowl!
Are dispensaries using any tricks to compact their buds? Maybe they vaccum pack them? Or maybe huge harvests are being compressed in some way? I'm not sure whats going on?
My second grow, Nirvana Northern Lights---1 hit I'm good, two hits I'm hiding on my couch-- I'm loving the way my stash looks as a grower ! Huge glass jars full of buds. My old stash before being a grower shown in the little purple punch container. Life is good as a grower--I'm weed rich !
