do the buds get a lighter color from the bleaching? Do you think drying outside drastically effects quality?
I thought the flavor was degraded. Potency less so. Appearance was damaged the most. I smoked field dried Mexican weed in the late 60s and early 70s, until local home grown became available. it was like discovering Guinness after drinking piss all your life.
Good 1 .lol
I know what you mean. Im in my early 30s and remember all the dirt weed in the us back in the late 90s. We used to call it mexican dirt weed. Obviously there was good strains too but that garbage was all over
You ever see the difference between the green of fresh cut grass and the light tan colored grass that has been sitting in the sun a bit?
I prefer my smoke to be the best it can be. True, yours is probably good. Just not the best possible.
I would leave the fan leaves on during the hang dry.
True. Back in the day Columbian Gold was sun dried and that
We used to call it "one hitter quitter".
I'm sure yours is good too, but also not the best possible, regardless how you dry it. I wish that was the biggest problem growers had to face, a lil degrading of the Trichomes aren't a big deal. If you pull early, it may even help them to mature a bit more while they dry outdoors, just my 2 cents. Granted a dark ventilated room would be best. We shouldn't get hung up on drying locations when Guerrilla growing, worry most about a successful harvest with out detection.
All I am saying is that I put a little extra effort into preserving quality. Note that I included the "possible" in my previous post. Nearly a decade ago I built a secure shed to cure my buds in. It is the best I can do. I'm sure you are doing your best, as well.
