Hey I recently came across these buds which look great, but their pretty fluffy and not much smell. Wanted to get some outside opinions on if there is anything I can do to improve the quality. There are many hairs and good coloring, but not outstanding crystals. I have been keeping the buds in a glass jar with an air tight lid.
Thanks

i would say that once the buds are done growing that theres not much you can really do to increase the quality of them or the potency..

Man to me I would say they look pretty done, the hairs are pretty dark. I would guess they are fluffy because you had too little light, also after bud is harvested it smells kind of grassy for a week or two because while curing you are releasing all of the chlorophyll. Also make sure you open that jar like 4 times a day to let some of the moisture out

are you counting curing in the buds being done growing part? their are cannaboids that dont really do anything for us but over time during the curing process they degrade into our good friend thc.

Well its all really based on preference, I am really going to start smoking mine 11 days after choppping, I know its still not going to smell and taste awesome but I have smoked a bowl and was high. The longer you wait the better it will be, Ive heard of people waiting 6 months before the first smoke, but honestly I dont quite have that patience.

curing only works like that for certain time though,once all the cannaboids degrade into thc the process is over, so after that point your just storing them.

Whered you "come across" these buds at? Did you grow them yourself? when you chopped it were the hairs still white? If the the hairs were red when you chopped, it should be good.

I also kinda paused and wondered for a sec when i noticed that part too, I didnt wanna bring it up myself and gave him the benefit of the doubt, but now that you brought it up I really wanna know where/how he *found* the buds too.
