how can you tell the good stuff

so i know if bud smells strong and is more green than brown or gray its good. what else should i look out for?

 

hairs, crystals, texture--not flakey or broken up

 

ok well you know wrong. you just can tell when weed is good or not. you can get good brown, green, dull, bright coloured weed. you can get weed with lots of crystals that smokes less than one with little crystals. but you sorta learn to work out vaguely whats better with experience. in the end, theres no way AT ALL except smokin it

 

^ i disagree with some points there

imo the weed i've always gotten, which i have found to be "better" before smokign are

light, lively green, it's a unique color to see on bud and is always Good weed

and a very very strong scent, recently i had weed which smelled like skunk cabbage in my room, triple wrapped in ziploc bags and putten at the back of my drawer

 

...it gets you fucked off one toke

 

i also find that the better weed ive purchased smells almost limey or citrusy--like more pure smelling

 

I agree with Bill on this one, you just have to smoke it and see...

 

Yep, light it up.

 

I find the good stuff has lots of crystals and orange in it. It also has a very strong smell.

 

looks are very decieving...some stuff looks great but does nothing....the best way is the smell....if it is a potent smell, almost sour....you have a great sack.....but if it smells kinda like grass clippings, that means its schwag.....if you ever tear up a quarter pound of schwag in a room...it will smell as if you just mowed the lawn....i can't stand that kinda shit....

 

i agree, if your grass smells like grass then its definitely dirt weed.

 

if its great stuff, you should be inclined to cut it up rather than break it up. the more THC oil a bud has, the more tendency it has to stick together or to your fingers. if the bud is crusty and falls apart in your hands, its probably shit weed. "skunk" is always good--it's characterized by a smell so pungent it's actually kinda skunky.

the true acid test, though, is to just smoke it and find out.

 

or have it analyzed

 

it's the feeling that you get when you open that bag up. and usually smell can tell you a lot.

 

If you have shitty weed, you can always extract it and make hash or use it for cannabutter.

 

its really good and fresh if your nugs are really sticky and wont break apart very easily. PLus it leaves so much resin on your fingers then.

 

there are a lot of strains out there that have little to no odor and will floor you off of one hit.... so dont go by smell... alot of indoor strains are nearly scentless because of the fact you're growing indoors.... aslo... there are also darker strains than other... alot of afgani strains are actually darker than others... another factor that makes weed darker in color is over fertilization..... so i just killed both myths with one stone.... the only way you're sure if your gettin your moneys worth is either... ask to sample a hit... or if you're dealer is a really good friend of yours then you should be able to trust him when he says its good shit..

 

I can't remember, but I think AK-47 generally has a weak scent despite it's power...

 

yea AK has a really low odor and so does Haze

 

Heres an example of great bud.. thats not bright green... but it does have quite the pungent odor... and not very many crystals.. but gets ya high as a kite in 2-3 hits
