Smokin' the harvest...

So while the plants are drying in the closest about how many days would you say till you can snip off a bud and smoke it?( I know it's probably asked a million times before but I don't want any special answers.. just guesses)

Its been about 4 days and I've clipped a very small nug off to ya know, "Get A Taste". The bud smokes well without me having to light it that much at all.

Is there nutrients or plant matter still in/on the plant while its drying? Do these things have any adverse effects say on your lungs?

Seems after I smoked this little snip that my lungs are "heavy" towards the top. I'm quite stoned so I wonder what that is? Or is it my body being paranoid because there were bugs on this plant that I killed with insect soap a few day before pulling? (smokin lots of small bugs makes my skin crawl... )

or maybe the insect soap?..... (stoned just thought of that lol)

If it doesn't seem harsh or make you cough, it should be safe. But I would dry it for at least a week.. and cure it for a few weeks.

Ripped it in the bong. No coughing or really that harsh. Yeh I was gonna dry for a few more days then jar it up to cure. Gotta cure it or else its no fun

i think youre fine, its just gotta cure for smoother hits. a mini branch broke off of my plant so im going to cure it and hopefully get some nice highs off of it...or ill make it into hash...oh the dilemma!

the whole process, dont just super dry the bud without curing.....it degrades THC potency because of overall dryness of the air. the curing/drying process usualy takes 1-2 weeks but its worth it if you want potent bud.

I fully understand the process of drying and curing the bud to truly get the best smoke.

My question really for this thread was if smoking only a few days dry bud would have and adverse effects (heavy lung action)?

I don't know, but wouldnt the strain make the lungs feel heavy? Like some strains of weed gives you a heavy feeling on the lungs.. i dont know.

yea, it would have adverst effects. hurtin lungs from the super hot smoke, and barley high from the super degraded THC, that's allready been said. the "super drying" makes it burn like a fucking popcorn fart (you ever smoke a year old roach? kinda like that), so the smoke is hot as shit and because the THC has been damaged so badly because of the abusive environmen, it doesn't fully effect you.

that depends on the impurity's in the bud and the purity if the THC. the "heavy" feeling in your lungs is the added oils and other things that stick to the side of your lungs. its one of many factors that go into critiquing marijuana.....and thankyou +rep for bringing back cannabis cup 06 memories.
