What to do With Popcorn Buds

Didn't you grow outdoors?

Sometimes I leave the popcorn on the plant, to finish after I harved the tops.

I'm leaving the popcorn on the lower branches too. This grow was a first grow and was in a grow tent. I wish it was outside in the strong sunlight. Afraid the local kids would take plants, pots and all. Need some land. The branches are layered between shredded paper sacks in two brown paper bags and I'll keep them there for 2-3 days if they're dry. The original plants I cut them from are still growing in the tent. The lower branches had buds so I will let them grow awhile and see what happens. The trim is frozen and when I get the bubbler bags I'll try to make some hash.

If its for commercial purposes then I'd split the total amount of dried popcorn buds in half: half for my own personal stash so not to smoke the money makers and the other half to pass out to friends, clients, and potential clients. Sales will go up tremendously.

If not for commercial I usually make oil or butter and give it to people who could use the medical treatment. Back pain, anxiety, depression, etc depending on strain(s).

I make ISO, then mix with propylene glycol to make vape juice. I can go out, mix some in with my normal tobacco juice, and puff freely wherever I am...

I use all of my trim to make kief hash. Many times I'm too lazy to make it so I just smoke the kief. I don't need to cure it. Once the trim is dried in a couple days it's ready for sifting over a silk screen to get that golden goodness.

I am lazy like that too....kief for me, bho sometimes usually not though.

I smoke the kief too but mostly I let my girl have it, she makes seperated olive
or coconut canna oil that goes into edibles...favorite is hard candies.

Btw RIPE, congrats on your sucessful 1st grow!

View attachment 3015108I usually make some keif (dry ice/ dry sieve), make some qwiso, make some edibles, and make some crumble wax. This season my Cherry Pie popcorn yielded 17% BHO crumble wax.

If it is bud then treat it as bud, all popcorn bud is bud that is smaller than the usual nugs that you get but it doesn't make them less potent does it? It is like breaking a nug into small pieces and asking what should I do with it?

My buds always yield more than my popcorn. So I would think that the buds would be higher in THC. I'm new to all these different concentrates so I'm not saying that I'm right, just my experience.

Buds and the popcorn are the same thing! Buds=buds and popcorns=small buds which still equals to buds with the same amount of THC depending on the time of harvest. (when it was harvested i.e. when the trichomes were 70% brown/amber)

My popcorn buds are typically under developed (airy and scraggly looking) unless T stagger the harvest but even then. I am not a fan of smoking them but that is mostly because I make hash.

I've done the stagger harvest thing and the popcorn buds did get bigger but nothing compared to the colas from the main harvest. They stayed kinda fluffy and were not as frosty. Again this is just my experience.

give them to me
