How to tell if you truly have good bud?

Yes, that is my question.

1/4 of good bud but not a strain costs $90. From another spot, I can get an O of named strain bud for no more than $250, but it's far and never have been able to get out there to give it a try yet. Hopefully these are decent enough prices for my personal use and the 90 dollar bud is usualy crystal filled with different kinds of aromas and tasty when exhaled.

Anyways, aside from the high, the crystals and the hairs, how else can I tell that I got good product? For instance:

- the smell or lack of smell of the bud
- the taste of the weed when you exhale
- the way it burns
- the color of the weed

Any of the good stuff I've gotten doesn't have any seeds and no stems (just the stalks) and always accurate in weight. Please let me know this much needed knowledge. Thanks

Damn... Thats a good Question, i am also curious to find out the answer to this question..

Yes, you are correct.

.... :P

it comes with experience and there is no definitive way to tell other than smoking it. But you can usually make some pretty accurate generalizations using the criteria youve already mentioned. Obviously skunky and pungent, powerful aromas are a good sign that you have good bud. Some exotic smells could be chemical additives, but not a good ol fashioned multi-bag penetrating skunk aroma :D If there are no seeds in the bag then it can be deduced that somebody employed correct growing procedures and thats another thumbs up for your bud. After a bit of time and a bit more smoking you will begin to notice the difference in taste when smoking good, great or not so good bud. The same goes with smell. I can usually smell seeds in a bag, and miracle gro wrinkles my nose right away. The color of the weed is not going to be the greatest indicator as Ive had some bud grown in Northern Cali that smelled like pine trees and was so dark you could barely see any of the usual pretty bud features. But let me tell you that shit rocked my dome-piece.

You seem to have a pretty good handle, there isnt much else anybody here could say. Just keep smoking and you will get a well rounded idea of the difference between good and mediocre bud

experience i suppose

tasty aromas don't necessarily equate to high quality effects for example

in this order for me...potency, taste, look, smell...if I can get a head change off of 1 good toke, it's killer to me...

I guess trial and error. I'm still not a pro myself. Sometimes the bud looks like shit but is great! One time my friend brought over dark dark bud and she had just started smoking so I figured she couldnt tell what was good or not, thinking she got jibbed. Wow the bud was THE shit(not shit). :) i was so high. haha so yeah sometimes you just never know by the look of it. You can probably get alot of info from the smell. how old, strong etc.

HARIY, CRYSTALY, PURPLE. got grapes?

u just know..it has to do with experience..ive been smoking prime bomb buds fer so long now..i just know what quality weed is

cystally dense buds with a strong skunky smell:jointsmile:
