Schwag

Hey guys, this is my first post in the Growers Lounge, and I plan on growing my own plants pretty soon. I have one question that does not really concern growing, but rather what some people grow. This may be a stupid question, but why does schwag even exist?

Doesn't it take just as much time and effort to raise a plant yielding schwag than to one yielding very good chronic? Why would anyone in the right mind even try to raise a schwag plant if they had the ambition to grow their own? The only reason I can think of is seeds, but if a person is able to put together a small growing operation shouldn't they have resources(especially now the big seed business growing on the internet) to get atleast decent seeds?

It just kind of puzzles me. Growing isn't necessarily the easiest thing in the world and it takes care, so why care so much about horrible brown, dry weed?

schagg is not necessarily because of the seeds used. it is mass produced in huge feilds. males are not removed and when harvested it is just compressed into bricks and smuggled across the border. this smuggling takes time in which the pot starts to rot and also thc degrades into cbd. that is why schwagg exists. you can grow seeds from schwagg under good conditions and get some pretty good pot from it.

I've always wondered about that before. If one could take schwagg seeds, grow them under good conditions, filter the males and harvest and cure them properly if the weed would be any good. Thanks for that post Justaseed.

We'll have to find out, then. I've got a plant grown from shwag seed a few weeks from harvest. :D

My first grow was shwag.
My friends say it tastes like ramen.

but you can have sinse schwag while top quality seeded bud is also easily doable. seeds mean little when it comes to potency, just as seedless means little. same goes for brick. i've seen high quality colombian in compressed bricks and it was some awesome stuff! it's all in the genes...

Yes, but typically a female grown to sensimilla quality that hasn't been turned to seed will yield more bud weight and generally be a bit more potent.

A female plant that's isolated from males will produce many more stigma and trichomes than a seeded female of the same age. This is because she is desperately looking for pollen, and more stigma and trichomes will accomplish this if it's present.
