Sticky Bud.. even after dried and cured?

Listen, I tried to search here, but it only seems to let me do one-word searches now???????

Anyway, I cant find out anything on this, so I am asking.

Dried for 2 weeks, cured for 2 months.

The bud is still so sticky that it make it hard to break up and even roll. It keeps sticking to fingers.

Is this normal? I have never grown my own, just bought it, so I was even surprised to learn that having no seeds in your bud was normal if you grew it right...lol

Everything from look, smell and handling is different than what was in the bag I got the seed from. (no I have not smoked any yet...lol still working on that)

Well there it is. If anyone can tell me if this seems normal for grown at home stuff
Thanks

Hell Yeah that great news. Just break it off carefully on just throw that in a pipe/bong and:smokin: =:stoned:

I keep a 55 gallon barrel of rubbing alcohol handy, to wash my hands in, Sticky! It can be hard to keep it lit, because of the resin. You are headed for the promised land, you lucky dawg! Tell the dealers, you don't need their schwag anymore.

Thanks guys.
This has been paved with so many surprises! I am hoping to try it out this evening or tomorrow. What a difference between this and what I was buying.

Thanks too on the heads up about keeping it lit! That probably would have been my next question!

I also may have to look into a pipe or bong... very good responses, thanks!

I am glad to hear it is normal... I was worried I didnt dry/cure it right!

if you're used to smoking dried seeded buds and now u're dealing with buds that sticky, you may want to look into a one-hitter. lol enjoy

I have been having the same problem with the search function lately and it is kinda bothersome.
But anyway, good luck with those homegrown buds. They sound great. get back to us as soon as possible!:dance:

sticky can mean good but sometimes i find a 8th ive buoght is way to sticky to even grind up and its really not too nice of a smoke.

BUT on the other hand ive had very dry weed (blatently) hmegrown and it was sticky as hell yet was the best weed ive had in my life. so good on ya

just let us know how it is

Thanks everyone! I will post later!

Another satisfied customer.....Departs.......Enjoy that smoke!

Thanks to everyone. Seriously.
This was quite a bit better than the stuff we have bought in the past. I used a coffee grinder (bought just for this) to grind it up cuz it just would not have smoked well cuz it could not be broken up well. Finally got it to a point where it could be rolled a bit easier that before.

As for the smoke. Besides a very mild taste... you could not even tell if you got a hit...lol (Until you exhaled) No coughing or hacking (which we were used to). Very smooth.

We can usually kill a whole joint, but after 3 hits, my wife said she was done. We laughed and decided to continue at least to finish half of it. Man alive.

I got way too much. It was, however, exactly the way I wanted it. More of a heady, hyper high. A very small amount of body buzz, no real couch lock to speak of. But I was twitching and laughing for about 3 hours before I just passed out...lol I think a little less next time would be perfect.

Maybe just 3-4 hits... or a much smaller/thinner spliff...lol

Next grow I am going to try to grow for body buzz/couch lock. So I have both depending on my need/want.

I cannot believe the difference between this, and the bag that the seed came from. Who would have ever thought they were from the same genes? Dang. What a difference.

get a bong, and it will be even better..!!
ENJOY!!

I love it, when a plan comes together.

Hey Ice... I had read a ton of stuff and asked people over and over in here what the different colored trichs did so that I was sure I would get what I wanted.

I did want a very hyper heady high with no real couch lock... so I harvested when most were cloudy, some were clear and very very few were amber. Maybe every 3rd place I looked on a bud had an amber, but most were cloudy. I still had white pestils as well... only half were amber (I know you dont harvest by those, but I am just telling you, so you know where mine were.)

If you click my name and look at all the threads I started, you will see all the questions I asked...lol

Here is one with pictures:

I got a lot of great answers to all my questions and a lot of really great help. I grew 1 plant and got lucky with size, yield, and the fact it was female.

I am doing a grow log now and will post it soon.
Hope this helps a little.

i know man i just got some weed that is homegrown...and i gotta say the guy who grew it has done a fucking amazing job. out of 2 8ths ive managed to find 1 seed and im gonna try ad grow it some time in the future. :D

Wasn't it Snoop Dogg who sang "that real sticky icky shit"?

I agree. It was way better than the bag it came from. I didn't even have the patience to let it dry like you did. I started smoking it a day or two after harvest. It kept getting better and better, so now I will try some more patience. Good Job with the 2 month cure. I think that was the icing on your cake :thumbsup:

Hey Ice... crystals stayed pretty well, even after the coffe grinder... believe it or not. The smoke is so smooth, sometimes you wonder if yo even got any... until you exhale and a ton comes out...lol Thanks for the comments!

Hey PTS! Thanks... I really think the cure is why you cant tell how much you get...lol Which cn be bot good and bad... but there is no coughing at all... none. Which is awesome.

Good harvest....good cure.....equals good taste.
