Growers who've completed atleast one full grow

Ok, this is just a personal poll/question, it's kind of silly but I'd just like to know how others feel about their crops. So...

I was thinking the other day that for me to really enjoy the fruits of my labor, I should abstain from smoking any weed for some time while my plants are either growing and/or just drying/curing. I was thinking that I might not smoke any weed for the entire drying and curing process (I have it set up that I will be curing for exactly 4 weeks, as I am going out of town and will be having my girlfriend do the curing for me).

So my question for you all is:

Do any of you do this? Abstain from smoking for some period of time nearing the end of your harvest to enjoy the fruits of your labor more? Am I completely crazy for thinking of this?

I was considering abstaining from the day I see pistils forming until after the entire curing process, but that just seemed a little excessive.

Anywho...Just a silly question/situation that I was thinking about the other day while stoned. Let me know what you guys think/do!

Best of luck to all.

you will be blown away by the time its cured, not to mention drooling over it. a month or so without smoke ain't gonna kill you, plus your tolerance will go down (you will get very :stoned: when you start back up) I believe its really worth the wait.

Yes, I know about my tolerance going down, and I know I have the power to go without smoking for a month as I once went 1 full year because I got bored of smoking. I think I'm going to do this. The 4 weeks that I will be gone will be because I am going home from college for winter break. I could easily get weed and smoke it, but I don't think I will.

At most, I will smoke a tiny bit of hash that I am planning on making after the grow is done.

Anyone else do this?

good, stick to it, everyone needs a break now and then.

No...I grow better pot and use better genetics as each growing cycle passes and my ability to produce the finest dank buddage increases. and I still get stoned everytime I light up!

Plus, I'd be climbin' a building with a high powered rifle, if I quit smoking pot...Just kidding. Just having fun. peace goodluck with your trials.

lol
i tend to not smoke at all during the whole growing process, as i cant afford to buy weed. for the past year or so ive only been smoking after i harvest and i stop once i run out of my own gear.

certainly makes me appreciate the growing process a whole lot more lol

Thats my next step, growing enough so i wont have to wait till next harvest..heheheh:D :D

Naw, I don't do that. I've taken many breaks in my life, even breaks spanning years, but I think I'm done with breaks. I'm getting older, and I want all the medicinal benefits (anti-cancer, anti-osteoporosis, anti-Alzheimer's, blah blah). I'd hate to come down with something like that and then wonder, "If I hadn't taken those breaks, would I have gotten this affliction?" So, I'm gonna smoke it up until they plant my corpse in the grave. ;)

what he said x2 lol

can i grow from beg. to end with just florescantlights ??

If you can do it, do it. I'm sure you will appreciate it a lot more when you get back, BUT, you will appreciate it a lot ANYWAY when you get back. It's your choice. Sounds like a cool test tho. I've never intentionally taken a break though. :D

Interesting question, and you've got some VERY wise people on your thread - helpful and wise even!
Here's the fist time I ever grew to fruition - http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=75798

now look at this... pics (all from seed, in soil/dirt)

1) 1st grow after 4-5 weeks with no knowledge
2) 2nd grow Just approaching 4 weeks - after first grow and learning things.

Your question... - It's hard not to! Read my grow log if you get a chance, and read jamstigators comment on it!
Also there is a theory (maybe just a theory) that you can become resistant (i.e build up a tollerance) to certain strains maybe, - anyway it's always nice to grow different strains too.
I'm gonna try something diff. from skunk #1 next time, this is gonna be a partial seed crop anyway.

Abstinance makes the heart grow fonder... hmmm, yeah right - I say this, horses for courses.

Love and light my friend - Hall x

I prefer growing different strains so there's no 'I'm sick of such-and-such type of high'...
Variety is the spice of life.

i wish i could stop smoking weed before harvest, usually i harvest before i have to stop smoking weed haha, i hate having no smoke....
