Look and feel. Look is self explanitory, and the feel kind of varies. Loose, wispy buds are a good indication of so-so weed. Not all the time, but I'd say 98% of the time, wispy buds are not the most potent.

A nice hard bud, or spongy bud, that bounces back, are a good sign of some good grown weed.

I find smell means nothing at all. I've smelled bud that smelled good, but smoked nasty.

I guess looks can be fooling to, but like before, 98% of the time, if it looks good, it is good.
Nochowderforyou Reviewed by Nochowderforyou on . Best indicators of good weed? What do you think the best signs are that the weed is good? I think smell and look of the bud is more important than whether it has seeds or not. Some bud looks decent but smells real bad like rotten vegetables 'n, while other bud has lots of seeds but smells like dank and is still better than it looks. Seeds 'n stems aren't a big deal to me if the bud is straight. Sometimes what people may call "regs" are actually good mids. Also some bud has almost no seeds but its still only low Rating: 5
