How to get your buds nice and fluffy

[Revanche21]

Instead of dry and brittle?

Is there a specific way to cure/dry them for a more fluffy feel?

or is it strain dependent?

throw a fan leaf or lemon peel, etc., into the curing jar ...it sounds too dry :smokin:

When you hang them don't leave them too long. I hang mine for about a week and half and then move them to plastic bags and open it every couple days to make sure there's no mold.

Sorry - off topic:
Hey Image...in regards to your sig...cash is the answer...?
So if I am on a fixed income and can not afford to give, even tho I've been donating my time, efforts and knowledge to help medical cannabis growers, you don't consider it to be helping the cause?

Altho I'm sure it isn't intentional, this seems to be an insult to those of us without extra income to ease our guilt thru donations. Perhaps it's just the wording. Perhaps you were refering to those med users that sell their crop. IDK. But I do know that not everyone on these boards is comfortable enough financially, to donate to any cause.

Regardless...giving away my 'spare' change, so others can 'say' they are doing something 'on my behalf' is a philosophy I do not subscribe to. My time and limited monies are better spent keeping my family alive and healthy with a roof over our heads.

Altho MPP and NORMAL are kinda good at what they do, (NORMAL has been at it for thirty something years, and cannabis is still not legalized...this isn't curing cancer, it's pushing legislation. Get it in fucking gear!) they are not (or at least were'nt previously) geared to help the individual needs of med cannabis users. I've been trying to save-up for a Volcano for my wife, for almost 4 months now. She's having problems inhaling smoke again. Perhaps you could rag on NORMAL or MPP for me...see if they could help us out. :thumbsup:

I don't know how this subject wound up in this thread :wtf: ... but, first off, MONEY is the fuel Washington D.C runs on, and nothing changes that fact ... I too, am on a 'fixed income' (disability), and I auto-withdraw $10/month for MPP ... if $10 a month gets to be too much for my budget to handle, I will blow my brains out, as I obviously have failed at life, with no chance of survival ... you can camp out in your Congressman's front yard in a tent, and greet him every morning with a 'legalize marijuana speech', and it won't mean shit ... BUT, donate (bribe) with Money, you will likely get his vote ... that's the 'real world' ... as for NORML, they almost had marijuana legalized in the early 70's, until their idiot founder 'Keith Stroup', got strung out on cocaine, and decided to push for marijuana AND cocaine legalization ... that single change lost thousands of pro-marijuana supporters (including myself) ... MPP, on the other hand, is almost solely responsible for getting the medical-marijuana laws on the ballots, they have just been OUTSTANDING :thumbsup: ... talking about pot to a bunch of stoners on a pot-website does NOTHING to change laws, nor do streetcorner soapbox speeches ... scrounge up $10 and send it in ... :smokin:

Because there are no pm's.

:wtf: Altho we sometimes can't afford my wife's chemo, and I can't afford insurance for my Hep-c...I'm willing to donate to the fund to purchase the bullet you require, as this is quite the sanctimonious attitude of elitism.

Nice try. I was there participating in California's attempts, and no...it wasn't even close. (but they did help with paraquat testing)

... until their idiot founder 'Keith Stroup', got strung out on cocaine, and decided to push for marijuana AND cocaine legalization... that single change lost thousands of pro-marijuana supporters (including myself)

Yet they still haven't convinced the only politician that matters. (Surgeon General of the United States) Thirty years of going for political change wasted on senators, congressmen, and other inept politicians. A couple of years ago (July '04) when I lived in Vegas, NORMAL and MPP were collecting signatures to get med cannabis on the ballots. After pimping us locals for donations, and help collecting signatures, the idiots "forgot" to submit the ballots by the June 15 deadline. Time and monies wasted, on organizations founded to represent us cannabis smokers. Yeah...they've got it together now.

Ahh...I see. All of us med growers and med users are just "a bunch of stoners". So just how many of your thousands of posts are directed strictly on activism? Seems to me, under your guidelines, you are not doing enough, and are therefore a failure.

The old addage "give a man a fish and you feed him for the day, but, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life" is a concept lost to you? Seems you are just full of insults directed at those less financially fortunate than you.
So send-in a $50.00 donation for me. That ought to be enough for this month, I'd really appreciate it. :jointsmile:

Lets take a deep breath. Nothing wrong with donating to the cause to further legalization. A lot of us are in the same position of limited funds. Part of the problem is there are getting to be too many places asking for donations to further the cause. The only 2 that get my money are NORML and MPP. They both seem to be doing the most to further the cause. Though I think on the legal end of it MPP(Marijuana Policy Project) is getting more results.

great read, thank you... but i still feel as though my question was not answered...

ive previously had some very squishy and fluffed buds, and some buds have been, around the same quality, if not better, dry and a little more sensitive to handling, is this based on how they are cured?
water cure?
air cure?
etc curing methods?

or is it genetic perhaps?

if there maybe a thread I have not found that explains different drying/curing methods and what type of bud they will produce in smoothness, or how the bud will feel in handling?
