Hence the slang word (Hard Ball). But just cause its dense does not mean it the best or better the fluffy weed. In the end it all comes down to the quality of weed itself. They determine by how covered it is with trichomes(lil white crystals), how many hairs it has, the color, the smell, the stickyness. Most likley if your weed is covered with crystals, trimmed, dryed/cured right the clubs(Marjuana despenseries) will buy it. hope this helps.
Thank you. I hadn't heard about the number of hairs before as being significant. I thought is was all about the trichomes. This one bud tender told me (regarding dense buds) that even though some don't look so trichomy on the outside of the bud, there are a lot of trichomes on the inside - that the resin glands are bigger on dense buds. I guess he knows what he is talking about?

I'm on a mission to try them all at least once. So far I've tried about 20 different kinds from the main dispensary that I frequent. Probably 20-30 left on my list.
A worthy goal; but, when you find a good strain, is it the same the second, or third, or forth, etc. time around? Or is it a bit different every time? It seems to me that this is not an exact science...
