the difference is pretty noticeable. cured trichs are more potent vs non cured. having said that, it doesnt mean that it cant be brainmelting. i made some oil the other day out of 5 plants that had been severely stunted and were dying.
it didnt make much more than maybe a pencil eraser sized smear. but it was pretty good, good enough that i was still kinda lit this morning after cooking it off last nite. i didnt even dry them, i probably would have gotten a little more if it was dry.
but i didnt expect as much as i got. took a quik look at a stem or two with a scope after and i could still see trichs that didnt get taken out.
