Bud Weight

[thecurious1]

Very simple. You can't tell bud weight by simply looking at it. This gets brought up ALL the time and people continue to believe you can. You can't...period.

Different strains have different densities.

So how do I tell?

A) Buy a cheap $15 electronic scale on ebay or some other online store.

B) Buy a letter scale. They cost like $1-3

C) Use american nickles (they weigh 5 grams) and compare them in a bag with the bag of bud.

Example: You buy a 1/4 and want to know if you got majorly ripped. Take the bud and move it to one corner of the baggy. Place 3 nickles (15 grams) in the corner of another baggy. Compare weight of the two baggies.

Obviously B and C are not as accurate (specially C) but bottom line....

You can't tell the weight of bud with your eyes.

I 1000000% agree, too many people are "experts" here, adn think they know

Too right all you can realy do is estimate it but you could never get it close maybe if your lucky within a couple of grams but that is it thats why i have my trusty scales that i swapped for 2s on a spliff.

u cant tell weight from a picture but if u got the weed in front of u its pretty easy to eye it out

When you have seen weed for 10+ years and grow your self you can look at a bud and get a pritty accurate weight from picking it up and looking at denceness. Now i could not tell you from a pic of some bud im saying if i looked at some that was in front of me i could tell you pritty close it's weight.

Exactly, with a pic no one knows what the buds like, might be all fluffy and weigh nothing, or it might be really compressed and way alot.

IT even might be wet... so they is obviously gunner be putting more wight onto the final product.

Basically, no one can give an accurate estimation of weight...

Yep, it's way to hard to tell from a pic. Take a look at the pic below. What would your guess be? If someone posted this pic, saying they bought an 1/8th and asking if they were ripped off I'm sure 90% of people here would say "yes". It weighed out to 3.1 grams, just really dense dank. Ok, ok, an 1/8th should be 3.5 (it actually came from a 3 bud 1/4 ), but who would think it would even be close?

Best thing to do is to buy an inexpensive scale off e-bay. Not only will you know you're not getting ripped off but it will also end those "your 1/2 is bigger than mine" arguments with your friends when you split a bag.
