3 bowls later and no buzz..

[The Grim Reefer]

PS - one bowl of those mids effed me up more than 3 bowls of my homegrown. (which is way more covered in trichomy goodness, tasted better a few times, and obviously looks better)

In spite of this, I'm not touching a single bud until they're done.

The Grim Reefer Reviewed by The Grim Reefer on 05-20-2006. 3 bowls later and no buzz.. Well, I chopped my harvest down a few days ago, and for a quick taste I decided to zap a bud in the microwave. Well, 4 x 10 second zaps later I'm left crumbling my finished product into a bowl. I scooped some into my freshly cleaned sherlock bubbler and took a few rips. It was a little harsh which I expected, in fact - every good bud I've ever bought in this town has been harsh as hell, not properly flushed or cured. I smoked the entire bowl and decided to smoke another. A few more big Rating: 5

THC degrades in heat, which is why it's risky to dry in an oven or even chop it up in a blender (heat from friction)...I couldn't find the post, but Harddon had said the specific temp. Maybe 110f?

A microwave oven works by passing microwave radiation at a frequency of 2450 MHz through the object you want to "cook". Water, fat, and sugar molecules absorb energy from the microwave beam in a process called dielectric heating. Most molecules are electric dipoles, meaning that they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other, and therefore vibrate as they try to align themselves with the alternating electric field induced by the microwave beam. This molecular movement creates heat.

Even on a defrost setting, it isn't a lower frequency, but shorter bursts of the same frequency.

Grim, I can't even begin to tell you how much curing improves the high. Hmmmm....lemme put it this way: when I first did a quick dry and taste I would give it a 2 (barely) on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being great). I was bummed. I just wanted a crop that gave me a good buzz, but it took two big bowls for a decent buzz.

Cured for 30 days and and it was a 4. A skinny spliff and I had a good buzz.

BUT...

My buds that I cured for over 60 days were awesome...maybe an 8. A couple of hits and you are STONED. Same plants were all mixed together.

It makes all the difference in the world. It also gave me the confidence that I could grow and cure better weed than anything I could buy. Not many commercial growers are curing their bud for 90 days...

Wow ski:

This is just what I wanted to hear, and you couldn't have made me feel any better about my crop.

May I ask how you cured?

I love scientific explanations!

in a big tupperware contain under his bed probably next to his shotgun on one side and his sword on the other. for 90 days

Darkness is not a myth...refering to your quote. Image reaper obviously grows very stable strains. Or doesn't get any light in his cabnet.
Comparing the moon and stars to a light leak really isn't right. Totally different. Strains that are F1's or just carry the hermie trait in there genes. Will always have a chance of hermieing if givin enough stress. Such as a broken dark period. Or a big light leak. Just thought you should know.:thumbsup:
