To get a bowl to cherry, snip it up. Don't just cram a bud in there. To get a bowl to cherry is to allow air to flow freely through the bud, and a crammed buds in a bowl, especially a dense bud, will not cherry, so snip it up, a lightly put in the bowl. The key is to have the busted up grass sit loosely in the bowl, and the drier the grass is, the better it will cherry, and also burn faster too.
