What makes buds “harsh” to smoke?
💨🔥😖😣🤢 |
|
|
What causes buds to be harsh to smoke? Why does it seem so hit or miss? Sometimes you’ll have a harvest where some of the weed smokes great, and other weed from the same plant is harsh to smoke. If you have harsh buds and don’t understand why, today I’ll share the most common causes and how to fix/prevent them so your future weed is smooth smoking. After today’s tutorial on how to
prevent harshness, all your cannabis buds will be smooth and a joy to smoke.
Examples of "Smooth" Cannabis Strains |
|
|
Some strains like Lemon OG tend to be harsh on the throat regardless of how it’s grown Lots of factors affect smoothness, as outlined in today's article, but one often overlooked factor is genetics. Certain strains tend to be harsh (ie “Strawberry Cough“). This has nothing to do with how you grow and everything to do with genetics. Think about how smoking pine needles would be harsh regardless of what you do to them or how you grow them. Some cannabis strains tend to be like that to a tiny extent. Luckily there are many “smooth” strains, and that is what most cannabis breeders are breeding
for. Suggested “smooth” cannabis strains: Suggested autoflowering “smooth” strains: |
How Far Away Do I Keep My Grow Lights? |
|
|
How far away should you keep your grow lights for the best cannabis yields and potency? Did you know that you may be able to increase your yields and even strengthen bud potency simply by keeping your grow lights just the right distance from your plants? Cannabis plants capture energy from light and use that energy to grow bigger buds. In order to
maximize your cannabis yields, you want to give your plants as much light as possible without causing light burn. In other words, you want to increase light to max levels without going overboard. What can be confusing is that every grow light is different, and so are your plants. Luckily, I've put together this comprehensive tutorial to teach you how far to keep your grow
lights no matter which one you have! Click here to learn the perfect distance to keep your grow lights in your setup! |

"Awesome ty for all the good information." (in response to last week's newsletter about the 5 Best LED Grow Lights for 2023) ~Eddylee It always makes my day to hear that someone liked the newsletter. I work hard on them and it means a lot!
~Nebula |
"I love all the information I have received from your newsletter. This is my first indoor grow I usually grow outdoors and it is doing quite well thanx to you guys. I use ILGM seeds (the best) and fox farm soil with King led lights. I am about 3 weeks from harvest will send pics!! Again thanx so much and keep the information coming! Aloha" ~Kenneth Aloha Kenneth! Switching from
outdoors to indoors can be quite a change. I'm glad to hear it's been going well and the newsletter and website have been helpful. Can't wait to see those pictures! ~Nebula "Hey, I found your website in 2020 and adopted it as my bible when I started growing. I grow because there are 3 smoking adults in my household and the weed bill was excessive (~7000/year). I now spend maybe a few hundred a year for supplies and new gear instead. In today's economy that shouldn't go unnoticed.
Just wanted to say thank you and that you're doing the lord's work." ~Johnny weed seed Hey Johnny weed seed, I love the sentiment of anyone wanting to make more weed in the world, especially to supply a whole household. I also am
amazed at just how much cheaper it is to grow weed, and the quality is better too. Make sure to send us a picture of your favorite plants one of these days so we can feature you in the newsletter! ~Nebula

"By Gawd" ~Ithinkigotit Hey Ithinkigotit, I concur. You definitely got it! Look at all those gorgeous trichomes and that bud is just getting started! Can't wait to see it at harvest! ~Nebula P.S. Readers, click on the picture to see a glittery closeup! |
"Awww, she popped her little newborn baby wings out for LIFE! My 1st auto, little newborn OG Kush~ Ethos
Day 4. We have lift off, Major Stamen to ground control, keep yer fingers crossed,
over…💥"
~Major Stamen
I love autoflowering strains by Ethos Genetics. I have only had good-to-great results from them. Your seedling is looking picture perfect so far. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you even though I think you'll do great. Hope to see updates!
~Nebula "I have learned everything about growing from this site and your sage advice. I am eternally grateful. After many grows, this is what works for me and my space:
Two Master Kush, Purple Haze, Bubble Gum, from
ILGM and Seed Supreme. Two SF2000 LEDs in a 3x3 tent with AC Infinity Coudline T6 quiet exhaust fan, GH Flora series, CalMag, Silica Blast, Superthrive, Canna PK 13-14 for week 8-9 and KoolBloom for week 10-11. I will be cloning that tall Master Kush in the back for the rest of my life. Genetics in her are strong!!"
I have grown with an SF2000 LED before (here's the grow journal in case anyone missed it) and I was super impressed with the yields and bud quality These LEDs have obviously been treating your plants well too. Look at all those buds! And you're right; there is great bud stacking on the Master Kush. It looks like it's going to be an extra big yielder!

Don't let scammers limbo under your defenses! |

Scammers are getting better and better at sliding just under your defenses
|
Did you know scammers are now using chatbots to write convincing scam letters? Some of you may have heard of ChatGPT or Peplexity.ai, which are free chatbots that answer
questions and even write letters and essays for you on command. They were released to the public recently and have been remarkably popular. So what's the problem? Apparently scammers have been using these services to write ever-more-convincing scam letters, messages, and emails. So if it seems like suddenly scammers got better at impersonating real companies and people, it's not you. It's the chatbots doing the heavy lifting. Make sure to stay on the lookout for
scams by phone, email or social media. And remember, if something seems off, or if something seems too good to be true, investigate it before sending anyone your hard-earned money! Make sure to watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out!
It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email, etc.).
