Is it just me, or do you have a hard decision every time you select a nug, especially the big beautiful ones! Even before I grew my own I still had an issue breaking open those big nugs. I remember back to those days of the compressed nugs in those Mylar bags. Even then the decision was always difficult with those big beauties! Now that I grow my own it’s even more difficult! I mean come on, if you started it from seed or clone and were lucky enough to get a bunch of big beautiful colas, well, I think it’s way more difficult to break em open. I thought once I had plenty of cannabis for myself it wouldn’t be as difficult, I was wrong. Now, When I reach into my Ball Jars and pick the big NUGs out, I look at em, smell em, look at it some more, maybe take a picture, and then say to myself “is today the day? “ What determines whether or not to crack it open? Usually for me it’s a Special occasion or Holiday but sometimes I might be medicated just enough to say fuck it, I’ll just grow another one! Here’s a few pics of my larger nugs that I still can’t break open just yet.
Nice looking stash you have there! I try and put most of the big buds at the bottom of the jar. I theorize that it will help keep moisture in the other buds on top of it, but really, I’m just hiding it from myself and saving it for last. I will get all the crumbs out of the jar before breaking the last big bud. Once you break off a piece, it just isn’t the same appearance wise, so I savor it.
Hey Chad, Thanks! That sounds like an interesting theory, but I don’t think that’s how humidity works? LOL The hiding part sounds solid though! I actually separated my small nugs and larger nugs into seperate ball jars this harvest so I wouldn’t accidentally give away the good stuff. By separating out the nugs I’ve realized the small nugs actually have a stronger smell and I can’t tell the difference in potency. Its really just the look, appearance is everything, lol
Gotta save those big nugs so you’ve got something to show off!
little buds are for smoking, big buds are for INSTAGRAM!
lol zzzzzzz I hate social media
I’m with ya on that! Big nugs are the money shot
I break those nugs up during the trim. Get rid of that big stem before you jar it.
Really, cmon man, really, oh don’t say it! 😬🤣 I’ll still save that big stem after smoking the big nug, I have a jar of stems I’ve been collecting for years! You want an incredible smell, crack open a jar of 10 year old stems, lol mmmm mmmm
This was more of a philosophical question, a pondering perhaps. Just meant to be a fun question.
