My friend and I have one main guy we buy from when our grows are in progress, hes a really professional guy, and he always gets supplies from the same grower, who supplies him with a LOT so I think hes got a pretty big op. The buds he gets are pungent and sparking with trichomes, and theyre very bright green with bright red hairs... they're dried properly, but they're not very potent at all.

Recently, I've been getting stuff thru a friend since the other guy has been having supply shortages. The stuff I buy from him (he has "regs" and "kush", around here people call everything kush to charge more, so I always get the regs) doesn't smell that strong, is sort of a pale green with no red hairs, but its really dense and dry, and I barely have to smoke anything to get wasted, just crumble a tiny bit in the bowl and Im set.

So Im wondering what kind of difference there is in the processes they use. How do I get those nice rock-solid cures with no red hairs and all that?

likely better genetics, better cure, better grower; any combination of those three. if the difference is that big though it's almost definitely genetics.

are they blocky and rock solid? cuz then it is just the packaging they get put in (vacum bags are the industry standard for commercial shit). But if they are just uncompressed nugs that are tight then it probably has to do with good light + good genetics.

Also, when you switch up add a new strain to your diet, your body has less tolerance to it than the more common ones, thus making you "more stoned". Tolerance will eventually send you packing for a new strain, or at least plant
