actually, the term "
high grade" indicates a few things.. one of which is the fact that the production of high grade cannabis demands optimal growing conditions.. these conditions must be tightly controlled which renders an outside grow plot impossible.. now, you can have seeds from the strain that won last years Cannabis Cup but if your grow room, for example, is too hot, this will impede the opening of the sotomas which means the plant can't mine the air around it's leaves for co2.. & being that this particular plant can absorb 5 times the amount of co2 that naturally occurs in the air, proper ventilation is essential to create a chain effect due to how quickly these plants suck up available co2. at the same time, if you plant regular bag seed from swag, genetics ultimately dictate the potency so you're not gonna have a super ill strain from bag seed just because you invest in some co2 tanks, a tank regulator, a box fan & a grow light.. it involves a mixture of good genes & adequate grow room conditions..
high grade is also harvested when the tricombs start to turn from crystal clear to a cloudy white.. at this time, the thc produces more of a heady high as oppose to a sleepy body stone.. the majority of the growers working for mexican drug cartels not only disregard the fundamental first step to propagating potent sensimilla buds by waiting to search out all male plants & destroying them until harvest... [because the minute a female detects a males pollen on its pistols, it shuts down all thc production in exchange for seed production]... they also let the plants grow till all the tricombs change from the cloudy white to amber which denotes a deterioration of the thc... & lastly because of the need for a clandestine & secure trip across the border, they take the weed & throw it into compactors to chrush it down to tightly packed bricks which destroys the glandular heads that contain the thc, thereby drastically reducing your overall thc content [by weight].. in fact, wreckless handling of marijuana after harvest is the main cause of potency loss & that's why you sometimes see high grade in jars & not crumpled up in plastic zip locks..
the average swag plant is about .3% thc according to it's own weight.. soil grown buds coming out of seeds ordered from holland can get to about 10% .. hydro can soar up to 20% thc..
marijuana is comprised of about 300 different molecules, some of which actually act as inhibitors so you can't get the full effect of your weed unless you hash it up but the truth is, even really nice hash only holds 30% thc by weight.. when you use a stripping agent such as Vector, which is a butane that is refined 5 times, to extract the thc oils from the plant format correctly, you get oil that can easily reach 80% thc by weight.. so basically, you've literally never been this high... & the taste is...... the pure essence of thc..
i had some afghani that harvested/dried & cured in time for my birthday last year so i used the trim & some nugs to make some oil from it.. then i rolled the afghani buds in the afghani oil as the pic above shows.. shhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeet........... my best-friend & i had a private party & the next time i saw her, she told me how when she got back to her crib that evening, she turned the car off pulled the keys from the ignition & got out & realized she didn't have her keys any longer.. she was out side for 15 minutes tearing the car apart.. only then did she realize they weren't lost because she put them in her back pocket..
