how is it that every one is gettin about the 35 % mark? i am consistinly gettin under 25

 

got it. didnt read proteins comment. havnt been pushing the air out. will give that a try

 

protein how hard do ya press down? arnt u worried youl fuc the buds?

 

If you're using this stuff you obviously stopped caring about bud quality a while back.

 

I see people getting excited about 'preserving' their buds and 'stopping them oxidising'.

 

Cannabis dried and cured properly will last a very long time (years upon years) without deteriorating, there is no need for a product like this unless you are looking for unscrupulous weight gain.

 

I do have to give the company top marks for marketing though, they have managed to suck a lot of people in who should know better.

 

Naycha :peace:

I agree Naycha ... I only experimented with the stuff because of the timing, I was about to harvest, needed to go to the hydro shop, it was free and this thread had just started.

I won't be using it again.

 

And your right about cannabis lasting a long time if stored properly, a mate stashed a couple of lb's in an old freezer sitting in a shed (it wasn't working). Six years later and there was hardly any difference.

I would never use this shit, but it's a sad day for people who still have to buy from these unscrupulous growers who use this shit commercially ... so great now my ounce is going to have EVEN LESS smoke than b4 cause its covered in some weight gaining crap? thanks, thanks alot.

 

but also this could work against people selling, if it locks in the smell - I judge my smoke on the smell as well as the look .... I would be more hesitant to buy some that does not smell like anything - id think something is definitely sus if my weed isn't smelling like weed.

Just push until the bubbles stop, as the liquid gets soaked up the buds spring back to shape but iv only tried on my strain might be different on other strains..btw u need volume and a bucket to do this hence the drama of getting enough sample bottles. i soaked 2355g of fresh heads and made sure i used most of it up. this dried to 824g - normally i get a bit over 1 g per watt outa this particular setup, two scrogged girls under a 600hps. Assuming itll still work and put a thick enough protective layer on the trichs then diluting by half again nextime should give me around 700+g instead which at this ratio is personally a more acceptable 15 - 20% weight increase instead of a third

 Who gives a shit about weight increase when the yield is exactly the same , nobody unless you are into selling and feel comfortable conning/ ripping people off .

lol, protein…you are baaad man. Love your honesty on a public forum, 
Im not judging you but is your gear reeeeally just for personal??

 



I certainly understand the concern voiced by the best of you 
but Im not so sure its all just a marketing gimmick - the reasoning holds its 
ground IMO. The medical marijuana industry pushes the oxidation issue all the 
time, N-sublimation storage and so on. I don't think they would do this if there 
wasn't good cause. I admit Ive never noticed my gear degrade and I store in
 containers but then again Ive not measured it against anything so the experience 
is purely subjective.



From everything Ive read in scientific literature THC 
profiles taper off from the point of harvest so whats left after a 6months
 would be substantially less, irrespective if your getting stoned, unless you have a 
freakin lab to measure blood samples for half-time rates the effect of the drug
 will only muddy your attempts to determine precisely how stoned you are from 
last time and the time before that etc..

 



I think about the tobacco industry and the amount of synthetic 
preservatives they use in cigarettes that are converted into carcinogens like 
toluene, benzene or hydrogen cyanide. Its crazy to think even though I quit
 smoking years ago I still mull up with it.

 



So in all fairness I say thumbs up to the company for 
choosing to use a benign fibre thats from the marijuana plant itself. If what 
people are saying is true and its reducing the smell somewhat, then I think thats 
indicative the product does what it claims to and is stopping the oxidation in 
its tracks.

 



However the big here question is is there simply a way 
around it just by using some common sense storage practices? I would think a 
freezer is obvious. Otherwise I suppose its a trade off between having potent 
bud that quickly degrade's vs retaining as much of the original potency as 
possible with a preservative and probably paying stupid amounts of money for it. 
Maybe with elite lines like og raskals whitefire and cousins it could be good to 
have some protective layer on the trillions of crystals on that strain, but as 
far as I know the genetics aren't in Australia yet ..and if they are they are they are 
sure to be keeping quiet about it.
