Growing dense nuggs of fat buds sounds awesome

I feel like dosage for edibles is imprecise and all over the place these days. I've gotten fucked up on the dispensary gummies by eating pinches of the 5mg guys, but also felt nothing on 50mg chocolate bars and shit.

anyone in NJ know if the rec dispensaries over here have disposable vapes?

I agree on the inconsistencies of edibles. Took 100mg before a flight the other day and was only feeling it a little.

As far as disposable vapes, ascend, in Montclair has them, for sure.

What is your living set up like? Wouldn't recommend growing unless you can dedicate space to it + are cool with your electricity bill going up + don't mind your domicile permeating the stench of that distractingly smelly smell

I have a lot of open land outdoors for growing, and the area I live in gets less than 28 inches of rain per year. It's basically sun 300+ days per year. I've got separate facilities for drying/trimming and all that, so wouldn't have to bring much of anything inside my actual living space.

Like I said, it'll probably be more trial and error and just figuring it out. I definitely don't expect to yield anything significant on the first try.

Right on, good luck!

Love smoking dense nuggs of fat buds and just knowing my posts are about to get real bad.

DO IT! It's super easy to grow outdoors. This is my third year and I have only bought dense nuggs of fat buds twice since starting (I use about an ounce a month). Basically saves me over $4K a year. It's a time commitment, especially post harvest. Trimming 12-14 ozs of bud by yourself is a colossal effort, but you just take it a little bit at a time. And then of course ALL THAT TRIM that can be made into edibles.

See, outside of the personal test, this is my primary motivation. I'm a big budgeting/accounting guy -- arguably the biggest part of my job for almost a decade -- and no matter how you slice it, dense nuggs of fat buds purchased in larger amounts can be prohibitively expensive.

I'm in a county that disallows brick-and-mortar dispensaries and sales, so I have to get it delivered from a service licensed + based in another county 90 minutes south. I pay roughly $100/oz for what often amounts to pretty "meh" flower. It just isn't super sustainable.

[F.F Woodycooks]

if you're turned off by the quality of the w.eed you're getting from a west coast delivery service then the stuff you grow as a novice probably isn't going to thrill you either. it's an art form drying and curing to get those smells and flavors that people associate with top shelf w.eed

[Percussionist Foster Grant]

Honestly I think it's less about the quality I'm getting and more about being in need of a lengthy t-break. I wen't from never smoking dense nuggs of fat buds ever to every evening for the past few months.

The stuff I'm getting is usually 25-27% THC, so certainly not total garbage. I think my tolerance is just kinda shot.

[F.F Woodycooks]

tbh it's kinda wild that your tolerance is that high after your first few months of dense nuggs of fat buds smoking, it took me a couple years before that started to be a problem.

also the only rec dispensary in my neighborhood in queens just texted me to let me know they have $250 ounces as a SPECIAL just to give you some perspective on prices. I'd kill to find a consistent hook up for $100 ounces on the east coast.

I figure it's one of those things that I'll leave to professionals. I'm not sure of the savings if you value your time and freedom.

[Tstigz]

Yeah just for a hobby though like home brewing for example is another hobby that some people do

Pat – of all people – dismissing someone taking on a hobbyist project they could pay someone else to do better/cheaper?!

I grew three gorilla glue plants in my parents backyard during the first spring/summer of the pandemic and it was super fun and rewarding. It definitely helped with the stress and craziness of that time period. They were mostly in my parent’s care for the their last couple of months because I had to go back to work in person and I was getting daily updates like they were watching my kids for me. I ended up netting about half pound of pretty good dense nuggs of fat buds for the cost of soil and fertilizer and a fairly insignificant amount of labor.

I'm not dismissing anything, I'm just saying that there are some fantastic purveyors out there.

posters come out of the woodwork for the drama.

growing dense nuggs of fat buds outside is way harder than you'd think, and the quality is not that good, even if you sink $$$ into nutes and treatments etc etc. i've done it like 6 times and will never grow outside again.

if you're growing dense nuggs of fat buds, do it indoors. far less variables, and after 3-4 grows you'll start to get it down.

the appeal of growing dense nuggs of fat buds in 2022 is to just make rosin/have the ability to press fresh plant material on the go.

I decided to heed the word of friends and Board and go with an indoor grow setup. I've got a nice 8'x5' storage unit in the backyard of my new place, which can easily accommodate one of those controlled environment Mylar grow tents with built in airflow/humidity control. Discreet, out of sight, and the carbon filtering in the tent will help with odor.

I hope to start small with a few plants and if it turns out easy/fun, consider snagging a larger tent to accommodate bigger plants. I smoke quite a bit but in reality it probably shakes out to around an Oz. every 3 weeks. 3-5 plants would be moooore than sufficient.

I'm still pretty tapped out from this move and travel stuff, so this'll be slow-going. Hoping to have everything purchased and setup prior to Christmas tho!

I might have to pick the brains of the dense nuggs of fat buds-growing board population, just FYI, so board input will be appreciated.

Your light is going to matter a lot more than your plant count when considering yield. With a good led light you can pull 10-16 ounces out of a 2 x 4 space these days though, and that’s 2-3 plants. Realistically you’ll be able to do 3 full grows a year, 4 if you’re dialed in.

I grow organically using dry amendments for nutrients. Soil definitely doesn’t yield as much or grow as quickly but the quality is unparalleled. I find it’s the most idiot-proof way too, although I still manage to make mistakes.

The dispensary next to my apt is called Homegrown Apothecary and they work with independent farmers to get dense nuggs of fat buds at a good deal. Picked up half an ounce of some dank 22% sour chem og for $45. dense nuggs of fat buds nugs were fluffy, dank, and very sticky. 10/10 would recommend ya'll try that dispensary out.

I appreciate the input, I'm definitely planning to fully educate myself before even starting. With that said, I'll probably say some dumb noob shit a lot. Ha.

I decided on a 2 x 2 x 4 tent to start, so definitely starting relatively small. Once I get more comfortable (or if I want to keep doing this and don't get frustrated and bail) I'll upgrade to a larger tent, I imagine. 

I might hit you up in the DMs when I get this shit rolling though, if you're down for offering further advice.

Everyone looks dumb when they first start something new, and not wanting to look stupid is what holds most people back from trying.

Definitely look on YouTube for people growing in similar conditions as you, just seeing people set up their tents/rooms will give you a lot of insight on what you’re going to need. Growing in a storage shed will offer its own problems depending on where you live/the seasons.

I’m more than happy to field any questions you’ve got, but the things I don’t know could fill a warehouse. With that said, there’s no shortage of people who want you to think they know much more than they do so you need to be careful about just taking one persons advice as gospel. I’ve seen several peoples grows turn to shit by blindly following advice they got online.

Do you have specific strains you’re looking to grow? 4ft isn’t a lot of height but it’s totally doable.
