After getting ripped off by a jackass dealer I decided that I was going to grow my own weed in my dorm room from then on, the weed it got had a bag of stems and seeds and I was too stupid to check. I went out and bought all the necessary items, pots, soil, 48" flouros, CFLs, ect. and commenced growing. By the time I was growing about 4 plants, one of which was about 2 feet tall all in veg, I decided I wanted a cheeseburgers and commenced cooking one. The last time I had tried to make one it filled my room with smoke and the fire alarm went off and I got a visit by the popo. Same thing happened this time. Knowing the cops were on their way I hid everything related to pot in my room and stuffed it in a closet/bureu (sp?) thing. The cops showed up, called me Emrald, and left. Second scary stupid thing while growing happened after I had cut off a leaf of my biggest plant and wanted to cure it quickly. I had heard that you could do so by putting the pot in a microwave and cooking it for a few seconds. I didn't have a microwave in my room but there was one on the next floor so I put a leaf in a ceramic bowl and covered it with a paper towel so noone would know what was in the bowl. I went to the floor below me and threw it into the microwave . As it was "cooking" a kid walked by but was out of sight before I noticed that the microwave was sparking on the inside. In a panic I opened it and a puff of smoke blew in my face. The paper towel was smoking and glowing red in the middle. I quickly picked up the bowl and started walking faster than most people run to my dorm room. This was a dumb thing to do. the air flowing over the embers lit the entire paper towel on fire, so now I had a bowl with a weed leaf with a huge flame on top of it in the middle of a dorm hall way. I threw the PT on the ground stomped it out and tried picking up the remainder to clear all possible evidence. It had melted to the carpet so I just got up and headed for my room. I got there closed the door opened a window sprayed some air freshener and shit my pants (not literally). Luckily I got off scot free and it was never traced back to me. Those are my tales, neither of which stopped me from growing, but in the end I could never flower the babies because they smelled too much and had to murder them a week or two after the microwave incident .
you do know there is no THC in the leaves right? you want to get the buds off and smoke those, not the leaves.
I've been told there is significantly less THC in leaves than bud but not that there is no THC in them. That's why you can chop up males once u get an 1-1.5 oz of leaves/stems and make cannabutter. Even if you're right smoking the leaves got me high for about 30 min, so at least the placebo (sp?) effect works still lol.
Ive also found the placebo effect to work, which considering some smaller leaves can be as much as 3% THC (I know that's not a lot by todays standards - however it would be fair game yesteryear). So it's a good placebo.
Thats officially the gutsiest thing I've ever heard. 1) You grew in your dorm room. 2) You had police visiting you while you were growing lol. Holy shit, I just can't believe it. Good work, you get +rep from me for sure! EDIT: Anything below 1% THC is basically unsmokable, 1.7 to 2.3 is average stuff, and anything over 3% THC is getting pretty damn nice. Although people cite the %'ge THC in thier buds as a mark of elitism, it only gets you baked faster off less, and not always 'higher' than normal bud.
Yeah I love it when I read a thread outside of this forum on Fark and EVERYONE smokes "the dankest weed on the planet" and it makes them trip and shit lol. For fun reasons I'd rather smoke a blunt of shwag than a bowl of nug but for health reasons the bowl is better so it all depends on my mood at the time (and my current connections lol). Haha it was terrifying at the time, but hilarious now.
If your talking about the THC in just leaves I agree but if your saying 1.7-2.3 is average for the buds thats way off. From what Ive heard for buds midwest where theres alot of schwagg is like 3-5% THC, mids/beast is anywhere from 5-15% THC, Dank bud and headies is anywhere from 15-28ish for the best, I think Jack Herrer is like 28. AK47 is 21% THC. Ive had silver haze that was 24% (guy sent it to labs lol, it was awesome) Ofcourse it varies grow to grow. As far as the baked faster off less but not always higher, thats true different strains and plants have different highs.

I'm not saying you're wrong in any way, shpae or form, but blasted. From the limited studying up I've done on Oasis (my babies' strain) and their THC %age is around 12.3% I believe and I'll be disappointed if they are only middies grade since I wanna make a few$$ off of em.
