Let's keep the thread on track fellas. Posts that are irrelevant to the topic or attacks/flaming will be deleted. We have some great discussion going, let's not ruin this thread with useless bickering and fighting.
Hey, flushing is wrong. Period. It's really not so much a discussion as it is those of us who know just trying to convince flushers. I'm just trying to help.
My bud excels in the LA club scene. Our city is almost as famous as Amsterdam in connection with ganja for good reason. Growers have been breeding the best OG genetics for decades here. I have extensive experience dealing with LA shop managers. These people see bomb of every shape and form every day... day in and day out. Crystal covered shit is nothing to these guys. They've seen it all before. To get their attention you have to do everything just right and better. When they open your jar, it better be a smell they remember when they go home... otherwise, you never get a call back. Again, after years and years of fine-tuning, and the recent involvement of another RIU member who brought me the right genetics, I'm finally king of the hill in LA. If anyone has a problem with that, or doesn't believe me, I'll taste test anything they've grown against mine.
I understand that no matter how much my bud pics kick ass (and they do), it doesn't tell you how they smoke. But there are much more diplomatic ways to express that idea than either of those dudes posted. And if you know anything about pot, you know that there is a level of visual appeal that pretty much guarantees great weed. I don't have to smell or smoke weed to know that it's legit. If it's such an excellent visual specimen, all educated growers know that it excels. Anyone who questions this is just showing their lack of experience.
Edit:
All due respect to the great shit coming out of Canada, too.
I may sound like I talk a lot of shit. And many wonder why I bother when I have the threads and pix to do all the talking... And really, I'm not a boastful person by nature, but I've never been what one would consider bashful, either.
I state it plainly. If any of these growers on RIU think that what they're growing is better on average than the top shelf shop meds in the LA scene (which I doubt) then it still has my weed to contend with, which on average
IS superior to top shelf LA shop meds. That's just a statement of fact. And I don't flush.
Edit 2:
Seriously, I know there are a lot of talented growers here. But before you think about sticking that chest out, you should bring one of your jars into an LA shop. See what they say.
This is what they do: They look at your jar, they hold it up to the light with a frown, they pop it open and sniff it with a frown. Then they whip out one of their jars, pop it open, and hand it to you. This is the kind of scrutiny and fierce competition I'm used to. Can you compete? I can. And not only do I compete, on average I win.
Not flushing has improved my win column... When I was flushing, I had a harder time of it with these shop guys. What more do I need to say?
