lol. Yeah they are the quart size. How much are they at walmart? They are like 11 bucks at target right now.......You know what amuses me? Going to franchise stores and seeing that they have all the harvesting and curing needs on sale this time of year. haha. I went to Walmart last week and they sold out of MG bloom booster and Alaska Fish Fertilizer.....hmmmm wonder why haha.

D9-Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is a product of the precursor enzyme ‘THCA synthase’ acting upon the (CGB) substrate within Cannabis inflorescenci.
This compound is produced as an acid in the glandular trichomes of inflorescenci bracts and undergoes decarboxylation with age or heating to become the primary D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) psychoactive agent in cured Cannabis buds (Mechoulam, 1970; Turner et al., 1980; Pertwee, 2006).

What I'm getting out of this and tons of other information is that the trichomes on your plants are full of Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid and threw decarboxylation it becomes tetrahydrocannabinol. so thats why sundrying works because the sun gives off heat i guess. I just dont want harsh buds. so i guess it works but the harshness is the bad side of it.

One more thing that can effect harshness is chemicals. Either nutes or insect sprays that are pure chemical will give bud a real harshness. One more reason to flush if you use chemical nutes.

SYNTHETIC nutes rather....but we get what you mean. And yeah......also good to rinse plants off if using pesticides or fungicides

Personally I only grow organic so i dont really have to worry about that as much, but flushing wouldnt hurt for anybody. Also starving your plants for water a few days before harvest brings out the cannibinoids/ poency from what ive heard.

why do you say this? "Harshness is much more of a genetic feature than a result of the drying environment."
from what i read and have observed,the exact opposite is true...

I recently re-obtained an Afghani clone that had been passed around my area since 1991 or earlier. There was nothing that could be done to make this plant less harsh. That is just one example. (I dumped it primarily because of this feature....but some smokers loved it despite the suffering required to get high off it. Go figure.)
