when you prune the leaves, the
nutrients concentrate in the flowers and they grow faster, so you get bigger but less potent flowers, when your plant is fully grown and you have not pruned it you remove it and hang it upside down for 10 - 14 days and all the good vitamins (wink) drain from the plant and leaves to the flowers at the bottom.
if you prune your plants instead and store the leaves they have thc in them, once finished you can put all the vegetation in to water and ice in to a 5 gallon bucket that has special netting at the bottom called bubble bags (bubble hash), you have to mix for 30 - 60 mins, the brown sediment (paste) at the bottom can then be collected and dried to make a block of very strong you know what, the water must be ICE cold to remove the thc. in other countries where they can grow it freely, they take the plants and put them under a clear plastic sheet and beat the living daylights out of them with canes, and i dont mean a few plants either, we are talking hundreds or sometimes thousands of them, it takes about 10-20 seconds to empty a plant, and they might do 2 at the same time, the thc falls in to a container under the plants as a brown sticky powder that you can mould in to shape with your hands like plasticine, this stuff is the strongest you can get if you smoke it in a pipe on its own, the stuff on the floor gets collected and sold as seen with foreign bodies, sand, in it etc. the vegetation is dumped. the only problem is by the time it gets to the streets of other countries it has been cut so many times it is now potent but not super potent, and could have anything in it.
the shade, colour, texture, and strength of the block always depends on the type of plant, or anything it may have been mixed with later.
if you put the original block on the streets without being cut there would be big trouble as the people are not used to smoking pure thc, it would probably even produce the same effects in some people as lsd, and also highly addictive.
one of the main reasons for not legalising it.
when it is not legal you are trying to protect the community, the stronger the cross breeding and plants, the more they move up the drug class bracket, as once legalised there is nothing against producing the strongest possible, and that would be like flooding the streets with a class A drug. places it is legalised have very serious problems like holland with open prostitution etc, not forgetting they have to grow it indoors and that costs money, they are trying to clamp down on the control of it now, before it really spirals out of control, but then, they will probably be covered over by sea water by that time..
