I save the biggest one because its like I'm tricking myself about how much weed I have. Say I pick up a 1/4.. first thing is to load any shake into the one hitter and finish it off. Then I start with the smallest buds and work my way up so that, at least at first, it appears as though I'm going through the weed slowly. Once you start tearing into that big-daddy the sack starts to look thin and sad.

I often do this, because if you do it right you've got a little bag of nice round little nugs of goodness and looks so nice... and then you always have a fairly accurate estimate of how much weed you've got left, and ration it better. It matters a lot where I come from, it's kinda hard to score a bag sometimes.

The shake first? that's the best part of the bag!

Recently I've started keeping my stash in a jar. I've made it a point to not smoke any of the shake (well unless I'm out of buds, but that means I managed the stash poorly). There is now a beautiful layer of shake on the bottom of the jar, can't wait for a few months to go by and this is a couple inches thick...

Urm do you mean shake or kief?

[–]karamorf 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Both. On the edges of the jar their is a nice layer of kief building up. On the bottom of the jar it has this as well, but I also have not touched the shake from about 4 different bags I've put into this jar.

This but with one addition. I normally buy a new bag when I'm down to my last big nug or two, then I smoke the shake from the new bag etc. etc. Eventually I have what is basically the Dream Team of nugs stored in my Tightvac til the town is dry.

That sounds like a plan I could never stick by. I have about 4 dealers I can call and usually will have some but it never fails if one is out the others are out too... these guys don't even know each other or run in the same circles. Shit just doesn't last long around here.

This method caused me horrible pain once. I had picked up a half O or an O, and it came with this one awesome looking bud. It looked exactly like a chicken nugget, and was incredibly dense. I hence named it 'chicken nug'.

It was my last bud left, when my mom went ape-shit on my brother for smoking, and the chicken nug was caught in the crossfire, and flushed down the toilet.

RIP Chicken Nug.

I see it as a conservation technique. See, the bigger the bud the longer it will take to dry out, since it is exposed to less air. So it makes sense to save those for last.

But it is much more likely to get mold. Following every harvest, the biggest ones go first since they are most likely to mold.

Seems kind of mean, treat all your weed equally, the little ones are probably already getting picked on by the big nug :(

This is artificial selection, as opposed to natural. We knew about artificial selection long before Darwin.

no no no, you always save the biggest bud for last!, when you've got nothing else and then you think oh wait, I dont have a little amount of shake left, i've got this big fucking bud!....greatest feeling ever

Best for last

[–]Tromad 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm going to go against my fellow ents as I use the master bud first. My reasoning is that when getting a new batch, excitement is at its peak, and within that new batch there will never be as good of a feeling as using the best and knowing you still have a shitload more trees. However, when all I have left is the master bud, I either go into conservation mode or I'm thinking "crap, only four bowls left, then I got to get more". This distracts from the glory of the master bud and doesn't allow it the respect it deserves.

[–]easyIsle 3 points4 points ago

i like to get really drunk at least once a month. This usually coincides pretty well with my monthly stash refill of 1/4 or 1/2z.

On that day I get really really drunk, and I hide some of the weed from myself. A bud here, bud there .. always stored in a tight bag so it doesn't dry out.

The days I do spring cleaning I usually end up becoming really happy after finding a previously stashed bud. Or when my girl is over and wants to smoke, i send her on a search and rescue mission. When she finds it she gets to smoke it

This also helps my tolerance believe it or not. I know i have weed somewhere and because I'm not always 100% sure where, it lasts longer. Otherwise, If it were in front of me, it would become vaped in short order

TL;DR... I dont save the biggest bud for last, I get drunk and hide a nice bud from myself for future happiness creation.

I like to hide surprise nugs too, once when moving out of a house I found at least an eigth and like $40 I hid from myself!

Now every once in a while I check under my mouse pad and kb to make sure there is no money hiding under there.

[–]heartthrowaways 0 points1 point ago

Love this idea and would do it in my dorm room if not for fear of parents uncovering a forgotten nug during move out.

[–]easyIsle 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you are leaving college you are old enough to get real with your parents. I'm sure they smoked themselves back in the day.

At the very least, you can blame it on the "random people I had in my room over the course of the year"

[–]Zyberst 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I have a stealth thing going over here, so it's just a quick grab down the bag, get a suitable sized nug, hide the bag and roll the joint, hide the joint in my pocket, and head outside or to a friend when everyone is reporting ready :)

Never ever smoke the keif nug first. Save it for as long as possible, also, if you break it up before you are ready to smoke all of the part that you don't smoke will lose a lot of the keif that has built up on it.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

first thing i do is go in and remove all seeds and stems, then break all the weed up and put it into a new baggie (old baggie filled with seeds and stems)

then i take a pinch or two and add it to a third baggie that has all sorts of weed from the past few months stored in it. then 2-3 times a year i'll break out the Frankenstein bag and get incredistoned

[–]darknyte 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I usually save it for last, but I always work my way from the bottom of a big bud up to the top because I think the top is always the best part of the bud. You gotta save the best for last.

Well I like to pick the headdie of my biggest nug of every sack I get till I have a nice collection of a bunch of different kinds of bud then smoke them together on a special occasion or make really nice mix bowls once in a while.

[–]trabo 1 point2 points ago

I do this, but I do it with everything. I don't eat the crunchberries until the last few bites, nor the marshmallows in my lucky charms.

I also pick my bowls from the bottom of the buds up, with the frosty tips being the last to be smoked!

[–]boymangodshit 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I like to split my sack up more than one way. My nicest, most dense bud goes in a different jar for last consumption and my biggest is the last of the rest that I smoke.

[–]KGera 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I always take one of the largest buds out when I first buy a new bag and hide it for myself for later. This has saved me so many times when I thought I was totally out and despaired for not having any weed on X occasion.

once i saved the best, nicest, juiciest bud till last - i was going to save it for a massive one on the way home.... well, i got busted and had to ditch it :( Knowing that lovely little bud is blowing around out there still kinda stings, so since then i take the very best, nicest bits and put them in the very first and most special spliff... by the time im on my last it's sticks and dust.

[–]CodenameMolotov 0 points1 point ago

[–]eshani15 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I always save either the biggest bud for last, or the one that looks the coolest. And when I grind that nug up I'm very particular about it. I'm not sure why I do it though, just one of those things I guess.

I used to but then I realized that if something happened to my bag I'd be pissed that I smoked the crappy stuff first. Plus I figure the longer a bud stays in the bag the drier it gets, so I always smoke the good stuff first.

[–]cannapuff 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Usually, yeah. But lately when I get a new batch, all of the nugs have been roughly the same size. But if one is noticeably bigger than the rest of them, then I always save it.

I save the biggest one as well, not only that but I smoke my bud from the bottom of the bud to the top, technically it should only matter if it was a kola(more THC at the top than bottom) but since these are already manicured buds I doubt it makes much of a difference.

My brother always told me (about "smørrebrød" - tallstacked ryebread open sandwiches) "Always start with the best piece - you'll be left with nothing but good ones".

I always see it the other way around - start with the best and you'll be all good.

[–]Nice_Marmot 0 points1 point ago

Ya I'll usually save the biggest, or use it to roll a fat joint first and hide it for safe keeping. "High me" always surprises me when I'm dry.

[–]Ridesabike -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I usually grind up all my weed as soon as I get it, then store it in a cardboard box. Leave it over night and is dry as a crisp the next day.

But before I got into this routine I used to do exactly what you said.
