Cannabis storage methods

  1. Vacuum packed. Due to exposure to oxygen, marijuana oxidizes and loses color, so storing it in vacuum packaging helps preserve the quality of the product. But this method cannot be used for wet marijuana because anaerobic bacteria will develop in an oxygen-free environment and eat the cannabis.
  2. Aluminum foil bags. Aluminum foil bags (Mylar Bags) are ideal for storing marijuana. In the AliExpress store, 20 pieces can be bought for 14 rubles; on Amazon, 20 bags with a set of oxygen adsorbents are sold for $22.99.

  1. Raw storage. The buds can be stored raw in the freezer. Subsequently, a concentrate is produced from them using butane as a solvent.
  2. Dehumidifier. To reduce the chance of condensation, you can add desiccant agents such as silica gel to your cannabis container.

A gram of grass: how much is it? Visual assessment of the amount of marijuana

If you ever buy marijuana in the US, you'll want to know what a gram of weed looks like by eye. Scale is the obvious way to evaluate. However, you won't always have an understanding of scale. So it's always good to be able to visually judge the difference between 1 gram of weed and ⅛ ounce.

Convert ounces to grams

First, you need to learn how to convert from grams to ounces. Fractions ⅛ (eight), ¼ (quarter) and ½ (half) are measurements in relation to a full ounce. These are the basic numbers you need to know when purchasing different quantities of marijuana in the US:

Eight: 3.5 grams

Quarter: 7 grams

Half: 14 grams

Ounce: 28 grams

Gram of grass

Some buds are fresh, unpressed and fluffy, while others are compact, dense and compressed. As a result, two inflorescences, different in size, may turn out to be the same weight.

To help you visually understand what a gram of weed represents, we got our hands on a couple of buds from Slo Grown Genetics that weren't too dense or too fluffy to weigh. We then weighed the major quantities available at company booths during the Southern California Hemp Cup.

This is what a gram looks like.

Compare this to the photos of ⅛, ¼, ½ and ounce. A gram of weed should look like it could be rolled into a joint that you could share with someone else.

One eighth ounce

In the USA this amount is called eight and it is equal to 3.5 grams. To help you understand the difference between 1 gram of weed and ⅛ ounce - one eighth should be enough to smoke several times.

Here's a photo of an eighth of the same grass at the same scale for comparison.

One quarter ounce

A quarter in the US is called a quarter or “Q”. A quarter ounce in grams is 7 grams. Once you visually understand what 1 gram and one eighth is, you can roughly imagine a quarter. A quarter ounce is twice the size of a ⅛, so it should look twice the size.

This is what a quarter ounce of the same variety looks like on the same scale.

Half ounce

A half ounce, or simply half, is the largest amount of marijuana you will see for sale in the United States other than an ounce. Half an ounce is equal to 14 grams in the metric system.

Take a look at the half ounce in the photo to get an idea of ​​what you should expect compared to other quantities.

Ounce

An ounce is 28 grams of weed. It will be easier to judge an ounce by eye when you have an idea of ​​what ⅛, ¼ and ½ ounces visually look like.

Here's what an ounce of these same buds looks like, at the same scale with the other photos.

Now that you've seen the different amounts of marijuana compared to each other, you should have a good idea of ​​how to roughly determine the amount of marijuana with the naked eye, especially if you're in the US. As mentioned earlier, some varieties have a fluffier appearance than others, while some are dense and heavy despite their smaller size. Knowing how to visually tell the difference between each quantity is enough to ensure that you don't pay for a quarter and get an eighth. However, you will need a scale to ensure that you are not cheated by a small amount that is difficult to determine by eye.

What is hemp cultivation?

Cultivation of hemp refers to the creation of conditions under which the “grass” will not only grow well, but will also be resistant to adverse weather conditions.

Cultivation also refers to actions aimed at improving cultivation technology, developing new varieties, increasing the yield of hemp, etc.

According to Art. 18 of Federal Law No. 3-FZ of 01/08/1998 “On Narcotic Drugs” it is prohibited to cultivate hemp on the territory of Russia.

The only exception is the cultivation of this “weed” for its further use for educational, scientific purposes, as well as in industry (if it is not used for the manufacture of drugs).

Cultivation of hemp for further legal use for educational and scientific purposes can only be carried out by state enterprises that have the appropriate license.

Cultivation of hemp for industrial purposes can only be carried out by legal entities or individual entrepreneurs.

Article for growing marijuana

For growing hemp, from which marijuana is produced, a person can be subject to both administrative and criminal liability. This depends primarily on the amount of marijuana grown. If the act is committed in an insignificant amount, then the person will only be brought to administrative responsibility. This legislative norm is established:

  • Article 10.5.1. “Illegal cultivation of plants containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances or their precursors” of the Code of Administrative Offenses;
  • amendments to the Federal Law of May 19, 2010 No. 87-FZ “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the issue of cultivation of plants containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances or their precursors.”

Thanks to the amendments, criminal liability for the cultivation of hemp and other plants containing narcotic substances in small quantities was abolished. As for hemp, small size is defined as 20 bushes. Thus, if a person has grown less than 20 bushes of this plant, he will only be brought to administrative responsibility.

If hemp cultivation was carried out on a larger scale than 20 bushes, the offender will be prosecuted. This is provided for in Article 231 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Illegal cultivation of plants containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances or their precursors.”

It is worth noting that cultivation in accordance with the Federal Law of 01/08/1998 N 3-FZ “On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances” is various actions aimed at growing plants containing narcotic substances, improving cultivation technology, breeding new varieties with increased productivity , resistance to adverse weather conditions.

Growing techniques

Using various growing techniques you can squeeze out 50-200% more! Experienced cannabis growers often use fim pruning or mainlining. Thanks to such manipulations, instead of one stem, you get 2 or more. But this also has its own difficulties and nuances, for example the impossibility of training autoflowering varieties.

"Green Screen"

Screen of Green technology has gained enormous popularity. SCROG is a great way to cut 50-100% more! The technique is simple - a net is placed at a height of about 40 cm above the bushes. When the branches exceed it by 10 centimeters, they are stretched, bent, and tied. The procedure continues until a “blanket” of tops is formed over the mesh. The essence of SKROG is based on three facts:

Any light passing past the leaves and inflorescences is a loss of energy. The green screen creates a uniform “blanket” of leaves, allowing maximum absorption of the cannabis.

All plants are the same height

Bushes of the same size receive an equal amount of energy. With SKROG, not a single pine cone or branch remains in the shade! It becomes possible to lower the lamp to an acceptable distance without burning the plants. The temperature should not exceed 77 degrees.

No fluffy or soft buds

Since the lower branches that do not pass through the mesh must be trimmed, the plants do not waste energy producing airy buds at the base. All their life activity is focused on the formation of the upper stakes.

Hemp seed yield

Productivity of hemp seeds
When choosing a variety, all novice growers step on the rake of the declared yield from the manufacturer. The numbers in catalogs vary between 400-1500 grams per plant, but in reality it turns out to be several times less. And sometimes some square meters are indicated. So how much harvest can you really get from one cannabis bush and how to achieve record numbers? There is no definite answer to this question, because harvesting depends on a number of variables, so in this article we tried to collect all the nuances of cultivation that affect the final mass of the harvested crop.
