canabis colors and crystals
    #5419392 - 03/19/06 05:00 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

first off let me just say that im color deficiant, meaning i see different shades of all the colors in the rainbow and i get blue/purple mixed up and red/green/brown mixed up somtimes. so you can imagine how hard it is to visually look at weed and tell if its good stuff. ive never seen hairs or crystals on weed. ive smoked a semi-wide varity of weed from swag to meck to hydro-swag to stuff that supposedly glowed green almost (i didnt see that stuff, just smoked it in a joint.) so what exactly do the crystals look like, are they literal crystals? same with the hairs, what do i look for, maybe im just not looked at it right?

Crystals are Crystals and Hairs are Hairs. They look like they are described as, but just because it doesn't shine in the sun or look like sasquatch shit, doesn't mean it isn't good.

Crystals look like how they sound, and the hairs can be just about any color but are usually yellow to red.

Under a microscope or a good magnifying glass, crystals actually are shaped like mushrooms. A stem with a bulb at the end.

Explain what you mean by color deficient. Im interested

well color deficiantcy means that every color i see is a different shade than it would be to someone with normal eyes, and sometimes these shades get really close to one another even if the colors are different so they look the same to me. this happens most often with blue/purple and red/green/brown. its not somthing that bugs me at all, infact i normally dont even think about it.

No, you can see them just fine when they are broken up. The crystals tend to stay on the plant but some of it falls off. Compressed Crystals make natural hash. Crystals = resin glands.

You could miss hairs if red looks green, all you see is green. But you can still see the form if you look closly. Same with crystals. You can see little white shinys all over the nugs.

Good bud will often look 'fuzzy'. Hairs make little to no difference in the potency of the bud, but do indicate a good cure.

All good weed has crystals, in fact, if it gets you high, it had crystals on it. Thats what gets you high. Any bud that gets you retarded in one hit though will have gobs of crystals on it (or you have a low tolerance).

ah, i see. so crystals are on every weed plant, but the lower the quailty of the weed the eaiser the small amounts of crystals fall off so you never really see them?

^^ No, no.  Lower quality weed has less crystals (THC- the stuff that gets you high) to start off with.  So you'll definitely have more trouble seeing these crystals with lesser quality weed, but it has nothing to do with them falling off easier. 

Interestingly enough, the higher quality weed is so covered in these crystals that it's a lot easier for them to fall off headies than off of "bad" weed.  But don't worry about that, headies have so many "crystals"/such a high THC content, that you needn't be worried about some falling off :smile:

And I'm pretty sure you got the idea of crystals falling off easier from lower quality cannabis from this fact:
The hairs are generally a good indicator of not how good the nug is, but how good of care it has been given.  And if you are interested in me ranting on more about this phenomena, well, just ask :smile:

Mostly every reproductive organ on the plant has a hair or two sticking out of it. SO each each pod that in great numbers comprizes a bud, has a hair sticking out of it. Looks like this----> () with a hair sticking out the top.

More falls off when there is a bunch of these resin glands. With some types the glands are very easy to see even from further away.
You always can see(with normal vision) resin glands. Back in the day I remember the shittiest brown crap weed still has resin glands. They certainly dont shimmer the way they do with good weed.
Resin glands are not the only reason MJ works. Infact there is a significant amount of thc inside the plant material as well. Which pot has the most resin glands doesnt really matter as much as some people would think.

in my experience hairs don't mean much, I've had mid-range quality bud that had lots of hairs, and I've had top quality bud with a fraction of the hairs. Look closely for thin white crystals on the surface of the plant. If it's good bud and it's dry then when you break it up you should be able to feel a layer of crystals on your fingers, if it's not soo good then all you'll get on your fingers is dust (not really dust, but small particals of dried plant matter, much more visible than crystals)

This dude has a visual deficiency, thats why he asked the question.
(Just for future posters info)

Like stickywater said, Red hairs really dont say anything about how potent/healthy your weed is.
