@Instg8ter Yea I agree they are very special in the effects and I am biased as I just love the kind of effects. I would suppose that growing weed in Hawaii would also be a good idea as the climate is very special. Maybe the string thing would be an indication on batch like you say if growing perpetual like you can here it would be a good idea to not forget which batch has been curing for how long hehe. I also always saw one color at a time, never multiple colors but to be honest most of the commercial weed around these parts are not tied with string only pressed. 10 years ago the strings were more common in my experience.
Yea the tropics is brutal to most things when they are cut. Fruits, vegetables, weed and seed all go bad pretty quick. I am from north Europe and it’s nothing like back home where things last a whole lot longer most times of year.
@GMan maybe the cure would make some THC transform like cure does and like growing plants different times can do. I don’t know, just speculating now. It sure does seem to be a good idea for keeping weed longer with better flavors and smells.
I can see a whole army of women working extra tying flowers to sticks. One thing that definitely is a fact still in these parts though is that if one entity has some success in a process it is often copied. Not saying the sticks were copied but maybe they were eventually grown in more than one place. But again I am only speculating. It seems to work that way with most businesses here though. They see one person having success and then you see another, just the same kind, business pop up around that first. In tourist areas you can definitely see this kind of behavior where there can be the same kind of shops all along the same street. Oh the tourists like massages, boom you have ten of those shops in a row. Or the market. Oh people seem to love fish cakes so everyone’s frying fish cakes.
The sad things is that it was probably the “war on drugs” from the west that put an end to those glory days as it is now very dangerous or very, very expensive to run any kind of operation like that in most areas here. Only in the most remote places can you feel a bit safe yet if you’re caught with it, they can pretty much take you for everything you have. Even with the new medical kind of rules it doesn’t mean anyone can smoke or grow it, far from it. I had hopes that they would use it as a crop for all the people to be able to grow and eventually, when the whole world gets off this trip of trying to kill cannabis culture, that they could export it. Nothing like those south east asian types grown in south east asian climate under the sun. even grown under the sun but in a different climate, I would expect things to change a bit. There’s something special with this climate and you can taste it in fruits and other crops as well. I would love to see thai sticks come back and people being able to grow it properly. That is probably the number one problem with quality these days, the ability to grow it properly.
