I won’t say yes for sure, but the Reverend from Skunk magazine wrote an article about it years ago claiming it did work, and i finally tried it. It worked. I used the stinkiest males with the most hollow stalks.

It wouldn’t help you figuring out any cannabinoid ratios, but it would help you gauge potency.
i just looked up “Jelly Hash” and one person made Jelly Hash and normal Hash of the same bud. Told the same, also he percieves it as softer smoke.
Im not the only one. So youre saying that happens with lower Quality Material only.
Yep yep, And infact i recall using the first Quality Dry Sift (smallest mesh) got me high , and the bigger Mesh didnt.
Thanks for the reminder 
Funny is, i then took the low quality DrySift, rubbed it in hands, and then it got me high… Still hard to explain propperly.
That’s what I meant. Hopefully, once cannabis come off the Schedule 1 list, test kits (among other things) will become less expensive.
No you are misunderstanding what I am saying.
There are clearly understood reasons behind what you are discussing , different plant stages and methods of preparation combined with several other variables.
When you rub and press you are causing a reaction to occur that can increase potency especially depending on when and how the resin glands are harvested.
Smaller trichs may be further along in that process then larger based on holding capacity thus requiring the larger to be converted to thc before they are as active as the smaller. They don’t mature at the same exact rate and depending on your process you can get different results.
Most of what people refer to as jelly hash is a mixture of hash and hash oil typically in a 80/20 or 90/10 ratio resulting in a stronger product due to the infusion of a much stronger form of concentrate.

I was there in the early 90’s. Balochistan is a very large province.
The hash was amazing
Here is a pic from the Kyber Pass near Quetta. Never saw the wide leaf varieties…

That’s the “Black Tiger” Balochistan selection from Indian Landrace Exchange, available through Full Power Selections on IG. Sure is a beauty.
Keep in mind that seeds are taken off a purple plant found in a very large field, with multiple males being the pollen donors and my personal opinion is that you have just as good a chance to find purple genetics from any of the other selections…tho I would get this one too LOL

I have that same issue of SKUNK magazine. Those subtle details make all the difference.

@RoryBorealis They sure do. I had already bred my ( uncles) Afghani for many years before trying only hollow stalk pollen donors. It really does make sense they should be more potent, though. When plants go feral, stalks tend to really become woody in nature, much tougher. Cannabis strains are often made to produce either fiber or resin. (sometimes both )

Do you know what year that skunk magazine was from?

How would you describe the medicinal effects from that Afghani? I will go and dig through my vault and get back to you.

It’s been since 2017 that I had any, so fuzzy memory. The high is more up than what people think of when they think of typical Afghan. For many years I selected plants that didn’t make me fall asleep. The last “sleepytime” pheno I had was in 2012. Kinda regret breeding that trait out now, but i do have seed off that plant if i decide to bring it out again.

Hey! Nice! Thanks for posting that. Some golden info right there!
I’ve been using that leaf hair trick too. Although personally I think that’s a better indicator of good resin coverage than it is good potency.

It really is, but if you like it enough, it will eventually acclimate. I’ve done it. Only takes around 20 years lol. Here’s Afghani outdoors last summer. One of the wettest ever with at least 50% of days having rain.
