I was wondering what determines the quality of weed. I wonder why there is mid-grade, why there is high-grade, and why there is shwag.

Someone once told me that mids, dank, and shwag all come from the same plant, just different parts of the plant.

I was thinking more though that the way the plant is grown, and the way the crop is harvested and cured was a better factor. I dont really know, but i dont have any real credible source to confirm.

Quality is determined directly by the number of Cannabinoids. The number of Cannabinoids is determined both by the genetics of the individual plant and the 'care' that goes into the growing.

Care; nutrition, day/night cycle, water levels and purity, etc.


The same things that make great fruit, make great marijuana.

Schwagg mids and dank do not come from the same plant. There will be parts that are less potent than some of the more prominent bud, but mostly all the bud on the plant will stay the same consistency.

Quality is determined by a number of factors. As Tro said, it all begins with how well it was grown. Care is key for great bud. You need to treat it like your own child

The better you are at growing, the better the marijuana will be. Genetics of the marijuana plant plays a key role. Some strains are well known to be very strong. Some strains are known for their flavor. Some are known for how easy they are grown, etc.

Just like a tomato, the best gardner will get the ripest, juiciest tomato from their garden.

Now, potency doesn't ALWAYS determine quality. I've had some bud that is completely mindblowing, but was really harsh and didn't taste well. One of my favorite strains is Sour Diesel. It's my favorite not because it's one of the strongest I've tried, but mostly for the taste, and it was simply a pleasure to smoke.

So in the end, the simple answer is quality is determined by potency, taste, smell, and how well it looks. Mids are mids because the growers don't care much for the plant. Schwagg is schwagg because they take even worse care of their plant.

But there are many deciding factors . Hope that helps. If it don't, well then I dono what to tell ya

look at the weed and look for the color, a nice light green or purple is best, then the crystals you want alot, after that the hairs more is preffered, and any seeds, stems, or too many leaves means one thing, not quite as good as it could have been, seeds are the worst thing possible by the way, but some strains such as trainwreck you can expect to find seeds but its still some crazy bud

Different strains dont have seeds its just how its gown

The only thing that you won't know str8 away unless you are an expert is the speciation. A more setiva like bud is much more desirable but kids seem to enjoy indica for some reason, wait till you are older and have to work for a living. One indicator of the setivaness is the development of the buds vs the peak of cannabinoid production. If the crystals have a perfectly clear appearance with a well developed mini mushroom shape and the buds are mature, it is definately more of a Setiva type plant. If the buds are underdeveloped and dense, its generally a sign of indica.

Setiva develops its cannabinoids about 1 month after the indicas. so setivas will appear more mature when they are fully potent.

And of course purple is the best thing you will ever seen on a bud. I just smoked some purple all the way through. It is so mellow and uplifting. Nothing lost in coordination, energy or even alertness.

some strains like trainwreck like to go hermi in the growing process so even in an all female growing room some seed may form, most dont do this but a few do

This is completely misleading. Purple color doesn't mean ANYTHING, in reality. Some potent strains are purple due to genetics, but MANY strains can turn purple whjen stressed by cold temps and whatnot. When this happens, the bud wiull indeed be purple, but the quality suffers and in reality, the "purple" may be weaker due to the stresses it suffered than an identical "green" plant of the same strain. Color isn't universally a sign of potent buds. Many a newbie smoker has forked over extra cash for "purple haze" or whatever, only to get bud thats in every way average.

I'm not certain if you are implying that there was strains that grow seedless...
That is not the case. Any strain can be pollinated by a male plant to induce seeding.
