I love it when I have a hard time deciding what strain to grab while I’m at a dispensary and at the Kine Mine this is a common problem.  I go through a small process when deciding on the bud I choose.  The first thing to weed narrow down the candidates is the look of the buds.  While there are factors that can define a bud, like coloration and density, those characteristics do not necessarily decide on whether the bud is good or bad.  The things I consider that will make or break my decision are trichome content, stem size/amount, calyx content, and trim job.  I chose the NYC Diesel because the trichs were well-defined and abundant, the buds were full of calyxes, and the trim job was great.  One detractor would be the stems.

There were some inch long stems floating around, which was weird, but they were small and light so it didn’t affect my decision.  The next thing I look for is the smell.  A bud can have all of the visual characteristics I look for, but if it smells planty (not trimmed/dried/cured properly) or has little or no smell, it will dropped from consideration.  I feel like the smell of a bud is a trait that that strain was bred for, so I look for a very pungent odor.  Obviously, different strains will vary in smell, but I honestly like the way all well-grown marijuana smells.  So while I look for a strong smell, the type of smell is less important.

The smell of this NYC Diesel is incredible.  A combination of gasoline (guilty pleasure smell) and grapefruit, these buds sting the nostrils. Read The Full Article Here
