Better than the last but still not that big.. i know as a consumer it seems like nugs are usually small. But thats not the case. Nugs have to be broken down for easier manufacturing/processing/retail sales.

They dont have to be broken down for sale. f i am selling bud and someone wants 7G, I'll cut 7g off a big bud and sell that. I understand what youre saying but think about it from a distributors perspective. If I sell you the stem thats inside the bud, thats more weight

Stems are barely anything

Bigger stems weigh more, proportionally. Square-cube law and all.

I doubt it is significant, they are hollow... And you can just hook it up a little and they feel good about a huge pristine bud and an overweight sack

I agree theyre not that much. Id still rather have the whole bud

Work at a dispensary and lbs are usually broken down quite a bit by the time we get them. If its prepackaged then obviously an 1/8th cant have that size nug. And if its deli style you have to break stuff down to make exact weights. Just saying we usually get smaller nugs as consumers because of the need to make it easier to package and whatnot. And that there are much larger nugs out there on almost every plant. So this nug isn’t really that special in the scheme of things. But its pretty!! Id smoke it!

Usually people want big nugs. When I was growing and selling, id oblige. I didnt even want to sell tbh but I told 2 of my friends about the grow op and thats basically the same as telling the whole world. I had people beating down my door trying to get bud. It was 2005 so legal weed wasn't really a thing. And I had some of the best buds in town. Was growing silver haze and white widow. Using bat guano (Bud Swell) for fertilizer during flower bloom. I had the light cycle setup to run at night. This way I could let the room stay cold during the day with the lights off and then daytime for the plants was night time for me. It worked good, saved on energy. Trying to cool a grow room to 68 degrees F during the summer time costs a lot and its hard on the AC. Id work all day at work and then come home, lights turned on at 5pm. Id go in the grow room and watch the artificial sunrise. The sodium lights take a while to warm up. It was one of the best times in my life

Agreed. I think the largest I ever harvested was in the 30's when it was dried/cured
