Flower Is it just me?

[McderK15695]

Hello!
So I’m still pretty new here, I got my first prescription last week.
I was very excited to try my new medicine when it arrived and I’ve enjoyed it for the first few days.
Though now i seem to have noticed that when i medicate with this new flower, the effects don’t seem to last very long. I feel the need to consume again rather quickly and i feel my old bm flower felt like the effects were stronger or lasted longer?
Has anybody else noticed this?

Good Morning @McderK15695 + welcome

Oh yes, we are too familiar with that - could you tell us what meds your prescribed?

So It was all Upstate, pineapple god, kush cookies, huckleberry and berry cream puff.
I haven’t tried the berry cream puff yet but the other 3 I found would all make okay day time strains for me at best.

 

[McderK15695]

And good morning!

Welcome!

Can't comment on Upstate as haven't had any of theirs. I would say though there is a general scale of quality and it can be the case that some strains / brands are longer lasting that others.

I wouldn't put all your items in the same brand next time, play the field a bit - you'll likely get a better idea of what is more effective / persistent

Thank you,
Well I thought this might be the case. I checked at there are 18 brands and over 100 products at my price point so maybe it’s just this time round I’ve been unlucky.
With it being my first script thought, the clinic has suggested these strains but I’m sure I can choose my own moving forward.

OK so 50g? @Lank72 is abs. right, also Upstate, for myself at least, I've found more miss than hit.

I’m prescribed 60g, so there was 10 of pineapple god and 10 of berry cream puff, 20g of the other two.
I guess it’s a case of trying lots and seeing what works. An expensive game to play

You have the abs. right to do this at any clinic. Alternaleaf pretty good so - did you make a free account at Montu yet? Then you can see their catalogue. As you said tho, its your first script, it takes time, but we will get there you quicker

I don't bet but most months do require a little spread betting, sadly.

An expensive game, and the odd frog to kiss along the way.

Welcome @McderK15695
I definitely find the effects weaken as I get used to the new product but also found this happened with BM to a lesser extent so I tend to get many different ones to try to stop my tolerance of a particular strain/terpene profile building between prescriptions ,

 

[GrownHealth]

Also your storage after opening can affect the product massively negatively or positively depending how you store it and adding a hydration/boveda pack can often help preserve the quality and even enhance it when used .

The terrible strain lock, can happen super quick, certain strains/brains, also a monthly occurence for many as they find themselves with 1 strain left until next month or pay/benefits day.

Well thanks for your insight guys! I’m not sure what I was expecting when going down the medical route, I suppose it’s naive to think that there wouldn’t be teething problems and other things to figure out. I’ve been medicating for years and often bought the odd bag that wasn’t up to scratch or just didn’t work well for me anyway. I guess it’s just frustrating when your stuck or feel that way. I’ve never used the boveda bags before as I’ve never had to store it for any length of time really, I’m guessing straight into glass jars with the packs is the way forward?

This is the preferred method of many of us but I'm a bit slack with it myself but it does help and especially with drier buds and some brands come with these packs already in them so the flower is already hydrated correctly when it arrives but still best to put it in a glass jar with the Boveda pack.

Flower Thread 'Included Boveda Pack Flower List'

8th Oct, 2024

I have noticed that there is no thread on the brands that insert a Boveda pack when packaging. The difference is significant i lean heavily towards any brand that does include a Boveda pack. Please post any new brands or missing thankyou! Also please note Lumir® and Peace Naturals® tend to as a brand include a Boveda.

The List:

• Lumir® WT2 T21 Wild Thailand
• Lumir® SM9 T24 Strawberry Malawi

You'll find your feet before long don't worry, plenty of tips on here, med. canna. youtuber reviews, and you'll start to get an eye for quality stains and genetics that work best for you

At least you know what you're getting this time, can get insights into terpene profiles, etc rather than the BM lucky dip of whatever they've got / whatever they tell you it is

Do you know what you (alledgedly) had from the BM that worked for you?

Well I was getting from a well known supplier who is a good friend. His bud is very good quality but I found things like skittlez, mac1 runtz worked well. Along with horchatta and various gelatos…. The odd strain was a miss for me but generally very good quality .

Just approaching 12 months on MC with Mamedica® (first class imo) and it is a monthly flutter - with no guarantee of satisfaction. ~ I like to follow MC youtubers for their opinions -and I prep my wish list, but the timing of your order can be a factor - if there is nothing you fancy - wait as long as you can to catch the latest releases. The popular strains generally don't seem to last long following good online reviews - so be quick. Certain Brands stand out (imo) - Green Karat, Peace Naturals® and lately some 4C Labs strains and DOE are getting good reviews (on my next Wishlist). The other (obvious) comment is that all weed is Batch dependant, so even when you find one you like, it may not be the same each time you buy (Checkout thread re Death Bubba - Indica then changing to Sativa!) .
I have not had any flower that I would rate above 8.5/10, and the majority I would say average 6.5/10 over the year. Good luck and welcome aboard.
