Beaster...

who here is aware of or smokes the infamous "beaster" bud? I can't tell you too much about it - it's incredibaly popular around here and I consider it low grade sinsimillia but what i don't know is how its made... looks like it was grown right then de trichromed as if they were ripped away from the buds... does anyone who knows what im talking about have a picture of some beaster? (forgive me if this is just an american thing) what do you guys think about it and how do you think its grown?

my view is it gets me high cost a little bit more than regular "schwag" weight wise i can get 7.5 of schwag for 20 or i can ger 3.5 of "beaster" although they go good together in a blunt so i usually get a bit of both....
 
For those who are clueless now beaster is commercialized mass produced pot from canada. Normally the strain is big bud and its kiefed usually before being sold so virtually no crystals except the middle of the buds.

in my city about 3 or 4 years ago there was nothing in this city but local homegrown now i imagine some dealer got a beaster connect and it started to go downhill from there.... Ive gotten word on prices on an O and its almost sad how cheap it is nearly as cheap as regular schwag lowest ive heard on it is 125 and that is just an O so imagine the deal u get on a lb ... anyway it was kind of the demise of the citys weed industry because as soon as someone got a connect i imagine it was about 3 years ago when i started seeing it became flooded with these half dank nugs everywhere. now a days people charge 35$ for 1.5 for some quality un adulterated sinsi :spank:

edit: about 3 years ago i could get a fat quarter of some good homegrown for 60 dollars less that most ppl pay for the "beaster" now

Those people who make those beasters and strip the buds; what do they do with the stuff that they strip off ? Make hash or something ? Wouldn't they make more money just selling decent buds, without stripping any stuff off ?

:wave:

people always say its warehouse weed and very little of it is ware house weed.

most of it is 44 day indicas like mighty mite, cream sodica, m39 (not SSSC the biker strain they harvest in 39 days) and a few others grown in the endless canadian woods.

go to pot tv and they have the million dollar grow shows. the 800lbs of outdoor afghani and they left 200lbs of it in the field because they didn't even want to bother messing with it. enough to trim already.

thats what beaster is. and its 90% of the "kind bud" in new orleans. but the MF'ers make a fortune. its about 800-1200 usd in canada and they sell it at 280-300 an O 3500-3800 a lb to stupid people.

theres plenty of beasters here but I try to smoke the heads always when they are around
 
You ever chew on a stalk from yer own grow of good flushed meds?The stem will taste sweet n just like the bud itself.Now,chew on a stalk from beasters n you will get a chemmy shitty sour taste :bashhead: ,GARBAGE.Its wet,chem filled and kiefed,id reather smoke some imported Mexi.Sometimes you come across some exotic shit thats never been kiefed or fed.Anyone who sells that shit to a person that is sick and needs meds should be sentenced to a lifetime of smokinig it themselves.Cuase you know they dont smoke it there self,that stuff has got to be unhealthy.My opinion,stay away from it and anyone that sells it to there friends.Peace and stay safe :wave: ,PVP

So beasters is just bud that has been used for hash making and then sold? I knew there had to be something to it. But when people use bud to make hash does it affect the trichomes on the inside too?

From what I understand, beasters are lower quality, fast, high yielding strains that are improperly dried, never cured, packed by the kilo into vacuum sealed bags (causing trichome loss), and then exported.

lemon hit it.

I mean I suppose some of it is kiefed but not most of it. probably the higher end beaster. the beaster we get here I wish my camera hadn't broke I got a pic of it, its such a joke. It's just a red color. we call it canada red as a joke. all red hairs. no trichs. you could kief it but you wouldn't get anything. the wet trichs are smashed flat when backpacked by the garbage bag from the field. if you look at it there are no trichs. none. just an oily sheen on the buds that decomposes within a month. and is sold for an entire year.

when we get those harsh warehouse beaster nugs we don't even bitch. we are happy. and don't care if its kiefed. as least it has trichomes to kief.

its canada's version of schwag. mass field produced indica nugs. they are cut and stuffed wet into garbage bags before they are even trimmed to dry. then probably dried with space heaters and vaccum sealed to stew in its own funk.

You know how the first two weeks of curing the weed smells really bad when you burp the jar? from all the gases of decomposing plant material? well the marinate in that smell, and the heat, and the rough handling. and are sold to you. they don't get burped or cured or anything.

and let me tell you yankees something. you don't know what beaster is until you've seen what it looks like in august. a full year from its harvest. and shipped all the way to the gulf coast. at the bottom of the country where everyone got their first picks before it got here. Boy I'll tell you what. then you'll know what beaster is. Rednecks are smoking some of the most embarassing "kind bud" you could imagine. If my camera was working I'd have you guys laughing right now. I got a perfect pic of it.

shit weed. field indica. canda red. canuck hay.

Lol I thought that was brick weed or schwagg or shitty import lol? I think beasters are something different.

And that Canadian Red sounds horrible. Sucks what people do but hey, it's all solved by the same solution. If one guy can't get a hold of good buds, go to some one else or grow your own..or both lol :joint:.

Where I live the beasters are grown on the reservations in hydro systems. I got a chance to see one of the pperations a couple years ago and it was massive. They pick it before it's ready so they can get another batch growing. Once it reaches good size they pluck it and it doesn't get a chance to ripen. It's also sent out before being dried compleyely. When you smoke it or taste it you can tell it was grown heavily chemed. I would go without before I smoked it.

A+ "Beaster". LOL

Beaster can mean anything from wet, non crystal bullshiat to A++ canadian import, My guy just refers to this stuff as beast and it's great (for the price anyways), pure indica (i smoke for pain relief), and it's cheap...not that I don't love getting the Hawaiin Skunk, but its nearly 2x as much$ and nowhere near 2x as much thc.
I have also got "beaster" that was compressed still wet and had very little thc and was harvested prematurely...
