Please explain. Wouldn't it make sense to save the better smoking pheno? I find a great smoking pheno much more appeallingy that about any other trait?

There all great to smoke. Bag appeal has nothing to do with how she smokes. Most people decide what they what to smoke by looks. If they don't know how good Sdubb is many pass on her because of looks after she is dry. In flower she looks great .

That's not how the people around me are. After being around the GG#4 for 2 years now, smell it what makes the decision for them. If it's not as "loud" as the Glue, the jar get's closed back up. Then To me and the people I know, the Dubb is just as loud. The second test is the look.

My Dubb was almost as frosty as the Glue, just doesn't sparkle as much. The potency is right up there with the Glue, and when I mention that it's one of the Glue's parents, that's all it takes. Dubb goes out the door. Reviews that have come back, say the Dubb is super tasty and strong.

Just goes to show the different cannabis demograph's and what preferences different area's have when it comes to selection traits for picking up a sack.

"loud" as a term is dying around here...

Now people are saying "gas" as a term for the good good.

Times they are a changing.

@Purple Frostbyte When I'm low on stash, I hit up a local grower, with decades of experience, who has some really wicked strains. He gives me tiny samples and IME the ugly ones often smoke best. So, I've stopped letting bag appeal have anything to do with selection. All it took was him saying, try it before you buy it, and I was back the next day with cash in hand.

That works if you don't mind traffic at your house, if you're dumping it all at once to a dispensary, they want bag appeal, because thats what their patients buy. Sad but that's economics.

Where I sell smell comes first. If you open the jar and dont smell shit it is on to the next. Then appearance. But then again they educate the customer as to what is best.

Aroma is very subjective. It's not that important unless its smells like hay. Potency and flav are the 2 I like the best. Then Aroma, Yield. The GVOG is strong in flower but she needs time to cure up to bring it back.. I think the s1 look a bit better than mum. Some runs turn out better than others. That happens with everything. You can tell when your having a good run.

This s1#100

Potency and flavor are both not visible from the appearance of the bud. Both are important but can be taught by the seller. But with out smell most people wont even look.

For the sale it is smell potency and flavor equally here with a good bud tender. If those are equal then appearance is next. Around here people just grow crap. It is easy to look better since most just looks like crap. Fluffy leafy tumbled looking junk with little to no smell.

Like I said Aroma can take time to get there.. If that's the most important u can lose out on many great cultivars. Same if looks is the most important. I would also be a try before u buy and go from there. dispensary's shouldn't have any issues finding someone to be a in house tester.. I'm sure they would get many applying for that job lol..

Its always strange hearing these bag appeal disp debates. Were I'm at I find myself finishing plants off that I wanna chuck but my customer base is so uneducated. It like ones mans trash is another's treasure.
What I think is blah most are like that was good shit . guess its not a bad problem consider its still a top dollar market to and i discount anything I don't think is fire

I have seen what IC is talking about. You take it in they open the bag if there's no aroma they hand it back we don't want that 1. They never even tried any. For me personally flav and potency is what I like. Typically if its got a great taste she will also smell great too.

I am going to post one of my sales technique that most people dont even think about.

If you want the best appearance sell joints.

Educate your resellers on the good better best selling practice if they dont know it. What I mean by this is that the seller says this joint is good, a gram is better but a quarter ounce and up is best.

This gives them the low middle and higher end market. Where I take my overages the joints are $5, the grams $10-18, and the quarters $50 and up. So the guy with hardly any money can get something as well as the guy with a pocket full of cash. In my market we cant sell concentrates but they can be done in a similar fashion.

So what you do is grind up the small buds, fluff, and off color buds. You can add some off the sugar leaf if it is high quality leaf. Remember this is the bottom end so they will accept a little harsher smoke. But dont good crazy with how much leaf you add back in.

I weight it and give it to a patient of mine who roles it into half gram joints. She charges 30 cents for each one. This works out to about $17 per ounce. Add a nickel for a paper and it cost about $20 to roll a ounce of low grade bud and leaf.

I charge a premium of about $18 dollars over my ounce for the joints. This works out to be a lose of about a dollar or to over my bud price. But it keeps my bud quality high, adds a little extra weight with leaf, and I dont have to trim real well on the smaller buds. I just knock off the non frosty part of the smaller buds and grind them up.

Now you must keep the quality of the joint up so no real garbage can go into it. It should smell good also because that with price are the only thing the customer can judge by.

Most people dont really realize all this because they have never been in a situation that requires sales. So maybe this will help some people get the bag appeal up.

I should also mention people will come in and buy six, seven, or eight joints at a time. This is because seven joints equals an 1/8 which is the same price.

This will also get people to come back and by the 1/8, 1/4, ect.
