THat's the ideal way I agree but @goingrey was asking about buds that have been fully vacuumed as tight as possible to get this look I think.

This brand Cyco is quite popular in Spain among coco growers, who get similar results as those in these pictures. As I'm reading now they've had products banned in different countries because of what you said.
Cyco Nutrients Busted in Australia - the king of PGRs
The APVMA (Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority) in Australia just busted Cyco Nutrients for about a decades worth of flogging their Cyco Flower A (paclobutrazol) and Cyco Flower B (chlormequat chloride) poisons off label. Cyco without a doubt (no contest) has been, hands...

They are also marketed as "pharmaceutical grade nutrients" which makes me chuckle because who cares if it is pharmaceutical grade, if they carry potentially harmful components
I'd rather use "poop grade" nutrients thank you. You can have pharmaceutical grade cyanide as well can't you? xD

I watch it few times on PC and I think its real.
At phone it looked like some hoax like that after buds were different colour.

I always knew broccoli had to be evil in some way
not surprised. none for me either...
yeah i dont know about legal weed but a lot of the stuff i see for sale look alot like this.i just assumed it was trimmed in a trimming machine.either way fuck dispenseries and fuck dirty growers
thats what it looks like out of a machine trimmer. i grow all organic outdoor with no pgrs.
you run it through a machine trimmer and it spits out these rocks... all of the goodies are in the trim bin.
when i started the small commercial farm i said, "and we will hand trim to seperate ourselves from the herd"
but when you are a one man show and you are stuck in a room with hundreds of pounds of flowers... and you are still completely exhausted from harvesting your whole field...
ideas change.
these space rock looking nuggets are what the uninformed market wants. people on here? no. thats not what we want.
but if you havent walked a mile in someone elses shoes its easy to point and laugh.
standing at a trimming machine is a very painful experience for me. but i do it. then i daydream about all of the trichs in the trim bin and what im going to do with them later.

No I don't believe it's just trimming it's just to compact it's gotta be growth regulators as well. My bud you can trim/ tumble all you want but it won't end up like that. But one thing for sure is yes that's what the fools want , it's become the norm sadly. The weed snobs have no clue. To be fare I don't know what a wet trimmer will do but I don't believe it compacts it like that .I can squeeze my bud has hard as I can it will compact a little but it will spring back some to .That shit looks just to fake and compact

Curious are y'all saying that PGR hormones pass the pesticide tests in rec states? I worked in the hemp industry and it was so damn strict you couldn't even spray beuavaria products. I always thought dispensary crap looked like that cause it was trimmed bald and miles far from a good sativa genepool.

People definitely are adding all sorts of crap nutes to commercial crops, I think that's the biggest factor.
BUT Vacsealing is also a big reason especially when bags get triple sealed and shipped cross country or sit around sealed for a long time.
I chopped a half pound of outdoor 2wks early last year and vacced it all. One of my 3 vaccum sealers is in chinese cuz i got it at a thrift shop for 1.79$ lol. Hit the wrong button and shit got compressed as hell. open it to air it out and forgot about it for a week and it dried out down to about 50% rh. Compared to the rest of the crop from the SAME PLANTS harvested 2 weeks later the nugs feel + look completely different. Vacseal early pack went into jars soon after and stayed as rounded hard lil balls that thunked when they fell onto anything. No more distinct pistils or nooks and crannys on the nugs just that general modern nug structure and smooth surface. If you cracked em open you could glimpse an orange-brown pistil or two but the texture and feel was completely like the PGR nugs i've touched in my life. Plants processed normally full-term and kept at 62-65%rh were super fluffy and uneven comparatively, also much stickier on the outside but probably cuz they got to go all the way.
I think its just a lot of the shitty features of todays market coalescing, bud PGR'd to absurd levels, nugs dried too much, Packs being vacsealed and jammed as many as possible at a time for TP, flower from old harvests sitting around etc... and of course the plants being bred towards a certain nug structure, rounded tops, dense wide flowers.

A lot of the street bud in the uk is pgrd. The dealers round my way dont even smoke. If they did they wouldnt buy the shit in the first place.
Bud that any grower knows is unnaturally dense, weirdly hairy with fewer trichomes than there should be.
You don't want to smoke that shit.
Nerve pain, toothache, stomach upsets, muscle spasms, irritability and flu like feelings.
Hardly what i call medicine.
Why i've moved to Morrocan hash until harvest.
