Black and white shows shape and definition, much more clearly than color. I've been growing quality cannabis for 8+ years. I too once though what you posted was good. I've been growing for 15+ years now.
People are ignorant. Harsh, but true. They're especially ignorant about cannabis quality, since 90%+ have never experienced it before. I've been using cannabis for 30+ years, and have only come across the quality I now grow once before. That cannabis is why I grow the way I do now.
Had I never experienced it, I'd still be growing the crap I was growing back then. Crap which was better than any of the other crap the dispensaries and other growers were producing.
Seriously, if you've never come across cannabis which punches you in the face with aroma, you have zero clue what you're missing. When that aroma is accompanied by the same intensely complex (and delicious) flavors (no earthy overtones muddling things up), you're getting there. When the smoke is so cool and soft you have difficulty believing you've taken a full toke, you're in the right park. When the flavor and aroma only gradually fades as you reach the last hit in the bowl, you know it was grown with superior attention. When the potency and complexity of the terpene and cannabinoid profile hit you, you KNOW you've finally experienced truly clean and well grown cannabis.
$6 a gram wholesale? Pfffft! You'd pay more for mine, I just don't sell it. ;) Yes, I know exactly what I'm talking about. Do you? :D
