What makes some bud bad quality?

Hey all,
The other day I got sum bud from my buddy for free and when I took a nice look at it I noticed it was really crappy. it was all brital and dry and stuff along the lines of that.
So it got me to thinking what makes some weed better then other?
I know the strain has many factors in good weed but what else dose?

dry weeds crap anyway , and strain has everything to do with how good it is.

I would say proper curing makes a BIG DIFFERENCE!!!

Sometimes people harvest early, when it needs another couple weeks to mature. So it is really green, not ripe.
Producers press the stuff into tight litle blocks, which prevents even drying.
Sometimes it is not flushed for a few days at the end of the grow cycle, to get rid of the chemical taste.

Alot of it has to do with genectics. That and the way you dry and cure it. It's a slow process but it pays off in the long run

There is no good weed around anymore. Atleast not in Northern Cali. All the crap people try to sell me is bunk. Definetly not worth 50 an 8th. It seems everybody is to concerned in quantity than quality. Its either not dry enough or not cured right. Thats why I grow my own. This coment doesnt apply to the clubs of course.

theirs alot of good weed in SOUTHERN Cali.......

Cali grows the BEST weed...
shit i dont even buy off connects i goto the medical shops and they have every strain you can think of! its like heaven when i got there! lol

i think its if you let your females get pollinated. and the plat puts more energy into the seeds then the bud itself. also letting it grow too long or a lot of stress on the plant.
curing has a LOT to do with it too.

Thanks guys !
and no your wrong CANADA grows the best

cougar come to houston the weeds not the best in the world but it gets me flyin you can get an ounce here for 40-50 and qps for 100-120 and ps for 300-350
