Blends?

Wondering if anyone has anything to share on making blends of different weed? What works well, what doesn't, how do you choose what to blend, etc. I've done a few mostly aimed at blending something that hits nicely but does not have a great taste with something that tastes amazing. Sometimes it is more ad-hoc, finishing up the last bits of a few strains. Last night I did a 50/50 with a sativa hybrid and an indica hybrid, neither of which was all that amazing. I soared for hours after that which piqued my curiosity.

I always use my Reload and since i don't save my ABV i fill all three containers with three different strains for on the go.
When running low i make a blend in the bottom pot with the leftovers before i refill.
That blend gets used up first usually but sometimes i just keep topping it with new strain leftovers to make my "mix of the week"...
:tup:
Usually have a couple of strains at hand so i do like to mix things up now and then.

Given the time of the year nowadays i tend to pregrind one or two "old strains" (one or two years in the jar) and one "new, fresh strain" (still curing atm) to fill the Reload. That's how i noticed that blending older and fresher weed together can be really nice: both in flavor and effects.
It's also a way to add a bit of schwung to older weed!

That made me try "single strain blends" where i make a mixture of 1 (or 2) year old buds with freshly cured buds from the same strain.
Lately i really enjoy vaping these single strain blends, gives me a very balanced high/stone and a very round, full flavor.
Fresh and terpy Zing at first, followed by a nicely aged smoothness that lingers in the mouth and on the lips!!
Really brings out the full flavor spectrum of a specific strain flavor profile imo.
Also allows to cater the effects slightly simply by changing the amount of cured versus fresh herb.

Had some truely amazing "Banana x Banana" bowls the other day where i mixed 1 year old Banana with 1 month old Banana...
The flavor was out of this world!!
And so was i!!
:smug:

That’s a really interesting idea with blending the old and new versions of the same strain! I’ve never tried that before.

That is very interesting about the old and new versions of the same strain. I'd not considered that before. Thank you!

@withoutbliss this is the second time today I noticed you paraphrase a post directly above yours... The weed your vaping must be pretty darn good! :lol:
