Darkness before harvest?

Touching buds and grinding buds just throws away lots of those THC-bearing trichomes that I want to save for vaporizing.

Hi,
I also vaporize because I can't smoke anymore.
You say that you're not grinding your bud ; does that mean that you use small chunks in the combustion room ?
If that's so, are you not loosing some of it ?

I agree 100% with briteleaf, I never grind my flowers and touch them as little as possible. As long as hot air can pass through the flower material in your vaporizer it’s gonna get the good stuff. The only thing breaking it down will do is make your vapor a little denser, but it will not give you any better extraction and you will lose a lot of trichs and terps while grinding.

this is off topic, sorry OP

happy growing!
