You guys have fun at the Cup. I have work this weekend =(
Does anyone know the potency/degradation from light and age for THC and CBD? I have some older stuff and I was wondering if I could process it into butter or oil (topical use). Thanks

not entirely true. It will never fully decarb without proper heat. It is true that aged bud that has been exposed to light and heat will be way more psychoactive than fresh stuff.

what do you think curing does. Decarboxylation is the whole point of curing. The exchange of gases and thca and thcv converting to THC and cbn's converting to THC. The exchange of co2 and depletion of chlorophyll

Are any of you all planning on meeting up anywhere tomorrow? I know to look for the top hat to find Mohican.

Also, does anyone want any clones?

dude. cool dark place in a jar is not going to decarb it fully. Ive eaten raw 6month old bud and NOT got high. Only after its in the oven for 40min is it active for eating. LOTS of information on it HY.

Sure.. some decarb happens in the cure. but not really enough to make it psychoactive on its own. even after a very long time in the jar significant molecular change happens with heat and or light. What we consider curing off-gases chlorophyll etc.. but does not really do much to "activate" the bud.

This is why sun cured stuff will get you ripped.. yet in quite a different way than cool dark curing. The tendency is for heat light cured bud to be way more sedative as it has broke down much more.

What you are saying here is really messing with me. Is this why is can get more ripped on premature quick dry than some full run batches? I always thought it had to do with he amount of moisture left in the bud, that drying it more was making it more potent.
I have a harvest coming up soon, how would I test this out? Is there a trick like when to harvest it or something? % amber?

Excellent answer SG...all i can add is the two cookie analogy. Make two batches exactly the same but decarb one and not the other -even 2 year old trim- the decarbed cookie will be way stronger

premature resin will make you fly really high in the head. longer you let it go the more sedative and body it becomes. Likely it was the zippy nature of clear trichomes that you like. When you pull can definitely influence high. Give it a try. pull some when you first see the calyx close around the hairs. Then pull some two weeks after that. Go through the same dry cure process just pull at two different times. Then.. have yourself a smoke test.. :-)
