Trichomes, cloudy=good, amber=shit

[BudmanTX]

Ummm....You never know! They have found seeds buried with mummies in tombs that are thousands of years old....and they sprouted! If you have a lot of seeds, it very well might be possible to bring a couple back -no kidding! They might be slow to grow for the first generation...but might gain vitality with subsequent generations. If I were you, then I'd be absolutely going nuts to try and see what happens!

yeah, that's what happens every time I get a bag of seed from someone. I'll ask them where did you aquire all these, they would always say, I got them over time, here. That right there give me the giggles cause no matter what I put in that pot, its gonna be interesting and fun, most of all its gonna be a learning experience

I have only ever grown 1 seed that had some kind of claimed ID. I can grow any weed nice with enough love. Sure, you get the odd popcorn phenos, but even they can make nice smoke if cared for.
Growing sativas with super long flower periods I am always impatient, but personally, like to wait until the flowers have red beards. Here in Africa, where the native growers, have done so for ages without the internet, so branding was never really a thing. You might occasionally hear someone has cheese, but it is mostly just claimed, all the good stuff is supposedly just chronic or cheese. I think it is the only names they know. But ask the older guys for red beard, and you'd likely get some nice Durban poison with a nice orange glow on those beards.

I don't even mind -non sensimila, even though I only grow straight girls myself.

Just like a tomato pick the first top buds @ cloudy heads,wait 10 days and pick another section(these will have more of a mixed color)do this into the cold season and compare your favorite smoke,as well as increase your yield bye 40%

Is this true? I was thinking of chopping my tops and lowering my lights but thought maybe it would stunt the plant growth in lower buds.

I used this method on my outdoor crop,the growth rate there is super fast and the plant just keeps on putting out buds.
I find on my indoor plants maybe this is not the case...I cut only 1 time here,the lowers are pretty shitty in my experience

I ended up chopping the tops and the bottom buds went crazy. Its been a little over a week and id say I got an extra 8th at the very least.

CBD is what gives a true body stone, a true couch-lock stone. Since CBD has almost been totally bred out of modern strains smokers who like couch-lock have had to resort to giving up THC, throwing away THC, intentionally allowing the level of THC to drop as it oxidizes and become CBN so they can get a fake body stone from it, a false couch-lock stone from it. That is what amber trichomes actually mean. Amber is a sign of oxidized THC, THC that has been lost and transformed into a substance that is only mildly psychoactive.

Most couch-lock lovers refuse to accept and believe that fact, but nonetheless, it is a fact.



CANNABIDIOL (CBD)

Cannabidiol is nonpsychoactive and was initially thought to have no effect on the psycho activity of THC. Recent evidence however show that smokers of cannabis are less likely to experience schizophrenia-like symptoms if there is a higher CBD to THC ratio. Experiments show that participants experienced less intense psychotic effects when intravenous THC was co-administered with CBD. It has been hypothesized that CBD acts as an allosteric antagonist at the CB1 receptor and thus alters the psychoactive effects of THC, resulting in a more easily manageable high.

CBD is generally considered to have more medicinal properties than THC. It appears to relieve convulsion, inflammation (and thereby also migraines), anxiety and nausea. That is why strains with a high concentration of CBD is suitable for medicinal use.

Although CBD has its own particular medicinal value it is not more important than THC when it comes to treating various afflictions. It is the interaction between the two that gives rise to the effect that sometimes alleviates the symptoms of various medical conditions.

CBD has a greater affinity for the CB2 receptor than for the CB1 receptor, meaning that its effect is mostly in the body and not so much in the head. CBD shares a precursor with THC and is the main cannabinoid in low-THC cannabis strains like hemp.

Landrace strains, usually of indica heritage, contain higher concentrations of CBD than recreational drug strains, which are usually bred towards a higher concentration of THC. This is the reason why strains containing high ratios of CBD can be difficult to find.



TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (THC)

Tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), is the primary psychoactive component found in the cannabis plant. It was first isolated by Raphael Mechoulam, Yechiel Gaoni, and Habib Edery from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, in 1964.

This is the main compound that gives rise to the high that is tightly linked with the cannabis plant. It affects several areas of the brain simultaneously and can therefore give rise to an assortment of experiences, ranging from altered perception of time and the self, to feelings of euphoria and relaxation all through the body.


Medically, it appears to be analgetic, meaning that it is capable of alleviating even severe pain. It is also known to be neuroprotective, which rules out the possibility of brain damage, which was initially proposed to follow from heavy use of the plant. It has approximately equal affinity for the CB1 and CB2 receptors. By binding to CB1 receptors (the ones in brain) it produces the high that we are so familiar with. That is why the effects of THC is more cerebral, than the effect of CBD, which seems to have a greater affinity for the CB2 receptor.

CANNABINOL (CBN)

Cannabinol is the primary degradation product of THC and increases in concentration with plant age. The concentration of this product in the bud is heavily dependent on the time of harvest. Harvesting the bud at a late stage also means that the concentration of CBN in relation to THC will be higher when compared to the peak of THC production.

CBN content increases as THC degrades. It is only mildly psychoactive and can cause "fuzzy head", drowsiness, disorientation and sleepiness in the smoker, properties that can be considered unpleasant in nature compared to the clear high of the THC. Its affinity to the CB2 receptors is higher than for the CB1 receptor, meaning that it mostly affects the body.

The longer you leave it the stonier the effect, if you harvest it too early it will be more "uplifting".

No this is a lie put out by the industry that hates growing Sativas. Sativas now equate to weed lite in the legal market, because they are nothing more than premature indica hybrids. So weed that doesn't do its genetic duty (indica, sleepy) is sold as 'uplifting'.

All nonsense put out by the seed manipulators to sell "7-8 week" bastard of a thousand maniac premie strains that only look mature.

Clear vs Cloudy vs amber, I've only noticed the terps changing. How can you go by color, everything you do effect the colors of the plant.

 

[danjac82]

i know im pretty late, but its the best thread i ever read.

Bricktop you are a cannabis genius, and you completely redefine the way i will harvest my weed in the future.

In fact, i join this forum only to thanks you a bunch I got 3 big plants right now, with 95/5% cloudy/amber. I will harvest tm morning.

Sounds like you were just looking for an excuse to chop early.

 

[RunningAmok]

Agree with BrickTop's assesment about trichs...Most on this site will baaa..baaa...just like sheep repeating the Amber trichomes mantra...most dont know anything other than what they regurgitate from others.. Mostly amber trichs will egt you "dumb" weed with that messed up feeling not a good "High" feeling

I like that feeling shit head!

THC BIOSYNTHESIS

Brick Top, OK, I'll give it a shot, I've got a plant with cloudy trichomes "Northern Lights Auto" 6' 3" height, that I'll harvest today, 11 weeks from seed. I get the feeling the seed sellers are pimping the plant heights on the short side, also I grow organic outdoors in soil, not potted.

And also old info that has been proven wrong. CBD doesent make you couch locked, on the contrary it will clear up your head and make it easier to get off the couch. Its CBN that makes the couch lock thing, not CBD. CBD only removes the psychedelic effects of THC and thus weakening the high. It does relax the body, but its not a couch lock, but more like relaxed that doesent take away the energy to move like CBN does in combination with THC.

Finally someone clears this up!
