Actually, all of the cannabinoids work together. Strains that have a 1:1 THC/CBD ratio are fabulous for mind/body.

Yeah I was always under the impression the proper term was "Leaching", but I could be wrong?

It's pretty funny your that against flushing. Everything turns brown agriculturally when it becomes nutrient starved. Why smoke nutrient filled buds. Even tree leaves turn brown when the roots go dormant and it eats it's reserves. Common knowledge, why smoke nitrogen filled pot.

That's what I meant by highs and lows but THC has the most psychoactive property.

I mean there is strain as we all know that have a higher ratio CBD than THC, I've grown Harliquinn witch is a great strain for aches and pains but don't barely get you high.

That's why they don't advertise CBD because it hardly gets most people what they want. THC measures potency.

So are you talking about "fading"? Like just tapering off the nitrogen until leaves turn yellow?
That's actually a popular method of growing, but only because many growers are paranoid when it comes to giving their plants nitrogen during flower. The problem with this method is that you lose lots of little solar panels, but the nitrogen levels in buds remains constant. (Nitrogen moves from leaves to buds -- it doesn't get "flushed" out of the plant.)

My definition of flushing is using allot of water or chemicals to leach the medium of salts. Flushing the salts away in essence.

I *love* Harlequin for aches & pains! Smoke a couple extra hits & it'll get ya plenty high. Nice smooth buzz too...

Most of the strongest strains on earth have minut if not any CBD, you can't have it both ways.

I do find it a tad amusing and annoying how some ill informed American growers think that 60s weed was all low THC.

Oh Harli, hell of a producer too. I was pulling 5 plus oz a plant from Harli. Definitely a different hi, like u said real smooth.

That makes sense. I guess I don't leach either because it doesn't involve a lot of water & zero chemicals. I just give them the same quantity of liquid -- it just doesn't have any nutes. The goal is for the plant to use whatever it's got left in the soil -- which shouldn't be much, unless I screwed up.

Go look it up. I just seen it a couple weeks ago. 5% thc was the strongest pot u could get in 1995.

So. Thc by itself would be nothing. Its why the thc pills patented by the government are shit.
Studies on cannabis are limited and recent studies show more than thc to be psychoactive.
What part of all of the cannabinoids working together do you not understand.
You sound like this other new member that said the same thing.
Said new pot was better. Thc was the end all. Even said there was no difference in the buzz of a sativa and indica. It was all based on how you felt when you smoked it.
The reason different weed has different buzzes is the different cannabinoid profile.
The whole testing and high thc thing is mostly market gimmick.
Its also part of the whole anti marijuana reffer madness. Oh no's we have to ban the new super pot.
Give me a break. Humans have been using and growing cannabis for thousands of years.

I know right.
If someone had some of the real deal old strains they would be rich.
Yea. One minute claim today's pot is the strongest ever but the next be looking for some panama red or Columbian gold.
He'll not even that far back. Look at the people looking for real road kill or red hair skunk.
Something has been lost in these new polyhybrids. I think breeding for nothing but thc has a lot to do with it.

Admittedly, I don't push as hard as some growers. Indoors or outdoors, my goal is to give them the minimum amount of food they require to remain healthy. I don't try to see how much food they can handle before something bad happens.

i think they just concentrated on what was readily available to them, in America, which was Mexican brick and forgot about the rest of the world or those who actually sourced good pot. Look at the Asian or Afghani strains? High THC and old school legs.
I just popped some Shit x Shit/Skunk. Old skool cool. So many people want the legs of the old school strains.
