Trichomes, cloudy=good, amber=shit

Not if all he does is copy and paste huge amounts of data in the middle of an obscure thread....

Why not start a thread and post it at the top, and give credit to sources, which ya never do.

THC and CBD are both Marijuana compounds that are important to the high. White Widow is high in THC, while New York City Diesel is high in CBD's. Both are considered strong strains, two very different highs. THC alone gives a very stimulated high. CBD's, while not mind altering like THC, regulate how our body interacts with THC that we consume. A plant with more CBD's is less likely to cause panic, anxiety or paranoia.

For a good long look at CBD's and their relationship to THC, look here.... http://ukcia.org/wordpress/?p=50

CBDs aren't bad as some would have you believe.

LMFAO! Thank god.. someone finally confronts this moron.. who thinks he's got the answer to EVERY single question. I've been around here for about 2 years now.. and every time I see the name 'Brick Top', I immediately think "Ah shit, here we go again.. Mr. KnowItAll with the answers to everything."

People, if you want to copy/paste material into the forums.. fine. However, if you do.. please have the courtesy to include where the information came from including the Author (if applicable). Otherwise, it makes you look like an idiot. Makes ya look kinda like Brick Top. To put it nicely..

peace.

Goodie gumdrops .... but if you want to make me happy name your first, or next, kid after me.

Wouldn't it be fun to have a little Brick Top of your own around the house?

how chochy of you.

i could care less if he doesnt provide links, and i dont see anyone else trying to help as much as he does.
You look like an idiot for complaining about it.

I've harvested when all the trichomes are milky, and I've harvested when they're almost all amber, I really didn't like either. I harvest now at about 35% amber 65% milky, Gives you a nice relaxing buzz without feeling jittery or spacey.

Why don't you do yourself a favor and avoid the irritation of seeing any more of my messages by just using the ignore function? If you do that you will no longer be at risk of actually learning something.

I am curious about something. Did you create a sock-puppet account for any particular reason or did you have your original account closed or something? You said you have; "been around here for about 2 years now" but your account says "Stranger" and your join date is; "Join Date 01-20-2011." That's only four days ago.

Do you feel some need to hide your true identity so you created a sock-puppet account to attack me, and possibly others with? Or were you recently booted and you have now sneaked back in?

Is that you Laffy Taffy ... or maybe it's that farm-guy, or are you another of my pet trolls ... or do I now have yet another one to enjoy?

it must be 2-4-1 on Haterade...but seriously, dont hate on people who are just trying to help others. I dont see you contributing anything valid or relevant

 

[masscom25]

yeah for some reason I've run n2 a few dif threads where people were giving BT a hard time but i've never really understood y. IDK if he remembers or not but when I first joined here and hadn't learned my way around the site yet or how to use the tools I PM'd him several times to where I was sure I was annoying him but every time all he did was politely answer my questions in an informative way. Is being helpful a crime? He's not runnin arond pushin his opinion on people hes offering help when it is being solicited. Big difference.

 

[auldone]

This site is a very helpful site. If it were not for Brick Top and many others who offer the knowledge they have collected over their years of trial and error, there would really be no need to come here. I have come across certain peeps who KNOW what they are talking about and it really doesn't take long to figure out who knows their shit on here. I, and a shit load of others, don't care if people give credit when they C&P. It's free info that YOU did not have to take the time to find. Why bitch about that?

My work background is construction. More specific, underground construction. Any time some General Foreman or Superintendent shows up, it usually takes about 2 minutes to figure out if he worked his way up into that position from some piss ant laborer spot or went to some College and read some books on how to "Manage a Construction site" and has a piece of paper saying he read those books. But yet has NEVER been out in the field ass deep in mud ramming a 4" conduit into a concrete vault that is slowly sinking due to the fact that the vault is to heavy and is placed BELOW the water table line. I was a Foreman on a job during that very situation and my Super, who was about 6 months out of College and ordered the heavy (and wrong) vault tells me to "Just add dry dirt."....

Here is my point, I will take 3+ DECADES of hard work and dedication from Brick Top anyday. He wouldn't tell me to "Just add dry dirt"....

This thread was not started about me so how about everyone getting back on topic, that is unless the information that has been provided by those involved has proven the initial statement to be correct and the discussion is finished. If so then let the thread die rather than turn it into an argument about me.

I do not care in the least what anyone here thinks about me, be it either positive or negative, so I see no reason why anyone else should care enough about what someone might think about me to argue about it.

If someone wants to call me a blowhard or a dick why not just send me a PM and lambast me and try to rip me a new one rather than hijacking and mucking up people's threads over some personal thing that is bothering them?

Do they think that by doing it in someone's thread that it will make them look like 'da man' instead of 'da moron?'

It won't.

Why is that something that always needs to be done, to offer proof of the information being credible?

If so then each and every single handwritten message totally lacks any and all credibility since there is nothing whatsoever supporting it, backing it, proving it to be credible, proving it to be accurate, proving it to be factual and all it can ever be accepted as being is the person's personal opinion and personal belief and absolutely nothing more.

That is if you actually believe that citing the information someone posts is needed to prove credibility.

You could try the old ploy of claiming that if someone C&P's something it is because they do not know the information themselves because if they did they would have just written the information in the message themselves. But lacking a link to a credible site and source where what was written can be checked against proven facts there is no proof what was written was in any way accurate or factual, so unless a handwritten message includes a link to a credible site and source it is even less believable, less credible than a C&P piece that was obviously written by someone who knew precisely what they were talking about.

Something I should mention that I had meant to say but never got around to saying is in the end it all comes down to personal preference in a high or stone or combination of each and if someone prefers lower THC levels and higher CBN levels that is totally cool and the gang FOR THEM.

What I was trying to get across is the people who claim that mostly amber or all amber equates to increased potency are wrong and they should not advise other people to harvest the same way they like to.

To say what they get when harvesting late and that they prefer it is totally fine and does no one any harm, but when they incorrectly claim it will get others peak levels of THC and that a crop will be at it's most potent when 35% or 50% or 75% or whatever higher percentage of the trichomes have turned amber it is inaccurate and misleading.

To say it is what they like is one thing, to say it is the best for all growers and for all strains is something totally different.

I have no problem with anyone who likes amber trichomes and the lesser amount of THC and the increased amount of CBN that goes with it in what they grow and smoke, but I do have a problem with anyone who tells others who do not know about cannabinoid development inaccurate information that is solely based on their own personal preference in a high/stone and not at all based in fact.

To each their own, do whatever you like the most, just don't mislead others based on your own personal preferences is all I am saying to those who preach larger percentages of amber equates to increased potency.

i agree..my personal preference is a srtong uplifting high..so im gonna cut all cloudy...thank you bricktop!

This was just discussed in the latest issue of High Times (March 2011). It has turned the harvesting world on its head. 10 - 20 year No Cal growers were religiously harvesting when half of trichomes were cloudy and half were amber. A recent lab study confirmed what Brick mentioned above....that max THC levels are seen when trichomes are cloudy. Amber trichs are indeed signaling decay...just like an over-ripe banana, tomato, etc.

I just hacked into BT's computer, every once in a while he shows emotion:

I like overripe bananas...but not overipe buds..I love this new study!!

 

[ratatoolie]

[theexpress]

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

lol more like if you harvest too early it will be more "crap"

in my persoanl experianxe the more cloudy you leave the shorter lasting the high is./.. it just dont linger like some half amber nugget!!! but your a sativa kinda guy anyway so....
