indeed magenta is the way to go if your lookin for budding power in a standalone, if you want to start adding more h150's on top of a single i would suggest adding a single red with a single magenta with a single purple, since you dont need too much blue it sounds like. If you do a long veg time id suggest swapping a blue booster for purple instead like canna said. I wouldnt because my veg is max 1 month and thats WAY long for me usually its only 1-2 weeks if that unless im in the waterfarm.

i like that,i like to veg for a very short time also.so im thinking magenta is the way to go.

hey have you guys heard of decarboxlation?im still not too sure on what it does exactly,got any info?theres a club in socal that will do it to your buds,do they just heat it up a little?

this is the best explanation i have ever found about it. it is necessary to do when ingesting weed without vaopizing or burning it such as in a tincture but if you are going to smoke it there is no need sounds like a marketing tactic. here the explanation:
This converts THCA to THC via a decarboxylation reaction.
In whole-plant cannabis, THC content is expressed as THCA (tetrahydrocannabolic acid) prior to decarboxylation into THC, which takes place when cannabis is heated during cooking, and smoked or vaporized ingestion. THCA is a mild analgesic and anti-inflammatory but does not have good affinity with our CB1 receptors, so in order to make a THC-rich tincture that has many of the same therapeutic effects as smoked ingestion (including rapid absorption, quick relief and ease of self-titration), we must convert the THCA in the plant matter into THC prior to extracting it through an alcohol soak. (from Vancouver Island Compassion Society http://thevics.com/cannamist.htm)
THC vaporizes at about 380°F. We want to heat the cannabis to convert THCA to THC, but keep the temperature under 380°F. That is why 325°F is used. Between four and five minutes your oven (and house) will start to smell very strong. This is the time to remove the cannabis from the oven.

Notice also that there is considerable misinformation regarding heating the cannabis. It is true that you don't have to heat it to extract both THC and THCA, but the amount of THC in whole plant preparations is relatively small compared to after decarboxylation of the THCA.

well that answers my question as to why you just can't pluck buds and eatem like fruits :shock: very cool. but lets say i wanted THCa just as it is, i would just clip it and soak it in alcohol for a few weeks?

Interesting that they say it is more thc rich once decarbed ... When our bodies metabolize it no change occures to thca or is it absorbed osmotically thru mouth and stomach lining thus bypassing metolization / enzyme reactions in the stomach ... That is a great response makes mine seem dismissive and silly good research..
