Much appreciated VTM :weed:

While I agree with most of what you say, some of the pathways of cannabinoid formation you mention are incorrect. THCA (THC acids as you put it) is not formed from CBDA. THCA is formed from CBGA, CBDA is also formed from CBGA, as is CBCA. CBGA (Cannabigerolic acid) is the precursor to most other...

Books and publications costs money. I corrected your assumption that the change of cloudy to amber is when THC degrades into CBN. There is no scientific evidence that this is exactly when it happens, we simply don't know. Don't try to make it seem as if I contradicted myself, you are taking...

In essence, yes. A lot of people believe unsubstantiated things. The numbers who believe or don't believe something speaks nothing to the truth of the matter. Oh the differences are the ratios? Well that explains everything. No mystery chemicals? Who mentioned mystery chemicals? This is...

I just watched a bit more of the video and he went on to say that the weak interaction between the receptors and the CBN accounts for the sleepy effect. Which is utter nonsense. The weak interaction accounts for the reduction in psychoactivity. The reason why CBN is less psychoactive than THC...

Posting links to youtube videos and/or googling results for a well known, repeated incorrect theory doesn't prove anything. I know a lot of people think the couch lock stone is from CBN, it doesn't make it correct though. A lot of people also think that flushing is needed to "get nutrients out...

I haven't heard about sclabs before but I can tell already by the statement of "CBN is psychoactive and it's what gives most the sedative effect" that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Most cannabinoids have a sedative effect, the main contributor of the sedative effect is not CBN, it's...

CBN does not produce the couch-lock high. CBN produces a sickly ill feeling and it represents a loss of potency of 90-260%. Every plant should be grown to maximum cloudy trichomes while minimizing clear and amber trichomes. Clear, because they contain pre-cursor cannabinoids. Amber, because...

This thread makes no sense. OP says he's in it for the money but then he says he wants a speed dry, which basically equals a shite result. If you want to ruin the weed, then sure, do a speed dry. If you want some money for the weed, don't ruin it.

Pretty damn cool site, this is one of the drawings I made: http://new.weavesilk.com/?jvqk

Okay but you will need bigger holes. It's the reason why most people hang it on drying lines or don't use a box but just string. The RH is way too high in that box if it's in the mid 80s. Mold can easily develop, you should be really careful. You want around 45-55% RH in a drying room. If you...

You shouldn't grow or dry weed near any mold. And you shouldn't have a fan blowing directly on the weed while drying, it should just be used to circulate air. You want to have a nice and stable drying period of at least a weeks time. If you have big problems with high humidity you could get a...

I meant big holes, not drill holes, as in cut out rectangular 4-5 inch long holes on both sides of the box so the air can be moved around in the box. If you have problem with light then use a drying room or set up a drying room, you should never dry near light. You should also have air...

You have to do the cleansing bath right after you've harvested, don't dry the bud first. You should give it at least 5-10 min and then clean up the water surface (or change the water) and then rinse the plants with a hose (light pressure) afterwards. You can do this multiple times and make sure...

That's okay, it might help other people who read it. Actually, making an H2O2 bath for freshly harvested cannabis can be useful to get rid of a lot of stuff. Like powdery mildew and infestations. But it's a lot easier (if we're just talking insect infestation) to spray your plants with a...

A plant will continue to grow and produce new growth. That doesn't have any say in maturity really. That's just how a plant reacts to the light and the variables. If you let it, the plant would keep growing and producing but you would of course lose a lot of potency due to degradation. If you...

Alright, it behaved as I expected then. The learning comes with experience in growing and you seem like a person who pays attention so I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly. Well you did what you could do then, the rest was up the plants really. Yeah I can imagine how the weed must have been back...

It's hard to see clearly but it might be foxtailing, I would base the harvest on the "old" growth not the new growth. So I still think you're near harvest, especially with the infestation problems. But that doesn't mean that you cannot take the plant another 1-2 weeks if it's reacting well to...

You're welcome :weed: It depends on how you handle the weed. If you have control over the variables and carry out a proper dry & cure you won't see a significant change, but you will see some change (again, depending on the variables). The variables which can highly affect the outcome are...

I think the size is rather good for a first grower and for a plant which has had infestation problems. It's not big calyxes really but it probably because of the conditions, the infestation and possibly the strain as well. Huge calyxes comes with experience and perfection of variables. I...
