hahahahahahahahaha your the shit man.........

Wham bam thank you ma'am is my 'dating life.'

You do realize why guys like me will pay for an 'escort' rather than date and have a relationship, don't you?

It's not for the sex .... it's so they will LEAVE right after sex.

how expensive ?
If that was directed at me and my form of 'dating,' it depends on the girl and if it is incall or outcall, and various other things too. If you become something of a regular and tip well and treat them well, a dinner 'date' along with the rest now and then you can build something of a rapport with some and for a bit more they will come to your home, they may spend the whole night if you wish or a weekend if you wish. Nothing is for free but if a regular and you treat them well some will give you a break on some things.

An example of a first time visit could be .. one hour incall .... around $250.00 to $400.00 depending on the girl. An hour of outcall ... around $350.00 to $500.00, again depending on the girl and if you want anything a particular girl might consider optional, like 'greek.'

If someone has the money and is willing to spend it for the price of a first class plane ticket plus anywhere from about $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 you can have an actual porn star spend a weekend with you, or if you are a high roller you might take her to Vega or on a trip to Europe, but those sort of things would really add up when it comes to money. You have to pay for their time and they will promise to make you really happy later if you purchase them the Gucci purse they spot in a store window as you pass by. They will try to bleed you white but the more they get from you the more they give to you.

I have never even thought about such an experience but one of my friends that is very wealthy has done it a few times and said it cost him an arm and a leg but it was, in his opinion, worth every penny.

When do you think i should harvest these. The pics are from a day or two ago. link : https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/403904-trichomes-two-days-until-harvest.html
While the pictures were pretty good I could only make out one trichome that appeared to be light amber. Wait until you have about 5% light amber and no more than 10% light amber.

Check them daily, maybe even twice a day, and check out the post I left in your thread about a period of darkness before harvesting. Someone had mentioned 48-hours but I gave a little more info about it should be done. If you decide to not give them an extended period of darkness you want to harvest before your lights come on the day you harvest, so if say you check them right before lights out and you feel they are ready, manually turn off your timer or unplug your light(s) and then harvest the following morning or after their normal length period of darkness .. but at least consider the extended period of darkness before harvesting.

I have never grown and auto-flowering strain, and I never will, so I do not know any specifics about them, but in general there will always be some increase in THC levels even if only minor. Considering what people pay for their genetics and all the cash they put into their setup and then what they pay for various fertilizers and additives all to try to squeeze every last bit of potency out of their genetics, then why not also do something that is simple and free, something that only requires that you do nothing but wait 72-hours and that does not cost you a single penny to do?


"The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana (SIMM), the first company to sell marijuana through the pharmacies of Holland, has been investigating the medical possibilities of cannabis, together with TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden.

One of their discoveries has been that to keep the ripe plants in the dark before harvesting could increase their potency.
SIMM’s growers separated a crop of mature plants, harvested half of them and kept the other half in absolute darkness for 72 hours before cutting and drying. Analysis of the resulting dried buds showed that some varieties had seen an increase of THC of up to 30%, while CBD and CBN remained the same."



If you try it and only get say a 2% increase or a 7% increase or an 11% increase of a 15% increase or maybe only a 19% increase rather than a full 30% increase wouldn't it still be worth doing?

I have a sativa that has gone from all clear trichomes to nearly all cloudy, and another sativa next to it in another pot that is still at the all clear trichome stage. Is it possible that as trichomes go from clear to cloudy to amber the plants are still producing some CBD? What I'm saying is that if you harvest when trichomes are mainly clear might you be missing out on the full level of CBD production?

i would like to thank bricktop. i dont expect to be assassinated by a grammar nazi. im not trying to get a distinction. im too cbn'd to write properly. i am happy that my question has been answered. where has that happy high gone, that complex mental rush/ euphoria. brick top just let me know. it degraded into an ugly amber mess. i think some people are threatened by bricktops level of knowledge. maybe because knowledge is power your making them feel weak. i too sleep walked into the 50/50 situation. yield is nothing to me. i can do a miracle with 600w and 1.2m. but qaulity is essential. due to the excellent scientific research that brick top has presented, i think only a fool would shy away from these facts. it doesnt matter what you decide to do. but dont get angry with bricktop for just showing the facts. i personally found it groundbreaking. i was convinced that cbn was the holy grail of cannabinoids. it seems i was mistaken. i like the phrase fake body stone. it makes a lot of sense. it feels more like stupidity. if you want sereous couchlock get some heroin! i wanna get high man.
 
i think i'll take a scientist word over a ex addicts...smh@ that being your reason for saying a study done by ppl with college degrees is bullshit...because you were an addict...sounds like you still are

just read this entire thread and found it to be pretty funny. i have harvested all cloudy with 5% amber before and i did not like it. i usually go for about 20 percent amber and i get a great head and body high that lasts for a long time. i don't understand why brick has to call it a "fake" body buzz... when you tell people that the high that they try to achieve through all of their years of smoking is "fake" you kind of have to expect them to disagree lol.
maybe that is why people actually smoke the stuff in the first place... to achieve that locked feeling and not the short term uppity feeling.
you can't call it a fake high just because it does something for them that you don't like. to each his own.

I like to flush at 10% amber. Even at 10% amber I see quite a few clear trichomes scattered about, so by the end of the flush the amount of amber has doubled and all the clear ones have gone to milk. This gives the best effect (according to everyone who has tried it) for the strain I grow. If it was my first harvest of a new strain, I might take plants at different dates to test for best effect.
