I was asking myself the same question at one point, did some research and the highest amount of THC is in the trichomes. Plus THC is used for Ultraviolet light and herbivore protection (doesnt work for deterring humans :P) so if you think of a nice fat bud, the bits which need the UV protection is the tips of the small buds. However, on an indica plant, the tips would be exposed where the sides of the buds are squashed onto others in the dense kola. On a sativa they would be widespread getting UV on the sides.

I would say, it depends on a lot of factors, most importantly how many trichomes you can see on a bud.. But generally, my bet would be to smoke the tips of the frostiest buds on a plant. Also they pick the tips of a tea plant for high quality tea :)

So how the hell dose the thc go up the bud when you hang it upside down to dry?

Thats like saying my eyeballs will go to my feet if you hang me upside down.

1. When you chop her she aint growing no more thc

2. The trichomes are locked into where the grow they cant move around.

Ill actually answer the dudes question:

The plant should be equal in THC all over the place in the flower... the calyxes probably contain the most thc of the actual bud structure.. from the calyxes grow the pistils, or 'hairs'... the calyxes, and most of the bud are covered in trichomes, which contain many different cannabinoids. Including THC. Most of the cannabinoids play psychoactive roles.. infact they think CBN is responsible for most medicinal properties of cannabis.. so don't think JUST THC when you think weed.

Anyway most of the THC is in the trichomes, which grow on the buds, and a little bit onto the leaves... the trichomes serve to protect the plant from drying out, or being radiated with certain uv rays.. think sunblock ;)

So THC pretty much exists in TRACE amounts in the regular plant matter (stems/leaves).. it exists MORESO in the actual calyx matter, and exists MOST in the trichomes (crystals) / resin.

THC does not slide down the inside, or outside of a plant with gravity.. its in there, and on there.

If you smoke the WHOLE bud you get all the THC...........OR tape a piece of string to your ceiling..........tie a bud to it upside down just above a cigerette and let the THC drip on the cig and take it to work for your smoke break.....................I have land for sale too.

this is why I grind bud, so the cannabinoids is distributed evenly among the surface area....

Good shit on taking the time to give him an explanation verde!

I dont know if its because i grew up in a country area and had to take agriculture all through out middle school and that just made anything plant related all just common sense to me or what, but i've never understood why people assumed weed is like a half drunken two litre and if you hold it upside down all the stuff on the inside is just gonna run to the bottom.
