In view of this reality, why do the caucasoids of the world think seedless
marijuana is so great, irrespective of the gene pool or whether the plant
is even parthenocarpic? Harvesting unpollinated marijuana for the
"red hairs" is as stupid as harvesting apple blossoms instead of ripe
apples. It is only five or six weeks AFTER pollination or the
photoperiodic onset of parthenocarpia that the exuded resin spheres on
marijuana, in the presence of the UVB photon, will contain fully
realized THC and become the "ripe apples" to be harvested.
Furthermore, unless the seedless plant's gene pool is the homozygous
Indica as described in Marijuana Optics, a 12:00 hour photoperiod may
result only in the appearance of the two glandular trichomes (bulbous
and capitate-sessile) whose resin spheres contain mostly precursor
cannabinoids and the least amount of THC, even in sunlight. Smell and
taste implement a placebo effect in the "12:00 hour" seedless
hetrozygous bud. This marijuana does not contain any real dope.
The science and personal experience allow me to state as a matter of
fact: "None of the marijuana grown under HID light has any real dope
in it." Why? Because the UVB photon, the sine quo non of THC
production, is blocked out of the light stream by the outer glass bulb of
all HID lights. BY LAW!
In the mid-1980's, the United States Congress passed a law banning the
sale of UVB producing appliances for human use except with a
physician's prescription. Canada also passed this law. Were these laws
passed because of the fear of skin cancer (as was the supposed reason)
or were they more of a "drug war" blow against the indoor marijuana
grower because of the fact that the UVB photon is the sine quo non of
THC production?
So where does the buzz come from in the indoor grow? It's from the
UVA photons that can pass through the outer glass bulb of HID light in
an artificial light environment and through greenhouse coverings. But
the UVA photon cannot energize the phytochemical process enough to
produce fully realized THC. Only the UVB photon can energize the
phytochemical process enough to produce fully realized THC.
The claim that seedless marijuana grown indoors under HID light is
more potent, because of breeding and other honky jive like special
fertilizers and carbon dioxide, than marijuana grown outdoors that has
been pollinated, and has a majority of ripe seeds, is baloney.
Through no fault of their own most of the marijuana farmers in the
indigenous world probably can't read, but that also means they haven't
been hookwinked by the seedless scam. They will use pollination and
then the sun's UVB photons to put THC in the exuded resin spheres of
the capitate-stalked glandular trichome. This method, passed down by
word of mouth and by example for hundreds of years in the indigenous
world where drug-type marijuana is cultivated, will give a harvest of
ripe resin spheres that will have a lot more of the active ingredients in
them, to provide the medical benefit in the smoke, than will a resin
sphere harvest from seedless marijuana grown in an indoor 12:00 hour
photoperiod. Not even parthenocarpic Indica (or any pollinated
marijuana) can do a miracle with this photoperiod and create fully
realized THC when the light stream does not contain any UVB photons.
Because each marijuana gene pool has its own photoperiodic niche in
which parthenocarpia best takes place, one has to experiment with
different photoperiods to find out which one is best for the gene pool
being cultivated. Generally speaking, to force the floral bract into
parthenocarpic development the flowering photoperiod is started with
11:30 hours and then after four weeks or so is reduced to 11:00 hours
where it is kept.
The hippies who went to India in the 60's and brought the homozygous
Indica seeds back to California to grow a "seedless marijuana" like
they found in Nepal, and other nearby places in India, started the
seedless craze. But they had the real goods: long-day parthenocarpic
homozygous Indica. As soon as pollen from male plants is introduced
into any marijuana gene pool, the resulting seeds will probably only
grow females that express short-day parthenocarpy. And that means,
above the Tropic of Cancer, the resin sphere on the capitate-stalked
glandular trichome in that gene pool won't be ripe for harvesting until
late October or mid-November but definitely not in September!
Rome was not built in a day and neither is fully realized THC. One
must remember that it is only five or six weeks AFTER pollination or
the photoperiodic onset of parthenocarpia that the exuded resin
spheres, in the presence of the UVB photon, will contain fully realized
THC and become the kind of "ripe apples" that will give real pain
relief, curtail nausea, provide appetite enhancement, relieve depression,
