    Bud rot and harvesting

    Hello Spanky84, I would always advice you to cure any weed you grow, all weed should to be cured. If you have infected weed (mold, rot, bugs w/e) and you cannot clear out the contamination then I would discard whatever is already beyond saving, if you on the other hand can remove the infection...

    Mold growing on bud in jar, any recovery?

    As several people have already said; it's not worth smoking anything which has been in contact with mold. The health-risk is just not worth it. I would agree with Kagecog and make oil out of it, if you were to use Isopropyl alcohol for example you would eliminate any carry on effect from the...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I know that Cannabis contains mostly THCa with a fraction of THC, that was my entire point, why is the author not making the distinction? Decarboxylation is an entirely different issue but it's an important distinction to make, knowing the metabolic chain is crucial to this discussion. You see...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I'd prefer if you'd make your own thread but what am I to say at this point, this thread was meant to be a sticky about how to distinguish optimal harvesting signs but a lot of people have posted here with pictures looking for help, it would take a while to clean up.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    First of all I never said that clear trichomes only contain precursor cannabinoids. I suggest you check out the entire post, I also posted visual aids. I haven't read the article so I can't commentate on the references and science used in it. It worries me that they are not distinguishing...

    Is this curing?

    To answer it in a simple way; No it isn't curing. I won't go into how you cure weed since that has been covered several times on this forum, including in a sticky in this very sub-forum. By curing we understand that we control the RH inside a container, we allow the properly dried product to...

    Looking good, hopefully you got the drying & curing department controlled as well.

    Quick drying for making oil

    Generally BHO is preferred over ISO (I personally prefer ISO because of the ease of the method itself and because BHO isn't very easy to come by where I live, at least not proper quality BHO) because it 'unties' a lot less material than ISO does.. This is due to the polarity difference between...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Have you looked closely at the trichomes (with a loupe or microscope) on several different calyxes (different branches as well perhaps)? The plants look very nice, the colours are vibrant and the plants look very healthy. The only stipulation I would have is that from some of the pictures I...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    I am not downplaying anything. You claimed that CBD has sedative properties and you quoted a magazine article written by some journalist as your "proof". I provided TWO peer reviewed scientific studies. If anyone has any doubts which they should trust then I wouldn't even want to waste my time...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting any of this on you, you asked a simple question and I gave you a simple answer. Now you have a much fuller and detailed answer, now that I have had to pick apart Sativieds arguments and prove how false they are. I hope you got the answer you were looking for...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Part 2/2: Now you are just assuming stuff to continue your tirade. You know why I said purely and you are just reading too much into it thinking you have caught me in the act of misunderstanding the intricate processes and interactions, you also think I am at fault for not including...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Part 1/2: I will try to make this response as respectful as I can but I am finding it very hard to do so. Given that you have a severe misunderstanding of what you are talking about, but you are writing as if you have complete knowledge. I will have to reply in two messages as I cannot fit my...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    First off let me start by saying that we do not know everything about the interaction between cannabinoids nor everything about how they individually produce and/or alter psychoactive effects on our bodies. But we do know a fair amount about a certain number of cannabinoids. He was asking about...

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    It's hard to make an informed decision without seeing the entire plant as well but I would say you aren't far off, the only stipulation I have is that the calyxes don't seem very swollen.

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    It's a common misconception that amber trichs are responsible for the 'couch lock' high. In fact it's the phenotype which determines the type of high you get (speaking energetic vs couch lock). I wrote about this on the first page of this thread if I recall correctly so I won't repeat myself.

    Hello OneloveGrower, the pH range is ~5.6-6.2 with 5.8 being the sweetspot. @ 5.8 pH all nutrients can be absorbed and thus keeping that level throughout a grow is optimal.
