so essentially you are saying the "couch-lock, narcotic" type of stone is not a stone at all? im kind of confused now.50% amber means a lot of THC has degraded and become CBN, which is only mildly psychoactive and causes confusion, and drowsiness, not a true high or a true stone.
But what the heck, go for whatever floats your boat, even if that is substantially decreased potency.
So what your saying Brick is that if you see any amber trichs then you should harvest?...that is if you want a more up than couch lock?50% amber means a lot of THC has degraded and become CBN, which is only mildly psychoactive and causes confusion, and drowsiness, not a true high or a true stone.

Thanks! Thats simple enough. I'm a operational toker so sounds like peak thc is my persnal tasts. Thanks again
If someone wants more couchlock they should purchase a strain or strains that will give them that when harvested at peak potency rather than attempting to alter the stone a strain's genetics will give by harvesting late. Throwing away THC by intentionally allowing it to oxidize and become CBN so there is less of a high and there is increased drowsiness and confusion is not the way to get a real true stone. If a strain does not supply someone with enough of a stone when harvested at peak potency, then the person picked the wrong strain to grow.
^^^ this. The more amber there is the less potent the final product. There is a really good article in the november issue of high times with pics that explains exactly this, in more detail.
totally agreed and Im sure brick top gets tired of repeating himself
He's not the only one I'm sure.
I think what he's saying is that if they're all cloudy when you harvest and the effect is too "light" then you should pick a different strain that gives what your looking for instead of harvesting late. Not trying to be an ass so sorry if it seems that way I just think this is the best lesson that could be learned about when to harvest. But again...it's all a matter of personal preference.
