It is a fact that light degrades THC and it is a fact that a period of darkness increases levels of THC.
Pardon my insubordinate tone, but BULLSHIT!!!
Just claiming that something is a fact does not make it so
The result is high levels of THC, of course within the genetic framework of each strain, but if each night was only as long as 12 hours the level of THC would not be as high as it is when the nights have progressively grown longer and longer as the growing season winds down.
Wait what?
If you had claimed that outdoor marijuana is of higher quality because the sun has a wider spectrum of colour than artificial light I might be inclined to believe you. But by your logic, if i gradually shorten my lights on time indoors then my plants will produce more THC. You can write it off as indoor lights not being as powerful if you like, but i think that you're committing your own crime and
...The problem is that you attempt to think for yourself by guessing what may be a cause and effect instead of taking the word of experts
So by your "expert" logic, If i was to give plants 72 hours of light before harvesting it would significantly degrade the quality of my bud?
What about if i was to finish my plants using low wattage cfls? Would that increase the quality of my final product?
If you do not believe that light degrades THC why is it best to harvest before first light? It is because that is when THC levels will be at their peak.
Again, you just did it again.
All the outdoor growers I know harvest at night because its dark out and easier to be concealed.
Listen, I know that you're an old man and that your family owns a nursery or something. But that doesn't make you right all the time.
Experience is useless if you refuse to be wrong.
If you do not believe that light rays degrade THC why does any expert and competent grower say dry and cure your harvest out of the light? It is because once harvested the plant can no longer replenish lost THC so any light will degrade THC and is lost forever.
Lost forever??? OH the humanity!!!
I can agree with you that extended periods of light will significantly change the cannabinoid profile. But saying degrade implies that every cannabinoid that THC is a precursor to is not as desireable.
Most brazillian (and many thai, cambodian, vietnamese etc.) growers will hang their bud in the sun to dry it. This may be something you disagree with. But the result being a fuller pallate of psychoactive agents that will make for a different (some would say more complete) high.
You speak in absolutes, like noone is ever going to learn another thing about cannabis after you have said your piece. Why the chip on your shoulder?
Wouldnt it be more satisfying to be helpful and nice than just to lurk around telling everbody they're wrong?
Pardon me if i'm completely out of line here, but i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks your shit stinks just the same as anyone elses.
Again, not trying to be a dick, but someone needs to play devils advocate or everything you say will be taken for gospel. And noone, and i mean NOBODY, knows it all.
