Are there really strains with 30% thc?

Yea, I got a pm about you yesterday. I was told to take the blinders off about you.

I told them if they have a problem with you, take it up with you.

You have never tried to sell me something or send me to your site.

Wow nice. Shit, people are rude. I didn't even know there is a site until this* thread so it's hardly being rammed down anybody's throat. I have read the book though and, of the few grow guides I've read, the others by big names in the industry, it's my favourite. That's not to say I use his more unconventional methods but the science seems to make sense to my limited understanding and I like Rm3. Surely I would have been a prime candidate, after enjoying the book as an unsuspecting noob, to have been conned by it all, if that's what was happening?

*Wrong thread, it was another thread I found out about the seed site but my point is the same :peace:

You still don't get the part that they are cut early.


Dude, most good sativa strains and mex seed take 16+ weeks of flower, some 20-24+. Not many have the patience for it.

Most pot is junk. Only concern on breeders minds is increasing THC and shortening flower time.

@qwizoking care to weigh in on Mexican genetics?

That's because they grow at the equator where they have an insanely long growing season, pretty much never have to stop growing in mexico, they are not good for indoor grows, very hard to get to finish without TONS of light(the sun is a lot stronger at the equator so these plants love light and heat), I got 1 good plant out of a bunch of seeds when I was a novice unfortunately this was before I even knew what cloning was so that plant got smoked , had a great fruity smell, shorter stature, not the frostiest but could have been used for breeding purposes.

I grew a Moonshine Haze last year that tasted amazing (its a Neville's Haze cross [ I think that's Mexican]) it was HUGE and flowered for like 14+ weeks one pheno took 16 weeks and I cut it early and it still was fire.

That bud is a completely uplifting, energetic, trippy high with zero couch lock

Spent years tryin to teach the truth about amber trics but folks just hang on to the nonsense. pretty much if it don't make early amber it gets cut in my garden LOL

if ya got a minute, perhaps read this, the free chapter from my 2nd book,,,,

I go to about 10-20% amber with most of my trics cloudy, more uplifting in my opinion.

I mainly grow only uplifting buds, I am a sativa fan myself, I like the indica structures but the sativa flavor and high makes me love it every time.

There is a good phenotype in every landrace! Back in the 70's-80's is all about who you know!
Im also going to agree with too much THC causes an unnatural shitty high that cant even make me sleep when i need to. When i have friends over that smoke my flowers, sometimes i find those bastards passed out in my living room and thats what i call "stoned". I grow to prevent my insomnia and i feel if it can't help me sleep then its useless to me.

The beauty of cannabis overdose is it simply makes you sleep, when it's time for bed I simply smoke too much, take 20 to 30 minute ride and then simply pass out. Been doin it for years with the same strain every night. only takes a joint and half to be too much

Tbh a joint takes too long for me lmao, i have this trusty method of pulling a gram one time out of my bong and I'll just Immediately melt off into bed :hump:. I work 55 hours a week so i dont fuck around with sleep lmao. I prefer joints when i have time though, taste better!

You're a Sativa fan that doesn't know about early translucent amber trics ?

Hell I get em on babies, the earlier the better

My tangie got trics in veg, they obviously are super amber by end of flower but that's because they are on the fan leaf. I read you said you use UV light, you are probably frying your trics with that, I been using UV light for a couple years, you gotta be careful with it, you will amber your plant quick with over exposure.

They do good further north to. I've grown plenty of 16+ week strains here.

If you grow them a few years in a row and breed them they will acclimate and finish a little faster.

I've seen many a 20 foot sativa growing here.

I have heard of a couple strains reaching 30% thc or slightly higher. Is this true or the growers just make it up?

Here is a link:

I will say when I was new to town I drove like an hour to pick up some Pink Lady that was rated at 30% thc.

I've since seen some SFV Headband and Golden Goat testing at and around 30%

The Golden Goat I had was rated at 30% delta8 thc though, not delta9 thc like most strains.

I've definitely seen it.
It's not going to be the whole crop or the whole plant,
It will be the best buds on the best plants most likely. Still strain specific.


Strangely for me, plain old Kosher kush at like 21% thc has just hte right flavor and punch, often way more high than a 'stronger' rated bud.

Terpenes are a HUGE part of the effects of weed and it's stone. They are almost more important than the thc content.

Chernobyl is allegedly a 30% + strain and it has only ever reached around 18% thc in tests at my grow.

I think though that it might because they are not pampering it or giving it the correct length of flowering time.

Large grows are not smart about strain specific care and are also impatient on harvest times.
I think most potent strains from dispensaries get cut tooo early to reach their potential

But you do use 10,000 K bulbs in your set up as I remember. Those give off uva, might want to wear shades in the grow room. I will just turn it off when working in my tent.

You guys chasing "30%". A given strain will test higher if cut prematurely, but won't offer as complex of a high as something that is properly grown/matured. Don't worry about the THC, there's more to it than that.

@RM3 Looking back at my posts, they might be misconstrued as attacks against you, your style, or your product. It's none of that, I was just spitting some "science". Each grow is unique. What works for you may not work for me, and vice versa. We're all "brother's in arms", doing the same, but in our own way.

That pic you posted looks like all the tric heads are fried :( lots of degradation, guess you don't care about that? That's gonna have a lot of CBN.

nah bro...

man this thread.
i could post alot here

there's so much much wrong info out there or jusr confusion

my all time favorite bud is the mex sour. the creator of all sour strains chemdawg etc.
goes about 16 weeks. chunky spongey. smells like chemmy garlic bread with berry undertones and a sour dirty funk.. an amazing high thats euphoric trippy but still relieves anxiety due to the berry terps not cbd
ive grown some 26+weekers that will have people swearing its laced, have yiu sweating heart pounding, freaking out with auditory and closed eye hallucinations..more if you dont have a tolerance.
but i could dive into the scientific aspect here, a quality sativa has little competing cbd. some cultures use these crops actually to fast, they can have very different properties with the propyl compounds. and terp profile.

even takin 8 weeks early like i do with that 26er it gives an amazing orange hash oil thats to die for.
the compounds including terps create the color, not just degradation. ive seen pink and purple trichs as well...





ive grown alot of newer genetics. but ill always be a central/s.a lover. nothing better


im sure me and rm3 will disagree on something. just how it goes
but a happy plant doesnt stink

ive never ran carbon filters. or anything and im not just used to the odors. of course if its too warm or whatever i can smell them.


anyway interesting read.
im going to bed



yall should try growing some mexi brick. of course iy can take a few batches to find something beautiful it all depends on your connect and where its originating
