average amount of red hairs at harvest?

Unless the new growers guide has new infomation contrary to this, I have to go with Ed Rosenthall, Mel Frank and the old guy on this one. The fact that they have THC degradation time tables from labs would suggest to me that they have actual research to support their conclusions.

Does anyone have real, actual research on this. IE you took samples and performed chromotography from the same plant and bud at both points in time? Or are we just making stuff up?

BTW I have been waiting to hear this new theory defended so I'm interested in the outcome.

I have a friend who is doing a variation of this as we speak.
It's going to take months to get answers though, but there seems to be a connection.

And your friends test showed that...? The problem with no correct information ever being shared must be that whenever someone get it right they probably are to far up among the clouds to write it down or even remember it T_T

This is an old thread.

My friend does not own his own lab and therefore does not have a chromatography machine.
What I ment by a variation was that my friend was conducting experiments in his own home.
I'm not sure what you mean by tests, he did not perform a scientific study.

If you are looking for a concise collection of information regarding cannabinoids, the states of trichomes and how they affect the high I would suggest you read this:

https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/516184-trichomes-harvesting.html

in the 1970's cannabolic acid was all we new about besides thc.cbn&cbd are cannabolic acids.we used to make hash oil from boiling (refluxing) weed in various alcohols.which destroyed the active thc,but turned the into active cannabolic acids in the form of a isomer of delta 9 thc.it produced an almost opioid high. but now in our neo expertise we love to over complicate harvest time selection.depending on strain .harvesting when the pistols are between 50% to 80% dried and changed color.the stoner/hippy way never fails! there are undoubtedly many cannabiniods we've yet to discover and fully understand there role in the overall high of a given weed. so for now sticking to tried and true methods works fine! happy trails

t0k3s. I joined this site just to reply to this old thread and your incorrect comments.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL MOSTLY AMBER! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AMATEUR TALK.

You never want to wait until fully amber, or even half. THC IS 90% DEGRADED at the very beginning of the amber stage. The PEAK of THC is BEFORE fully cloudy trichomes, fully cloudy trichs are past peak THC. Don't you know this? Amazing, this is growing 101 stuff here. You are proof positive the number of posts a user has here has no relation to intelligence. Not only do MOST medical growers harvest BEFORE amber, but HighTimes and other marijuana growing publications have had numerous "experts" come out and say "less amber is better". No matter if you want the head or body high, it's about PEAK THC. So in the reality of growers who KNOW how to grow, the BEST TIME, or the actual "mature" time is BEFORE ambers set in.

Everything YOU say is opinion, facts are in books. You may be a Veteran Smoker, but Veteran grower you are not. If I'm not banned here I'll GLADLY put up ANY of my grow journals against ANY of yours. You should of listened to Brick Top, he is much more informed then you will ever be. Maybe you have changed since 2009. Come reply back if you dare, I'll school you 1-2-3.

Thx for the read

Old thread but i'd like to see them journals CIsGreen

I'm so happy I found this thread, I was so close to harvesting way to early on my Afghan Kush. It's my first year growing period. You all are very knowledgeable and glad I came across this !

anybody seen brick top

I don't think he has been on RIU for a long long time, shame as I enjoyed his posts.
