if i take 2 hits from a strain with 20% THC is that the same as taking 4 hits from a strain with 10%?

can you get higher? or is there a "plateau"?

if you have a pound of weed, does any of this matter?

these were honest questions.

very good questions, i've always wondared this

where does hash fit in?

If the topic of the thread were to be ignored, what you said would be totally correct. If at least some attempt is made to remain topical than what you said would not be correct since the topic of the thread is when maximum levels of THC are reached and not what each individual grower's personal preference is.

As long as if someone harvests early or late, rather than when peak levels of THC are achieved, and they say they do so strictly due to personal preference, that they do so just because they like it better that way, rather than to incorrectly claim that their preferred harvest time is when maximum levels of THC are reached then it's totally cool and the gang. If not, then they are misleading people by making inaccurate unsubstantiated unproven claims.

I am curious about the way the THC percentage of hash is determined. Is it determined the same way as trichomes from a plant or is it based on something else, figured/rated in some other manner?

I would say that if all cannabinoids, terpenoids etc, would be in the same ratios, then yes, but if in differing ratios someone might get higher off the two hits of 20% THC or higher off the four hits of 10% THC.

can you get higher? or is there a "plateau"?

That would be a strain dependent question. As most everyone knows, some strains clearly have a ceiling, and at times they can be relatively low, and others seem to be ceiling-less.

if you have a pound of weed, does any of this matter?

Wouldn't that depend on the perception of each individual, and also at least to some degree the quality of the weed? If someone has a pound of Roadside Red where they could smoke an ounce of it and hardly get high they would likely see things differently than someone who had a pound of weed where two or three hits put them in the ozone for hours on end.

how can some weed gets you really high, yet some can only get you a little high? regardless of how much of it you smoke.

I seriously read that 20 times and after not smoking for 2 weeks and finally being able to, I may be too high to answer....

even cheap beer will get you shitfaced, if you drink enough.

pot isn't really like that.

ok I think now I get it....lol


That reminds me of when I used to smoke nothing but "mech," smoked all day and all night until I finally got drunk enough to get some sleep, but when we found "chronic" it didn't take so long

Anyone that has smoked long enough has run across strains that had ceilings and no matter how much you smoked you would only get so high, and that is all. It comes down to the ratios/mix of cannabinoids, terpenoids, etc.

that's the best you got? "that is all..."

so there is a mix?

why all the focus on THC then?

this thread confuses me.

so which one of those, exactly, are we looking at to find "peak harvest time"?

there is more then one thing in weed working to effect your brain. THC is only one of numerous things to consider.

so how do we tell when "peak THC level" is? we need a big machine or something?

New High Times has an article that says Dr. Paul G. Mahlberg has done a study proving that trichromes are most potent when clear-not milky and certainly not amber. Can anyone find this study without spending 3 days reading everything the guy ever wrote?

Ignore this ignorance everyone..

fact remains.. a plant takes time to produce THC (as well as other cannabinoids). Harvesting too early.. will fuck your crop up.. you'll be left with a product that has absolutely NO taste/potency to it, whatsoever.

If you decide to listen to this nonsense.. well, that's your own fault.

peace..

some of it depends on the THC content.. and other cannabinoid content.

once again, it all depends on when you harvest.. as to how potent that particular strain will come out to be in the end.
