High THCV strains and breeding them

Milson said:

Try UV? If you are thinking of experiments.

But i agree. Probably genetics just don't have much if any to express.

did you see the post with the 12 week run having 3.5% more thcv or so than the 8 week one. There is a thread recently on riu.

As i always suspect. Short flowering kills off the stuff that made weed great.

I did, yes. I think he has already run these girls quite long though.

Makes me wonder about the 17 week Cambodian I was gifted ....

That's just a lot of weeks. If i get into a perpetual flower tent mode i will pop what i have and see what they're like.

Yes, I'm a fan.

BTW, measuring total cannabinoids at this point I am in decline on all plants.

This is so you don't think I do this to all my plants lol. This is day 11 and is a sacrificial lamb to this THCV discovery process. Fem Durban Poison from Original Harvest.



These are 1 week into flower. First is White Widow from Greenhouse - the original genetics. This one is purely medicinal for my wife and will be properly babied right up to harvest.



Purple Kush

I've never been a budporn guy but if you want to see closeups of the flowers I harvest tomorrow let me know.

Absolutely. At least the way I did it. I could have slowed things down.. but I'm convinced I should see THCV now if it is ever gonna happen.

2 notes. Mr. Nice (Shantibaba) has the original white widow available in regs only. Shanti ised to work with greenhouse but took the real genetics with him long ago. Also medicine man (white rhino) is even better for pain and inflammation imo.

And if you skip the high pk the trichomes wont degrade nearly as soon. Also less light and heat last few weeks is needed.

This only happens under LED for me.

light too close. There have been threads on this led bleaching. Also lot of nute burn which seems to go along with these led bleaching pics.

On it

@Aqua Man can you help with vid posting?

Thanks @Aqua Man

Here is how I decided to handle the UV and Far Red control. I can set any cycle on 4 independent channels and turn them off by voice to enter the tent. WiFi controlled using Kasa app.

There are (2) 4' UVA bars and (2) 4' Far Red bars. I am putting all the red on the left and all the UV on the right just for early comparison. I'll explain more later.



I should also probably admit that I just bought 10 THC Victory seeds. Based on my recent very pleasant experience with this bank across the pond, I would expect them here in less than 2 weeks. I either find the THCV they advertise, or pretty much expose them to everyone lol. Hope its real.

you are growing on the starship Enterprise!

Can you link the ones not working for me please.

Have word back that its likely addonns causing the issue. It would be personal browser settings. Maybe a pop up blocker etc.

I’m halfway through reading the entire thread, but I’m already fully invested and dedicated. PLEASE let me help and be a part of this in some way.
my Dad just got diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I am his primary and only source of Cannabis.
Here’s the genetics I am holding that might possibly be able to contribute to this project (most likely candidates, based on what I’ve read so far)

Durban Cheese (Dynasty)
Molokai Frost
Electric Duck Buddaz (PuaMana)

The hawaiians look most likely....

Sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. I will be sure to report anything i learn re: my dad. Please hmu if you ever hit an academic paper you want access to. I will see see if I can get to it and share.

Thoroughly good read. Thank you to all contributors. Noticed seattle chronic seeds has a thcv x cbg collaboration project with Hoku seeds. I took screenshots of the Instagram post just incase anyone wants to read sorry for poor overlap.

Regarding Novarine I sent Elite seeds an email regarding availability of it over a year ago and was told "coming soon".

Regs?!?! Wow!

Btw, I will vouch for SHN. They are also a site sponsor.

@Moe.Red have you thought about microbial life in plants effecting their phytochemistry? If you have a bacteria or yeast come through in your parents, then trigger a mechanical secondary with a sap sucker in my instance. Could you then peak values and also pass through in seed? Have you seen this with Kevin McKernan talking at medicinal genomics, well its a youtube link that is probably bad.

Yeah guys I get it.

you might have missed the posts and video where I did all that on purpose as a test.

please don’t assume this is a normal grow for me. You guys are gonna give me a complex.
