    Subcool seeds are being released again. Live on Dave!

    You can get them from a US seller very cheap. I posted a TLC plate from mine in the old THCV thread. They are f2 from Subcool seeds. 2gunsandaguy dot com

    Glad to see that someone is still interested in the V. I have a few starts outside - Black Willie, Varin BX, Mad Villain, Syrian, and some Durban Poison of unknown provenance. My first grow outside in pots in the desert.

    Hoku seed drop with THCV varieties right NOW. Go to the Hoku Series in the shop, then Villainy Series. I ordered the Varin BX. "I just want to say thank you for your patience and I apologize for not getting these out last Friday like I had planned. But here they are!!! And there should be...

    No one has answered drewmech's question on the harvest. Hasn't anyone grown any varin varieties? Moe.red? I grew out some Diet Durban as mentioned above, now have two Novarine THCV plants that I'm waiting on to flower. The DD has seeds,but also plenty of THCV. I'm hoping the novarine will do...

    Here's a quick and dirty TLC run of my Diet Durban. This was done rather carelessly since I was in a hurry. It still shows what I wanted to see though. It's still a couple of weeks from harvest, and it's got some seeds. I just let them have their little onanist love fest - knocked off what male...

    Enter 'DIY TLC testing cannabis' in your favorite search engine. The first result should be on rollitup dot org. There's a step-by-step explanation of the process there.

    It's called 'Thin Layer Chromatography' (TLC) and is not going to tell you the percentage of THC in your plants, even though the makers of the kits want you to think that. Since this thread is about looking for THCV, it does show us if that compound is present - if it's a tiny dot or none at...

    How have you done with the THCV extract? I have a little on order - did it have some effect? How did you administer it? I thought I'd mix a little with some smoke, or maybe try sub-dermal with DMSO. >It may be time for a V break and reset for a month. Please let us know how it goes. I've gone...

    Fast Blue BB Salt hemi(zinc chloride) salt - CAS Number 5486-84-0 - Stores at room temp, as opposed to CAS 120-00-3 which needs to be frozen. On the second (fuzzy) plates, I mixed it with plain dist H2O - before I was mixing it in a 1 mol solution of NaOH. In plain water, it dissolves...

    I finally got some satisfactory results using TLC on the Jack the Ripper that I grew last winter. The seeds were f2 from the Subcool line. They are still not perfect, but they are telling me what I wanted to know - if THCV is present. The first one has sharp dots, but they are all run together -...

    Does anyone here TLC test?

    It's a forum like this, and a very long thread with many of the details later on. This site will not let me post the link - it changes the URL to invalid.com ! Try this - it's rollitup dot org then /t/diy-thin-layer-chromatography-tlc-of-cannabinoids-at-home-tutorial.953423/

    Does anyone here TLC test?

    I use hexane first, as the solvent for the extraction in the tubes, then chloroform for the eluent in a jar to soak the plates. Then I dissolve the fast blue in a sodium hydroxide solution. This is what I learned from the tutorial I follwed. I really dislike working with chloroform, too - it's...

    Does anyone here TLC test?

    Try Again. Mr Moe, I followed all your suggestions - decarbed at exactly 128°C for 90 min. I only have one ul capillary tubes, so I hit them all twice - might cause the blurryness? And I wonder why they are all run together instead of more discreet dots, like my first crude attempt? When I look...

    Does anyone here TLC test?

    Oh man, thank you so much for the help. Every point you mentioned is right on the money and makes perfect sense. I did not decarb - I thought if it was cured, it wasn't necessary. I think I'll do it in my kiln, which has precise control (because I built the controller.) Yup, two dots on the...

    Does anyone here TLC test?

    I called them to see if they might still sell 5 grams, and was told that they don't ship to residential addresses. But I finally found a company that would, they state it on their website. I also discovered something very interesting - and money saving. There are two different types of Fast...

    Does anyone here TLC test?

    Thanks so much, but the smallest amount they have is 25 g for $125, plus about $40 for cold ship. I'd say that 25 grams would last the rest of my life, but seeing that I am 75, 10mg might do that... I was looking for just a gram, which the restricted sites sell. I just wanted to test my own...

    Does anyone here TLC test?

    @Moe.Red Hope it's not too late for this thread. I just recently joined this site, and have been following the THCV threads. I'm really impressed by your work with TLC, and I'm trying to put together a kit myself. I found a great step-by-step tutorial on another site geared towards cannabis...

    It would be nice to find or breed a strain that was rich in both THCV and humulene, Wouldn't it? Girl Scout Cookies is supposed to be high in the humulene, but with only a trace of THCV, even though Durban Poison is one of the parents. Girl Scout Cookies: This popular strain has some of the...

    Searching for high THCV strains

    Hello, I just found this forum (and thread) searching around for info on THCV. This is my first post here. I found out about THCV accidentally. I hadn't smoked anything in some years, and a friend told me about this strain he was using that he said gave him energy and motivation. He gave me...
