    Searching for high THCV strains

    First, in my humble view, thinking you're going to test so many variables concurrently will lead to insanity. For the computer science savvy among you, it becomes an N-P complete problem in short order, and add in the qualitative nature of the effects we're looking for, the results become...

    Searching for high THCV strains

    Welcome!, and wow! If you've read through the whole thread, I expect you picked up our parallel paths, but I'm a couple years ahead of you in the search. Congrats on the shortcut!😊 I dropped 50 lbs when I unknowingly grew a high THCV plant, and have been looking for it ever since. @Moe.Red also...

    Who would I need to kill to get some Dutch Treat from you? PM me if you're interested in trading genetics.

    A loosely related tangent, but @Moe.Red , it occurred to me as I'm closing in on harvesting a couple of plants, is there any lucidity you can bring to all of the bro-sci surrounding harvest timing? e.g. Always harvest in the morning. Give the plants 24 hrs of dark before harvest. Milky...

    Nice to have a statistician on board. Cool; seriously. @Moe.Red , did you ever finalize your brief trial with your V crystals? I could have missed your summary, but last I recall, you had no appetite for a long duration, but that might have been due to an infection. Did you ever go back and...

    I've been looking closely at Lebanese Hash Plant for a potential summer grow since it's generally advertised as a super auto with both Indica and Sativa leanings, and the geography is right for THCV. Gonna be real interested in your analysis. How was the grow overall?

    @Moe.Red , I haven't read the whole article in detail, but here's a statement that stands out in light of the perceived effects of including CBD in your meds: Conclusions: Our results suggest that THCV and CBD might be used as new therapeutic agents for the pharmacological treatment of...

    Searching for high THCV strains

    That's the thing, my experience says it's more of a "regulator", not a simple appetite suppressor. As my weight decreased close to my set point, my appetite increased until I was at a stable weight. A change in strains is enough to increase/decrease my weight by 20 lb, without me consciously...

    Trust me, I understand. Folks that haven;t been through it,, can't understand my enthusiasm -- seemingly, even those who could benefit from going the same path, don't seem to get it. Not thinking about food, and not looking forward to eating seems incomprehensible to others.

    While I was consuming the mystery strain 3 years ago, I pretty much had to force myself to eat, and *nothing* tasted special. There was no need to calorie count or do a special diet, other than making sure what I did eat, was highly nutritious since my intake was so low.

    But you had to smoke throughout the day to maintain the appetite suppression? Agree, but until I met you, considering parsing out and testing synergy between the various components wasn't part of the equation, hence my search for the "right" strains. My simpleton approach would be to combine...

    Searching for high THCV strains

    Well, my experience over the past 3 years strongly suggests my/our endocannabinoid systems regulates our weight around a "set point", so before medicating, 3+ years ago, my set point was a very chubby 195 lb., then while consuming (what I believe to be) a high THCV strain, my set point was 130...

    Who uses bleach for DWC..???

    1 ppm = 1 mg/L 1g CaClO3 + 0.5L H2O = 2000 ppm Figure out your dilutions from there. Na = Sodium Ca = Calcium

    The Mad Villain and Mad Dog that I bought from Hoku Seeds are both supposed to be high in CBG but I can't find any detail re: this cannabinoid. What effects does it allegedly provide? Anyone have first hand experience?

    Who uses bleach for DWC..???

    Bleach will cause Na buildup and will require more frequent rez changes. Pool shock is the correct answer as it uses the Ca+ ion instead of Na+, so much less toxicity. I use the 70%. Mix 1g in 500ml distilled H2O for a stock soln, then add 3-4 ml /gal of rez every 3-4 days.

    , No. If I drink fully caffinated coffee after 1PM I'm staring at the ceiling until 2AM. Interesting differences. I'm wondering if they're due to what we consume. I'm a whole plant guy: I grind up the bud as much as possible before decarbing in 2 oz jars, then that goes into a batch of cookies...

    Searching for high THCV strains

    During my initial, accidental consumption of a high V strain, I was doing a single daily dose (~2-3g of dried bud in a cookie) in the evening as a sleep aid and my appetite remained suppressed all day long. No need for a booster dose mid-day. This sounds contrary to what you're saying with the...

    What are your plans for the Ethiopian? I have 3 Mad Villain germinating, and I've a killer clone of Wild Thai. Both strains are destined for feminized seed production, which will I'll share when they ripen.I 2% is at the low end, but *probably* enough for the effects I want. But, the more the...
