Chances are it is not going to be very potent.
The evolution of major cannabinoids and
terpenes during the growth of
Cannabis sativa plants was studied. In this work, seven different plants were selected: three each from chemotypes I and III and one from chemotype II. Fifty clones of each mother plant were grown indoors under controlled conditions. Every week, three plants from each variety were cut and dried, and the leaves and flowers were analyzed separately. Eight major cannabinoids were analyzed via HPLC-DAD, and 28
terpenes were quantified using GC-FID and verified via GC-MS. The chemotypes of the plants, as defined by the tetrahydrocannabinolic acid/cannabidiolic acid (THCA/CBDA) ratio, were clear from the beginning and stable during growth. The concentrations of the major cannabinoids and
terpenes were determined, and different patterns were found among the chemotypes. In particular, the plants from chemotypes II and III needed more time to reach peak production of THCA, CBDA, and monoterpenes. Differences in the cannabigerolic acid development among the different chemotypes and between monoterpene and sesquiterpene evolution patterns were also observed. Plants of different chemotypes were clearly differentiated by their terpene content, and characteristic
terpenes of each chemotype were identified.\
TLDR: It takes time for the THCa to develop in the plant, and it is not linear. More at the end.
CBG spikes earlier, which makes sense because it is the precursor molecule to both THC and CBD.
If you want to get high, this plant will most likely be weak. And the worst part - Durban is special because there is a tiny amount of THCv. That's the stuff that makes you up - Sativa high. that doesn't form until the very end.
Sorry brother. Raw deal.
. I feel your pain. I’ve never tried doing anything with immature buds so I can’t help you there. They’re probably toast. However, from experience losing plants to storms and mold in the past, I suggest you plant 3-5 plants in the future to account for losing 1-3 due to problems or going male. And stake and support as they get big for this very situation.
