If you want to explore his work, this is probably the paper to start with.Ah. Yeah.
This guy is very interesting re: Cannabinoids generally and re: parkinson's in particular.

More or less, my understanding is that CB1 and CB2 are two primary receptors on the brain. Thc is an agonist for both. Cbd is an antagonist for both. Thcv is an antagonist for CB1 and an agonist for CB2.
My father has parkinson's. Among other things, this affects the basal ganglia, associated with movement. His damaged cells lose their cb1 receptivity. However, they gain cb2 receptors. This is unusual for this part of the brain.
There is enough density there that i wonder. This scientist's research suggests neuroprotective effects from stimulating these receptors and so i am intrigued.

Using near-red to promote Emerson Effect and far-red for flower initiation are on my to-do list.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. I'm an electrical engineer in my other life and could build any form of light that exists in electrical parts.
One of bruce bugby’s videos talks all about far red. Im sorry i dont have the link handy.

Most credible source on light for our needs that I have ever found.
agreed. Credible on growing of course too. But i do caution. He has no experience growing potent weed and uses commercial medical growers for consultation. Shame he didnt consult with experienced caregivers. Or old school weed farmers. Small and home medical growers tend to be the best at this craft not big investment run dispensary type grows.
In other words they dont know how to or are not willing to grow truly potent complex flowers.
I do not believe pushing plants for faster growth helps develop their whole potential profile. Slow and steady wins the race imo.

So what are your thoughts on spectrum and intensity?
Tbf i don't think he has ever claimed that as an interest of his.
I hope some sense can be made of this. Sorry i dont have lab tests. But i will say my buds still grown with hps now are more potent than ever. So grower skill and environment are the most important factors. Not light frequency.
So I was looking at Frenchy Cannoli's instagram yesterday, and he just tested some hashish that had tested negative for THCV until a few months after it was made. After that point, IIRC, it tested at 2.2% THCV. So there's definitely something about the formation of THCV that can take place after harvest.
i have been wondering about decarbing not really working the same way as time. Our edibles are made with fully jar cured trim and buds not fresh decarbed ones and seem much stronger than other edibles i have tried with decarbed weed product.
I have found any shortcut reduces final quality so is it possible time creates something in the flowers that quick decarbing can not?

I don't think you would get high smoking it either unless it was frozen for four years.Decarbing and curing are 2 separate things completely.
You have to have a decarb somewhere in your edible process or you would get zero effect.
As far as this testing goes, there is no significant difference in cannabinoids fresh, freeze dried, air dryed, and cured for a month or 6 months if taken from the same bud. Curing will naturally decarb as the carboxyl group decays over months, but not even close to what you would consider decarbed after 2 years. Think of it this way if you found an old bud from 5 years ago and ate it raw, would you get high?
