Worth trying. At this point its all theories, guesses and maybes. I suppose you have to start somewhere. Lol.
MIMEd, Brendan, you have convinced me. Here is my thought:
I currently have 6 plants in the tent, only 2 are supposedly high THCV. Maybe I harvest the other 4 now and just leave the 2 Jack the Rippers in there by themselves. Let them go for another month or more. Back down nutes, probably back off the lighting, and see what happens. Keep doing TLC testing once a week and see if the THCV starts to ramp up? Sound like a solid approach?
Thanks for the assist guys, you are in my will getting all my mothers if this THCV kills me.
I was reading that scientists think that maybe certain types of infrared light may trigger sativa plants to synthesize THCV in late flower.
That would make sense as to why the landrace strains from south africa and hawaii have THCV, it's hotter in both places.I don't think there is anything to infrared other than heat, perhaps it needs to run hotter than I would typically.
Durban is not particularly hot compared to....thailand, colombia, jamaica, Mexico, vietnam, southern india, etc.That would make sense as to why the landrace strains from south africa and hawaii have THCV, it's hotter in both places.
But THCV is newly discovered. The strains that are showing high amounts didn't necessarily always show high amounts but they sometimes do. That leads me to think that it's genetics mixed with environment.Durban is not particularly hot compared to....thailand, colombia, jamaica, Mexico, vietnam, southern india, etc.
Fwiw.
I agree there is likely a significant environmental component.But THCV is newly discovered. The strains that are showing high amounts didn't necessarily always show high amounts but they sometimes do. That leads me to think that it's genetics mixed with environment.
If it were me, i think I might dig until i find a strain with significant thcv, pair it to one of those bad boys who shows good thcv, cross them, find two good F1s, cross that, and i bet you could find a pretty special F2 with enough digging. That is my gut take on that, several bowls deep at nearly 1am local. Lol.Another strain lead.

Good night, its early morning here...If it were me, i think I might dig until i find a strain with significant thcv, pair it to one of those bad boys who shows good thcv, cross them, find two good F1s, cross that, and i bet you could find a pretty special F2 with enough digging.

I would also look hard at hawaiian gear and environment. Humidity, pressure, light, etc.
But it is still significantly warmer than most indoor grows. In the height of summer its not unusual to see 30° C still at 1:00am. And don't forget the humidity, it tends to hover between 65 and 85% RH in summer... I'm n
That seems very similar to the mediterranean climate where i live.But it is still significantly warmer than most indoor grows. In the height of summer its not unusual to see 30° C still at 1:00am. And don't forget the humidity, it tends to hover between 65 and 85% RH in summer... I'm not sure how to keep an indoor grow that high without issues...
The best Colombian weed grows in the mountains where it never gets very hot.That would make sense as to why the landrace strains from south africa and hawaii have THCV, it's hotter in both places.
