I said ideally, lol.I better tell my plants that if they have any amber, they can't have any more clear trichs.
Not sure thats quite how it works. But I understand what you are going for there.and starts to degrade to other cannabinoids -- mostly CBN
Care to elaborate? I'm all for learning!Not sure thats quite how it works. But I understand what you are going for there.
CBN is not created by the plant. It is created from decaying THCa during drying and curing. The older the weed the more CBN.Care to elaborate? I'm all for learning!
Fair play. I'll add that besides age, it's also related to light, heat exposure after harvest as well. Point being -- amber trichs on the plant are converted "other cannabinoids" that are going to degrade to CBN much quicker after harvest. Hence, the "couch lock' generalization often associated with amber trichs on the plant.CBN is not created by the plant. It is created from decaying THCa during drying and curing. The older the weed the more CBN.
Ok, rather than edit how I typed the post above, I'll try and explain here. No, I'm not trying to say that other cannabinoids turn into CBN. THCa degradation is what forms CBN. Amber trichomes are an indication that THC is breaking down on the plant. While not directly producing CBN, it is my understanding that the THC can break down into CBN while still on the plant, which is why I made the amber trichome and CBN connection. The plant makes THC, and THC becomes CBN. Am I wrong? A quick search can find numerous articles written online indicating CBN being on the plant. There's even CBN strains. Again, I'm not claiming to be an expert on this and I don't know everything, so when it comes to the science, all I can do is share what I've heard and read. I'll readily admit when I'm wrong when some info is thrown at me. This wasn't meant to go down the rabbit hole of the different types of trichomes, how everything scientifically breaks down, just a simple preference on harvest window based on trichome development from trying different things. You were right to call me out on how that was worded, as bad info shouldn't go unchecked. I don't mind the turn this poll has taken, I don't mind the innuendo, and I don't even mind being corrected, I just think that maybe based on the energy you're posting with, you're already being "that guy."Man I don’t know how deep you want to go here but it’s not quiet that simple. Not trying to be “that guy” but what other cannabinoid are we talking about? So like CBG converts to CBN and is only found in amber triches? I’m lost.
You might try asking nicely before shouting orders.I better tell my plants that if they have any amber, they can't have any more clear trichs.
I've had to harvest early before and ended up with some speedy stuff, and yeah, it's different.I like more amber 20-30%, dont like speedy weed. If i growing something leaning more sativa then only slight amber. If its a stright indica then closer to 50% amber
My last poll on washing outdoor bud was a real hoot, with a lot of participation, so I thought I'd see if I could generate the magic again, lol! Anyone with an opinion, please -- join in! I would love to hear from growers with a lot of experience and a lot of trial and error on harvest window, especially.
After selecting, feel free to post why you like that harvest window. Thanks!
Good point. I like the analogy. Especially since you can extrapolate that into how you are using said banana, which might alter when you "harvest" it, i.e. eating it as a banana, or using it for bread, pudding, etc.Some people like green bananas; some like them dark yellow with brown spots. I've always liked mine right in the middle.
When external inputs actually allow me to bring a plant to full term, there is a change in the overt glow of the whole plant when the trichomes start to favor the way of milky/amber. I've personally found reading trichomes to be misleading and it only serves to feed my impatience.
