yes less amber stronger THC or CBD more amber less CBD or THC, this is why I use KAMINO, it prevents or rather delays the CBN, but continues to stimulate sugar uptake, so I get purer THC and fatter buds :) I get ripe, not mature :)

Is the Kamino your stuff eco? I need to get some of this, for sure!

Awesome bit of info right there

yes miss it is. We grow it, we blend it, we ferment it, we labeled it, tested it now sell it LOL it is awesome

happy to help, this is the place we can thrash out our ideas, together we will get the science and so the facts when possible

Got home from school and started farming.. It was awesome to come in to the Honey Boo Boo that I started LST on and see her colas standing up on the ones I put down

 

[CharmCity915]

The Neville Haze is coming along amazing

@Ecompost what's up brother, hope everything is green on your side.. Dude can you throw up a current pic of the EL FUEGO :eyepiece::badboy:.. Super pumper about starting mine

Please

there you go buddy, the fan nearly chopped her head off, the frame caught it and stopped it from crushing her, webbing snapped on the side, it is about 8 years old so time for a refresh anyway after this :-) she got a bit wind batter but she still goes on :-) about 2 -3 days before chop

good luck with it, shes pretty easy going, like NPK, likes calmag

and some input from another well known head who knows stuff..(colonnuggs)

Returning to the more orthodox version of the cannabinoid biosynthesis, the role of ultraviolet light should be reemphasized. It seems apparent that ultraviolet light, normally supplied in abundance by sunlight, takes part in the conversion of CBD acid to THC acids. Therefore, the lack of ultraviolet light in indoor growing situations could account for the limited psychoactivity of Cannabis grown under artificial lights.

Light energy has been collected and utilized by the plant in a long series of reactions resulting in the formation of THC acids. Farther along the pathway begins the formation of degradation products not metabolically produced by the living plant.

These cannabinoid acids are formed through the progressive degradation of THC acids to CBN acid (cannabinolic acid) and other cannabinoid acids.

"The degradation is accomplished primarily by heat and light and is not enzymatically controlled by the plant."

CBN is also suspected of synergistic modification of the psychoactivity of the primary cannabinoids, THCs. The cannabinoid balance between CBC, CBD, THC, and CBN is determined by genetics and maturation.

THC production is an ongoing process as long as the glandular trichome remains active.

Variations in the level of THC in the same trichome as it matures are the result of THC acid being broken down to CBN acid while CBD acid is being converted to THC acid.

If the rate of THC biosynthesis exceeds the rate of THC breakdown, the THC level in the trichome rises; if the breakdown rate is faster than the rate of biosynthesis, the THC level drops.

Clear or slightly amber transparent resin is a sign that the glandular trichome is still active. As soon as resin secretion begins to slow, the resins will usually polymerize and harden. During the late floral stages the resin tends to darken to a transparent amber color.

If it begins to deteriorate, it first turns translucent and then opaque brown or white. Near-freezing temperatures during maturation will often result in opaque white resins. During active secretion, THC acids are constantly being formed from CBD acid and breaking down into CBN acid


edit to how they are arrived

THCA (THC acids as you put it) is not formed from CBDA.
THCA is formed from CBGA, CBDA is also formed from CBGA, as is CBCA.
CBGA (Cannabigerolic acid) is the precursor to most other cannabinoids.

It goes: Geranyl phosphate --> Olivetolic acid --> Cannabigerolic acid --> [THCA / CBCA / CBDA]

Oh wow. Ok.
It's unbelievable how much disinformation there's on the net! Even serious websites and books do keep telling the story of changing the high by color of trichs. I've read it a hundred times at least. In my short period of growing I was CONVINCED I should wait till amber... Man, this is so precious info!!! Thank you so much again!
Good thing having thrown the Kamino into the bag.. Hehe! TY :)

Yes, I am a fan of good and repeatable data buddy, I agree with the problems. I have written something here, perhaps you might like it. I think it might go someway to explaning how this happens and why, forgive my somewhat dry tone in it. If you are an SEO sorry again but....



Thanks you all for your support of BOX, we really do appreciate it, its a crowded market, we know the choices are vast, and so we made our nutrients to be precious to us personally, that way you all are too when you choose to grow with us :-)

So here's a few pics..
Top one is the Honey Boo Boo.. I started LST 2 days ago and she is filling out beautifully..

Bottom 2 are the Neville Haze.. A beautiful plant.. Nice green color and is starting to get tall

HAHAHAHA I said pumper ☝☝.. PUMPED is what I am

Thank you so much @Ooopsi !!! Yes!! 2016 is the year for great changes! Change can be very scary, but if we change our outlook to see change as a new adventure, Change can be exciting!

WORD! Letting go is hard at first but one of the most important lessons in life. I see it like this: you may be closing one door, but there will be 2 or more new ones to open... ;)
