Hey @Olddog Newtrick - thanks - well, to be direct, that’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s not true in the least. At least if it is, I’ve never come close to seeing it. New genetics are not going to affect the basic way a pot plant develops. The trichs will always turn amber if you wait. Sometimes the clear to white window is real long, but in the end, the thc will always degrade with time and turn amber.
I also think if that were true for say, a strain here and there, the breeder would likely mention it in the advertising. It’s something that would be important. Least you’d hope for that level of responsibility.
Makes perfect sense to me but, thought I’d ask you, since you have the most auto experience of anyone I’ve met.
I'm not so sure. I think never going amber would be weird as its just part of every organic thing ever. It turns to brown. See it every day.
well thats to bad enjoy that last frosty bud, & you'll grow it again at some point maybe in coco or your super soil & try to get over 5 ozWell, @con, I’m sad to say that you are seeing the last bong hit of my Double Grape. I really loved this bud. The only downside to the strain is she’s not a huge yielder (I *think* we agree?). But she’s frosty as hell, has a super interesting odor as she cures, very complex, and she smokes like a dream. Plenty strong. But she has enough sativa in her that I never got couchlock from mine. Good for pain, pretty good for creativity too, and sooooo tasty. Bye lady. You were lovely.
It's got a shitload of buds in there
It really doesn’t. But grown slow and low.

CoolI'm not so sure. I think never going amber would be weird as its just part of every organic thing ever. It turns to brown. See it every day.
But my Farmer buddy told me recently about of the 27 podcasts he listens to each week that some of the highest testing THC strains around at the moment have different shaped trichs.
I'll have a look back through our 1000's of messages we managed to get through for the podcast.
So shape change:
Classic trich right? Ignore the fact its super clear but it has a ball on top, right?
I can't find a picture to properly illustrate it but apparently the highest THC testing strains don't have a ball, a globe, a bulge at the top.
But they have much higher density which gives them the upwards overall tick on THC.
I haven't listen to it but we speculated that without the globe casting shade they can grow closer together, a sort of bred for attribute. I mean - it was probably just a mutation, doubt anyone set out to do it, but some people may have spotted it and bred for it.
Anyway I'll hunt out the podcast.
I think btw - me The Farmer and The Terp KIng are close on getting a podcast (not for profit/money at all) together. If Rob is OK with it, and its OK to listen to I'll put it on Vimeo.
The Terp King about to start his first real grow in Spain in Rockwool. Me and Farmer got popcorn to hand. Gonna be funny. A better smoker than grower is TTK!

This has nothing to do with autos but some of the 100% Sativas never get amber. But don’t ask me why cause Idk.Cool
CLBoth Kali Mist and CBD Warlock (both from Serious Seeds, old school strains) are heavy sativas. Their stigmas never got any colour but white. Then we harvested them and an hour later a bunch of them went orange/amber just waiting for trim.This has nothing to do with autos but some of the 100% Sativas never get amber. But don’t ask me why cause Idk.
@Melville Hobbes pay close attention to paragraph 3, I think? (I know, I know it’s not why!
Moby Dick is one of the strains they tested with.
Ahhhh!
It was my original misread of the story thing, even for me a bit obtuse!
Lol, can't say I've seen that one.It was my original misread of the story thing, even for me a bit obtuse!
Your screen name deriving, of course, from your favourite movie rather than a too oft studied North America literary stalwart.
Were you to read a book:
This is incredible. Set in a small Ivy League college it’s ostensibly about baseball. Baseball does some good books.
The Principle or whatever the college is kinda of a sideline. His daughter is dating the best baller on the team. Real nice kid. He’s also balling the star left centre fielder who’s like a genius at literature and 20 years old and black. The Principle that is. Balling the young black kid. Consentually.
But said future literary superstar figures out that the thesis, and the lode stone of the principle’s academic reputation on Moby Dick, by Herman Mellville was stolen. It was plagiarised.
The how to throw and catch the ball stuff is beautiful though.
Best baseball book?
Its actually quite a lot about Nazi’s, gestapo torture, time travel, Biff kinda stock market cheating a la Back to the Future, and what to people who don’t know about the time travel bit might be termed incest.
But the simple act of throwing and catching a ball is never more beautifully captured.
And no. Holden Caulfield don’t play.
To bring it back to growing. Ali G once said,
“If the grass is on the pitch, let’s play”
My other grow is looking banging! I really donnt grow this bad normally
