im sure jandre will correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure thc degrades into cbd, now i may be totally wrong but im going on what i read and not on actual experience as i have no way of testing anything i grow, if i could send it to a lab and be tested i would do
now from what i can tell thc degrades and then turns into cbd, so if i had the chance id grow a plant and harvest at different times,
now their is plenty of arguments when its best to harvest, i have some growers saying its best to harvest just before the trichs turn cloudy or just after you notice a few cloudy trichs as they continue to develop even after harvest,
others say to get the best thc content its best to harvest around 100% cloudy or around 75 to 80% cloudy so the trichs are around 100% cloudy after drying period
now when the trichs turn amber this is suppose to be signs that the thc is degrading and its past its best, its a bit confusing as their is many different statements on the net, some say the best thc levels are when you have between 10 and 25% amber trichs but this info comes from growers who really dont know the true facts,
from what i can make out the highest thc content is around 80 to 100% cloudy with the odd amber trich,
when you notice the trichs turning amber the thc is degrading and this means an increase in cbd,
maybe jandre can clear this up as he has been working with cbd genetics so maybe has a much better understanding that most,
so im wondering if you end up with higher cbd % if you let the trichs turn mostly amber, this should be when thc has degraded so shouldnt be as potent,
another thing im wonder is if we bred plants when the trichs had turned amber, so putting pollen on a bud that has 1/4amber trichs would this then results in the seeds having a higher cbd level,
plus say a seed says its 5% cbd, does this mean its 5%cbd at 100% cloudy or would you end up with higher cbd levels if you let the trichs go more amber,
please dont take my word on what i have written in this post, im going on several bits of info i have picked up over the time i have been growing, but from what i can tell thc degrades into cbd, so when the trichs degrade they go from clear to cloudy which im told is when the plant is at its most potent, when the trichs turn amber this means the ths is degrading and past its best, this then turns into cbd,
so would it benefit a patient who is growing to let their plants go past the cloudy stage and wait till it was mostly amber, would this then lower the thc % and increase the cbd%, im only wondering this as i have suffered with ibs for to long now and smoking a couple of joints at night helps me sleep and eases the pain but i cant smoke to much in the day as i have to do stuff so dont want to be to chilled,
it really does help with my pain and id love to have a daytime smoke that not as high in thc, i prefer the thc content to help with sleep as i suffer with insomnia but im trying to find out if their is a decent cbd sativa strain or if i harveted a plant when trichs where mostly amber then would this increase cbd and lower thc,
