Marijuana [Cannabis]

"synthetic derivatives of thc may weaken hiv-1 infection to enhance anti-viral therapies".... by activating the CB2 receptor.

sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130430131530.htm

the interesting part is that they used jwh-133. one of "two commercially available cb2 agonists."
jleukbio.org/content/93/5/801

some people may recognize the jwh-xxx as being part of the "k2" or "spice" formulas, or
synthetic "cannabinoids".

because you cant patent thc or cbd.

its good to know meso finally got a marijuana growing section .
Ive tried to grow pot, but growing mushrooms is a piece of cake, or so ive heard .

cyanescens and cubensis are my favorites. Just in case someone wants to give me an early BDAY gift!

Don't stress the plant except as how you are training it to fit the flower space (in your instance, as much canopy as possible). The goal in veg is to break every size goal you set. Especially in terms of root mass. Direct correlation with bud yield.

You're at the point that you really want to think about finalizing a grow space for about a year (dial that bitch in), then play with your medium/system. Figure out what you like to do, and then rock that shit as hard as you can. The goal is 1 gram per watt (HID, no fucking clue LED). Until you go vertical.

Select plants for potency and overall experience too. If the bud smokes like dispensary bud, kill those pieces of shit, and find better.

I've been reading about vertical gardens. This would be good as I am limited on space. Id love to use my large tent (4'x4'x8) for vertical. Since my lights are LED, I should be able to hang them in a vertical angle.

But For now, the only other changes in setup would be to get another large tent (4'x4'x8'), but if I grow my legal amount (15 plants I think), then my two current tents will be fine.

nothing against weed for most, I however cannot partake in the devils lettuce because of my all or nothing personality

It will be interesting to see, in the US elections in November, how many more States go legal or decriminalize marijuana.

Gonna start flushing flowering plants with water only for next week or 2 and then its harvest time. I'll get some pics shortly. The hairs are turning from white to red and I read that is when you want to start flushing and preparing for harvest. Also looking at the the trichome will indicate when its time to harvest, but I can't remember what to look for. I just ordered a jeweler's lupe (off ebay) so I can see the trichomes.

 

[Nutpuncher]

Here are some pics.







Anybody have any tips about harvesting? Should I cut the stock as close to the roots as possible and hang upside so thc drains into buds? Or does that do no good?

 

[Gramps]

The THC is where it's going to stay. The longer the stock, the longer the drying time. Leave enough to hang it with as this is your "indicator" of dryness. When they break and not bend, it's time to trim.

 

[Gramps]

Those are some nice looking plants! I moved my first to flower and it's grown brown spots on many of the leaves. Still looks good, but not as nice.

 

[Gramps]

the trichome will indicate when its time to harvest, but I can't remember what to look for.

Clear = too soon as the THC hasn't formed. White = higher THC and a head high. Amber = a more relaxing body high (I believe the CBD traits are higher here). About 50% white/amber is supposedly the best time. Of course you can harvest a single plant a little at a time and test for yourself - cut some in white, some at 50/50, and some mostly amber and see what's what. That's my plan.

Cool, thanks @Gramps.
