Hello denizens, So there's abundant evidence that CBD has analgesic effects: from both animal studies with rats and mice and also from medical cannabis users. CBD binds to, and activates, our endogenous opioid receptors, and this fact both explains and somehow 'justifies' the assertion of...

Hi there Denizens, Normally, when growers grow an auto strain, they kill the plant at the first harvest. This is because enthusiastic growers, keen to maximise their yield, harvest both the flowers and the leaves. If growers harvested only the bud, and left the leaves in tact, then the plant...

Thanks SonsOfAvery, (I like your 'knowledge is power' icon) I had also wondered if it might be the very opposite of 'inbreeding depression'. I'd like to offer these simple perspectives: (1) Inbreeding is deadly (from a gene's point of view): From the perspective of both: (a) individual genes...

Hey there Vostock, Interesting idea....I hadn't considered the trichome "dust" angle. That sounds like it has promise.... ... do trichomes decompose to dust ? ...whilst in a grow room ? I can imagine that trichrome _decomposition_ occurs during drying and curing. (I'm sure lots of growers...

Hi Dr. I agree completely. And i'm told that, down the coal mines, of the North East and Wales they now use electronic methane detectors; they're much more sensitive than canaries,.... apparently. So I presume it must be possible to do the same thing for aromatic compounds... like pinene...

Hello Denizens, I find this whole topic of F1 Hybrid Vigour, particularly interesting. I understand what F1 Hybrid Vigour is, as a description of its effect. And I understand under what circumstances it will happen. What i don't understand, is 'why' ? Why does F1 Hybrid Vigour occur ? The...

Hi there Dankest Hours, Yesterday i got through watching a presentation by Prof Dennis Todd on cannabis genetics and true-breeding strains. He starts his presentation (which is available on youtube ) by saying that he recently spent $150 buying 'supposedly' high CBD strains from...

Hi there, The Introduction: One of the problems with an indoor, at home, grow. Is that you fail to notice, or underestimate, the way cannabis stinks. The smells that are ever present, somehow become invisible. I guess it's a bit like the guy that has body odour ... on the train/bus/tram/plane...

Hi there, I'm seeking your advice. I'm looking for cannabis seeds which are high in CBD but which are also related to one of the dwarf, fast maturing, lowryder strains. Thank you very much for your help Have a nice day :-) regards Cryptolab email: 53cr37(at)cryptolab_dot_net
