Its not unusual to see this kind of color with bho. You probably grinded up the material to a powder before running. Its possible to remove discoloration, but you don't really have that much, so it would probably be a better use of time to just make some edibles with it.

Oxygen is an oxidizer which means is rips electrons from other molecules and causes chemical reactions. That's a very bad thing. You will degrade your cannabinoids and will create by--products.

The relative humidity in the freezer is close to zero. You're not going to pick up any water in the freezer but when you bring it out to evaporate off the alcohol it will pick up water from the air. It's not really a big deal at all. You can just pour off the white emulsion that forms with the...

Use n-Pentane! Its just like butane but has another methyl group which makes it boil at a higher temperature. I use a large 5L flask and a gallon of n-pentane. Let it soak and then recover your solvent with a standard distillation kit (they're cheap and very useful). The n-pentane is much...

I believe its because when you grind it you rupture the plant cells exposing chlorophyll. This makes it darker, and the increased surface area also probably picks up more waxes.

I believe most vertebrates have an endocannabinoid system whereas bugs do not. The plant produces THC in response to bugs not herbivores, although I would imagine most would be deterred. Another clue to this is that there is more THC produced on the trichomes which grow on the veins of leaves...

At this point I am stupid when it comes to genetics. That much I'll admit, but probably most ppl in this thread know a lot less than me. Wake up and realize that you don't know shit and maybe you'll start to learn something. Exactly! Besides the obvious mutations what about epigenetics?

That is most likely the monoterpenes being vaporized first. After the first couple of hits it usually becomes very smooth. Personally I believe that if it vaporizes then it is decarbed. THC-A bonds together so in order to vaporize it must break those bonds and the acetate is part of that. Don't...

oilmkr almost everything you say is fucking retarded. Everyone has had a good laugh at you and now you're just annoying. Go read a book.

Can you explain how that is possible or point me to a reference?

Tissue culture is just micro-cloning. It's more time consuming and expensive than regular cloning, but you can produce much more with less stock and you can remove disease and viruses. It really depends on which ones though because some are easy and others require more equipment, knowledge, and...

I think your friend is trying to say that there is too much variability in the genetics of cannabis. The strains get crossed so often that the phenotypes of a certain strain that made it popular might be rarely found in the offspring. Apple trees are the same. If you want a red delicious apple...

There is no black and white polar and non-polar, all of the terpenes would have some degree of solubility in water, but for the most part they are considered non-polar. Could you list some of the polar terpenes if you disagree?

The terpenes are nonpolar. They dissolve into the cannabinoids and give it the characteristic strain smell, but also make it sticky, sappy, runny, etc. Basically, shatter= no terps The concentrates market started to favor shatter because its stable and easy to handle. Terpenes were given up in...

When you don't have enough nutes the roots start searching and end up root bound in less time than normal.

That looks like phosphorous deficiency. The grow big is well balanced so I imagine you've just underfed them. The fact that its on the older leaves and you have been feeding plenty of Ca means that it is most likely a macronutirent problem. Try re-potting (if needed) and giving them 1.5x...

Plants mature and have a life cycle just like humans. The clone is already mature to a degree, whereas the seed starts as a baby and has to mature from there. The development of the plant is indicated by leaflet count. When its vegging it grows more leaflets, but once it starts flowering is...

Lowered nightime temps (behind genetics) are the most influential in purpling a plant. You're trying to mimic the natural seasonal progression though. "When a number of warm, sunny autumn days and cool but not freezing nights come one after the other, it's going to be a good year for reds. In...

Monster cropping is something to avoid. It causes imbalanced hormone levels in the plant and leads to unhealthy branching. All those branches compete with each other for light and stretch out causing leggy unhealthy growth. You'll eventually develop problems with bugs and mold if you don't...

I would probably only supplement during the last half of flowering. The microbes flourish with the excess sugars in the soil, but they play a critical role in making minerals available to plants. It is hypothesized that if excess sugars are provided perpetually the symbiotic microbes won't do...
