Trichomes & Harvesting

Question: On the first page of this thread it shows a chart that i have attached here. It shows that thc degrades to cbn but that cbc and cbd do not degrade. So if you were to try and harvest buds to have a high cbd content with minimal thc, would it work to simply let the plant go longer until the thc degrades, or would that cbn then give you a sickly high and it wouldn't really help the effect of the cbd at all?

That is not related to harvesting.

I'm asking if it is possible to harvest with degraded thc without problems. That is very related to harvesting.

You would have a hard time reaching that point with a living plant. Harvest would be long over before that THC degraded enough to leave "low" levels behind.
Synthesis is caused by enzymes. Degradation is caused by heat, or time.

i'm not trying to be nosey, but what kind of health problems preclude the use of thc?

mental health issues. It isn't very fun to "trip out" these days. I try to keep my mind as still as I possibly can

even at only around 60 days of flower UNTIL I saw these what appear new pistils

yikes! on one hand I want to get em done and dried and put away in cure before the 4th July ( in laws coming into town) on the other hand I was hoping the buds would swell up some more
thanks rm3 I like your threads
I guess the 70-80 day thing for flower may not apply to these stressed out girls, which is fine
gonna do the drowning method that you wrote about in the past
lots of Amber anyways
BTW for some reason I gave em a shot of Epsom salts and mollases
yesterday cuz I really thought I kick em into overdrive.
I hope I didn't mess up considering I will start the harvest today, first grow jitters
thanks rm3 I like your threads

thanks ! I just got off another thread " the truth about flushing"
I got to page 19 or so and was convinced to try the drowning method
But then I jumped to last pages where riddle has now switched to boiling water method to kill roots
because of mold issues
I live in the desert with low low humiidty I don't think I'll have a problem just cold water drowning vs boiling water, I may not even do either... just chop and hang in my drying box and just cure longer
time not on my side thanks again rm3

i was just sitting here looking at pics and it occured to me that we ought to be more careful about casual things, R2B lives somewhere close to quartz hill and tehachipi in california, and either that picture was taken sometime around the end of june in 2015 or he saves newspapers.
i'm not the most observant person in the world, wonder what they could deduce
