    Don't underestimate Reptiles AKA UVB

    I got a tanning bed to try first (See lab test results, posted above), but now I am experimenting with bulbs that go into regular shoplight fixtures, up to 40w ballast, from tanninglamps4less.com. It will still be a month before I can get new samples to the lab. I know when I looked at reptile...

    Cool, thx! Now...how do you keep it from drying out too quickly, without having it mold? Or do you dry it , say, half way & Then cure slowly over time? (The time I tried it several years ago, I saw a mold issue)

    Burning it is how we decarboxylate,... keep it in the dark if you cure that long...ever tried it?

    Don't underestimate Reptiles AKA UVB

    The only thing I remember advocating a longer cure, was the Cannabible II. They claimed a 4+ month cure developed more and varied terpenes, giving it better smell & taste, like aging a fine wine...I swore it was a typo (4 MONTHS!?) until I saw it was consistent through 4 or 5 times mentioned in...

    Ok, Hyroot...I googled the first part & got your Spanish seed co.! Cannatonic strain, & Love their chart! Talk about variation from plant to plant! But amazing levels of cbd, still having close to 10% THC along with it in some cases! Thanks! Good luck with yours!

    Over the years, I thought it was: harvest 'early' = relatively more THC vs other cannabinoids (not just cbd), supposedly resulting in clearer, cerebral high. Harvest 'late'= relatively more cannabinoids vs THC (including cbn, the cannabinoid that THC becomes after light exposure), resulting in a...

    Should I just Google that whole sentance? (Pardon my ignorance, nl*) *nervous laugh

    Don't underestimate Reptiles AKA UVB

    Yes, though 'high' is a relative term, & medical strains much over 2-3% are rare(unless, maybe, their THC% is much lower?) I have heard there is work going on to increase CBD, but it requires a corresponding decrease in THC since Dr. Mechoulem? determined both are synthesized in the acid form in...

    Note: the lab measures both delta9-THC in the stable form ( THC ) And THCa ( the acid form )...but decarboxylation causes a 12.3 % weight loss, so Max THC=0.877xTHCa+THC

    Per Ed Rosenthal's book: I tried to augment one 1000w HPS with 100w of UVB tanning light for last 2 weeks of flowering. However, I only had a 600w tanning bed, so it was on for 2 hours during the 12 hour 'on' cycle of HPS. 'Shocking the monkey' definitely produced a statistically significant...

    Hey GD Purp, uncle Tom here..I'm an old man, & in h/s & college in '70's, "we dint have no stinkin internet!" We had to look it up in encyclopedias/libraries or in High Times mag! Well, they Used to say, "Don't let too many get amber because that means THC production has peaked & is now...

    THC vs CBD

    Hey topfuel, FYI: it's actually CBG-a that synthases to Either CBD or delta-9 THC (both in acid form still) ...then THC breaks down to CBN. (Per Dr. Mechoulem, the discoverer of THC) See my posts under 'tutankhamon' for ex. of lab sheets testing potency. (Got Chen data/info from them) good luck...

    Besides, "early" for a sativa could still be more calendar days than an indica!

    Tutankhamon - Pyramid Seeds. Anyone got the low down?

    Nice pics blazin! Mine look very much like that (just cannot post pics from mobile) Crazy to hear 'sativa' effects, when it is advertised as indica dominant...just further proof they really Are all hybrids and you can get an outlier anytime, huh? I told them they should tell the Spaniards Not to...

    Tutankhamon - Pyramid Seeds. Anyone got the low down?

    U bet rippn! I am searching, just like you...and the lab Did tell me that the highest flower they had measured was 32%, however, they were not forthcoming with strain name! (I Will ask point blank next time I'm in there) Again, I can't really trash Tut, other than their questionable...
