awhile back I started a thread that got locked, though it was not my intention their were folks that said I came off as a dick and for that I apologize. Perhaps I tried to hard to prove my point?

I would like to ask that you go there and read the whole thread, yeah it's rough but there are tidbits of great info in it !!!
https://www.rollitup.org/t/if-your-a-new-grower-youre-gonna-wanna-see-this.828754/

it's only 10 pages, so does not take a lot of time and once you have read it and seen the pics, perhaps we can have a discussion/debate with less aggravation?

I have bred 3 strains that do this and I (just today) have ordered a microscope camera and a THC test kit so I can take better pics of the amber trics and test them for CBN's.

You will see some of the research I found posted in that thread, I have tons more but what boils down to is that over the last decades breeders have been breeding the CBD's out of strains with the notion that more THC is a good thing, I on the other hand have spent the last 5 years breeding the CBD's back in and I believe this is why I get the early amber. Because I am interested in both the medical aspect and the old time high that is missing from todays strains I carefully picked older 80's strains to begin my breeding program which included a landrace thai and a landrace afghani.

It seems that current research into the Entourage Effect ,,,,,,,

which has discovered it is a combination of THC, CBD and the terpenes that give our plant its best medical qualities also explains why pot has changed over the years.

There was a really good discussion that was somewhat similar here at RIU a few years ago,,,,,
https://www.rollitup.org/t/new-high-times-suggests-harvesting-earlier-riu-rejoice.401972/
again, it is best to read the whole thread (11 pages) about how (and why) the strains have changed and how the interpretation of the amber trics has changed as well.

If after reading this stuff we could have a discussion that would be great !!!

Some good news when it comes to understanding how THC degrades, Some researchers set a standard for forensic scientists to determine how to determine the age of an MJ sample by the CBN's

They also determined that THC degrades into 3 different things with CBN being one, they saw that the diminishing % of THC was not equal to the increase in CBN and then isolated two new acids.

They said there was no CBN's found in fresh material, that The biggest decrease occurs in the first year and then it slopes off with the average being a 7% increase in CBN each year.

mostly caused by exposure to oxygen this tells us that for any long term storage we should use cryovac

The study,,,,

Yet another good read on the subject,,,,,

http://www.clear-uk.org/the-importance-of-matured-cannabis/

This one makes good sense to me for 2 reasons, one I have seen a lot of cut early buds comin out of the dispensaries and 2 we have had one guy kill his wife and himself and another guy jump off a building in the last several weeks (here in Colorado) which they are blaming on pot that was "too racy" comparing it to meth
