Ocimene
Aroma: floral
Also found in: pepper, mango, mint, oregano, basil, parsley, celery leaf, tarragon and lavender
Medicinal properties: anticonvulsant, antiviral, anti inflammatory, antitumor and antifungal properties
Ocimene has a fresh, floral aroma with woody notes, and is suggested as a potential use in seizure-related conditions such as epilepsy, inflammation and different types of cancer. Ocimene is also used in honey bee colonization to regulate social interactions of bees.
Don’t be surprised if you’ve heard it mentioned a time or two with respect to “cannabis honey,” however this lies on the assumption that the bees collect resin from the plant instead of nectar.
Strains that are often high in Ocimene are White Fire OG, Chocolope, Dutch Treat, Super Lemon Haze, Purple Haze, Arjan's Haze #3, Amnesia, Strawberry Cough, Golden Goat, Space Queen, or Himalayan Gold.
@Ultraviolet, it looked a bit pink-ish to me. Some photographers use wavelengths during the shot that bring out certain features. The composite photos made out of different wavelengths are quite pretty.
@NegotiatedBubble, Urm I harvested the main flowers and left a few popcorn nugs at the bottom of the plant then put it back to veg, the bottom pictures are taken under a full spectrum lighting 400-700nm, heavily damaged from UV exposure PH tomfoolery.
An excellent article on Blue.
Many Thanks. Since I started playing with the other colours its nice to see the info getting out there. I'm completely convinced with adding more of the spectrum.
I would love to see a well controlled comparative grow between with and without adding the blue or extra colours using a typical grow light like from Spider Farm or similar as a base.
And thanks for all the links to those papers.
@TheFattyMcCoy, These are some clones from a previous grow, was meant to be a comparison between monster-cropped clones at varying stages of flower but they at this stage are growing equally well I can't tell the difference tbh.
