THC A -> THC
Organic_Gstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hallo Freunde,
Ich habe meine Blüten am Sonntag Abend geerntet.
Das Graß ist noch nicht ganz Trocken um es problemlos rauchen zu können.
Habe gelesen das THC A sich zu THC umwandelt und Psychoaktov wird, bedeutet es das das Weed noch potenter wird mit der Zeit?

The trichomes and the THC they contain do degrade and oxidize over time. This is why you cure and store in a sealed, dark container to minimize the decay. So, you are correct that it does change over time just not the "high" portion.
The conversion to a psychoactive form is largely a product of temperature and how long it is held at that high temperature. Most information I have read lists 80c (176f) as the lower end for this conversion. This is why you heat (decarboxylate) the weed before making edibles. Even cooking doesn't heat it hot enough for long enough time so it is done as a separate step. Smoking and vaporizers work by heating the flower. The intense heat of burning almost immediately makes the conversion while in a vaporizer at a low temperature may take a few seconds.
Curing is a totally different process and does not significantly affect the psychoactivity. It can have a huge impact on flavor, aroma and long term storability... but not the high.

Sure thing, proper drying and curing is a key for potent and tasty smoke.

10-14 in a dry tent. After that you'll be able to smoke some without any issues. But a minimum 2 week cure will give you a much more enjoyable smoke

I've contemplated this many a times. what I have found is that yes, in short. but is it the actual thc getting stronger? or is it the smoke of cured bud that much more enjoyable making the high more enjoyable? I do not have the exact answer from science. but from experience letting it cure definitely makes the high more enjoyable, and it does seem to make the weed slightly stronger. im only 6 grows in tho so im still learning to cure properly becuz im usually to impatient. but I will say 100 % you can make amazing bud some reggie by curing it wrong.

Ergänzungen :
Die Wirkung ist nicht ganz wie gewünscht und ich frage mich, ob das Curing die Wirlung noch positiv beeinflussen wird, da ich auch gelesen habe das THC A durch Hitze ( beim Rauchen ) zu THC umgewandelt wird.
Würde dies nicht der Wirkung gleich kommen auch wenn der THC a Anteil über die Zeit zu THC wird ? Oder verändert es sich noch im laufe des Curings zum positiven?
Das Aussehen und die Trichome haben sich über die letzten Tage etwas verändert als zu Beginn der Ernte.

Week 3 flower brown pistils tipHigh GD community,
Can someone help me with this one. Ive got brown tips on the pistils, week 3.5 of flower. I did crank up the light output a few days ago. They are still at a 50 to 55 cm away from the light. Odd thing is, the closest 1 isnt browning in the pistils.
🙏🍀

NL Auto Day 56 — after major nutrient imbalance: I don’t know how to rehabilitate or determine when ready to flush and harvest... Suggestions for a n00I committed a n00b mistake & got the nutes all outa whack during bloom. Now the fan leaves are yellowing and brittle. The stigmas are also turning orange, but I don’t see ANY amber trichs — maybe just burned? I fed again, but don’t know how to tell when to flush for harvest. THX!

Looking for some advice on harvesting this girlJust looking for some advice on harvesting really. Looking at the thrichs, I feel like harvesting now might be a bit early. I think she suffered badly from heat stress. if it were yours, would you cut your losses and move on? She's at about Day 64(ish) from seed.

Hermied or just a fat calyx?I've pulled about 10 of these off my plant this morning and there may have been more that I missed.
They were all at the bottom of the flowers on nodes along the main branches. It's RQS Speedy Chile in week 7 of flower. Some had a couple brown hairs coming out of the tip.
