I have two *very* basic but unrelated q’s that I cannot resolve despite searching.
First, when I look at a dry bud and see labels claiming THC is 20% or so, it doesn’t make sense. I’ve always assumed the % refers to the weight of THC as a percentage of total dry bud. Covered in crystals or not, I can’t imagine that 1/5th of the bud’s weight is THC. So… is the stated percentage actually the % of THC relative to just the other cannaboids or something, and not the percent weight of everything?
Second q: when putting nutrients in water prior to a watering plus fertilizer session, how long should I wait before measuring pH and TDS? I’m often pressed for time so I typically shake the container after adding everything and make my measurements then. But, even with liquid or fine powder additives, it would seem that the chemical reactions and so on do not happen instantly. So, when’s the best time to measure … ten minutes, two hours, a full day?
pls be kind. I’m a newbie and have pneumonia.
