Swollen calyxes are always a general sign of maturity yes. But you have to take everything into account. There are 3-4 telltale signs which I mentioned above; Swelling of calyxes. Receding pistils. Trichomes degrading (amber trichomes signal degradation process and loss of potency). And the...

Every variable should be taken into account. Swelling of calyxes. Receding pistils. Trichomes. And the overall look of the entire plant (or at least branch sections). I value calyxes and trichomes most though, but calyxes are often very reliant on the particular strain where as the state of...

You should never follow a prescribed grow period. Always go with what the plant tells you, it'll let you know. And more importantly, every plant reacts differently and variables are different in grows, I've seen "9" week strains go 15 weeks +. It's all about how you grow the plant and the...

The pistils have nothing to do with THC. When amber trichomes appear they signal the degradation of THC into CBN, which means a loss of about 90% potency (some researchers say 260% loss). You need to take all the things into account; pistils receding, calyxes swelling, trichomes turning amber...

By the looks of it the plant has at least 2 weeks more to go. Calyxes don't look swollen and the pistils haven't receded.

tip top toker is speaking the truth.

You were making fun of another user, calling him an idiot and lol'ing at his statements. Without any reason to, he had done nothing to you or anyone else. Then he spoke up against your idiocy and I called you out on your ridiculous behavior and you now try to play the victim. You are a joke...

I'm deleting your comments because you insist on behaving like a child and taking it off topic. Calling me a faggot, is not 'proving me wrong'. That just gets your posts deleted.

I start putting my weed into jars and curing around 65%-70% RH. Last time I did a weight test the buds lost about 9% of the weight from 68% RH to 58% (when I stored them). I'm not sure why you don't mention at what RH level you started measuring and what the level you brought the weed to was...

Yet somehow you found time to write numerous other posts on various parts of the forum in the meantime. So I'll take that for what it is, a poor excuse from a liar. Yeah, cause all growers know how to grow right? :lol: Why do you think we even use science in the first place? And since you are...

This thread was started in 2008 and bumped just now when it was nearly a year old (based on latest comment). I wouldn't expect anyone to write in this thread anymore. People usually don't bump year old threads.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Do I delete it or do we deserve some comedy in H&C?

That doesn't make much sense. CBN is not the best cannabinoid for pain relief. THC, CBG, CBD and CBC all reduce pain relief more so than CBN does. CBD reduces spasm, no pain in particular, but it still is a better pain reliever than CBN. THC is the main pain reducing cannabinoid, the other...

People can do what they want but it's sort of depressing to see how many ignorant people are out there. It doesn't really impact our grows or our mindset but it's somewhat funny and ridiculous at the same time. Maybe someday they'll taste properly grown weed harvested @ peak potency, and it'll...

It's not the first time I've lol'ed on this forum. But I fucking had to lol because of the ridiculousness of the statement. I mean 0.01% :lol: where the hell did he get that number from? It's blatantly made up. So you can't use a smartphone or get a new cam? I think you should if you can afford it.

Exactly, I spotted quite a few clear trichs as well. If they had let it go a couple of weeks longer trichs would be better and calyxes would probably be more swollen. The bud doesn't look particularly airy though and probably does the trick still.

First of all, welcome to RIU :weed: Good to see an old timer starting his first grow. The best way of long term storing is to vacuum seal the weed in blacked out bags, in a steady temp & RH leveled, dark room. The worst enemies of weed with regards to storing are: moisture, heat, air &...

You recommend testing, yet don't explain what kind of test, which would only have taken you a couple more words. I'm not sure what you mean by "tric. hype". I haven't heard that expression before. Nobody is hyping trichomes. 0.01% THC degrade or upgrade? What are you talking about? If you...

That's incorrect. Amber trichomes contain CBN, the degradative product of THC. No. THC is not the substance which determines whether you get an energetic high or a couch-lock high. The phenotype determines that, but I won't go into that now. THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid in...

You're still quite a bit time away from peak potency. The calyxes don't look swelled, in fact calyx formation doesn't seem very prevalent. Pistils don't look to be retracting yet either, you can see they haven't changed colour fully yet. If I have to guess, 3-4 weeks left still, at least...
