Cleaning up the plants a bit. Took some clippings so I can get some photos; feeling euphoria from handling it. Like an unopened present to a child.

!! It does. Still an early cutting. Several weeks to go on that plant; I tried to show how sticky she was by balancing the little bugger on my finger tip.

You're making me want to try my luck at a landrace again. I'm all indoors though.

Ha ha! I think things might go better now that I'm into organics it might be worth a try again.

Abstract:
Red-stemmed plants are extremely common, yet the functions of cauline anthocyanins are largely unknown. The possibility that photoabatement by anthocyanins in the periderm reduces the propensity for photoinhibition in cortical chlorenchyma was tested for Cornus stolonifera. Anthocyanins were induced in green stems exposed to full sunlight. PSII quantum yields (ФPSII) and photochemical quenching coefficients were depressed less in red than in green stems, both under a light ramp and after prolonged exposures to saturating white light. These differences were primarily attributable to the attenuation of PAR, especially green/yellow light, by anthocyanins. However, the red internodes also had less chlorophyll and higher carotenoid:chlorophyll ratios than the green, and when the anthocyanic periderm was removed, small differences in the ФPSII of the underlying chlorenchyma were retained. Thus, light screening by cauline anthocyanins is important, but is only part of a set of protective acclimations to high irradiance. Hourly measurements of ФPSII on established trees under natural daylight indicated a possible advantage of red versus green stems under sub-saturating diffuse, but not direct sunlight. To judge the wider applicability of the hypothesis, responses to high light were compared for red and green stems across five further unrelated species. There was a strong, linear, interspecific correlation between photoprotective advantage and anthocyanin concentration differences among red and green internodes. The photoprotective effect appears to be a widespread phenomenon.

Why some stems are red: cauline anthocyanins shield photosystem II against high light stress

Plants often secrete a sticky film when their stems or leaves are cut. This latexy stuff is often white or clear fluid comprised of many things. In veg, when u cut at her she bleeds a dark purple/red color instead of the common clear.

a sample, quicc dried but still slightly dank - enough to burn & I'm lifted once again. Very refreshing indeed & always clean.

Thank u my friend! I wish I could pass it because I cannot put it into words - I didn't get blasted - my tolerance is quite high. Maybe it was the timing of me smoking or not but I had a small laughing spell because of something someone said on here about peat moss and coco... lol! I really don't laugh all that much.
But really, the smoke was phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal & that is from a quickly dried sample. Only did this way because I was anxious to try the flavor again.. I looked at the plant several times throughout the day trying to find the ripest flowers.
I will hold off until a final cut & cure to really judge it completely. But I am really very happy right now

For how much amber do you settle? Maybe still too many clear ones are responsible for the mediocre effect.
although it's been funny as of late... not laughing and smoking? that's hard to imagine, I tend to get rather silly after the second roll. I guess a weed forum is the last haven which would tolerate me... and not even that at all times XD

Absolutely ; I have to agree that the quicc dry on these samples was probably about 50/50 clear and cloudy with only a sprinkle of amber resulting in a 50/50 potential. Not even in the harvest window on the top calyx. I more so wanted the flashback of taste and a quick jolt of energy away from the OG's I have been smoking. When it's all said and done I'm at a very high % of amber on most strains. It's funny you ask because this is the reason I would eventually start growing - a world full of early crops!
Yes it's true. I have my moments though
Happy Friday 2 u!!
