Gerneral consensus on harvesting...wrong?

Noob question here. How do I grow an Internet and when is it ready?

I'm sure I've already told the story of buying someone's "premature" weed, doing a basic post harvest treatment, involving heat light and nutrition, not moisty packs and refrigerators. Selling it back to the growers for twice the price, so I won't go into details.

Wait, you poured some fertilizer over dried buds and placed an incandescant bulb atop of it to make it grow better?

Dispensary weed sucks because it's sprayed with shit every week and fed a horrible diet that fucks up secondary metabolism start to finish. Fact is most strains don't need longer than 8 weeks when grown properly. Meaning no calnit buds.. Another fact is most home grown weed is not great weed. It WAS, 30 years ago. Not today. Gee, wonder what technological advancements have changed the way cannabis is grown the past 30 years.. Fuckin Al Gore..


"Amber" trichs are no different than "amber" leaves. Crusty emaciated PKMgSB deficient light-fried crap. Taco leafed burnt margin crud. If you can snap a sugar leaf in half at harvest, you grow crap. Don't be mad at me I don't sell shitty fertilizer to everyone and spread nonsense to dodge the fact that pot experts running pot fertilizer companies are not knowledgeable or honest about the most important aspect of growing: Nutrition. Watch a hundred random potcasts on how to increase quality. Refrigerators, humidifiers, magnifying glasses, new seeds, cannabis prayer mats. Not one mention of potassium lol.

Ponder: Why does leaf get amber trichs before calyx? Same reason "fade" is a thing perhaps? Nutrients leaving the leaves because you're under feeding finish nutes. No one's "fade" seems to include -nitrogen anymore lol. Do you think fuckin up nutrients to fry a plant and turn its trichs brown is somehow speeding up harvest? Then rush it to darkness to keep the brown trichs from turning... ...brown? And refrigerate it to sustain the emaciated mess? Grow forum logic literally makes no sense.

Curing is a myth around these parts because all the weed is pre-fried and kept wet to compensate for the fact that metabolism isn't continuing after harvest. Everyone seems to admit their leaves are dark as fuck but does nothing to address the major nutrient imbalance. Nuts.

If you refrigerate your weed before the 1 year mark, you have no valid input on growing. Most pot growers are delusional sheep. Sorry. Most would get swastika tattoos if their favorite celebrity youtube grower announced he was a nazi. I've given up on my kids generation. Maybe the internet will go down (please Russia) and my grandkids will be able to have logical conversations with plant growers (actual oldest profession on earth, not prostitution you pervs).

I'm sure I've already told the story of buying someone's "premature" weed, doing a basic post harvest treatment, involving heat light and nutrition, not moisty packs and refrigerators. Selling it back to the growers for twice the price, so I won't go into details.

I harvest clear sugary smelling trichs. Curing turns them milky and acidic, and strain specific, no reggie terps or botanical vape pen terps allowed. I grow weed for people who like weed. I never see amber and never want to. Yall internet folk should smoke out a blind man some day. Or simply anyone who isn't preconditioned by the legal era Cannabis dogma priests.


Let's back up and ask that one basic question again.. Why do pot growers who believe in amber trichs and don't understand flushing, rush their plants to darkness immediately after chop? Are they afraid the light is going to burst their photosynthesis factories into flames? No. It's because their shit is emaciated and they subconsciously know it's already been fried by light due to poor nutrition. Magnesium Boron Potassium deficiency is the sole reason for light burn. Everyone seems to use calnit until harvest and lock those out. The "flush everything or nothing" crowds have no understanding. They all over value their own weed,keep it wet pretend it's dank. Honestly kinda funny how everyone thinks their own weed is the best when most home grown is not different from the dispo shit. Just a little wetter usually lol. And maybe half the pesticides?

You haven't explained why only the clear trichs "evolve", but the cloudy trichs don't "evolve" into amber.

dank'd said:

op is actually correct. thc and cbd levels begin to drop earlier than typical harvest times

the phosphorous myth is also now getting more attention after decades of bro science and industry scams

letting plants go through dry stress to improve thc and cbd production is also a myth, as is letting plants go through a few days/nights of frost

I only had clears and a couple anbers when harvested. 8 days later I have cloudy and amber. Read it again. Perhaps the cycle is complete after the dry?

I harvested a few branches to test.. upon harvest I had a couple amber and the rest clear. After a 7 day dry in the cannatrol, they are SOLID milky, with a couple Amber's.

What you said was:



So again, you didn't say amber increased only that the clear turned cloudy. If they continued to mature, why no additional amber?

So you're saying that only the clear trichs "evolve", but the cloudy trichs don't "evolve" to amber. Correct? Yes amber trichs have less thc and more CBD. The CBD helps temper the jittery high you get from clear trichs. Many people prefer the less jittery high, it's a yin and yang thing.
