Varying amounts of THC throughout the entire plant. Not sure about roots.

from my research , i have come to the conclusion that thc is ONLY produced in the trichomes. A sugar leaf has trichomes, that's what makes it a sugar leaf. The bud material does have a lot of thc because it has the highest concentration of trics a lot of the time the trics get squished on to the bud material during handling or grinding. And no there is no different concentrations of thc throughout the plant, maybe cbds cbns etc but not thc

It is an interesting question.
I was listening to dj short I think.
He stated the afghan indicas were best for making hash due to the trichome
While the sativas tend to ooze thc.
I dont know for sure but my sativa dom
has very little classic stalked trichomes
but still get you messed up.
Just not as impressive to look at.
Ill sub up here and read other peeps thoughts.
**H@Ck ALLeRt**
Any info I give is based on what I would be comfortable doing.
Please get other opinions.
In nature plants don't live in plastic buckets but at my house they do or they get the f**k out.

THC actually comes from the roots.
When people harvest, they foolishly throw away the majority of the THC, the roots.
THC COMES FROM THE ROOTS!
Next time you harvest, leave the roots on and dry the plant right side up. Also, make sure to boil the roots so the THC flows out of the roots and into the budz!!

very cool vid.
I think ill hang 1 reptile lamp from each
corner of my lights for a total of 8
Set the timer for a few hours a day.
I have a few strains im very familiar with
so I should easily spot a marked change.
Now I just gotta start collecting the lights.
I have heard enough times that this works that im inclined to believe.

Thc is only found in trichomes. There are several types of trichome found on every inch of the plant even in veg..
Geranyl pyrophosphate and a precursor to olivetolic acid react, a c12 (for pentyl) c10(for propyl)polyketide, catalysed by an enzyme to produce cannabigerolic acid,.
The production of Thc (and propyl)thcv cbdv cbd and cbc cbcv are controlled by 3 different enzymes
Thca synthase being the enzyme converting cbga to thc through an oxidative cyclization of the geranyl group on cbga(of course this is a bit simplified for y'all)
geranyl diphosphate + olivetolate <=> cannabigerolate + diphosphate
cannabigerolate + O(2) <=> Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinolate + H(2)O(2)
This combination can only occur within the secretory cavity of the trichome through vesicles..
In general secondary metabolites are toxic and must be held in a storage cavity to prevent cell death and indeed thca and cbga cause 100% cell death in 10 day old suspension cultured cannabis sativa cells at 50um. The cannabinoid precursors do not have this effect and some can be found in leaf material
The results of reverse transcription–PCR (RT–PCR) and heterologous expression suggest that THCA synthase is localized in the apoplastic space of the glandular trichome onlu
The trichomes themselves protect the plant as well as the terpenes inside. Thc acts as a defensive mechanism killing insect cells as well as the plants own cells.
Cannabinoids must be excreted into a cavity to protect the plant and provide its defenses
Oh and that dude is a moron lol I love his videos

I was extremely impressed with the dude
in the vid.
Ever smoked weed and remembered
all those big words.
