In the news: Study finds that how we judge weed's potency is wrong

I'm familiar with the entourage effect and also the lack of it. I bought some stuff called Robert Plant on my first visit to a Colorado dispensary that claimed to be high in THC but had nothing else going for it. I'd like to see studies to find out exactly how cannabinoids all work together so that a lab analysis of a particular variety can predict the effect that it will have on the human body and mind. Right now all we have is anecdotal evidence. I'd love it if a desired effect could be maximized by selective breeding guided by a mathematical model of what a theoretical cannabis plant's ideal chemical profile might be for producing that effect. Genetically speaking, it would still be breeders figuratively throwing darts at a board but now they would be throwing them with the lights on.
 
Couldn’t agree more, I guess just like with everything biological the key it’s understanding the source code.
 
Thanks for sharing that. It helps explain why so many of my favorite varieties always seem to have some Thai in them. Also explained is why most of the stuff I can get today tends to plateau out so you can keep smoking but the only effect is that you'll need another couple of hours to come down. I really really can't wait to get in another crop of Purple Haze. It's the only variety I've grown that has the trippy effects I like. It's also the one my friends hit me up for all the time.
 
I am considering getting a UV light to supplement the tent and hopefully trigger the creation of the THV needed for that 70's high we used to get from Hawaiian, some Thai stick and the odd other weed that came our way up North.
 
I tried using a set of blacklight LEDs made for posters. They didn't help. I later found out that those only emit UVA not the UVB that plants can use. Having UVB in the spectrum was one of the selling points for my new LED panel and it seemed to make a difference.
 
I would definitely put them outside in the sun if I could! Trouble is, the state is expecting them to be in a locked room in the basement and neighbors are too numerous and the yard is a bit small for that.
