What is your biggest question about growing cannabis?

@tyler_hobbyist If the plant you are growing does not have the genetic phenotype to turn a particular colour then you will not see that colour. If you add something to change a plant to a certain colour then all you are really doing is applying a colouring agent. Think about it the same as with milk. Milk is naturally white but if I add food colouring to it Then you can get any colour you want, but you have only changed its appearance and nothing else
 
Is it true that you can use a green light during the dark period as to not upset the plant's "sleep/awake" cycle? I mean for short periods of poking around the tent, not on all the time.
 
That's a gd theroy growmore but dyes and coloring agents don't work in that way with canabis u can't just add it to the water or cut the stem and add the coloring the plant doesn't obsorb the coloring. Also the purplemaxx nutrient is a clear liquid.
 
Yes. But I've heard green CFls make light we perceive as green but it emits other wavelength protons as well. So if you want to get a green light get a led light with specific light spectrum so you can be sure it doesn't mess with the plant
 
U could aslo make oil with butane or everclear. Butane method is better lol u could also make shadder if u have the cooker if not the cookers are very exspencive
 
Ok how do you make high thc and high cbd oil. Does cbd come out in say a coconut oil extraction? Or after making dry ice kief do/can you go back and run that through oil to remove cbd? Or am I misunderstanding the process (most likly option) I also have my oldest daughter at 18 wants to try a 1-1 for her adhd and anxiety, Neither of us wants her smoking lol so Edibles or caps.

thank you I love this thread!
 
Through my readings and experience the oils and resins that are extrected through making butter, and oils is that it binds with the fat molecule, hence a fat soluble drug. The Oils and butter are ecellent for baking. Just sustitute for reg butter in recipe.
I made RSO (very different from butter) and was very successful and yileded about 3cc's from about 1/2 of prime trim. I did 2 evaporations with everclear as my medium, both cooked down for about 5 min a time. I read that a third and fourth pass would be obsolete. Your daughter is 18, an adult...She can take your advice but ultimatley its her decision.

Hope this helps
 
Yeah rso is something Im intrested in trying but saving to make til the lupus gets way worse. Ive been doing coconut oil cannacaps for 2 ish years but was just unsure about the cbd aspect, and honestly until I started growing couldnt have told you the difference between indica and sativa lol Let alone which strains would have cbd
So thoughts on if you removed everything with dry ice could you then make a stronger non pshyco active cbd oil?
 
Interesting question. I've never heard of anyone being able to seperate THC from CBDs. As far as I understand you get what the strain has been bred with. If looking for a high CBD strain try Charlotte's Web, Nebula CBD, Catatonic CBD, or Supreme CBD Durban to name a few.
 
tyler_ hobbyist I've done some research into what makes flowers turn the colors they do, and I found an interesting article about how a group of scientists were able to alter the genes of roses in order to produce a rose with blue hues (which they never naturally show in the wild): https://academic.oup.com/pcp/article...d-Biosynthetic

Apparently there's tons of genes that we know of that affect flower color. One of the pigments that gives a blue or purple hue is called an Anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are already located in the plant, but the idea is you want more Anthocyanin than chlorophyll (which makes buds or leaves appear green).

So in the experiment they altered the genes of the rose to express more of a blue color by getting the roses to produce more delphinidin which turns into the pigment Anthocyanin. They did this by altering a gene so it produced more of the Flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase (often referred to as F3'5'H).

Producing more of the flavonoid F3'5'H caused the plant to produce more delphinin, which turned into red-blue Anthocyanin. Anthocyanin turns blue if it's exposed to a high-pH environment in the plant tissue.

It makes me wonder if giving the flavonoid F3'5'H directly to the plant (either through the roots or foliar spray) may alter the color of the flowers by increasing the amount of delphinidin being produced. Or maybe you could even give the plant delphinidin directly.

I also found out that the pH of the flowers or plant tissue had an effect on the final color, which I found very interesting. Apparently delphinidin is a natural pH indicator, sort of like the drops we use to test pH. If it's in a basic/alkaline environment it turns blue, and in an acidic environment it turns red. I have no idea what changes the pH within the flower tissue, and I doubt it's as direct as changing the pH of the roots, but you need both an acidic flower environment and plenty delphinidin in order to get the blue/purple to show.

Just as a side note, I tried to find out what's in Purple Maxx (which you were saying turned your stems purple). I found this Youtube video from a nutrient supplier, which says Purple Maxx has two active ingredients: Methyl jasmonate and Triacontanol. It also has Potassium Hydroxide listed as an ingredient on the label.
