Hi! Been growing a variety that is, according to the person i got it from, a cross between White Widow and a local industrial variety. Crossed up by someone looking to breed for the medical industry who wanted lower THC but higher CBD / CBN.
Have done a couple of grows and they don't frost up with trichomes anywhere near the extent that i have seen on pics of WWidow.
That said.
On smoking, a 3 paper joint of a 50/50 the bud / leaf mix that has cured for 6 months, including 1/3 tobacco to dilute, leave me very stoned and often needing to be prone and comatose a hour or two.
Leaf smoked on its own is a nice mild buzz. Have been doing tinctures. 4g buds to 25ml Ethanol. 4 drops of that in a bucket of coffee nice buzz for a couple of hours and sleep well.
This variety tends to go short and bushy under lights...which is good. Seems to work well for LST. I now have a decent stock of fresh seeds that are female (pollen derived from females that went hermie. Got 20/20 females out of the last germination for the current grow.
There is no way i can buy seeds online because of my location and circumstance. But, this variety seems to be working fine for me so thats no prob.
Anyway...rambling....
What i am after is some method to work out % THC? There are meters out there but way to many $ for me. Gas Chromatograph analysis is the definitive way to go but don't know anyone who can do that discretely. Most of the test kits i have seen online are presence / absence of cannabis only. If i can get an analysis of the tincture i make i can work backwards to get total THC for the plant.
Anyhow, just puttin it out there if anyone has any ideas on how to get a realistic figure for this, without going the GC route.
Seeyahs!
