I have a C4 in late flower right now that reminds me VERY much of the SFV OGk. I mean, so much so that I would say there's no coincidence there at all. I grow both the SFV and the 4.

If someone loved the SFV but wanted a better yielder, Chem 4 is what they were after. I like the taste and high of the SFV better, but the C4 yields very, very well. ;)

what I think would be the easiest method (not the most accurate) would be measuring the percentage op THC in a certain amount of the resin. Aint this the way it is done? Offcourse it doesn't say anything about the quantity of resin compared to plant material so a plant with a high percentage and little resin could be weaker then a more frosty plant with a lower percentage.

I do think Smurfin Herb makes a few good points there to refine the system.
 
anybody who states that icmag saved their life is suspect ,,,,crack head...

English Rick can be counted on to add his worthless jibberish to just about any thread....

I doubt he actually even grows anything but moss in his belly button....
 
When they dont say what it is a percentage of makes it meaningless.Its like saying I got a 1/4 (25%) of weed.Is that alot of weed or not.

That is just straight Mickeymouse:laughing:, so stop hatin and Mickemousing around....

Go on wit you bad ass self Chem 4, you can't be stopped....:woohoo:

Last time I smoked Chem D, my measurometer in my brain said it 50% TCH, lol, TCH, lol..... as my measureometer was measuring that my thinkometer was say I am too Fuckin Foned..... heh heh!

Its called harborside health center not harborside highschool. Im hittin it right now and it is one of the strongest herbs ive ever experienced. 23.33 is where I like to be.
 
I got lost in that example.

a percentage of active ingredient is way different then a measurement of "Weight" of herb.

Still needs a percentage of what.They dont say is it by weight volume or ratio?As in beer is 9% alcohol by vol. Read the label or when you get a blood test you get how there testing it not just a number. Is it just the trichrome head the whole bud or what.Allso there is noway THC is 25% of any of those.Im not a hater. Just just never found anyone that knows what kind of a pecentage it is or what it means or how its done.Im willing to except anything that makes sence.

Hey cc,

I agree with your post although I have never grown the SFV, just seen it in flower. I think the c4 needs a bit long in flower though...it seems like it takes forever to pack on the wieght. Of course this is a c4 dominant corss, but crossed the the D bx2, so chem genetics nonetheless. I never knew how distinguishing the flower times were between the 4 and the d, one is mid 60s and the other late 70s, pretty big different IMO.

Nice nug BTW, little dark tho try taking a shot in like a ray of sunshine or some good light...

Im sure its not 100% accurate but what is these days. But it is a lab test. The sample amount is 2 grams and they test the boiling point of the thc...the higher the boiling point the higher the thc.
 
So they boil some shit then,?? I didn't think about that.... But hey I am not a chemist by any means, i got a C in Chemistry, lol... I sucked at it, and my teacher wasn't too helpful, she did what the Football coaches and Basketball coaches told her to do, and that was Pass the Jocks so they can play with Balls, hahaha balls....

I know I know, off topic, sorry dudes....

How do they differentiate between trichs full of thc, and those just starting to form thc, and those that have degraded past peak thc%? All trichs are not 100% thc.

exactly:yes:, i think the measurements are calculated estimates at best,
but 1 good thing about the measurements even if they aren't fully accurate is:
say for example patients who want a strain high in CBD, the medicine they choose based on the measurements (CBD in this case) can work along the lines of the placebo effect, it's the age old human fault - we'll embrace and accept any information if it's printed on a label presented professionally enough,
that's just my 2 pennies tho:joint:

peace

I think I know what rootsyle is trying to say. They probably do a distillation and measure the amount of THC compared to to the weight of the sample. Distillation is a process that uses the boiling point to seperate chemicals. (it doesn't mean the higher the boiling point, the more thc)

Hazeseeker you make a good point there. The placebo effect is imo one of the most important things in medications and drugs.

this is probably way wrong, but the simplest form i could ever imagine it would be the exact %amt of thc compared to the entire sample?

like if it says 20% thc, then if you took a bud of any size, grind it up, and divide it up into 5 piles.. (5*20=100) one pile would be approx. (just for visual purposes) the amt of thc content of the entire bud, if you could visually see it. but its distributed thruout the entire mass of the bud, so any one hit - 20% of the smoke would have thc burned in it. the rest maybe a mix of the other 400 chemicals..you'd have to do you divide piles up again on the left overs. again, and again ..pizza pies .. foood

but remember, thc ain't the only thing that makes it potent, its a combo of the other ones in relation to the thc. some have an effect to delay thc absorption to give you like a time release effect..etc, some amp it, some negate it. some add gravity, some add antigravity, lol.

but i can see if you collect only the trichs into a kief..you'd think maybe its pure thc, but inside each trich is some thc and other stuff, so you'd have to divide that up again into piles, to imagine the amount and then evenly distribute it over the entire amount your working with.

smoking pure trichs i've heard isn't sometimes as potent as the just bud matter. and hash smokers have told me some hash is weak (never done hash). doesn't mean a thing, its the whole profile that makes the end result.. not just any one chemical, altho thc (the 9 one) is probably would get the gold if you had to name the most active one.

feel free to school, cause i wanna know too.. especially if i'm thinking wrongly about it.

In a dispensary, are you allowed to crush a lil sample and dive in? The rule that I had when I was buying buds seems to hold now that I'm growing em - The smell is the tell. Even if I can't describe 'the' funk that gets me off, my brain recognizes it when I smell a smashed bud.
