Time, heat, and light will do it just like decarbing but apparently you can also turn CBG into either THC or CBD. The chemistry is over my head.How you turn thc to cbn?

Then why was CBN the first cannabinoid discovered, back in the 1890s. Took another 75 years to discover THC and more for CBD? And, isn't CBG the precursor of both THC and CBD so seems to me an early harvest would net a lot of CBG before it changed to one or the other? I probably don't know what I'm talking about.
CBGa is immediately gobbled up by active THCa, CBDa, or CBCa synthases as soon as it is created. Significant CBGa accumulation only occurs when those other synthases are extremely weak or totally defective.
The metaphor I use to describe cannabinoid accumulation is a pipeline, for both quantity and chemotype, as opposed to a reservoir.
SE:
So is it safe to safe that in selecting for plants high in CBG we are looking for a mutation that causes a defect in the synthases of THCa, CBDa, and CBCa? That being said the defect or mutation allows CBGa to accumulate to higher than normal levels rather than to be converted to THCa, CBDa, or CBCa...?
Just started the process of growing hemp.
Have someone who will supply the seeds and I am planning on planting an acre. I am running across clay. When I do the mason jar test after the first 24 hours it read that I have 40% clay, 48 hours later it was only 27% roughly. What do I trust? Should I just get a sample done of the soil? I cant risk this venture failing at all.
Another thing is that if I have clay at 40% cant I just till in about 12 inches down in rows and simply add topsoil and mix it in my rows?
The seeds I am going to get are only suppose to grow 4 feet high. So how strong would the roots get?
The other thing is, off of an acre which will be roughly 1500 plants, how much CBD hypothetically could be extracted from 1500 plants
It certainly does, this is the thread: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=324366Seed separation...man, that needs a whole separate thread
