I dont fully understand this trich talk but it's very interesting and it's made me think,i bought a blackstar LED panel and among the red and blue LEDs theres also UV and infa red from what iv read,I wonder if thats why there included on my panel as it's a flowering panel,or maybe I'm way off the Mark lol just putting it out there:bong:


That is exactly why they are there, HPS and MH emit some UV rays but not a lot. i imagine that a LED emits little to none due to the fact its technically an electrical circuit. So they are there to assist in that.
 
Cheers FD,I'm way outa my league with the stuff you guys talk about lol but its nice to have an understanding of my equipment, and it makes a little more sence now..:booya:

and thats why we want to bring it to the main forum :thumbs: Sharing it only helps understanding it, or at least thats how i look at it.
but i can tell you the better you know your equipment the better you can dial things in.
 
Exactly bro it's all about the learning,knowledge is power & nicer budz :bong:
 
Here..I have just done some fresh ones for you....

Only one thing you can say about That plant..without seeing her is she is gonna Stink....

first photo has Multiple terps moving down the hair tricome...

and the one below..you can see the Bulge is enormous.

Even though it moves up around the outside of the tric..I do think it is kind of encapsulated...below the outer skin..at least until it reaches the top.

The THC trics LOOK..as if they are simply mini pumping stations..the nearest thing I can think they look like is a cross section of a dick..
they seem to have a tube up the middle..
sometimes you can See light coloured amber travelling Up the centre...to the Dome.

IMO..Bailer is right on the fact the dome is domed to reflect and strengthen the suns ripening effect over a larger area than if it was flat.

Does suggest it should be ripened..

You can also see the same kind of segmenting on the Hair..bud..I cannot See if it has the central core...
haven;t caught one with a tell tale amber line up...

Now this makes sense, i see what you mean buy needing the light to corectly make the compounds blend, its like any thing artificial. yes you can reproduce it but its not identical. Meaning that we can almost duplicate the intensity but the UV aspect that the sun gives off would almost be impossible to duplicate indoor. I am going to have to change out one bulb in each fixture to a UV bulb and see what happens.

The only thing here that i see is that what benefit does the tric have to the plant at this point. If it needs the sun and the UV ray to produce the tric, what purpose does it have on the plant then if not for protection? Other than to get us high of course :lol:


I was wondering this too. If it was purely to protect the plant why even bother with the psycho active compounds? What if the plant is producing CBD's because most animals have a cannibinoid system used for hunger control? If you are a plant that uses animals to pass your seed, would it not be a benefit to the plant to make the animals hungry for more?

Almost like a symbiotic type relationship. I'll help you if you help me. In most cases where that happens both organisms give some thing to one another.

Or you could go the other way with it. The compounds are to deter animals from eating it because it makes you high. The smells also... How many animals are going to munch on anything that smells like rotting skunks? Or baby poo? But then you have smells like fruit, nuts.. ect...

I think it might be more a defense/survival mechanism.
 
Wiz i was reading some place that said those spiked trichs are like feelers for the plant. I wonder if you would see an increase in terp excretion on a leaf that you brushed.

It seems like their purpose is to spread the scent of the lady, with all those oils on them!
 
Why only resin on the buds? edit: ill rephrase this question.. why does it not produce resin during veg phase, doesnt it receive uv radiation then too? it gets even more sunhours

Maybe we can learn something from studying the research made on other resin producing plants?


Something ive noticed that is common among resin producing plants is that they are often evergreen.


Is it just me or are dark plants often more resinous?
 
why does it not produce resin during veg phase,

I might be jumping in the middle of this and could be completely wrong, but I thought it was all to do with sex and their need to get pollinated which will not happen in veg state.
