Harvest...Dark or Light

[dusto2k3]

what's the diff between a joint and blunt, oh and what's rasta?????

serious?

a blunt is rolled with tobacco leaves. usually a cigar is split lengthwise, the contents emptied, then filled with pot and rolled back up. some cigars have a perforation below the outer layer of leaves so it's easy to break open by hand (Philly's Blunts).

Blunt Rolling: how to roll a blunt (pretty decent, not much detail.i've never seen anyone pass out trying to hit a blunt)

rasta you can read about here: Rastafari movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...actually...I have never rolled a blunt...but they say it's nice...
...joints are hard enough....for me....

meh I haven't rolled or even SMOKED a blunt.. blech... I like cigars... I like ganj... I do NOT want to mix the two... same as I think boilermakers are gross...

And I am going to pat myself on the back here, I finally figured out how to roll a joint like seriously LAST MONTH. After smoking HOW long?

Anyway not to threadjack... I liked to harvest when the lights FIRST came on... less time for the THC to break down... but I never gave them the extended dark...

....rolling joints is the only thing ..I can think of ...where the more you roll..the worst you get.....go figure?....

[Dutch Pimp]

Blunts are great! Get someone else to roll it.

...I have always had someone to roll for me...until lately..now it's like learning to ride a bicycle.....

Get a rolling machine, then the hardest part is licking the paper.

See IF we want to smoke something like that we just buy the special papers from the store. Doesn't sound too practical unless there are alot of people to smoke it all. I'm a small town country girl so we were just happy to find a few grams and smoke a few bowls, never had weed to waste, had to ration the stuff and spread it out. I know people who roll a whole joint takes a few puffs, puts it out and it goes with the butts into the trash! Pitty shame.

well i was reading in an old hightimes mag that the reason for harevsting after a plant has been left in the dark is not so much for a thc increase but during the night a plant sends all the sugars from the leaves and buds to its roots so the can start working to building more plant but if u left it in the dark all the sugars wouldnt return to the plant therefore u would have most nutrients and sugars in your roots so thats a less harsher smoke

Well I haven't done the experiments myself, but I have read it enough places that I take it as a fact that light degrades THC. If you believe that information then you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the best time to harvest is after a dark cycle.

If the thing about sugars going into the roots is true as well then that's one additional reason to harvest after a dark cycle. It's the first I've heard of it, and it reminds me of the crap you read about boiling roots or hanging plants upside down, so I am skeptical. It doesn't sound too far-fetched though. Are sugars in the plant mobile?
