Hey plainsman1963, since you know about growing weed, do you ever deal with terpenes and flavonoids in the plant? I was reading about it and apparently there can be several benefits to those suckers (such as reduce memory loss, block the carcinogenesis caused by benz[a]anthracene, and anti-inflammatory effects). Marijuana that is rich in terpenoids is found to be relatively free of contamination from bacteria and fungi (I'll have to throw that last part in the thread about marijuana and mold).

It seems that these noncannabinoids are quite beneficial. I'll have to write about it sometime.

I think we have a different definition of "know".

I know enough to stick it in the soil and water and feed it, provide it light and the plant is nice enough to provide me with bud.

Once we get into Cannaboids and receptors, auxin's and Cytokinins , this dirt farmers eyes start to glaze over and I begin to drool.

I enjoy reading about it, but don't have a thing to contribute.
Out of my paygrade.

Unfortunately, the study in the link is starting to show it's age. We've discovered some more compounds in cannabis over time. Other than than, it's pretty good.

plainsman1963, oh well, it was worth a shot.

I like to think some things get better with age...

1982 was a good year for me

Not that unlike the anti-pot studies, this one is still relatively accurate ... out of date...but accurate!

Terpene or Turpentine...and actually, wouldn't terpenes in cannabis have their own name; for example, limonene is a liquid terpene found in lemons or other essential oils, so maybe we should call cannabis terpenes by cannaterpenes! Heh, excuse me, but I'm high
