anyone smoked jedi? and its apparent 41%thc????

[cateros]

jedi? really? they will get sued when Lucas finds out. why build a name on something you will have to change down the line. just sayin'. same goes with skywalker. george lucas can sue you into poverty.

How can he sue for something that is already illegal if he won a case like that he would in essence win the rights to a cannabis plant and be on his way to jail for possession wouldnt he?? heheh

 

[cateros]

um yeah, I don't believe anything any government says concerning cannabis.

Actually I made a post earlier about how I suspected that the way they come up with the thc percentage is by extracting the essential oils and then extracting only the thc. Well I made a call later on to talk to a friend who was in amsterdam 3 months ago and asked him if he knew how they got the numbers and he told me this. According to the people in the cafe's when he asked how strong it is they told him they figure out percentage by extracting the resin glands thru 170 micro screens then weigh the heads to come up with there claims of percentage. They told him the cbd and cbn is estimated and most of the banks that advertise them are just guessing based on how much of a couch lock it is. So if they have a gram and extract .25 grams of heads form it they say its 22% and 1.0 cbd .7 cbn . Personally I can kinda relate and to tell the truth knowing that I can grow a lb and extract say 1/4lb of top notch glands for hash to me that is a workable way to figure out what strain I want to buy.

first of all bullshit. no one is pulling a 25% yield of top notch glands from any amount of nugs with any method. second of all there isn't a quarter gram of heads on a gram of weed. % of thc is calculated as a percentage of the active chemicals in the gland heads. any seed bank claim is probably the top percentage they were able to acheive in their perfect breeding environment. and it's not as simple as shaking glands off of nugs to figure out the percentage. there's a $250,000 machine that measures these things out.

Thank you. God dammit.

Off of dried bud we get, what, about 10% glands? So now we're working with a 10% base number. Now, remove all of the other chemicals in those trich heads and we're probably seeing much below the 1% total plant mass constitution.

I love the Jedi. We used to get it in San Diego pretty regularly. It has a really nice taste and a pretty clean high, with not too much of a come down. I liked it a whole bunch. I wouldn't get too caught up in the percentage.

Thanks for reminding me of another strain I'd like to try and run. Along with the PK, Bullrider, And a strain that had no name but was supposedly Kali mist x with some sort of hawaiian.

Some nice herb in SD

From what I've read here and elsewhere I've come to the conclusion that the THC% doesn't actually mean anything on it's own. The most likely case is that it is the amount of THC compared to the amount of other cannabinoids in the resin glands, correct?

Therefore the claim that high THC% strains are more potent is not essentially correct since you are not able to work out the actual amount of THC in any given sample size.

For example let's take 2 buds with a weight of 1g each. Say one of them is with a 10% THC rating and the other is with a 20% THC rating. While observing the buds, the 10% one is HEAVILY covered in resin while the 20% one not so much. Taking that into account let's say the 10% bud has three times the amount of resin than the 20% bud. For clarity's sake lets take that the 10% one has 0.15g of resin glands and the 20% one has 0.05g of resin glands. Therefore the 10% bud has 0.015g THC and the 20% one has 0.01g THC Based on this the 10% THC bud actually has more THC in/on it than the 20%THC bud. In the real world the numbers are small in any case, but my point is that you CANNOT evaluate the potency of the bud by a THC%. Makes sense? anyone?

If I'm wrong or right, please do comment...this has been bugging my mind for a long time now...


peace,

41% THC sounds like a claim only BC seeds would make. I find them quite hilarious, charging $900 for 10 seeds and having like 7 strains in their range that they all claim are the "strongest bud EVAARRR!!!!111!!" and that will "get you high for 7 hours" etc etc
They're made up of pure bullshit and I'm willing to bet that they just send you random bagseed if you're stupid enough to order one of those SUPER UBER POTENT MEGA strains

Nope. (edit: that is, you're right)

Potency and Tricomes

Many media outlets and politicians say the ‘potency’ of today’s pot has increased dramatically in the last 30 years, claiming it contains anywhere from 10%-40% THC. Most are dubious claims, as it is quite obvious that a sample of herbal plant material does not consist of nearly half THC, but there is still much debate on the issue of potency classification. One thing is for sure; heavy trichome production does not necessarily mean higher potency, because the resins inside the trichome may or may not contain high levels of THC and other active ingredients. Some speculate that the percentage levels refer to the amount of THC in the oils produced inside the resin glands, but new studies show that cannabinoids other than THC also have distinctive effects on brain functions and cause correspondingly different effects on human cognition and psychiatric symptoms (4). This makes gauging the ‘potency’ or ‘strength’ of cannabis plants very difficult, as different cannabinoid level combinations may induce different types of highs. (For more information, see “Pot Potency” CC #34.)

I've been keepin a jedi in my grow for years.

 

[teerull]

so my main point that the THC% doesn't really mean a lot still stands strong? Sorry, I couldn't really understand what the "Nope" stands for. Nope, you're incorrect? Nope, you're not wrong?

As has already been stated multiple times, thc% has meaning just not the meaning most people ascribe to it. A thc% is the percentage of active compounds that are THC, so of all your terpenes and CBNs and other chemicals in the plant, x% is thc. It does not mean that for a plant of 100 grams a thc% of 25 = 25 grams of thc throughout the plant. To my mind, this is where people get confused. To properly determine this % you need a spectrometer, although I'm pretty sure you could make BHO with naptha/isopropyl and use glass chromatography to get a very close estimate, although that would be more efficent for determining the chemical makeup rather than %thc...

Fuck it, just bioassay it and use your best estimate

 

[DocLeaf]

Is it as good as the name?

 

[grimweeder]

i always new it to be that most breeders when talking about thc content refer to the overall weight in trichomes the plant has, and thc acounts for all active cannabinoids etc unless otherwise stated.(as 99% of breeders breed for thc only an not cbd, cbg, cbn etc)so those figures are often so small they are irrelevant,
so say for example a plant is 15-25% thc as listed by most, this will mean that in it best conditions the plants bodymass an total weight will be 30% thc/trichomes so 100 grams of bud will give max 25 grams of resin glands.
there will obviously be other cannabinoids like cbd,cbn but cbd is often less than 1% so not worth listing seperately along with some others but cbn is one that occurs after thc has degraded an is often really low, so all in all your 25 grams of resin(strain depending obviously) will work to be about 95% maybe higher in thc strain depending.

if you dry sieve your resin glands or make bubble hash bho etc etc from a strain thats say 20-30% an you get like 15% it means either your plants arnt as strong as they could, or it means more than likely your loosing some trichomes an 5-10% get left in the bud as its hard/near impossible to get every last trichome out.

 

[Green Supreme]

What a joke. If all the active ingredient is found in the heads. There is no way heads alone make up 41%. Then there is no way all inside the head is active ingredient. C'mon.Whats this number supposed to represent again? Peace GS

 

[SOTF420]

All I know is that I had some really really devastatingly strong lifesaver buds one time from Bog beans years ago and a lady I knew got pulled over with about a 2 gram nug of it and the cop thought it wasnt even pot because it smelled like fruit but when they field tested it instead of turning the light to dark purple in the solution to indicate the presence of THC, it turned the test solution completely jet black and the police officer told her he had never ever seen that kind of result even after testing hundreds of different kinds of pot for many years. I'm guessing that lifesaver was seriously over 20% thc. He confiscated the nug and let her go with a failure to yield ticket. I always wondered how high he must have got later.

 

[THC_Decapitator]

those thc percentages are mostly bs and marketing lol

 

[BudBo]

Could i ask wher u got the clone from?i've been lookin for the Jedi for a couple years now haven't found anything bout it

I agreewit most of u on here when readin anything over 25% thc kinda seems rediculous and even settin a % on a strain is rediculous because even clones will giv u dif amounts of THC

that bein said i've smoked a strain called Jedi n it was one of my most favorite smokes i've ever had

It didn't seem anything like a BB x NL cross tho

it seemd very close to a haze hybrid definantly sativa dom the high was really up ther n was one of the most enjoyable uplifting highs i've had that n Blue Dream are the closest i've come to a really hazy high(bein from cali most is 'kush' n purp indica hybrids)

I smoked alot of mixed blunts of Jedi n Lemon Kush those wer the best smoke i've ever had taste n high was perfectly mixed together

 

[lpski420]

i really dont know where its from i believe its from San diego, sorry for double post

 

[lpski420]

here's the cut i've been growing for a few years, its very finicky and doesn't produce a lot, but it has a crazy smell and taste. and it will turn purp/black if the temps are right

 

[THC_Decapitator]

dam lipski , looks fire
