I was told 30+ years ago that dried cannabis is 90-95% Nitrogen.Is this right?
What is the N content of dried Buds?

I guess 3:00am Sunday's not the best time to ask this question. lol
i been asking this forever...check spurrs threads for hints.

interesting.
that doesn't sound right tho. I would think the compounds that make up the structure of the plant would be primarily cellulose, which is made up of glucose (C6H12O6).
but I'm not too sure. This is a tissue sample analysis done on white rhino. the samples were not dried AFAIK and not of the bud itself.
But I doubt that chart even applies here; seems its more of a just a nutrient analysis. Maybe that's where the confusion comes in. I dunno

this is what i thought...
nutrient ion accepted, transformed into sugars (photosynthesis) and the many other constituents (amino acids, lignan, cellulose, ADP, ATP, etc.).
primarily these constituents are the molecules of the many different nutrients plants require, but are combined and attached to each other in different ways to produce plant pulp.
the amount of nutrients contained in these constituents will always be less than what the plant accepted; hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen are expelled from the plant...
at any rate, the amount has to be so low as to be insignificant.
humans ingest a LOT of nitrogen without any ill effects, and pass any superfluous, so i really can't understand the alarm...unles you smoke alot!
smoking appears to be the danger here, not elemental compounds.

So maybe then to grow a pound of dried buds it takes a little under a pound of nitrogen fertilizer, though out the life cycle of the plant to produce the final product.
nope...not what i meant.
i'm certain it is grams at most, possibly fractions of, to construct the skeleton. remember plants, as well as humans, are mostly water, stacked and racked, in a cellulose membrane.
i meant that very little of what it took to produce that stack of wet cellulose remains to be consumed...
:friends:
I would say thats more than miles out man!90-95%, never! I wonder what that would smoke&taste like, yukkkkkk!
