Well I can answer that one definitively if you like? I know all about 'Hortapharm BV' and 'GW Pharma'.
I'd love to learn more about it, at the mo i'm reading up on the genome sequencing stuff, researchers think thc production is moderated by an enzyme they've just found and also found a couple new cannabiniods, yay!

right of coarse i dont know the actual service that is used but i know how much he pays for it as i asked if i could have things sent to it ... any idiot with a computer can google uk po box rentals and get a hundred hits on diff places and there offers
Dude you are an idiot and have been proven to be talking shit!

'PO Box' is a registered trademark of Royal Mail (owned by the crown), there are no different places and offers.

You have to apply directly to Royal Mail for one and the cheapest possible 'PO Box' costs £105 + VAT for 6 months rental, you must provide 2 proofs of address which have to be less than 3 months old and you can only apply for a box at the sorting office that deals with your domestic mail.

Contrary to popular belief a PO Box is not actually a box but more a pigeon hole in the wall (I used to do agency work for Royal Mail sorting offices picking), if you wanted to get shit sent through the post without the whole depot knowing what is in your package then you would have to rent a locked PO Box which costs £255 + VAT per year.

So to recap you ARE a moron and your American friend rents fuck all from Royal Mail and certainly not for your proposed £83.88 a year!

not enzymes, sorry, although they are mentioned, the thc moderator is thought to be Δ[SUP]9[/SUP]-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase

Yep THCA.

THCA is actually what the plant secretes in the trichomes, THCA converts to THC through decarboxylation.

This happens when you dry you're bud or when the THCA in the cherry on the end of a joint is vapourised when smoked, the initial heat just before vapourisation decarboxylates the THCA to THC.

This is also why some ill-informed people say that weed should be baked before making tinctures or edibles.

Right then here's the story.......

'Skunk #1' was the worlds first stable cannabis hybrid, the guy who's life's work this strain is went by many usernames on-line like The_Skunkman, Sam The Skunkman and various others.

Well this guys real name is David Paul Watson and he teamed up with Robert Connell Clark (Marijuana Botany author) and opened a Dutch company called Hortapharm BV.
Between them they have been working on Skunk #1 for many years and have managed to selectively breed 2 chemotypes of the same plant.

One version produces nearly 99% THC and the other produces nearly 99% CBD, it is because they have managed to create something that "cannot be found in nature" they have been granted patents on those plants (the only patented cannabis plants on the planet).

They then send those seeds from Hortapharm BV in the netherlands to the GW Pharmaceuticals installation in England.
GW Pharma then grow those plants to produce Rick Simpson's oil and sell it as 'Sativex' spray.

Long story short........;)

Yep THCA.
Doh! I knew all about thc acid, but for some reason I didn't realise that Δ[SUP]9[/SUP]-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase was the same thing as thca..... I cook with my bud sometimes, it defo gets chucked in the oven for 20 min on 100c if it's cooked the day I cut the plant down.

skunk #1!!! hahahaha no way, they're proper stoners! I don't think making pills is the way forward but I must say I feel a whole lot better knowing that the grass roots are in what we ourselves smoke

And it is little snippets of gold like this.......

"However, single nucleotide variant analysis uncovered a relatively high level of variation among four cannabis types, and supported a separation of marijuana and hemp."

.......that are going to see an end to licensed Hemp cultivation in the world.

We will finally be able to prove to the world with science that they fucking lied to us back in the day to line the coffers of commercial industry.

COME IN NYLON, YOUR TIME IS UP!​..........;)

I would if I could mate, I just seem to attract fucking drama from all directions.

could you elaborate on this please , as someone who may have to make oil soon and is shitting it somewhat id be more than interested in your thoughts on decarboxylation

sat with 5 litres of iso on standby

THC % claims are all a load of bollocks, the only seedbanks you can trust on those claims are the ones who post the name of the lab who tested the sample for them with the results.

Only Shantibaba and the CBD Crew are doing that as far as I know.
couldnt agree more and even then its a little errrrr wavering , figure 2 plants tested from cbd , one hit 19% while the other 29% , both the same strain ( there train w ) so welcome to the wonderful world of phenotypes

hahahaha fuckin funny i think not ..im not asking for your weed u moron ,simply that i have no idea whats gonna be the better for my current grow environments and i dont want to be spending a good 200 on seeds that are wrong for me ,hence experimenting ,,at the end of the day its a seed of what you think could be the greatest or the worst ill ever see ,im not asking for you to go out and buy me some seeds ,just askin if any1 has any bagseed(i stated i would need the strain name) that they could contribute and help me with this experiment and if any1 can help me then i would be eternally grateful to them for helping me make a very well informed ,scientific decision , i thought this was a community !!!! where ppl help one and another ,not ridicule a persons methods
dude your not enamoring yourself to people here , respect and gratitude create people spending time and money shooting seed off to people

so explain exactly what your after and why , saying a small grow doesnt mean alot when your looking at people who might have taken part in the 1 oz challenge ( you had to grow a plant in a 1 oz enviroment and see what you yielded ) , saying you will test these beans also doesnt mean alot to people either , if you were saying im after some dank shit then at least theres a degree of honesty and maybe some black dom would head in your direction but beyond this it comes across as saying i want free seed so give
