do trichomes continue to mature after harvest?

  1. does anyone know if trichomes continue to mature after harvest?
     
  2. For the most part, they do not. Yes some can argue that there is a slight change because of whatever is left in the sap channels but if you're flushing then definitely not.
     
  3. absolutely. after you cut a plant and dry the nugs they go through a change where the thc becomes psychoactive (or more phsycoactive i should say). hence the reason a proper dry and cure is so important.
     
  4. That has more to do with just getting the water out of the plant, which inhibits the high.
    There's not really a chemical reaction going on.
     

  5. you'RE getting the water out for the trichs to have a chemical response indeed. hence the psychoactive part dipshit

  7. from my understanding, THC does lose a carboxyl group during drying which is a chemical reaction.

  8. agreed. a chemical reaction is when any chemical process in which substances are changed into different ones, with different properties, as distinct from changing position or form. hence the thc does go though change in properties so this would be a chemical reaction.
     
  9. Man, your outta line.

    decarboxylation. google it. that's what happens after you cut your plant, dry, and cure. curing is the period in which decarbing happens. you can speed it up with heat as well, hence why when you make bho you don't cook it too high.
     
    P.S. this thread was painful to read
     
    EDIT: thread from nearly 4 years ago...::facepalm::

    hahahaha you da shit boo28
     
  14. The curse of the zombie thread!
     
  15. Actually THCA (tetrahydrocannabolic acid) has to break down into THC via decarboxylation. So i dunno if the trichomes continue to age but there is definitely a chemical reaction

    Not sure exactly what you're getting at, but you might find the answer to your question here...

    Lot's of really good info' to be had about MJ in general, but what you're looking for is very close to the end of Chapter Four.  If I'm reading you right, start at "Curing Floral Clusters", and the answer is almost at the end of that section.
     
    EDIT:  LOL!  Dead thread!  Information is still relevant to those that may come along...
