This may not be what @TheWillBilly is doing, but the paper is extremely interesting regardless. I have seen quite a few different patterns expressed in CBD growth.

I wonder if these new blue ones fluorescence differently than colorless THCa…

I’m pretty sure this is actually talking about how different crystal polymorph of the same molecule can have different colors based on what polymorph the molecule is in

I’ve never heard of different crystal structures producing different colors in the lattice structure

Neat stuff!

Apologies to @anon16547145 for moving his thread. I agree @TheWillBilly has spurred at the very least my brain into some analysis of the scientific literature
