Look into molasses. I've heard that if you add molasses to your water during flowering it can increase the yield up to 20%. I am going to try it once I go into flowering.

Here's some tricks:

Molasses - 1tbs/gallon - increases bud, terpene and cannabinoid production

UV light - produces more trichomes

banana peels - give off ethylene that causes a faster and stronger flowering period. Apple or cucumber peels work just as fine.

rusty nail in the stem in the last week - produces a protection hormone that also accelerates bud production (I have never tried this, seems a bit extreme, but it works)

supercropping - inhibits auxin flow from the top causing bigger, cola-like calyx production from all stems. Also great because it produces no shock, more light for inferior branches, accelerates metabolism.

secondary budding - search the forums on this one. Will double your yeald, but requires an extra month til harvest

cutting the bottom two branches - do this after 2-3 weeks of veg. Will make plant less bushy, but stretchier, thus delivering more light. Causes plant to gain height and inhibits many pest or bug problems.

co2 generator - 1l water + 1tbs dry yeast + 2tbs sugar. keep this in a bottle next to the plant or behind the fans. Will produce enough co2 for 4 mature plants. must be changed every 2 weeks.

That's all i can think of right now.

EDIT: of course, the really really important things for growing top notch bud are: strong lights, correct spectrum, good nutes, right temps and humidity, no nighttime disturbances, no pests, god air exchange and airflow, good growing medium, healthy medium microorganisms, clean grow space etc etc etc.

it dosnt seem like u know very much so make sure u at least research the difference between a male and a female plant.u want a female:weed:a female makes bud (and seed if pollenated) and a male just makes pollen that dosnt get u high:spew:
