Molasses added in with your nutes, diluted with water, I feed once a week.

there is a lot written about adding UVB light, like from reptile bulbs. i think the idea is the resin is the sunblock for the plant.

i just bought a couple bulbs but i haven't harvested or seen first hand results yet.

i got 2 26w exo terra cfls to supplement m hps. they have a UVB rating of 10.0 which i think means 10% of the light is ultraviolet.
the cfls were the cheapest and easiest to install method i could find.

Start with a resiny strain.

Good genetics. First and Foremost. They say resin production increases if you put the plant in 48 hours of darkness prior to chopping it.

i think im gonna give it a try on my upcoming harvest

people talk of stressing a plant nearing harvest

I dont know if it works or not

 

[GangaFarmer420]

yeah my buddy stressed his out big time near the end it did pretty good he was like bendin them over and beatin the crap out of them, they were haggered but they were awesome, im defently gonna try that molasses idea, i might try that dark thing if i can find a big enough room =P

One tried and truth method, waiting till it's ACTUALLY done. Good genetics and a seasoned grower. The season has a huge influence on yield.

 

[GangaFarmer420]

yeah i defently agree with that

Yes UV increases resin, but too kills plants

Oh yeah, and when choosing to use molasses, get the blackstrap kind, thats the best for your plants. I use the Brer Rabbit brand.

 

[spakdacrip808]

i put less than a tea spooon of grandmas molasses and im not sure if its working or noti have seen more yellow leaves though...

 

[GangaFarmer420]

Im using a tablespoon of molasses too 4liters or 1 gal. yellow leafs are signs of lack of nitrogen, up your veg nuts or add a nut high in nitrogen.

 

[spakdacrip808]

hows blood meal?i sprinkled some in the soil

 

[GangaFarmer420]

that will help but bloodmeal is more time released, miracle grow would work, aswell do you check your and balance your PH levels before you water?

lower your humidity during flowering. marijuana will naturally produce more resin to help moisten itself

What do you consider low in the humidity level? I just put a dehumidifier in and have it set a 50%.
