It wont increase thc but will make your buds taste like crap(plant is still alive after harvest for a couple daysuntil dry wilting leaves). If u want to increase thc then get the right strain, not some hillbilly hippie old wives tale because thats all that is bro.I've heard that burning the roots of your plant during harvesting time makes the THC rush to the rest of the plant. I'm a bit sceptical on this matter but still thought it a bit worth while to look into.
Could someone sheld some light on this for me?
harvesting past peak, will turn that precious THC into CBD and CBN. just saying.Total bullcrap.......... good genetics, healthy plants with loads of light and harvest late will yield tons of THC.......
I don't see how it shocks the plant into 'bud production' as the plant has already been rooted, thus halting anymore production. Am I right or am I just talking shit?This is just another example of shocking the plant into bud production . Supplement some uv light on ur plants and there will be increase in thc
I did phrase that right, I'm just putting this method in the same category as a 36 hour dark period before harvest, which IMO doesn't workThanks for all your replies, it's helped.
I don't get this, what mattman said;

I've been contemplating this for the last few weeks, running my metal halide along side my hps... Not only will it produce more thc but it will help keep the temp a bit lower in my room. Still undecided!Also, High Times this month has an article about lighting and how a wide variety in color increases THC production. Best results are from the sun and they recommend a mix of halide and H.P. sodium for best results.
That I did not. I always thought the exact opposite for some reason. hmmmHalides run hotter than sodium bulbs........... so u know.
Buds got that right!!! Just when ya think you've heard it all. Dude, pot is a plant. Nothing mystical about it. There are no "secret tricks" or voo doo methods to increase the THC. All we as growers can do is optimize the growing conditions to maximize whats encoded in the genetics. If it doesn't sound like it's based on scientific principal, it probably aint true.It wont increase thc but will make your buds taste like crap(plant is still alive after harvest for a couple daysuntil dry wilting leaves).
