I don't think altitude makes a difference in itself... but usually it's dryer up in the sky which makes for better growing in my opinion. I think growing at 5,000ft is one of the keys to my success.

I did pretty good a mile high.... Im pretty low now.

If you grow cannabis outside at high altitudes this may help improve the crops trichome development due to being exposed to higher UVB radiation levels.

True, but I dont think radiation has anything to do with it... I could be wrong though lol.

lol. Whodat. Looks like a tobacco barn. I grew 5 lemon skunk this time. plus two rando seeds from my last grow that I think are Blue Venom.I have a couple more runs of skunk queued up, then it's on to the next big thing. I need a bigger yield and waaaaay less stretch. I flowered these at 12/15" and they all ended up 4 feet tall, pushing against the lights.

I'm not sure about radiation, but I will say that I think the cure you get at a higher, dryer altitude is better than down here. I've said it before, I'll say it again. The best weed I've smoked, hands down, was when I lived in Boulder, CO. It was just silly. CA doesn't even know!

Mornin' 600!

'Light' is electromagnetic radiation, cannabis produces THC in order to help protect against the damage caused by UVB radiation (the affects of which can be seen in humans as sunburn).

This is why the Sativa strains native to high altitude regions have evolved to produce more THC/trichomes than their low altitude counterparts, it is also the reason why UVB supplementation is sometimes used in cannabis grow rooms.

Well, I have no bud pr0n, so I figured food would have to substitute:








And the top I cut off of the plant in the first pic:
(I think it's been 14 days. This morning the leaves were reaching up to the light underneath it's saran wrapped stovepipe humidore, so I think it's finally out of the danger zone)

Stick a leaf from your current grow in with the buds and leave the jar closed all day. They should rehydrate. I've done that... either wake up or walk back in the house and think "Why the fuck does it smell so strongly of weed in here"

OH.... ALL MY JARS ARE WIDE OPEN!!!!!

Simply throw a healthy leaf in the jar with lids closed for a few hours and check, that will raise the moisture content in your over dried precious flowers.


Edit: Fking quick finger Jigs over here :-? hehe
