Hey any tips on resin Production...and potency...

It will not do any good to add Voodoo Juice at this point of flowering. It is used to promote the growth of roots which primarily takes place in the veg cycle. Even then Voodoo is only used every three weeks. The label on Voodoo says to use Carboload with it because it provides a food source for the bene's.

Using a carb source such as Carboload will help. Did you say which bloom nutes you are using? You could try Overdrive from Advanced. It is for the phase of bloom and gets flowers bulkier and more dense. There also is Bud Factor X from AN. It is expensive but it works awesome. I can attest to it. There is also Bud Candy. I could go on for days. Any of these will work great.

Oh and Purple Maxx will not turn your flowers purple. Just so you know. I tried it once on a test plant and was not impressed. It did not have any more resin than any of the others and this was the only difference in the nute regiment. Good Luck

Oops I just realized this was organic growing section and here I am talking about AN. Sorry.
For an organic grow I would say Kelp.

UVB..i got 2 bulbs that i attach to my hps with clips..they use to have this video called "UVB THC and ME" it was made by the prince of pot and his friends..i never thc test my weed but it seems to up the THC levels just by looking at it..my leaves get covered in trichs

Hey cali grower!! You should try attatching some CFL lighting to your bucket and cover some of those hard to reach lower areas of the plant where the lumen count is lower. Due to your leaf to calyx ratio ld also suggest tieing those branches down to your bucket to acheive more light penetration throughout your babies cluster of godliness. Just a little string and a little bit of your time can take you a long way. I hope you find this useful! One love!!

blackstrap molasses, during the last few weeks, is best with organics. helps the taste, smell, and potency. 1-3 tsp/gal. Im a former AN user, now i use GH Organics, and blackstrap.

I always get good crystal on every strain of wild flower genetics that I have grown. I operate a F&D lava rock budding system. I have used several different types of ferts and I have found that if they are calculated properly they can get crystal. To maximize THC I remove my vased crop in RO water from the budding room as soon as the lights come on. I never use anything but bloomin' ferts with domolite lime and refined ashes to steady the ph. This combination produces co2 in the root bed and has been used by farmers for who knows how long. In my personal op I generate my co2 for the air by burning barbecue charcoal which is filtered before it's introduced in the room. Since co2 will lay lower in the room when it cools I duct my canopy air under my table. In addition to my radial canopy fan I have several computer fans to ensure positive air movement. I keep my room slightly more pressurize than the outside air. The temperature is always between 75-80 degrees F. I circulate the air between the mother room and the budding room. Your plants need additional o2 when the lights go out and the co2 levels have to be returned to outside levels. I'm not much of a farmer because I know nothing about organics but I can see no reason why you couldn't run organics in a flood and drain system. I put my clones under the hps asap because I find veggin' actually retards the rapid growth. If you clone from seasoned mothers your plants won't start out hollow so you won't need the veg state. etc...

What up Bird Mcbride...Well I didn't really give thje specs of my grow room...But I actually use a Co2 Tank with regulator and Co2 test Pens....Tanks I find are the most safe and efficient means of supplementing Co2. My Temps are staying at 74-76*f right now(I stopped using Co2 last week...so I lowered my temps) When Co2 was on...It stayed at 86-90*f...I have about....3 fans blowing in thier with 2 (BIG) passive intakes (since Co2 is gone now)....I actually asked this question because one day I left with my Co2 off of the timer...on a very low setting thinking I'd be right back......well....some HOURS later I came back to some of my plants being burned from the CO2...the ones that were actually closest to the tallest fan....That plant has slowed resin production dramatically...And I've noticed the ones FARTHEST from the light are more resinous than the ones directly under the light...I've since moved my light up. But it rose the question in my curious mind.....What stops or starts rein production...I think everyone pretty much sums it up for me...sugars,UVB Lighting.....I'm thinking that it must be a way of the plant trying to protect itself from drying out....since it happens more in the dark and under a UVB light which is supposedly harmful to plant leaves as to dry them...As far as running a Ebb and Soil flood system...I actually have a 4x4 tent as well that is an flood and drain system. So I'll leave the Hydro in the tent..hydro produces very resinous buds...but I love the soil taste and my connection with nature in it's entire process...ya feel me Happy Growing and thanks for the response

Thanks for the tip 94gt302...i use Grandma's now....I just cant find that damn Blackstrap....wtf....

What up Tyrannabuds...Good info dude!! I've hear that purple max is over rated...but I think Im gonna try it on my grandaddy...Worth a try...i'll leave one without it..to see if it is less purple than the rest....All the carb boosters i hear do work well...i try as many as possible....Happy Growin

hi smokerator what i have head is that keeping a low humidity under 30 if u can what happen is the plant wants to stay hydrated so it produces more tri

if u think about it makes sense think about

any ways try it ur plants are doing wonder full would u have some tips for me man i could use some. im a newbie.
here is my first form link if u could give tips it would be very nice off you

i dont think they are related trichs and potency you can increase trichs but i dont think you can increase potency it is about 90 % in genetics i think

i have had low trich production and monster bud --and i have had a heavy trich producer that was adv bud

you ever had different hash all diff some strong some tasty some not as strong and they are all trichs and they vary

Oh yeah definately. Genetics is the number one thing in potency. But, it is possible to have a decline or increase in potency. The humidity thing is a very big deal in my opinion, my humidity is too high as we speak..can't afford to pay $300 bucks for one at the moment. So I've been scouting out CL and for some reason, they are charging maybe 10% below what's brand new...I'm thinkin 50 bucks LOL

where can I find blackstrap molasses ???

Look in the supermarket in the aisle with the syrups. In the US, Briar Rabbit and Grammas is sold across the country. If these brands are not available, any unsulfered blackstrap molasses will work. Feed stores also sell molasses in bulk for animal feed at reasonable prices.

If he has adequate lighting to begin with there is no need to add lower lighting. 85% of light that strikes a leaf will pass through, only 15% of light is absorbed. The rest, the 85% continues down to strike lower leaves and buds. The chlorophyll in leaves reflect the green light spectrum, the human eye is most sensitive to the green light spectrum, That means the farther down a plant you look it will look darker and more shaded, but that is only to the human eye and not to the plant ... unless someone is using inadequate lighting there is enough light at the lower levels of plants even though to the human eye it appears there is not enough light.

Wow Bricktop, I never knew that. I've been re arranging plants in two cabs endlessly.. It looked shaded so I would re arrange the plants...and in one of my cabs I just added some wimpy T12(I know,I know) but it added more light for my human eye to squench too
blackstrap mollasses is a chore to find in my area, so I use grandmas unsulfered...just found mollasses at my local grow shop...for 12 bucks!!!! I'll stick to my $3 bottle from FoodMaxx
I just cut down one tree to dryy and test for potency, I'll gauge my harvest next time between this one and my final harvest. It's the smaller tree and looks to be about an ounce to an ounce nd a half...Looking to pull close to 2lbs from 15 plants...looking like I might hit the mark!! my og kush is starting to bloom and has a nice start on crystals...the only difference between this grow and the og is I started using mollasses late in flower on my C99(pics from first page) and on Og I've been using it since it's last week in veg.. I see a difference in comparison to the c99. And c99 is supposed to be more icy...well see..I'll put some pics up later today....I only go in there at certain times of the day as to not draw attention from the sun in my closet

No one can grow a plant beyond it's genetic limits, in any way, including potency, but even growing the highest quality genetics is a guarantee of potency.

All genetics guarantee is the opportunity for you to grow plants in a way where they will reach their full genetic potential. That's all. Not all that many people achieve that.

When it comes to final results, as in potency, genetics are really only about 50% of the outcome. The other 50% is growing conditions and environment.

It is sort of like a test. For every deficiency you have in your setup, your system, your conditions and environment and care that is a point deducted from your final test score.

People will purchase a strain that let's say claims a level of 20% THC. Under their less than optimal conditions/environment,setup,system and care at the end they will be sitting there telling themselves they are toking 20% THC herb but it might be more like 10% or 12% or 14% in THC.

You said; "i dont think they are related trichs and potency." I hope you did not mean that the way it read because, as I am sure you know, all cannabinoids are created in glandular trichome heads. If the trichomes do not have optimal or near optimal conditions they will not produce the amount/percentages of cannabinoids the strains genetics would otherwise allow them to produce if growing in near optimal or optimal conditions.

No matter what a plant's genetics are they will to a point grow in a way that is based on conditions/environment. If grown in high humidity, well if flowered in high humidity, they will not grow as many trichomes per square inch or per square centimeter or whatever unit of measurement you care to use for an example. In dry arid conditions more trichomes will grow, up to the plants genetic limit. The plant is reacting to it's environment and will do so up to it's genetic limitation.

In conditions of low UV-B lighting THC production, along with resin and general cannabinoid production will be lower than in conditions of high UV-B lighting. Again, the plant is reacting to it's environment and will do so up to it's genetic limitation.

The guarantee that comes with mid or low quality genetics is even if you provide the very best environment and care for your plant(s) the very best results you can possibly achieve will be mid to low grade.

The guarantee that comes with high quality genetics is that if you provide optimal environmental growing conditions and care you can achieve high quality results, but also, if you provide your plant(s) with a poor growing environment you can end up with Roadside Red, Ditch Weed, Ghetto Gold, etc.

i think i have grown that Roadside Red before , lol
my next grow is gunna be Ghetto Gold , , i hear good things about that one

LOL yeah that's what my pops calls it...Dirty red or ghetto red LOL well my resin production came out VERY good very ivey and a nice pungnt fruity smell...my potency is lacking though...I guess I could have let them go a little longer...I am going to add some crappy iPhone pics later... Haven't been able to get a good pic with this damn thing...my yield was about a half Lb more than expected and that's always a good thing 2 1/2 LB from 15 plants vegged for about a month after taking the cutting..LST'd, topped at the 2nd node...mollasses seems to be a keeper nice ice...i'm currenty going to try Voodoo juice and sweet or voodoo and mollasses.. UVB lights for a lot of space can get pricey... I'm currently workin on a UVB disco ball..a UVB light will be in the center of an advanced reflective "ball"..kinda like one of those party balls with all the different color lights...w'll see howthat works over a period of time.compared to those with out one. Oh yeah, and I cut the lights for three days, and it caused alot of trice to thicken under the leaves..worked out nice Happy Growing!
