Potency? why not?

Ok so since I was very much a part of jacking a thread from a poster looking to increase his potency/quality in his garden, I will try and clarify some things that I've stated. As a grower/breeder the very first step in growing for potency for me is genetics. Once I have selected a strain to grow, I then search for a phenotype that displays the most desireable traits. Once I have a strain and phenotype selected I then decide what type of environment I am going to provide for it. Is it going to go in a hydro system? Is it going in containers of coco or maybe an organic soil mix? Is it going in a room with CO2 or is it just a fresh air exchange? Am I going to use organic nutrients or go the synthetic route? Once I have decided which room or environment I am going to grow it in, I make sure I do everything I can to increase the quality and potency of the plants all the way thru harvest. We use a large array of sweetners and carbohydrates on almost all of our grows, and that seems to really help with the overall quality. If you've harvested a crop that looked great all the way up to the cut but once dried weren't all that great often times it can be caused by the lack of a cure which really helps being out different effects and sometimes potency. I try and jar everything up for at least three weeks, and you can definately tell the cured stuff vs the un cured. Hope this helps clear up some of my earlier craziness.

When you jar everything up for 3 weeks, do you burp the jars daily? and if so how long do you leave it open? And are you supposed to reposition the buds during this?

I usually hang dry everything for 7-10 days, then cut everything off of the stems, even the large colas get cut up and put into jars. I seal them the first day for 24 hrs straight then vent them for an hour. Then I burp them for 15 minutes every 12 hours for the next week. The second week I burp them every 12 hours for 5 or 10 minutes. The last week I only burp them once every 24 hours for 5 minutes or so, more if there's any amount of visible moisture. I keep everything in a temp/humid controlled dark room until it's needed. After three weeks, I burp everything once in a while to just enjoy the fresh smell of a certain strain. Hope this helps.

Yeah definately man. After the two days of arguements, I'm just going to ask everyone what they do, and then make an educated desicion on what I should do based off the congruency of others, and just not get into a heated arguement, no matter how much I laugh, or you laugh, cause I don't want to be kicked off this site. I've been stalking you all for 4 years. You think I can just go and stalk other ppl? hahaha
