increasing thc

is there anything i can do to make my plants have more crystals? i am currently growing afghani#1 and i read that it doesnt have alot of crystals but theres lots of resin.

I wouldnt know a way to increase thc but just wait to the crystals be amber to get the best high out of the bud

during its flowering stage you could try to adapt it to some colder temps. some would argue this just changes the color of your plant, with my first two grows I kept one inside and one outside during its flowering. At harvest, the plant I put outside to flower turned a purplish color and had significantly more resin production. AND give your plant a complete 24 hrs of darkness before harvest.

get this nute called "purple maxx snow storm" its a resin producer, and color enhancer

lower humidity as low as you can get it and reread the growfaq its in there

It is mostly going to be a matter of genetics. Sure if you abuse your plants or grow them in poor conditions with not enough light etc. you can reduce the amount of THC but you cannot increase it beyond what its genetics will ever produce.

You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit no matter how much mayonnaise you add to it so the BEST thing to do is pick the best genetics and just do things right and things will be what they will be.

to get diffrent typ highs you would harvest when thricones are ate diff. stages. for exap. when thric. are milky you wel get more of a energetic high, and the more amber the thric. are the of a couch lock high never really heard of a way to make a bud more crystals.

That is true to a point. Genetics will always play a key roll in what you get. You can’t take some heavy indica and harvest it when the trichs are milky and turn it into a sativa buzz but yes to a degree if you harvest when milky you will get more of a head high than if you wait until they turn amber which will lower the ceiling and give you more of a body/couch lock high.

Myself I always went with the milky route because that is the buzz I like best plus I went for sativas more too but to each their own.

What range should I maintain for my growroom humidity and temperature?


A humidity and temperature gauge are essential in any growroom. Daytime conditions should be 70-80 degrees without co2, 80-90 degrees with co2 until the last two weeks when daytime temps should be kept between 70-80 and co2 can be reduced to adjust for the lower metabolism. Night temperatures should be kept above 60 degrees to prevent stress. It is preferrable during flowering to have a night temperature drop of 10-20 degrees to stimulate flowering hormones and reduce stem elongation.

I find that low humidity causes stress on plants. I recommend 50-60% humidity until the final 2 weeks of flowering. At this point, the humidity should be lowered as much as possible to encourage the plant to seal and protect itself with additional resin. (I am able to get the humidity to go as low as 31%) I have been able to frost things up considerably this way. The higher humidity levels prior to final ripening reduce salt levels within the plant tissue and encourage healthy, more lush growth.
