Ways to encourage resin production

ShadowHawk · #1 01-19-2008, 01:21 PM

Ive heard many ways to boost trichome production but i would like some more tips. One of the ways i've heard is to lower your humidity before harvest. Also cooler temps at night will encourage resin production. But I would like to get as much advice as possible on the subject. If anyone has any tips or advice please post. It would be much apprieciated! Thanks and Happy Token

Im going to go for the 20 mins every hour method.
I am also going to save up for a 5 foot uvb tanning tube and not a spot lamp.
I have never used uvb yet,but i listen to what marijuana man says and i believe him when he says it works.

I don't know about the distance yet.
I think i will just bung it up against the back wall and rotate the plants on a daily basis,as i normally do anyway.

but how can you find an uvb only bulb? i thought all uv bulbs whether it be uvb still emits uva....and isnt uva harmful to the plants?

would you also used the uv lights with your regular lighting system as supplemental? or would you just use the uv lights?

Well its more uvb than uva.
The sun emits loads of uva and that doesn't seem to hinder outdoor growers.
All uv rays are harmful in large doses as far as i know anyway.

Heres where i am going to buy the uvb tube from.
ISO ITALIA - Tubes, UVA Lamps, UVB Tubes for Sunbeds and Tanning Units

I have also heard that some people and some strains like the cold effect but i think you'll find that they achieve that by letting the grow room get nice a nd cold during the last 4 weeks of flowering in the dark period.
