I was reading the book "invisible marijuana" and he was talking about treetop grows. he stated that cause the plants are closer to the sun then on the ground. the plant will produce more resin to protect themselves from the rays.

While its true that better light makes for bigger badder buds, its my understanding that trichomes are the female plants way of helping the males pollen stick to them, though i could be wrong on this one.

zeus is correct. resin is for catching pollen. it has a few other uses but that is the main reason it is created. this hypothesis is proven wrong simply from indoor grows. there still is resin on the plants though theres no UV rays, so how could it be possible?

seeing as how the sun is 93 million miles from earth, I can take an educated guess to say +/- 100ft or so would make no difference.

ya i geusse so. i dont think it makes more resin up there just flows more? at the end of my flowering i put my plants in 72 hours dark to produce more resin, no light or heat.

I also thought it was for catching pollen. They say sensimila has more resin content cause the female produces more to try to catch more pollen.

Orange SHovel. Your MH do produce a slight amount of UVA, UVB rays. If you where to add a UV lamp, have both HPS,MH when flowering you will see a considerable amount of more resin then with out it.

TMB, 100 feet might not sound like a lot. I'm in FL 6 feet above sea level. That extra 100 feet, believ me makes a dif., the sun is so intense here.

Back to it being sunblock. I'll quote what he said. "THC is the cannabis plant's sunblock. So the more ultraviolet rays the plant receives, the more punch it will pack. Where would you expect to get a worse sunburn, on top of a tree or under grow lamps? I have conducted extensive experiments in hash and hash oil refining and have found that the THC oil content in my plants is 15% higher than hydroponically grow cannabis commonly sold on the streets."

In that chapter he, is comparing his methods of growing compared to hydro in doors.

i dont think it makes any difference putting it in a tree or putting it in an open are that gets just as much sun.. Ummm as far as i knew pollen still flys around everywhere not just in trees. Ive heard of this just to hide them from other people not form growing good weed gl....
