Potency is the only factor you asked about that you might noticeably improve. Better flavor and smell would be things you'd try a different strain for.

Off the top of my head: fulvic acids, foliar, 2 weeks before harvest. This is supposed to increase aroma/essential oil production. Those compounds also require sulfur but you likely have that covered already.

For good taste and burning characteristics it is about tapering off the nutrients, most use plain water for the last couple weeks. Some still use molasses for the final weeks, but the minerals in blackstrap can actually contribute to harsher smoke so I would only use minor amounts if any. Then of course a proper cure is necessary.

I only use organic soil for grows and also organic nutes.....I believe proper drying and curing does more for flavor...

Along with that a good final flush before you harvest!


Also with the Earth Juice. It's a great product, very little burning and I still use it for all my Organic soil grows. One thing you should keep a eye on when using earth juice is it tends to lower your PH rather then make the PH higher.

no need to flush when 100% organic. best thing that creates the best flavor is: 100% organic, clean water, good light for nice buds, low humidity, harvesting at proper maturity. after harvest, you MUST properly dry your buds, and then cure them for the proper amount of time. this will all enhance overall flavor, quality and potency.

edit: assuming, of course, you started out with good genetics(seeds/clones) from reliable sources:)

Fulvic acids are apparently important to the Krebs cycle. Humic substances have been shown to increase everything really. They influence osmotic pressure so plant cells hold more water, increase nutrient availability (including permeability within the plant), metabolism, chlorophyll concentration and thus improve photosynthesis, carbohydrate and ATP production...humic substances also influence the activity of various enzymes within the plant.

Fulvic acids are very soluble (at any pH) and they are the smallest humic substances, so they are very readily absorbed by plant tissues and they bring the trace minerals right where the plant needs them. You can apply fulvic acids in low doses foliarly at any stage of growth to improve nutrient availability and metabolism, makes sense that applying it when the plants are at their peak for resin/essential oil production would accelerate that as well.

Here is a good, long article on humic substances for those interested. It doesn't explain exactly how fulvic acids might make your pot smell/taste better, but if you skim through it you might catch why it could be relevant to that end. It might take a few readings to achieve the more complete understanding though.

Hey dude. You seem to have been a bit paranoid when you wrote these. They don't have the money to go after all the growers. The whole fucking world is growing it. Just look at the zillion sites, retailers, seeds etc. avail on the Internet. The Narcs spend their money on cars, guns, helicopters and horse shit like that. They are not sitting there worrying about you growing one or two plants. So don't worry and share with us what you know will help us all. And if you really don't know anything, please don't write anything and keep your roll playing to yourself and spare us all.
