PMSL!! I will hold off then,would hate to buy it then u come out and say its bad! Correct me if i'm wrong,But if this snowstorm does increase trich production, Then does that mean that it will be more potent as it's got that extra resin?? catch ya!!
there are a few things that can increase resin production, i think lol. i think yorkie told me that plants had been tested after doing a side by side. one was flushed for the last 2 weeks and the other was given nutes till the end. the one that had the nutes had more thc. someone else told me to move the light up for the last week because the heat from the light dries up the thychs. ive done the move the light up and i'd say the top part of the plant looked like it had a bit more on it

Yes I did mate, sort of.

Plant's that are flushed for the last couple of weeks have a resin detriment compared to plants that aren't, that info came from an interview with 'Dr Hornby' PhD by Cannabis Culture.





"Cannabis Culture: What type of doctor are you?

Dr. Hornby: I have a PhD in Human Pathology. During my masters degree in Biochemis try, I worked with compounds that altered human physiology; and in my masters degree I worked with anaesthetics.

(Long story short)

DH: It peaks?I don?t know if I should be talking about this? well, I guess it?s okay. We?ve recently discovered a phenomenon in growing an eight week plant. The THC peaks between weeks six and seven and it?s about two or three points less at week eight as it is at week seven.


CC: Why?


DH: Well that?s because you?re flushing. And when you flush, you stop your nutrient flow into your plant; it quits producing resinous cannabinoids, your leaf weight increases into the last week, but you don?t see the cannabinoids increase. You?re diluting your cannabinoids in the leaf weight. But if you cut it at week seven, you?re going to get the nutrients in your bud. There?s a catch-22 there. We?re trying to sort out which nutrients are required to keep the THC coming while the flush is continuing, if that?s possible. So, this is news for all growers. We discovered this phenomenon about a month ago. We?ve seen it before ? it just hadn?t really come clear in our minds."

Cheers for that link yorkie, interesting read.
@mrt what other products is there for boosting resin production? And if the plant is pushed to put out more trichs, does it obviously mean it's more potent?

i use the stuff and the gravity, go fuckin easy with it. I've burnt my lot more than once with the stuff. it used to be purple maxx then they split the products i reckon the purple maxx was actually better but i don't think they do it anymore
What dose do you start with then don? I read that it burns easily

get a Metal Halide bulb in your grow or a UV Bulb, that'll change the range of the cannabinoids. probably affect your high more than the snow storm.

off hand couldn't tell ya, probably why i keep burning stuff tbh. i'll have a look at the bottle tonight, but basically a tiny dose is needed. even smaller if your using with the gravity though i have't used that for ages. it's basically just water retention from what i can gather. these days i want to add weight by helping the plant do it more naturally, though i do still use boosters like pk13/14, when i run the bottle out i'm going back to hammerhead and was thinking about overdrive but hadn't made my mind up yet.

the uvb reptile bulb is supposed to be good like don said. ive seen some good grows with people using them. im not the best to answer that. it should have more thc if its got more trychs. but it'll depend on the strain percentage of thc imo

these are the bulbs, from what ive read get the 10.0 (desert) ones

mollases isent that to hide the smell?
Molasses is used mainly to feed the bugs and microbes which live in organic soil. Those bugs then break down the other stuff in the soil, which the plant then feeds on. I found that it's mainly sugar (good for microbes, but impossible for a plant to use), with very little actual food or nutrients for the plant in it, so I wouldn't recommend it for a hydro system. In my soil it started to build up, causing lock-out problems. If you're going to use it, don't go overboard.

Your a lucky guy then. Not just because u all sort each other out, But cos you get to smoke psycho!!! i've been wanting to try that stuff for ages!!
P.S Thanks for the links to the uvb bulbs. I have herd of using an MH bulb for the last 2week and using uvb's but i thought it had to be the expensive "grow bulbs" never even thought of the reptile ones!!
