Controlling THC Levels

[toketome]

How do you control the the THC levels and potency while growing. I'm not looking to blast off are anything (uh-oh newbie alert) just relax, get mellow.

Genetics play the main roll in getting high thc levels. other than that just growing the plant to its full potential is really all you can do.

How do you control the the THC levels and potency while growing.

Get a good strain and you'll have good thc. Not much else you can do. Some people say you can reduce the light schedule the last week to increase thc, but I've never seen it.

Then there is the radical idea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPcpt3Be28o) of using supplemental UVB lamps.
Yes they are dangerous but... further study

I don't think UVB lamps are even CLOSE to worth the extra electric and risk involved. CO2 or carbohydrate supplements are SAFE and CHEAP and effective in helping the plant realize its genetic potential to produce resins.

[Shadrockbjj]

try supper cropping your plants it will increase your plants stem girth and therfore allows more food to pass through your plant making bigger and stronger buds
