Increasing Potency

[RyRog345]

What are some methods used to chemically enhance or increase the potency/THC?

There are some nutes that some people swear by, but the only one that I believe because I have seen it done is through cloning. Supposedly every time you clone a plant the THC content goes up slightly. This is where the strain G-13 comes from, its the 13th clone of the oringinal strain. It also has alot to do with when you harvest the bud as far as trichome color goes. Just my two cents im sure there are things that I havent mentioned or dont even know about...

Thanks man, I'll look into that.

Any other suggestions?

What about colchicine?

well to asnwer your original question of how to enhance thc chemically i stand by a very well known product Kool Bloom, i cannot say for sure it enhances thc but it does however increase aroma, weight and stickiness, now another way to increase potency naturally is to be able to have full control of your grow room ie.. temps, humidity, ph, ppm, co2, light, i try to drop the temps near the end of flower, add extra ice to the res to simulate colder ground, lower my humidity to 40% and drop my ph to 5.4-5.6 to lock out nitrogen so the plants get complete uptake of phosphates for flower production, now cloning comes after youve mastered your grow room, if choose to do so ive been messing with the idea of not having a mother but instead just keep recloning my clones so every clone adapts a bit more to the enviroment ive created so i will eventually end up with a plant that thrives in my grow room, i dont necessarily think cloning will enhance thc but it will evolve the strain that much more and stabalize it to your enviroment so that you can reach maximum potential

Thanks calior, I'll check into Kool Bloom. I'm planning to take a botany class to get a better understanding of growing, any other suggestions?
