Maximising THC content of an outdoor grow?

[rhizome]

if u environmentally stress ur plants during the last 2 weeks THC production will increase-? dramaticly well the whole Cannabnoid - tric

Sorry- myth....

Most environmental stresses will actually decrease production.


Using a battery powered fan won't increase production either, but it will help to control/prevent fungal issues.

And you can piss on it and it gives it b vitamins... and you can use a black light in the night cycle... Its funny how people just pull false information out of their ass... BTW THESE ARE MYTHS...

Damn... death by slugs... that would suck.

well SOME STRESSES might be true if some r myths n no i dont pull shit out my ass

my env stesses were found through years of my own Cannabis cultivation i dont spread lies ive only tried a few stesses n ive had fair resaults but the one i most proud of is frost this stressed my plants out n i use it every year do it or not i dont care

i'm not trying to attack you. Its just that stress is the opposite of what you want. Stress slows growth, therefore, slows production. So how does that increase potency/yeild? You should explain the reasoning behind it. You say frost stress makes it more potent...okay.. why is that?

some environmental stresses really do work the plant senses the stress say frost n the Cannabiss only defense is to produce more tricromes overnight or in a short time they contain chemicals known as cannabinols these "crystals" contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) THC is usually found in high percentages 30% in some sativas n 0.2% in some mid-western wild dirt weed ssp there r also other known chemicals witch also add to ur high the tricromes work in overdrive sensing cold danger n genetically potent Cannabis will be more potent

Umm... couple o' things...

Trics are not a defense against cold weather. As an annuals, the only " defense" against damaging cold that cannabis sp. possess is reproductive selection toward earlier flowering individuals. They adapt to local conditions, rather than fighting them.

Remember- the plant's only goal is to produce viable seed ( or, more precisely, viable reassortments of it's genome) - a sunscreen which happens to have , under some circumstances, psychoactive effects on some mammals is really incidental, as far as preventing damage to the seed chromosome. The only way in which " potency" is a reproductive advantage is that humans are more likely to husband the seed of more potent parents

Ain't no such thing as 30% THC (wet weight) in any strain, anywhere- pre-decarboxylated d9 acid, at room temperature, is gonna be a liquid. Given that we can expect 80% weight loss during the drying period, bud @ 30%(wet weight) THC would be either a gel or a slurry- I'm not sure which. Anybody got a Merck handy?

I know that breeders will claim very high %'s- All I can say is that they must be using some neat math.

WELL WOW
i gues im wrong then

im a breeder so then im using untrue math n my made-up potentcy crap for what

hey could u be wrong guy but i am huh

it works ill be using this the idea but its a unture myth just like how fairies enclosed me into a protective bubble -myth huh

60% genetics, 30% plant health, 10% harvest/post harvest technique.

true, and the harvest and drying, as you say, can be significant .. :thumbsup:

excuse me for hijacking a bit here, but, are fast-flowering strains developed, thru the use of cold-climate, acclimated parentage ?? ... that had never occurred to me, makes sense ... is it true ? ... :smokin:

If you want to continue growing the wrong way then thats your business... But if you tell someone "frost makes plants more potent" be sure to tell them that you base that one absolutely nothing. Horticulture is a science, and science is based on fact. Fact is something that can be tested, proven and explained. Now I'm not calling you a liar, I am still open minded to the frost theory. I am just one of those people that asks "why" alot. Where did this theory originate? Did you experiment yourself or did someone you know tell you this? What made you decide to experiment with cold finishing temperatures?
