What specifically produces trichomes and THC?

haha, if you want more resin, drop your humididty! duh!, resin is a protector! i dont know about the other claims resin does, but i know its primary reason is for protecting the plant from drying out, fans help create more resin. The resin builds up on the leafs to retain moisture when its dry out and they feel like there beeing robbed of moisture. The more they get on the leaves the more is just all around made.

I wouldn't drop the humidity too much or your plants will transpire at a faster rate and can slow resin production, the resin is to protect the plant from UV rays, not dryness.
Try dropping the temprature in the 'morning' by dropping ice cubes at the base of the plant for three days, ten days before harvest. The plant will 'feel' winter coming on and hurry resin production

DeepFriedBrain Reviewed by DeepFriedBrain on 05-25-2007. What specifically produces trichomes and THC? Is there a specific nutrient that promotes trichome/THC production? Or some kind of stress method? I've heard that one of the uses for trichomes in nature is to protect the plant from insects and that the oil protects the leaves from excess sunlight. So how can we reproduce that effect indoors? And what is it that makes strains such as White Widow so much different than other strains and how can we encourage extra trichome production in an average commercial plant? I hope I'm Rating: 5
