it might for some strains...maybe
but it's scientific fact!!!still lookin for a citation on the lack of n increasing thc levels. I'm not really buying it as it makes no sense at all.

Ive smoked all but the Docs and Night Terror out of that list but I'm about to chop my night terror in about 2 weeks and she is looking DANK. Ill post some pics up tonight if I can.
They are all good, Walker Kush being my least favorite. What kind of effects you looking for?
They're also chopping the plants in the first half of August.^ of course this test was done on hemp, and there are some people who will try and say but but but hemp hemp hemp. Hemp is cannabis, just lower than 1% thc...
Then there are those who want to say BUT BUT BUT they tested thc content in leaves! Well, once again leaves are plant tissue. Buds are plant tissue.

The goal of this test was to find ways to lower THC levels in hemp. Raising nitrogen levels will do this.
These experiments show that the THC content of leaves decreases with increasing N doses. This phenomenon is favorable for agricultural production, because nitrogen fertilization will increase stem yield and simultaneously decrease THC content of the plant significantly. Additional studies are necessary to determine optimal N dose/ha, time of application, fertilizer type and the lowest THC content achievable under field conditions.

yes, not being a botanist I could be using the wrong words here, but something like...They're also chopping the plants in the first half of August.
Yes if you feed too much N it will stop flowering, but that's using something like a 5-1-1. Cannabis needs less K than a fruiting plant like a pepper or a tomato but still has a certain requirement to flower.
I don't think the context of that study is very applicable to what we do, nor are their methods of growing very refined or dialed in. I'm all about the Brix sugar levels and to optimize these you need to have a perfect balance of nutrients. If you overfeed N, which is probably what they did, I can see it.^ of course this test was done on hemp, and there are some people who will try and say but but but hemp hemp hemp.

And on this we are 100% agreed!Either way, I am a firm believer in growing how you feel is best. Just food for thought.
Right, but until I see ANY study that shows nitrogen improving THC levels, Ill stick to what I have seen. That is, results higher n levels SIGNIFICANTLY lowered THC levels.I don't think the context of that study is very applicable to what we do, nor are their methods of growing very refined or dialed in.

Out of my tester blue ox beans all of them had the blue berry taste to it. 1 was more of a bubble coffee taste but still had that fruit to it and they all went passed 75 days which to me was too long for a bubble crossHow did you like the Blue OX?
Ive got it in veg right now, 7 females out of a 12pack of seeds (Bought a 10pack, had 12 seeds, 100% popped) and it looks really interesting.
Yeah how was potency? I dont mind the flower time if it produces buds that are top notch. Do you have any pics of it? How was the yield?Out of my tester blue ox beans all of them had the blue berry taste to it. 1 was more of a bubble coffee taste but still had that fruit to it and they all went passed 75 days which to me was too long for a bubble cross
I really like the blue ox I have a pack in the stash as well. It is a great pain reliever and it's one of those indica highs that relax you but don't glue you to the couch. I've had it numerous times and sometimes it's been better than others. The best one tasted exactly like the descriptionHow did you like the Blue OX?
