how to increase thc production at week 6?

Ya fuck all that weird shit, just grow good genetics and you are good to go. I will say thou when i grew in soil ive grown plants both with and without molasses, and i did notice a difference, the THC level was the same on both my lemon skunk plants, but the one with molasses had more resin glads, and i slightly better taste when smoked, but the high was all the same between the two clones that came from the same mother.

if you're looking for a proven technique, then i'm afraid you've more anecdotal remedies coming your way. Though this is my first post, i've read a substantial amount on the production of resin in marijuana. I'm afraid there's no magic trick to increase resin or thc production.

Every strain has different genetic traits, just as you or i have our respective genetic traits. Thc content is one of those genetic traits. In other words, the plant you are talking about already has its mind made up as to how much thc, cbd, cbc, et al cannabinoids is going to be present in the plant. Furthermore, and without delving too deep into science, thc in its psychoactive form isn't even present until it has been decarboxylated from thca by a. Heat or b. Time. So, the question you really want to be asking is "how do i up the thca content in my bud?" to which the only real suggestion i would have for you is to do some research on the conversion of complex sugars into cannabinoids, maybe try molasses. Another suggestion is to find a way to increase the production of olivetolic acid and geralyn phosphate, the two ingredients that, through an enzymatic reaction, produces thca.

Now, if you're genuinely serious about increasing the potency of your marijuana i suggest you do some reading. Cannabis alchemy by d.gold would be a good place to start. There you will read (in fairly great detail) the step by step process of using solvents to extract the resin from your marijuana by refluxing it with alcohol, distilling off the solvents, purifying the oil by re-extraction with petroleum ether, distilling that off, converting the cbd to thc, isomerizing it to the higher d9 rotation, and re-coating your buds with isomerized oil (leaving them up to 12x more potent!:d)

so far, that's really the only legitimate process i've seen or heard of for a man-made increase of potency. Hope this helps!

That attitude is the cancer that is currently thriving and eating this community apart. Of course, I have nothing better to do at 9:47 in the morning than copy and paste a bunch of jargon filled gobbledygook on a forum so the rest of the world will look at it and think "Oh, how cool is that guy!?" Get real. OP requested knowledge, I provided what I could. I've spent approximately a masters degree's worth of time studying medical marijuana while dealing with this prohibition bullshit. Now, I'm not here to knock anyone's propensity as a writer, journalist, student, knowledge gatherer, or otherwise. If, someday, we all want legalization we're all going to have to play for the same team. Throwing around cheap insults will get us nowhere, and will only distinguish you along with the other flagrant fuck heads that are inhibiting what would otherwise be seen as a communal effort!

You can have your thread back now.

The only proven technique is one you have proven yourself. Strains have built in traits which result in the finished products quality and quantity. Techniques like topping or lollipopping don't increase yield or potency, no, but it does allow you to maximize your grow area and get as much as you can for the area you are working in. You will never get a plant to grow bigger or better then genetics allows but you can maximize your quantity in your grow area by training your girls with some of these techniques. Hope this clears it up for you a little JAS

there is nothing you can do ! You could have it 65f to 95 f. Humidity 35 % co2 perfect and feeding the best fertilizer on earth. If the plant genetics are worn out or just not prize winners. They wont make those super sexy crystals. Week 6. I would suggest pumping the potassium very hard . To get the extra weight onto buds. I switch from 10 30 10 to a 5 55 5 . Pound those buds as hard as possible ! Right up to your flush. I fuck around with 50 different strands at once . And that's what i see. Some plants grow huge. Massive yields. Others small very high class. So its a trade off. Rare they will be a massive yield pound or more that is an a plus winner. To me tuve smaller the plant the better the end quality. Im saying high quality as a 20 % thc. And the massive yields around 10 to 14. And the plants have the same veg times. Same height when entering flowering . And one will finish 8 feet tall the other 4 feet tall. Point it they do what they want. No way to change nature of the plant. We can make improve upon on. But not change the genetics.
