AH! There it is!
Faster cure.....Not a THC increasing issue! I thought so...Hmm, "faster cure"........now how do I boil water in my op building - lol.
Still, I might have to try that!
BIG tip -o- the hat to Barn Buster.....

I think I will stick to what works best, the natural way.

I agree, A 3 ft plant will have less THC by volume then a 12 ft plant would, But It will still only have x amount attainable per plant.@Budget Buds
@Richard Drysift
I think there maybe a misnomer of understanding here.
You CAN NOT increase the POTENCY of THC in the plant.
By increasing the amount of Trichomes ...... You do increase the VOLUME of available THC.......
Basic math guys!

Another grower prefers to risk igniting his plants to kill gnats

In all seriousness, should you find that you're toking like mad,
and getting little buzz, take a rest for 7-14 days or so,
as the effects(THC) does build up in the body, or perhaps its the body easily absorbs thc
either way, a rest is good in the biz its called a holiday!
good luck

Yeah, I tried to tell folks how to get/have better herb, not many listen, but a few do

a little copy paste from ht
After repeated tests using the same strains and a variety of controlled growing situations it was found that there is cause and effect when it comes to getting better qualities from their chosen medicinal cannabis genetics.
1. Bioactive substances that are naturally occurring can enhance resin content. In simple terms, there are 100 percent natural ingredients in crop nutrient supplements that can stimulate a higher concentration of resins in the buds harvested. This can help to increase dry weights as well as potency characteristics including terpene profiles and production. There is no “silver bullet,” so beware of outrageous claims, but there are ingredients in nature that will increase trichome production and resin secretion in a variety of crops, including cannabis.
2. Lighting Wave Lengths or Grow Light Spectra can be altered, with the most advantage being in late bud or ripening, to create a kind of “light stress” that triggers plants to secrete a more resins; perhaps as a defense mechanism. For example, by incorporating specialized light sources that use far red LEDs to tickle the plants will produce resin levels beyond what plants of the same genetics could do without. Seeing is believing.
3. Environmental factors like carbon dioxide levelsand temperature will also effect cannabis crop resin production; particularly during the ripening phase proceeding harvest. Lower CO2 levels will allow the plants to exhibit a higher ethylene level, the plant's self-produced hormone that assists in ripening and maturation, which includes resin glands. In some strains, lower temperatures during the final will create a stress that triggers plants to mature. Most cannabis plants, via genetics, take this as the “last lap” signal and give whatever they have left via their trichomes and resin secretion. It also stimulates the resins the maturation of the resin already produced, including aromatic characteristics.
How you handle the crop at and post harvesting will also effect the quality and characteristics of the resins your crop of medicinal buds produced, so handle with care.

I have found to much temp is a problem. Since being below 80° my icky sticky is up.

YUP! That's right!
But, what their saying is you can increase the "resin" and you can alter the terps.....Not increase the potency OF the THC - that has a genetic "brick wall"..
K sulphates and Mg sulphates along with some form of sugar in the mix will increase the amount of trichomes, thus increasing the AMOUNT of available THC. NOT increase the potency of the THC!
Like I said earlier. You can increase the volume and that's what you do by increasing the amount of trichomes....
Understand now?

Colder night temps or a bit larger temp "swing" from lights on to lights off can have an effect too.
You want more trich's? More "flavor".....
1 Gallon water (RO)
8 TBL Epsom salts
1 1/2 tsp DARK brown sugar
1 opaque gallon jug
Boil like 3-4 cups of the water and add the dry ingr. and boil for a few min stirring constantly to ensure the ingr. are dissolved.
Pour the hot water mix into the gallon jug with the rest of the water already in it and cap and shake well!
For the last week before the light change use 5ml per gallon of feed
at the flip - 10ml per
week 3 &4 15ml per
week 5 - 20ml till harvest
You'll get what you looking for with this...

The main thing I got from the article is that first and foremost you need to know your strain, as the article says "in some strains" and also states "in most strains" so again it comes down to experience being the "magic potion"
At least that's the part I plan on working on
