Growing for terpenes?

Cannabis has been crossed and spread so much that u must unlock each plants individual characteristics. No 2 seeds are the same, even clones can show different pheno expressions based on environment and organic inputs.

From our research...the more organic inputs u can add the better. We use teas and fermented plant juice for our inputs.

We use barley, yuca, alfalfa, greek yogurt, yeast, kelp, fish, benes, humic, molasses and any fruit pulp. This time of year the fruit pulp is pumpkin lol. We blend then add to a bucket with a bottle of multivitamins and dolomite lime. 2 cups to each 5g tea brew.

Not saying do what we do, but add as many organic inputs as possible.


DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH UV-C. Grab some lizard bulbs.

If you really want to go the extra mile get yourself some bulbs that produce UV-C spectrum. It's by far the strongest of the UV spectrum, which in turn is something that can do the most damage to your skin (think cancer.)

This has to be the single stupidist thing I've seen posted anywhere.
For anyone reading that please note that UVc is used for sterilisation purposes because it kills living organisms outright.

For the love of God don't put UVc in your grow room

So a bottle of Flintstone Gummie vitamins is organic ? Seriously

“ In ... Too .... Westing ! “ ...

Used to pour a bottle of beer into a “ cooking “ bin of composting soil. Heard the yeast help get things moving . Did same thing into no till recipes , then cook in plastic tubs after awhile the rhizomorph stringers would show a bit.

I will pass on adding the centrum silver .

Ozone generators also kills organic matter but people use them for Odor suppression. I've personally read a few articles explaining how some cannabis plants react to UV. Certain plants respond by creating more trichomes while others may degrade. There is no clear cut way to grow cannabis.

I'm fine with UV, I use it myself. UVa and UVb (to some extent) can show positive reactions but no UVc reaches plants on our planet naturally.

I know, it's Wikipedia here's another and there's plenty more if you search

Another point on UVc: I tried using it to sterilise my res's. The idea being I could avoid change outs by constantly sterilising, adding more RO and nutes as required. We'll it didn't take too long for a sediment to start forming in the res and the plants to start showing Fe deficiencies so if you're gonna do what I did you'll constantly need to supplement Fe.

As for ozone I've used it before activated carbon filters were easily available. Pumping that shit into growrooms is also a great way to kill or mess plants up, I used it on the ducting removing air from the property only after finding that out.
How did I find out ozone kills plants?
Unfortunately it was the hard way.
