I grew two plants...one Blue cheese and one Church. Both grew well and produced over an oz per plant dry. (my first grow). The buds were dried and cured but when I smoke them they taste great...burn great and make me cough...but I don't get that high! :cry:

Can someone explain what could affect the THC levels in a plant. I even used a microscope to monitor tricomes and went just under 9 weeks for both.

I figured since it all grew well I would be set...guess not ug!

It could be the poor genetics, bad fertilizers, not strong enough lighting. Really a lot of things could cause it however, if you have good clones/seeds, you shouldn't have that problem.

Hey guys thanks for the help...

Box grow 2 plants
ebb and flow into rockwool
started under 200w 6700k flours
flowered under 150w hps
inline fan onto carbon for exhaust
small intake at bottom
GH products
temps 30C
circilation fan

I did over dry them because I had to leave on business so they hung in my closet for 5 days and were really dry when i returned so I put them in glass jars to cure but no moister ever came off them. :(

crap...well that means more fan power. Oh well, but you know I think you are right on the money I need to lower my temps. I am even hotter this grow by a few degrees.

Thanks.

For sure! I just harvested some bottom nugs off my sativas and I am baked right now lol...The temps have been 86-90F consistently. I did keep it watered well, only let 1 day of dry soil go by before I watered (watered about every 3 days).
