start with good genetics.... you might as well ask how to make Honey Bo Bo smart and attractive.

Simple answer: grow healthy plants and they will be as potent as their genetics allow.
There are really no "secret ingredients" that will lead to earth shattering results.
Will a bone meal tea increase potency? Only if your plant wasn't already getting enough phosphorus. If your plant already had sufficient phosphorus, adding more will only cause you problems.
On another note... Bone meal is best added to your soil before planting instead of trying to brew it into a tea.

happy plants are potent plants.......like everyone said, genetics and plant health are the biggest contributors to potency...... along with other factors such as ventilation and choice of lighting (some would argue co2 and UV play a part too, but that's a whole different story) A NPK neutral worm casting slurry/tea never hurts

Carbohydrates like Bud Candy help increase potency, aroma, taste, and yield

str8 water, a good Supersoil recipe, and a good cut / lucky seed. That will make ur weed as potent as it gets.

You're not going to increase the THC level from what the genetics of your cut dictate, HOWEVER, as the THC is found in the terpines, there is some interesting research being done to increase trichome/terpine production with Methyl Jasmonate/Jasmonine. Google is your friend. It seems that cannabis (and plants in general) emits the pheromone jasmonine in response to insect attack, and that is thought to increase terpine production in surrounding plants thereby increasing THC production. I'm not really willing to try spraying the stuff on my plants, but plan on attempting to "fool" a plant or two into thinking it is being attacked by snipping leaves to mimic insect attack and see what happens. Here's a starting point for ya. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_jasmonate and http://www.methyljasmonate.com/main.html This is assuming that one of the functions of terpine production in cannabis is to inhibit or deter insect attack.

Their is nothing you can do to make a plant more potent. If you want more potent pot start with quality genetics.

Really great answers... Start correct, or get lucky along the way... haaaa... It takes a good plan... Think, GREEN... You can not make your plant be more potent... but you can make your buds bigger, by adding time in veg, and treating your plant with love....lights... more lights = thicker dense buds... don't buy into the snake oil sheiot sold ... and ... GOOD LUCK!
