the best way to produce more trichs is to let your plant go past the 8 week typical...or thats how it is with some strains pobably not all..if you watch te greenhouse grow vids on youtube they always say " you can harvest her at 8 weeks but were going to go 9 to get the crystal production"...

yeaa that is true.. alotta growing websites will tell u to let it grow out an extra week or 2 to get it extra frosty.. this works best for WHITE strains. I want to try it.. but idk. lol. 1 - I'm impatient.. and 2.. i dotn like too much of a couchlock high.. and my last WW plant i harvested at 8 weeks.. and the bud was great.. adn the high was pefrect! and i dont wanna wait 9-10 weeks.. and have the high not be the same this time.... but i DO want the xtra trichs.... ughhh. catch-22 lol. decisions decisions.....

I never noticed 'more trics' later in growth. They just seem to mature from clear->cloudy-> amber, not produce more of them. The only things I know proven to increase trichs is supplemental UVB (HPS has virtually 0, which is why supplemental MH in flower is good, some uvb from them). Naturally plants closest to the equator have more thc why, because it is a sunscreen and without it they'd be dead. So in short, LEAVING plants longer != more thc, it equals different chemical makeup. It takes over a month for the trics to appear, cloud up and mature to white/amber why would you get more trics just by leaving a plant one week longer, that's not logical to me.

there is no way to make a plant's THC percent increase if a plants genetics say it has 16% THC then that's all it has...you can increase THC by volume with more resin but you cannot just create more THC % in the plant its not possible. As for the claim to UVB lighting I get your point but I dont know if I buy it...everything I've read and all the years of research I've done on cannabis I have never come across anything stating that uva or uvb rays create more resin and if I'm not mistaken in an issue of high times they even disprove that and fully state UV lamps do nothing for your plants at all....I just looked through both of my cannabis grow bibles jorge cervantes' and greg green's and neither of them say anything about UV lights and the greg green book is the most up to date scientific cannabis book out.

and bud closer to the equater is usually not more potent then bud say in humbolt ,cali no way. actually cannabis grows best on the 39th parallel which is the emerald triangle in cali and afganistan on the other side of the world which is also why afgani strains are some of the most potent in the world.

That querkle looks dope man, can't wait to see a nice focused pic! Any purple in ur Querkle pack, I've also got a ten pack sitting around. I'd like to find a nice 50/50 mix as Space Queen I feel is TOP NOTCH imo though every one is different.

no purple yet, im on day 50 today and not one bit of purple, not on the buds or leaves. ocanabis says you can chop from day 55 to day 70 and between 35 and 40 they should turn purpleish. i can say this however, qwerkles are the shit man, the most trich filled buds i have ever seen. they smell and look great. they blow all my other genetics out the water.

and thanks for the link. i read the whole thing. its similar to the one he posted in here but a bit more detailed in some aspects. i have 4 out of 6 qwerkle Z pheno (according to his description [short, grape smell, fatter leaf, less orange hairs]. ill just have to wait for the purple i guess.... the other two are way different phenotype (less sought after) they stay green, tall and lanky, more sativa like, abundance of curly orange hairs and you have to tie the branches to something or they just fall over.

As a matter of fact I dont lol but from a medicinal delivery service hah I love California. I also asked the grower a shit ton of questions about the qwerkle after reading ur thread, n he said all the phenotypes hes grown off the mother turned purple round week 5. I am also stoked for the blue cheese it sounds delicious. How much taller did ur untopped qwerkle get than ur topped one? It is said that when grown in scrog which I am doing, you dont have to top it since its so short.

wouldnt decreasing light during the last week or two decrease yield though? thats when your plant puts on the most weight right? less light ... less growth.
the amount of trich's you could possibly produce with darkness is far over shadowed by the amount of yield that you will LOSE!!! this idiotic at best!!! If you've done everything right in your grow than you should have dank weed I highly doubt you'd even notice the difference in the quality of your weed but you sure would notice the difference in the weight of it the last 2 weeks is the best production time in the whole life cycle I'll be damned if I'm gonna rob them bitches of that Bud BULKING light but you can do what you want hell it's your weed and your wallet!

One Love!

all the qwerkle were topped, the ones i didnt top were 1 sour bubble and 1 mex shwag bagseed. im thinkin of scrog next round also. link me to your journal if you do one for those tga strains. beware the qwerkle is succh a low yielder, its crazy.

low yeilder? hmm..subcool said different I thought..but its all good I guess DSC00758.jpg heres on of ur clones there all loking great!

well he says that its not a good yielder, he doesnt say poor. the reason i got bad results is cuz i topped above the second nodes and didnt veg long enough. im pretty sure of it. the couple i topped above the seventh nodes ...they have a decent yield. i was gonna get yours cut yesterday but i dont think their quite ready yet. im gonna sit down tonight and figure out the best way to do it. meaning one branch off each plant or just butcher a whole plant ...cuz i need some for me too...

is that pic sharksbreath (i forgot already which i decided on lol)? looks good man.
