Am at 6545 elev. in NM so reaping these benefits already....from the research I have done the potency increase of the high elevation strains is due to lower humidity, and much higher uvb content to the sunlight. Also the lower atmospheric pressure and increased light energy from thin atmosphere accelerated the vigor as well as maturation. Now what is confounding is there is also a lower co2 and o content in the higher elevations as well so another consideration...does the lower co2 and o concentrations combined with lower atmospheric pressure also contribute? This would totally fly in the face of co2 supplementation, or would a variance of these two factors reveal a secret hidden within?I was watching the movie one of you linked about making hash by hand from living plants. in the movie the higher they went up the mountain the better the weed became. I always thought it was the higher light concentration but now i think it was the lower pressure. I used to grow in new mexico outdoor at 7000 feet and the weed grew better there than anywere i have ever lived now i know why it was not the powerful sun rays it was the lower pressure at the higher altitude.
