THC boost

Heu guys, I'm taking solace in the fact that I can see I'm not the only first time grower here. My question to you guys is when the plants are outside how can I boost THC levels? I see some people cut the leaves and that shocks the plant. But any other tips? Thanks guys

Cutting leaves is idiotic - doesn't increase THC.

Anything to increase it?

water & feed it the right amount
more full on sunlight the better...
use a strain that has high thc....
don't stress them...

Exposing the plant to increased amounts of UVB in the last couple weeks of flowering. Under a metal halide, UV-barrier glass gone! Outside? No way. THC is strain related for the most part and can be influenced only slightly to increase - the proper nutrient at the proper level at the exact right time. There are bulbs on Amazon (probably eBay too but I avoid them) with less barrier glass. Only the last 2 weeks, only MH, only with restrictive glass gone.
