Increasing Trichome Production before harvest?

Science also thought the world was flat at one time...
Jus sayin

Science never said the world was flat, old wives did

^^jus making a lil point, one being, even quantum physics is not proven, by any means..theories and practices are constantly being refined and are evolving every day..
Science proves itself wrong all the time..

to get back on topic.. heres what a lil cmh added to a hps grow can do..

this isnt really a good example.i cant tell if its the strain that produced that or what.. if you did a side by side comparison picture that would be better. but other than that i cant prove that cmh had that effect

That's OK. Plucking the leaves on a companion plant will give the same result.

what do you mean by companion plant dude? if your talking about another plant close by then its technically the same thing..im not gonna stunt one plant to help with the other.explain more..

stress em really hard the last 2-3 weeks. the resin is a defense against too much light and heat. don't go crazy but really starve em out and treat em harsh near the end. you want those bitches to be hideously shiny when done.

I use T5 HO reptile bulbs,they put out way more UV than the cfl's and run fairly cool. Arcadia makes the strongest at 12% UVB 30% UVA and Zoomed makes the next best at 10% UVB 30% UVA. I run them for 5 hours during flower.

You are totally wrong dude! The last two to three weeks is the most important of the whole crop.the last 8-12 weeks is when they pack on the most weight and dense up..so something I'm definitely not gonna do is starve them and stunt they're growth when it's most critical

Ohh okay lol.well what's is something. You would plant near and how far would ou put it just next to the pot?

Guess u would have to just trust me, I've ran those strains at least 25 different round in a perpetual, under all types of lights and with all types of different nutes, etc.. I have a few witnesses that can testify also,, peace out,, keep it green

i guess you're a fan of dark green harsh burning plants at harvest.

seems to me there should rationally be a light spectrum number like blue 430 or orange red 670 i think that would not only cause trichome production but cause what i think of as the holy grail of thc =V.since all i have read on this topic pertains directly to equatorial sativas grown in the mountains.my view is leds should be able to mimic this albiet some say thcv comes from radation. or that all thrich production is depedant on some level radation.i have heard of people using industrial 1500 watt metal halids borrowed from industrial construction site.getting mutant seeds from g-13 grown under 1,500.

Ok so I have read that it is best to foliar feed weeks 1 through 3 of flip then after that stop doing it. I will try to implement this into my next flowering round.

Now photosynthesis saying that I grow for yield is basically really stupid. I haven't made a comment attacking you or your post or even saying that it was wrong about foliar feeding. I just said I don't know how I feel about foliar feeding in flowering stages that's all. Also if I was truly worried about yield why the hell would I have half my tent full of cookie crosses that barely yield anything...

I prefer quality over quantity especially since all the bud I grow is for me and some close friends.

There are reasonably priced LED's in the high end of UVA 315-400 nm but the UVB 290-315 are extremely expensive.

true man, im the same way always quality over quantity..but i dont understand why you seem to think that it would affect quality.If your talking about drenching the bud, and washing away trichomes, i can assure you this isnt gonna happen.actually the way i see it is: it rains in nature, and we as growers, try to mimic nature as best as possible but just by implementing the best case seneribviously theres different variables in nature that affect how the plant grows and its effect on them. ex. wind.. wind stimulation increses stem and fan leaf strength giving your plant a stronger structure. I just think that not much research has been done on the actual effect of water(rain) on the cannabis plant. Because I can assure you that nothing in nature, will cause cellular senescence. These plants have adapted and survived millions of years in rain,snow,wind, etc. obviously you want to create the perfect climate, but i think a little rain(foliar feeding) once in awhile especially nutrient filled rain, will not effect the plant in a negative way at all

"[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Throw up some bud shots of your foliar fed crop I want to see the yields that you are achieving with this method so this way it might convince me more to do it."

Here you go.

How about just reducing light and light levels. 10/14 and plants a bit further from the bulb.
