I curently do a couple different things and im curious if people have had exspereince with these practices or different ones? I currently leave my plants in the dark for 48h before harvest. The last week till harvest I split the main stem. I also add solistek 10k finisher mh bulbs with enhanced uv rays the last 2weeks till harvest. Then I also add a shit ton of different sugars the last 4weeks till harvest, avaga nectar cane mollases and white sugar. Have people done these practices and what exspereinces have u had? Also do people do any different practices to increase potency? Also I drop humidity to 25-30ish percent for the full flower stage

So we all agree on genes-
-The only other thing I am aware that can increase potency is the timing of harvest using the trichomes as your guide.
Most of the recommended "tricks" above may or may not enhance flavor, but certainly not increase potency as peak potency is reached- then it deteriorates over the next month's harvest window.It's all bullshit - until you smoke it!

As cannabis legalization opens up it's interesting to see so many things taken as gospel be disproved. One of my favorites is the hanging upside down to dry myth.
The other side of that though is most of us are advanced hobbyists at best and there should be a bit of "magic" in what we do. There is a certain amount of truth to, if I think it's a better product, it is, for me.

Totally agree on genetics and harvest times. My personal views are that everything we do to increase potency actually are flavor enhancers. I have tried molasses and milk, and it didn't make it more potent but it was a different taste in my opinion. All in all I try things like everyone else but do it to have fun.

I think a perfect environment would produce the best product. This said getting a perfect environment may cost more than the product is worth. I know cretin things would make my grows produce a slightly better product but I don't feel that it worth the effort and cost to get that extra 5 percent. Now if u could prove that splitting a stem or dark before harvest did anything. And prove it in a way u can repeated the results. I would be interested in trying it.It's 4:19 u got a minute?

Hormones for plants
Germination:- Gibberellic Acid - can help take seeds out of dormancy
Vegetative phase:- Gibberellic Acid - can stimulate premature flowering or stimulate growth
- Auxin - can help with growth (when combined with Brassinolide)
- Fulvic Acid - can help transport hormones throughout the plant
- Cytokinine - especially Kinetin - can help with new growth and expand growth
Flowering phase:- Ethylene - can increase female flower production
- Gibberellic Acid - can help prevent frost damage to the buds

Probably same principles as splitting the stalks, but we use to wait about a month or so before harvest and we would pick a certain bud and badly wound it by almost breaking it into ,an it definitely seemed to be the strongest bud on the plant after harvest too, something about the plant trying to heal itself from the damage that came from the wound.Cfls for a week or two
