I’ve been doing some research online to find tips that increase the THC content of your plants.

Here’s what i’ve come up with:

1. Water
Many studies have been carried out on the relationship of water and THC content and all seem to agree that when faced with low water supply and low humidity THC levels are increased.

2. Light
These [studies] showed that under conditions of high UV-B (280-315 nm) exposure, cannabis produces significantly greater quantities of THC.

3. Stress
I have also come across many tips about wounding your plant to increase THC. “Wounding” refers to maybe bending the stem a little or cutting it with a clean razor. I’m told anything above these wounds, will become stronger when it heals. “What doesnt kill you makes you stronger.”
I dont know the exact numbers, but I know that those who do this, definitely see in increase in crytallized resin, stem and flower growth.

Any other tips are greatly appreciated. Anyone who finds anything contrary, PLEASE post and correct the mistakes. 🙂

Happy Growing!

If you’re serious about growing, which you seem to be, then I strongly recommend this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Marijuana-Horticulture-outdoor-Medical-Growers/dp/187882323X Worth every penny and contains all the information you could possibly need to start and maintain an indoor grow.

Just be aware of your local and national laws regarding cannabis growth and possession. I bought the book with the intent of growing a few years ago, unfortunately I never really got started as I became a bit too high profile to risk it. Still don’t regret purchasing the book though as it has still taught me a lot about marijuana, an interesting read even if I never put my knowledge into practice.
