increaseing the resin production

[GeD]

Once you have flushed and the water is reading around 100- 200 drain all the water out and unplug the pump for a whole light cycle. We are going to starve these babies. You will need to keep an eye on these over the next 24 hours if they start to wilt you will need to mix some nutrient. They should be fine though. By starving the plants of water for this short period will increase the resin production on the buds. You may choose to go an extra day. Also by turning fans off, increasing the temperatures in the wardrobe will help with resin secretion too. This is an advanced technique, if you have doubts, just leave this out and continue on normally.

is this true i cant find nothing too back its case ?
would be a great tip

Smells like a pile to me. Resin production comes through good genetics and proper growing conditions, and growing the plant till it is ready. Learn to do it right, trix are for kids.

Haps layin down the law haha.. its true though

so this is now true ? any experts in da house

 

[Dr Dog]

I do not believe there is anything that can be done on the last day to increase resin.

I have tried every "trick" in the book

You know what works

Good light
Good genetics
And great additives. Micro nutrients are the key here. I do recommend Humic and Fulvic acid products

lastly, the resin is part of a self defense mechanism of the plant to protect itself from the environment. You should be shooting for cooler, dryer conditions, this will help promote increased resin production

if your bud is looking like junk, you can increase resin production by picking something else to grow

at night you would want the wind of the fans blowing and would want less humidity, in order to increase resin production
wind and low humidity (at the right time) give the best crops for outdoor farmers, and the same applies for indoors as well

That is funny as hell, and oh so true. LOL!

I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that a big bunch of potency and resin production comes from the UV-B part of the spectrum.

I've always believed that plants are genetically programed for resin production. for example...it's well known and proven that landrace varieties from areas of higher uvb rays have higher tric/resin concentrations. I personally believe this is due to natural selection though and the uvb rays aren't actually making the resin grow. I think through natural selection in a landrace the plants that naturally produce more resin are the ones more protected from these uv rays, and therefore survive to breed and pass on their traits, rather then the argument which would be that any cannabis variety would have increased resin production under these conditions. or it could be a combination of both.

or I could be wrong on all accounts, this is just speculation since I've never seen any indoor grows w/uvb done with control groups that are outdoor in a high uvb environment.

sorry if I got off topic there...

*edit I've seen scientific "proof" that uvb helps to mature the resin gland though, and help to change the different cannabiniods into thc and vise versa. so take that into consideration as well. uvb might actually help a plant "finish up" but I don't think it would actually help it to grow more actual glands. -imo-

 

[SuperConductor]

Good point. I've seen a side by side grow on another forum and it was reported that there was a visible increase either in the size or amount of the glands (can't remember which) but no increase in potency on the indica leaning plants he used. It could be different with tropical sats of course.

I've noticed a difference in resin with normal bulbs too just changing from a normal hps to a grolux. Glands are white/cloudy from early on and are very large but it's probably just the colour making them look bigger.

UVB definitely helps resin production IMO. I did a few consecutive grows, first with an HPS, then with a CMH bulb. The plants under the CMH had much more resin production and stanked like all hell compared to the HPS grown plants (same strain it was cloned white widow). The CMH bulbs have more light in the uv spectrum, it definitely makes a difference. YEah so does strain and humidity and all that but uv rays (like the sun gives off) definitely make for a more potent and more resinous mary jane plant. just my experience though

i think it is mainly genetics and good nutes and proper light, but i do believe a small amount of stress to the plant will increase trich production. i have outdoor plants, storm came through and totally trashed one plant but we fixed it up, although it lost quite a bit of yield it is by far the most resinous. another plant ,same pheno of the highly resinous plant, has alot of resin as well but not as much, and after that storm you could literally see the plant that got wrecked just pushing out crystal and stink. i dont know, until you try it dont knock it. i wouldnt purposly stress my plant to get these results, mainly becuase loss of yield, but im a believer.

and correct me if im wrong, but i thought some bloom enhancers like humboldt co snow storm sole purpose is to slitely stress the plant into pushing out resin...

I have switched from liquid KoolBloom to Cha Ching as an additive to add for resin to the buds and it has really made a big difference. The strain I am growing is already frosty on it's own so the Cha Ching is just putting the natural trich production into overdrive.
