Issue #531 - Sunday, June 19, 2022
Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- How do you grow cannabis plants so that they produce as much THC as possible? There are multiple techniques and tactics you can use to maximize THC so your buds feel as potent as possible. I also included a bonus extra article about how to maximize CBD levels!
- Four plants harvested! Two plants remain in my side-by-side defoliation experiment. Check out the pictures and learn what's happening next!
- Cannabis freaks, cannabis art, and a plant growing in a way that I find a bit freaky. Despite having way too much weed at my disposal from all of our test grows, I would still adopt any of the plants in today's "Trophy Pics of the Week" section. Does that mean I have a problem? Or does that mean that the plants shown below are just too good to pass up? You be the judge.

How to Increase THC
When Growing Weed
🌳➡✨🌳✨😲

|
When it comes to growing cannabis, there are lots of different goals by different growers. Many growers are growing medical marijuana for medical-related purposes. Others are growing for their personal adult use. For many growers, including both medical marijuana and recreational cannabis growers, a common goal is to maximize the amount of THC and other cannabinoids produced when growing cannabis (ie increase
the “potency” of your buds).
High-THC buds are the result of combining potent genetics with proper cannabis cultivation techniques.
Why Increase Maximum THC Levels?
- Increase mental and psychoactive effects from the same amount of bud (your harvest will go further)
- Many medical marijuana growers desire high THC levels for the relief of nausea, certain types of pain, spasticity, certain symptoms of multiple sclerosis, etc.
- Many of the tactics to increase THC levels also increase your overall cannabis yields
Much of the THC and “potency” in your buds is contained in the sparkly trichomes

And then there were two – June 12, 2022
This week, four of the six plants were harvested and are drying.
Here’s a snapshot of one of the two tents as we were mostly through the harvest.
There are two Platinum Cookies plants left (one from each tent). I will let them mature together until they're ready to harvest.
Left plant is defoliated, right plant was untouched after it started flowering.

I'm glad we could help. It's best to get started with something small when you don't know if the hobby is right for you or not. ~Sirius

"Want to start by saying I love this site. I’m on my 4th grow and never would have made it here without you guys. I think you guys should do a day-by-day drying tutorial."
~Johnathan
I've honestly never thought about doing a day-by-day drying tutorial, but it'sa good idea! 💡 ~Sirius
"Your newsletters and site have been very helpful to me."
~Kareem
That's a to-the-point compliment and I can dig it. 👍 ~Sirius

"The freakshow has an interesting growth pattern. I grew them in a 3L pot so that they don't take up too much space in my box. I put them in a mix of Terrasoilmix soil from cellmax and coco rhiza, fed with the nutrient pack hesi. It is a resistant plant, its foliage is really unique, it looks like a lot of mini leaves grow on each leaf. The freakshow is quite hard to sex because the female flower resembles that of the male, you really have to look for the
pistils."
~mon_monde_onirique
This is a fantastic Freakshow specimen and I think it's my first time seeing see the sex organs of one. I could see how that would be confusing! ~Sirius

"I grow weed so I can use the leaves for crafts. These are some rolling trays I made "
Lilly
These are some neat-looking trays. Wait, are you saying you only grow for the leaves or are they just a nice bonus? The thought of someone growing cannabis just for the leaves is hilarious and awesome 🤣 ~Sirius
"Gorilla glue auto
11 weeks into flower from seed
Fastbuds
Flora nova grow and bloom formula w/ dry Kool bloom"
~The joker
Wow, these are some huge, healthy colas! Nebula loves that strain. It's not often you see cannabis plants that legitimately seem to be "loitering". Folks, be careful if you ever see chunky plants lurking in your tent like in the pictures below. ~Sirius

Only 90s kids will get his scam!

Miss Cleo predicts...a future full of scammers!
In case you don't recognize the woman in the .gif above, let me introduce you to "Miss Cleo". Miss Cleo was a Jamaican shaman who used her mystical powers to divine the fates of her callers. During the 90s, she would appear on TV to convince people to call into her "Psychic Hotline" where underpaid call center representatives would pretend to know the future of anyone who called. This service was so popular, that for a time, Miss
Cleo was one of the most recognizable faces on television.
Miss Cleo wasn't actually a shaman nor was she Jamaican. The network she worked for billed their callers for over a billion dollars and were still collecting on debt for these psychic readings until the FTC intervened.
It seems silly now, but this scam ruined the lives of many people in the US. Let's all stay alert and prevent ourselves from becoming future statistics in a story about successful scams.
Remember when it comes to buying seeds: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone
call, email, etc.).

- How Long Does It Take to Grow Weed Indoors? [3 to 5 months] - It's crucial to know how long it takes to grow weed because, honestly, it's a pretty lengthy endeavor.

investment is worth it in many ways!

-
What Are the First Signs of the Cannabis Flowering Stage? - You'd be shocked at the amount of pictures we receive where some poor grower has raised
a male plant until adulthood without knowing. If you're going to grow cannabis, you gotta know how to recognize if you're growing bud or if you're growing pollen.
- 5 Effective Ways to Prevent Cannabis “Hay Smell” After Harvest - We have had a lot of people
