Increasing Cannabis Potency During the Growing Process
When it comes to growing cannabis, there are lots of different goals
by different growers. Many are growing marijuana for medical-related purposes. Others are growing for their personal adult use. For many 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).
This cannabis bud was grown to produce the highest levels of THC possible - as a side
effect it is dense, sticky and looks great.
Why Increase Maximum THC Levels?
- Greater 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 things you do to increase THC levels will also increase your overall cannabis yields.
However, not every grower
wants the highest levels of THC in their bud, and may actually be seeking other cannabinoids found in certain strains. For example there are many medical marijuana growers who prefer low-THC, high-CBD cannabis, which is non-psychoactive and may be of interest to those looking for possible relief from anxiety or seizures. Learn more about the difference between CBD and other cannabinoids like THC (unfortunately you can't use grow methods to increase CBD levels, you need to start with a low-THC, high-CBD strain).
Much of the THC and "potency" in your buds is contained in the sparkly trichomes Click here to read the rest of the article on the website, or go directly to the topics that interest you below! What Increases THC Levels and Overall
Potency?
These are the most important factors that will affect your THC levels and overall marijuana potency:
Unknowns: These Growing Methods May Increase THC But Aren't Well-Tested
These are some of the common ways growers try to
increase the THC levels of their cannabis. These techniques and methods are considered "unknowns" because there hasn't been a whole lot of scientific testing to see what works and what doesn't work as far as increasing THC.
Conclusion: Time to Grow More Potent Cannabis!
There are certain techniques that will definitely maximize the THC produced by your cannabis, and there are other methods which may increase
potency but their effects are less certain.
If you are serious about increasing the THC levels in your cannabis, make sure to follow the top steps which are known to
increase potency! Skipping any of those steps will reduce your potency for certain! Choosing the right strain, giving plenty of bright light, taking great care of your plants while they're alive, and harvesting/drying/curing properly are the most important steps you can take to increase the THC levels of your buds!
But luckily for cannabis growers, most of the "unknowns" can't hurt your plants, so there's no harm in trying them out, too!
LED vs LEC grow light
by Nebula Haze |
Don't feel bad if you've never heard of an "LEC" grow light! In fact, I only first heard that term recently at my local hydroponic store!
The people I spoke with told me that LEC grow lights are the future of grow lights. In fact, they've actually stopped carrying LED grow lights altogether!
So what's an
LEC grow light?
|
It's sort of a trick. "LEC" stands for "Light Emitting Ceramic." These lights are more commonly known as a "Ceramic Metal Halide" or CMH. A ceramic metal halide is a lot like a regular metal halide, but it uses a ceramic arc tube like an HPS, which gives it some notable improvements over a regular metal halide.
Can LECs compete
with LEDs as the grow light of the future?
Unfortunately the jury is still out, but growers are testing out the technology as we speak! Until then we have to decide for ourselves based on what we know!

Hi nebula,
After years of successful growing outdoors had ran into a major problem that seemed unsolvable.
Your site was the only one where I could put two and two together.
Its a ph drop. Somehow my dam water had dropped a full ph point in the
last three months.
I'm thinking, nitrogen dficiency this early in veg? No way. Tested ph this morning, six instead of seven.
Thanks groover, back to mammoth plants again rather than these sick and wan things with red stems.
Keep up the great work. Peaceout.

This is my first dwc grow. My second grow ever. Vegged under 600w mh. This is day 4 of flower under 600w hps. Strain is Micky Kush. None of this would have been possible without growweedeasy.
Cheers,
