fuzzy is spot on, have some reps sir if it lets me,
it seems lowering the humidity in flower is the best option to increase trich production, how ever the extra trich is hardly going to be noticed, most of the strength and trich is strain related, a lot of sativa strains dont produce much trichs and heavy indica plants produce lots of trichs, how ever this does not mean the strength is lower it just means their less of it.
so if you dont want the huge couch lock affect then harvest when the plant is ripe and thc is at its highest (100% cloudy or 90 to 95%cloudy as it will mature while drying for a day or 2), but if you choose an indica heavy strain then its going to give you the couch lock affect at 100% cloudy.
so something like a cheese or a skunk will have heavy couch lock affect even at 100% cloudy, letting it go amber turns the thc into cbn's, this is what gives us the stronger affect, how much stronger is hard to say, but i harvest mine at 20 to 40% amber and it turns out how i like it and helps me sleep, if i want a daytime smoke ill grow a sativa strain or 60% plus sativa strain. most of the trich production is down to good genetics, so choose a good strain and it will produce well, most land race strains dont produce huge amounts of trich or high cbn levels as this is why breeders have bred all these new strains so we can now buy products that we want to grow, if you want a strong strain then you got many indicas to choose from,
i harvested a critical sensi star a few weeks back and had a spliff last night, smoked half and i felt very nice, ive grown strains with plenty of trichs such as ak47 x uk cherry cheese alongside strains that dont produce much trics, both grown in same humidity and temps so clearly id have to say the strain plays the most important part in trich production indoors,
outdoors on the other hand im sure the sun plays a big part, if i remember right the sun gives us around 1000watts per ft, so the higher intensity and full light spectrum may play a part in this plus i guess depending on where in the world you live it may affect results,
i have heard that flowering plants in the middle of summer produces bigger buds how ever, indoors we use red light for flower and blue for veg, but this goes against flowering plants in the middle of summer, in the end of summer the red spectrum is more intense outdoors as the sun is lower down in the horizon, but flowering in the middle of summer seems to produce better results and bigger buds so clearly the whole spectrum plays a part and the extra light also may help, ive not grown outdoors yet so cant comment to much on outdoor growing, but im sure if you grew many strains outdoors you would have some covered in trich and others that dont have as much trichs on them,
m sure strain is the main part that produces the trichs, well im sure screwing up can cause a lot less trichs so getting the environment right will always produce good results
