Genetics and lighting are the 2 most important things to me

Genetics, keeping temps under control, and plucking any fan leaves that are shading buds below. There are several potions on the market claiming to increase, not sure which are legitimate but have heard some good stuff about new millennium's "winter frost"

Environment genetics light as stated above. In house genetics is known for frost, exotic genetics is great too. Check out neptune seed bank for killer seeds. I also added a UVA light and it seems to make a difference.
Terpinator adds frost to buds
I'm testing Purpinator now as well
A few other products are supposed to, but never used them

I also keep them in colder temps. Usually in the upper 60s. Give them one last really good watering/feeding then let it sit in the dark for 36 hours before harvesting.

Yep thats the way i do IT too, i like to let Them suffer from not watering Them before harvest though. With dry conditions

I found without the watering they don’t hang as long as I’d like. Even after Bud washing. << Have you tried that yet?

Oh Man i didnt even thought we could wash Bud. I just went to Read à thread hère about IT. I Grow in à sealed growroom, always take care of being clean like a chirurgian before going in. But yeah ! I would definitly give IT à go! For the Hanging part , yes its actually take less Time to dry out with the technic i mention above, but if the Rooms is properly humid, dont think it affect the curing process Much. If you want to hang Them longer , raise a Little bit the humidity in the dry room. I like to keep IT around 55%.

Yeah I have a write up for that too.
I hang dry in the basement where the humidity is lower.
I don’t bud wash to clean them. It just makes for a better, more even cure. From what I can tell it seems to increase trics too.

Have you tried super cropping, some high stress training In Late flower? I have read that cannabis makes trichomes in response to stress as a self defense mechanism and imy last plants the branches just sort of super cropped themselves when I was moving them around. Looked terrible thought I had lost some good branches. But they continued to keep on growing. Here’s my half plant, harvested the top half 3 weeks ago.
week 14 flower
In my opinion works pretty well, looks messed up seeing a damaged plant, but they heal and continue to grow, my biggest cola came off a branch that totally fell over in week 7 flower, harvested the top half 10 weeks into flower.
but with my experience with it I’mma continue to super crop my plants now. I am pleased with the end results
But grow lights with uv lighting helps, some colder temperatures also help I’ve read, and some lower rh, but do a lot of reading and try some out I guess. Have a nice day

This plant was super frosty,
After hanging 1 week to dry

Lighting and cold temps...this Alaskan purple is
41 days flowering 12/12 from seed...night temps are between 16c too 18.5c ..day 23.5c.. definitely find the colder temps living in a cold climate most definitely increase the trich production
