Maximizing terpenes
ThatsMyPursestarted grow question 5 years ago
How to maximize terpene production? I'm growing a strain that is supposed to be super stinky, and I so desperately want to get the full potential from this Chemdog cross. What does the plant need for producing terpenes and thiols? (My setup requires fully dissolved nutrients.)

-You can use additives like molasses and many others.
-You can play with the spectrum as they are spectrums that helps to have better veg and others to have better flo
-You can apply a dark period at the end of flowering.
-You try to reach the best values possible for your environment parameter.
-You need to have a stable genetic because cross can lean on the mother side or on the father side so if one smell good and the other not then you'll have to make a selection.
-You need to know when to harvest ( my cheese was at a perfect terpenes level when the trichomes were cloudy but an average smell when harvested with amber trichomes) , the harvest widow is important.

As you've already mentioned, removing the larf and lower stems will help increase the quality of your buds. Then some mild stress can help too. Keep the humidity below 50% and even less in the final weeks. Constant wind flow against the buds is said to improve the bud size and trichomes too. 👍🌱

Hi guys.
Considering the several problems of this grow, how I can change my setup for the next grows?
Now I'm using Plagron Alga fertilizers and the Promix substrate (no fertilized). Do you suggest to set the lamp in bloom mode (more reds) also during the veg phase?
Thanks,
M

Switching from seedling to veg feedingWhen should I switch from seedling to early veg feeding schedule. Im using General Hydroponics Flora trio in a DWC setup. I have read that a plant is no longer a Seedling once its new vegetation has the number of blades that the final leaf will have. Is this true?

I'm already seeing yellowing and on the largest plant, #3. Is that due to growth or am I over watering? Approximately 2 gallons in the wick bucket every few days when it starts to feel dry, but I generally spray the top with water on a daily basis, not more than a 1/4 - 1/2 cup.

FloraCoco Grow instead of FloraGro in Hydroponics DWCIs it OK to grow in DWC Hydroponics using FloraCoco Grow (4-0-5 with also 0,8% of Magnesium) as one of the nutrients, combined with FloraBloom and FloraMicro? I'm asking because the store near home had finished FloraGro (3-1-7) and sold me FloraCoco Grow.Feeding. Schedule

Thoughts on providing enough nutrients in the soil for the plant to uptake as needed; rather than feeding while watering? According to Ed Rosenthal if you start with a rich enough medium, you don't have to feed. This is my current method, as I am still a noob. Gracias friends.Week 7
