is it possible to increase the potency of your growing buds? i've been feeding my ladies regularly and i know nutes help it to grow, but is there anything that they can be given to make it stonier? i plan on getting a uvb light as mentioned in another thread.

using a metal halide bulb for the last few weeks of 12/12. I can only say yield is affected in my case, but if you aren't a big smoker anyhow, the extra potency might put you on your arse sooner.

Any particular strain is limited to genetics in the end. If you get all other things right, environmentally speaking, any particular strain will only get you as high as the total potential THC content will allow. There are so many different techniques for producing more THC but in the end genetics is the main factor. Start with good genetics and the THC will come.

exactly what Smknvtec said, but for now make sure ur using your lights to the fullest with mylar, using Lst, and good air flow.

You can't increase potency. Potency is gentically pre-determined.

What you can do, is grow your plant to it's full potential, to it's full potency. That is done by a mutitude of things. Grow conditions, lighting, temperatures, fertz , and harvest time all affect this
