    Default increase trichomes

    Ive had an idea after reading an article on another site i forget the name sorry

    Read this then ill tell u my idea
    Evolution of Trichomes

    In nature, only the strong survive, and it is hypothesized by biologists that trichomes evolved as a defense mechanism of the cannabis plant against a range of potential enemies (1). Trichomes, from the Greek meaning ‘growth of hair,’ act as an evolutionary shield, protecting the plant and its seeds from the dangers of its environment, allowing it to reproduce. These adhesive sprouts form a protective layer against offensive insects, preventing them from reaching the surface of the plant. The chemicals in the trichomes make cannabis less palatable to hungry animals and can inhibit the growth of some types of fungus. The resin also helps to insulate the plant from high wind and low humidity, and acts as a natural ‘sun-screen’ in protecting against UV-B light rays.


    SO my idea 7 days before harvest apply Uv-B light for 1 hour per day for the last seven days to increase trichomes
    It sounds too easy can someone please tell me am i on to somthing here does anybody already do this or am i just stoned, it is 2 30 am
