What To Use To Get "frosted" Buds?

[xavier7995]

I do concur, weed grown well is more important than the genetics used, within reason.

AZOMITE works pretty good, I usually get the shinny trichs that sparkle...

What style you grow in?

its the lab verified reason for most frost I've picked up at dispos. Its just sugars displaced in the bud.

All those white buds should be transparent on the surface, and sparkly looking, not dull white. The only legitimate way I know to take the transparency and sheen off your trichs and replace with a white crust is tobuild up a thick wax layer, and nuke it with UV. So you won't see this indoors unlessyou expose you'd buds to sun and wind.

Ok so let me get this straight.

Are you implying that sugar added to the soil gets transported directly to the trichomes, and that it changes the trichome's appearance to a 'frostier' look..... and that this was analytically-verified in a lab?

I swear man people jus say any old thing. And gokd genetics can make a rookie grower look like a pro and bad genetucs can only be so gkkd no matter who grows em. Give jungkeboys a arjan haze from greenhouse seeds and the weed will be shit. Give a mean cookie clone to somebody that dkesnt know much just water slight feed and lil light and that will comw out better then the arjan grown by jungkeboys

Love it!
The shit you hear... another dude said stems are hollow so they can drink up the nutes and water!?
Although I explained what's really going on, part of me just wanted to say of course bro where do you think the concept of straws came from!?

In no way am I bashing on new growers, I mean shit we all were at one time....
I'd just prefer they ask that in a question form rather then stating it. Like are plants stems hollow cause they suck up water?

Ya dig

Anyone who is growing CBD-strains, needs to make sure they avoid using supplemental UV in their grows. An increase in THC levels from UV comes at the expense of reduced CBD.

But de-gen of trichs enhances cbd, no? UV enhances any grow. 285 uva makes tc's. the plant is protecting itself from mr sun. I run 2 40w uva tubes in every grow. Makes pretty buds. small grows for me. but I grow for me. I cut young to get the cloudy no amber trichs. But i'm not making medicine. I use 2 40w uva cfl bulbs in my grows. Makes trichomes.

No.

CBD is contained within the trichomes --> trichome-degradation = CBD-depletion

285 uva makes tc's.

280-315 nm increases trichome-density/THC-content. Never seen any data suggesting UVA does.

Makes pretty buds.

I run UVB with every grow.

Makes dank buds. ; )

Nice, did you feed table sugar or a different kind of sugar to get that frost?

UVA does not come in 285 wavelength

Having had several instances of welder flash when I used Philips' first 250w and 400w CMH, I will pass on the ultraviolet and feel safer. I have learned over time 5hat operator error accounts for a lot of mishaps, especially stoner operator error!
