Doing some research on increasing THC and oil production by means of applying foliar's of salicylic acid, GABA and citric acid. Salicylic is especially relevant to THC/Pheno production because of it's benzene ring formation, a key component of them molecules.
I think what's going to be key here, is having the "correct" bands of sunlight/UV light to assist in metabolic processing of these components.
The highest THC content was obtained in1 mM salicylic acid and 0.1 mM GABA treatments, respectively. The results suggested that salicylic acid andGABA can control the signaling cascades of genes in cannabinoid pathway by changing their expression patternsat critical concentration, and these two compounds can be considered as effective elicitors for commercialcannabinoid production. Designing an appropriate standard protocol based on spraying approach on plants toelicit specific metabolites such as THC and CBD which are mainly produced atflowering time and infloweringorgans has many benefits alongside other elicitation approaches.

Salicylic acid (SA) is one of the most readily available plant growth regulating materials, which is also effective in other forms of acetyl SA and methyl salicylate in the plant (Raskin, 1992). SA acts as a stress messenger that induces the hypersensitive response (HR) in the plant, helping the plant to resist invading organisms (Klessig and Malamy, 1994), and interactions between SA and other natural stress management compounds have been reported (Cipollini et al., 2004; Metraux and Durner, 2004; Kachroo and Kachroo, 2007; Zottini et al., 2007; De Torres Zabala et al., 2009). SA could induce the alternative oxidase enzyme activity in mitochondria that are involved in the stress alleviation mechanism (Raskin, 1992; Vanlerberghe and McIntosh, 1997). In lower concentrations (less than 1 mM) it has been reported to be beneficial for plant growth (Rivas-San Vicente and Plasencia, 2011). Enhancement (Kiddle et al., 1994; Kang et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2007) or decline (Prithiviraj et al., 2005; D’Onofrio et al., 2009) in specific secondary metabolites of the plant by SA was also reported. There is a report on increasing the content of essential oils of the sweet basil in response to sprays of SA at 0.1 mM (Gharib, 2006).
