Cold Water or Ice Treatment
This method refers to chilling the grow medium of the plants by either chilling the water of the recirculating hydroponics system , or the feed water to your plants in soil , coconut husk , or stonewool . You can do this by purchasing the large blocks of ice from gas stations generally used for fishing and placing them in your reservoir tank , while setting your water chillers to the lowest setting or adding ice above the plants . Using this method ( along with cooling the room ) will bring out lots of colors in the cannabis , as well as THC . THC and other cannabinoids are a defence mechanism for the plant to protect itself from pests ( they stick to it ). We like it for other reasons , though ! Adding more stress like this towards the end of the plants ’ life will naturally bring out more of what we love .
Takeaways :
• Cool the water of your feed tanks to as cool as possible to bring out colors in the cannabis ( anthocyanins ).
• Use large blocks of ice and water chillers to prolong their cooling period .
Armageddon
During the final 48 hours of the plant ’ s life , you can implement what we call “ Armageddon ” to induce a massive final push of cannabinoids and colors to the plant via light and temperature stress . During this last 48 hours , you will want to keep the rooms completely dark and as cold as possible . This should only be done for 48 hours as more time can cause seeds to begin developing . We have tested this 48-hour method on countless strains and can assure your plants will be just fine . This technique can be great for sugaring up the inside of a canopy by harvesting all the top flowers , then leaving the inside canopy for two days before you chop it .
Takeaways :
• Only implement “ Armageddon ” for the last 48 hours before harvesting .
• Make rooms as dark and cold as possible .
• Be gentle when harvesting cold cannabis as the trichomes are more brittle at this stage .
These ripening techniques and all the methods offered here are the results of more than 23 years in the field . Follow these methods to grow the best-quality craft cannabis possible .
