The Potency Playbook (The “How-To”)
Expert Tip: How to Actually Hit 35% THC
Buying a 35% THC seed like Gush Mints is only the blueprint. To reach the “Top Floor,” you need these three professional levers:
The UV-B Strategy: Supplement with UVB lighting (280–315nm) for 2 hours daily during the final 3 weeks. THC acts as the plant’s natural sunblock; more UV equals more resin.
The “Cold Finish”: Drop night temps to 60°F (15°C) in the final 10 days. This mimics fall, forcing the plant to dump its remaining energy into trichome production.
The 80/20 Harvest Rule: For peak potency, harvest when 80% of trichomes are milky/cloudy. If they all turn amber, your THC is degrading into CBN (the “sleepy” cannabinoid).
Choosing Your Format
1. High THC Autoflower Seeds
The “Speed-Run” Version of Potency.
Best For: Beginners, stealth setups, or those wanting to harvest 4 times a year.
The Vibe: These have a “biological clock.” They flower automatically after 3 weeks regardless of light cycles.
Top Pick: Papaya Auto (25% THC).
2. High THC Feminized Seeds
The “Trophy Room” Professional Standard.
Best For: Maximum yield, “Scrog/Topping” training, and hitting the 35% club.
The Vibe: You are the boss. You decide when they flower by switching your lights to 12/12.
Top Pick: Glitter Bomb (35% THC).

High THC Seeds: Expert FAQ
Q: Are these high THC seeds legal to ship to my state?
A: Yes. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, cannabis seeds contain less than 0.3% THC in their dormant state and are classified as hemp. We ship our high-potency genetics as collectible souvenirs to all 50 states via our Nevada hub.
Q: Why is Cap Junky so much more potent than older strains?
A: It’s a matter of modern stabilization. By crossing elite clones like Alien Cookies and Kush Mints #11, breeders have increased the number of trichome heads per square millimeter. The “ceiling” for potency has shifted from 20% in the 1990s to 35%+ today.
Q: Which high THC strain is best for beginners?
A: If you want 30% THC without the “expert” headache, we recommend Apple Fritter. It is a robust hybrid that resists common pests and molds while still delivering top-shelf potency.
