I saw before that someone took a knife the last 1 1/2 weeks or so of flower n shoved the knife through the base of the stalk. Removed the knife and put a Popsicle stick in there. This stress increased resin production.......anyone have any thoughts on this? Too late in flower for seeds to pop from stress and that stress makes the plant I guess go wild lol. Lemme know GC
could still produce nanners.. if you have nothing else goin i suppose it wouldnt be detrimental, but i wouldnt go that route. Plenty of additives and other methods used to "increase resin production." Ice water flush, 48 hour dark period before chop, ect.
I've done 48 hr darkness. It wasn't what it was hyped up to be. Although, it did increase. This knife thing just sounds cool as frick. I do wanna keep it all organic whatever I do.
Heres an all organic booster gear specifically towards marijuana cannabiogen delta 9 flowering and resin booster, anyone using it ? - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
[quote name='"JDKushmann"']That delta 9 looks intriguing.[/quote] It does! I've never even heard of it and I have sandstorm seeds from cannabiogen! Lol wonder if they ship to the US?
Can we not call it a knife thing lol its called "Stem Piercing" and there have been many who have tried this and if you think it will help give it a go but from my experience putting the plant under alot of stress the last 2 flippin days of its life is really not gonna produce much extra thc at all... Advanced Grow Tips 2 : Stem Piercing - YouTube Enjoy experimenting but treat your girls with respect and speak kind words to them instead for better results !
would you mind elaborating on the ice water flush? I've never heard of this but it sparked my interest, thank you..
just as it sound my man! Fill up buckets with water and ice for you last two weeks. Thus "Ice water flush!" lol
Hey lilj, what's the theory on that?. I mean why does it increase resin production? My guess, the plant thinks winter is coming so it tries to go "all out?"
but this mean that is gone put out male flowers to because if is like you say then it bring late self polination one step closer
I've heard that the resin is also a protection from cold for the cannabis plants. So it would make sense that ice Flush will make it think winter is coming so it dedicates their last days for resin.
