Hello GC, I'm a logical thinker at most, and i spend my time researching and chatting with friends whilst looking over my lovely ladies (2 1/2 months in) first time grower.) My friend came over an interesting topic with me the other day about something he did in his Biology Class. They extracted DNA from The Biggest, and sweetest Strawberrys on their classroom grown plant, turned it into a film, and made a cut into the strawberry plant like a paperclip almost, and made the film stick into the plant rather. This made the stronger DNA stand out in the plant, and made it grow more vigorously. Now, I'm thinking that you can make this sort of Film with Fresh bud that still has all the liquid in it before curing. Wouldn't this be possible? i'm thinking so. What're your thoughts, Also here's a guide on how to do that extraction http://www.genome.gov/pages/education/modules/strawberryextractioninstructions.pdf
