Picking Swollen Individual Calyx

**loophole68** · 02-12-2012, 03:53 AM

Picked some of the early calyxes that showed up during preflower stages as a tester since they are individual on the stems and not in nugget form, also used as a mild stress inducer to the plant to increase final trich production since only around a week left and is also in late flowering stage. Very sticky and very potent from the quick dry.

Anyone else pick the swollen calyxes on stem for testing or inducing stress or even any other reasons??
Not much info on this, or is because no one does thinking it may hurt the plant??
Annoy them a bit in late flowering but dont hurt them, thats what I have read.
Pictured below is one of those individual calyxes from another site.
Feedbacks and comments appreciated

I doubt the plant cares much that you pick 'em.

But I don't pull anything early because it never smokes like the final product, might as well be a different plant altogether. It's not a test I find to be useful.

I don't allow myself to get that desperate.

Also, pre-harvest stress to increase trich production? Stop spreading bullshit as if its fact. Do you think kicking the shit out of an Apple tree makes better apples? Or maybe beating up a pregnant woman to avoid labour complications

I have heard that beating up a pregnant woman's pussy helps with child birth.

Firstly, no one spreaded bull shit neither did I recommend doing it so stop accusing.
Secondly, Is Cannabis a tree, no.For instance,Like you compared the situation, You can bend and break a cannabis main stem, but can you break a trunk of an apple tree?
Thirdly, I have read many comments on how darkness have something to do with trich production/ Thc according to certain dutch growers, I'll still be glad to read the source and it is a also stressing the plant as plants are not gonna get like 48-72 darkness in its natural habitat. That also includes ice flushing and cold temperatures before harvest.
Lastly, If not for R&D you would still be smoking the oldest landrace strains with very low cannabinoid levels compared to todays strains.
Its proven topping and pruning works, how?
Did the plant cut its own head off?? No its manually done...

No one actually is perfect knowing everyting... Sadly I had to tell this to you because you sound like one...

Theres a lot to be known yet and you got loads of reading to do.

A kind word of advise.

Dont jump into threads shouting your mouth off. First of all be polite and base you comments on fact not what you "think" is correct.

Ok, now we should all know resin increases when stress increases. Not humans or apple trees lmao, but marijuana. The marijuana plant is different than most plants. I dont see male trees and female trees. So quit being a dick and give the guy a break. He's right, with out people trying different thing we would not have as good smokable bud. now I drop the temps the last week and keep the humidity very low, enough to stress the plant into winter is coming and make a great finish medicine. this is marijuana so relax and take a bong hit and start brain storming.
