Hey guys! I'm a little new to this, gotta question for everyone. I have heard elsewhere that completely depriving plants of water for 5-7 days before harvest makes the plant supercharge resin production to add moisture. Is this at all true?

btw great forum, everyone is very nice and helpful ^^ bongsmilie

If you deprive the plants of water, how are they going to add moisture? It does not make sense to me...

i wasn't saying it adds moisture, i was saying that i heard that water deprivation made the plants produce more resin to make up for lack of moisture

i'm not sure about the uv thing, i'll look it up though ty:mrgreen:

Nope, that's not true, it just deprives the plant of water. In some hydro systems, that can be fatal in a week. You are probably thinking about soil growing, where you don't water for the last week.

It seems like this topic is almost completely full of old wives tales!! anyway I head that keeping the humidity low will also stress the plant into producing more resin. just wanted to add to the list!
