Stoner Thought

Now that I am three grows deep (step back all you expert weed growers) I have learned alot about the plant and even my body in general.

Humans that tend to live on low calorie diets live longer that those that do not. We also know our plants do better with just a little stress not to much just a little. Such as..we wait til the dirt drys out and do not fert until the plant needs it otherwise a burn will occure.

Stress on the plants in, my opinion, is like exercise for the cardio system. You want more blood pumping to oxygenate your cells and pass nutrient. The plants are doing the same. The more they want nutrients or water the more roots they put out. The more they branch out with foliage it allows transperation of mobile nutrients.

Yo fuck arjan, and his thoughts.

Dang got some resentment there huh!?! They were my thoughts because of the weed!

Good observation. I like the human-plant analogy.

Love it... Low humidity is a form of mild stress and from what I have seen the plants get more frosted when flowered at 40% humidity rather than at 65-70% rh..

Stabbing a knife through the stem I have seen some people do,not me though, and I cannot deny that it worked, idk if the extra veg time recovering had anything to do with it though.

I have seen videos on splitting the stem as well in the last days. I wonder if the increase in thc is noticable.

would be interested in hearing from someone thats tried it.
good analogy btw

I wouldn't say that there was an increase in thc, moreso in yield. But there could have been, again it was not my plant, I'd be too scared to do it.

I have accidentally split stems, never noticed there to be an increase...then again, never not split at least one large branch, or the main stem...lol. Instead of LST I just keep bending branches into the shape I want manually a few times a day for the first few weeks...I like doing it...sometimes I end up with clones, or big nodules where the stem has had to repair itself...but it always does, and the plants are fine...I know the stems get thicker each time I mutilate them...
