This.....

" Another still-experimental process to increase the resin it to pinch off the leaf tips as soon as they appear from the time the plant is in the seedling stage on through its entire life-span. This produces a distorted, wrecked-looking plant which would be very difficulty to recognize as marijuana. Of course, there is less substance to this plant, but such wrecked creatures have been known to produce so much resin that is crystallizes a strong hash all over the surface of the plant - might be wise to try it on a plant or two and see what happens."

Came from here... www.greenmanspage.com/guides/yield.html

Can you find anything else equally spurious on this weird website? Shouldn't be hard .... post your favorite bad advice links on this thread.
 
Most of the stuff on Greenmanspage was written in the '90's.

That's when he came up with the idea of the seedbankupdate, and started that site.

*sigh*

I actually considered doing this on one of my plants to compare it with the others but, then i couldn't remember where I had heard this and decided I wouldn't do it unless I could track it down and get a feel feel of the source legitimacy.

thanks for finding it for me. haha, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I wouldn't be doing this.
 
I've been told if I give my plants a weird cycle they will grow faster.

Veg would be 18 hours on, 2 hours off, 1 hour on, 3 hours off
 
"The humidity should be kept high (around 90%)" - greenmanspage.com

"I recommend several vertical fluorescent lights suspended around the plants with a pair of Sylvania SL-100 bulbs in the center." - greenmanspage.com

When I google Sylvania SL-100 Bulbs I get images of incandescent bulbs.
 
I found thd site cos another user had asked for help tracking down info on how to use a prescribed drug to enhance your weed to 'super xxx alien mega weed', because of his terminal condition. Basically a technique to cause seeds to grow polyploid plants. Kills most seeds, makes some poly's that are poison. As I recognised the name of the book, I pitched in to help out. I hope he gets something positive out of it... :/

'Decrease your lighting to 14 hours' to increase yield. Errrm? What? Greenman sholud come with a health warning...

everything on that website is spurious


You can stop any watering as the plants begin to make the resin rise to the flowers. This will increase the resin a bit.

You can use a sunlamp on the plants as they begin to develop flower stalks.

You can snip off the flower, right at the spot where it joins the plant, and a new flower will form in a couple of weeks. This can be repeated two or three times to get several times more flowers than usual.

If the plants are sprayed with Ethel early in their growing stage, they will produce almost all female plants. This usually speeds up the flowering also, it may happen in as little as two weeks.

what a bunch of shit
 
Somebody should do a side-by-side using some of the above techniques in nearly lab conditions. Things like that go down a storm here .... ;)
