Last night i was talking to my buddy about harvesting methods and he mentioned 'two days before you harvest slice up the stalk of the plant like if it was cuttin its wrists and it will increas the potency' has anybody ever heard of this or know if it will be effective?

yeh, people on here gotta remember that a whole bunch of growers arent science graduates. They grow weed through the advice of other people. You may think common sense comes into play, but theres no common sense in growing plants to a inexperienced grower except that they need light, water and fertilisers.

yeah i get it....the idea of stress but why would you wanna stress your plants unless it absolutly has noticable effects, you could be decreasing potency.....

i like to think that if i treat my plants wonderfully they will def. return the favor in the end........not spend all their time fixing the shit you fucked up on them

The reason why i thought it was legit is cause the same person who told me to bend my plant over told me it, and bening my plant was probably the best thing i could do

But WHY would it have any effect? You can't get more canniboids out of the plant by turning it into origami... it just isn't possible. You can't get something from nothing, right? What would you be adding to or changing that would make the bud more potent in such a short time?

I think that you would actually be ripping up the pith and xylem and causing the osmosis process in the plant to stop (because you just killed it if air gets into the pith - same thing that kills clones) - which means even less growth.

Any difference you notice would probably be caused by the fact that if you shred the stem like that you are most certainly killing the plant - which means you are just drying it a little in the dirt first. Perhaps more drying time = nicer smoke, or maybe your friend wasn't drying long enough and killing the plant a few days early helps him out.

the only way i could see it working is if it somehow stressed the plant into releasing more THC to protect itself. Whether it would work, i doubt it.

I'm read that if you give your plants a bit of epson salt at the start of the flowering and stop when its time to flush and using B-1 Thive from start of flowering and used juring watering even when flushing its supose to make it stronger but I dk , gonna do some tests on that

whats a pimkin?
It's short for kin of a pimp. Kin meaning part of a family.

So a pimkin is relative of a pimp. A pimp's cousin therefore is a pimpkin (or pimkin for short).

Not to be confused with pimbro...
