This isn't known by very my growers because there is no practical use for practicing this kind of growing. In 1976 my brother was growing 18 plants in the middle of his garden. Unfortunatly he lived in a trailer court with teen age kids... Sure enoungh at about 4 1/2 months one plant disappeared each night. When it came to the last plant he decided he would take it for the leaves. Instead of cutting it down he took ALL the leaves off of it and quickly smoked up the Mexican Red Hair leaves which did give him a small buzz.

Two or three days later the plant began growing about thirty foxtail looking buds that hung straight down. I remember it was around Halloween because he brought some of it over - It was basicly good sinsemilla.

What I want to understand is this: Where did the THC come from? The plant had NO leaves...

At this time I'm ready to harvest - In the next grow there will be one small plant that I will take all the leaves off and provide photos.

Thank you - That's all I could think of. Like from the cellular structure in the stems? I tried to talk my brother into cutting the foxtails in half so they would keep growing. He took them all in one gathering... Now I'm wondering how long would those foxtails have grown? He cut them when they got about three inches long? Should be interesting to find out in next grow.

I had a crab apple that had a branch attacked by tent worms and suffered stress all year. They ended up blossoming flowers in Dec during a snow storm. Genetic survival can make plants push hard as a last ditch when they know their time is up.

The real riddle is why did your brother allow one plant to disappear every night for 16 nights? I can see one or two...and then your average grower gets a clue and lays in wait for them.
My brother bless his soul passed at 37. He was one of those dudes you don't ever fuck with. When he went mental on someone it took people to stop him from killing them. Yeah, he was seeing red for sure. Hell of a guy who needed his med and a LOT of cannabis. I tried to out smoke him one night. We started with an oz of Mexican at 11p.m. Rules = Gotta smoke when the other one rolls another one. At 7 am next morning I rolled over on the floor after seeing we had about 4 joints of weed left. I looked up and him and he smiled and said, "Let's smoke another joint man!" I rolled over and said fuck it... Sure did love him...
