ok so i was talking to a buddy about growing and he told me that if you take a mother plant thats about 2-3 weeks into flower and split the stem with a butter knife and stick a tooth pick all the way thru it boost crystal production. idk if hes tellin straight shit but idk ill try it on one of my many clones. who knos. any of u have any input?

I'd ask him to explain to you very thoroughly exactly why doing that would "boost crystal production." I'd love to hear it.

Nintey-three percent of what I say is brilliant, factual information and seven percent is complete bullshit. Have fun deciding which is which.

this guy also said that outdoor theres plants that can produce 7 pounds. caus something about how the bud grow from under a canopy of other branches and the light hits it oh so well. dont really believe it but whats the highest yield you can achieve indoor or out. which will produce more?!!?

I'd just hit him a few times next time he says something like that.

i would only believe he could produce 7lbs if his name was Tom Hill.......hes an extraordinary grower

ive seen marijuana trees dude, big bushy trees, that only produced a pound. 7 pounds sounds like some bs, but maybe if the plant was like 15 ft or taller or something

Mother plants are usually kept in veg indefinitely to cut clones from...?

Why a butter knife? Why not something sharp so as not to mangle the plant?

Does this REALLY sound like it makes ANY sense?

I think this guy is feeding you full of shit. Does he grow and use this technique himself?

If I were to grow cannabis, I would only do so to supply myself and my close friends. Doing this would take myself and my friends out of harms way by knowing the source of our cannabis, as well as take hundreds of thousands of dollars off the black market annually. It would also lower the demand of black market cannabis, and would ultimately help keep cannabis out of the hands of minors.

i has no idea about that, all i know is about pinching and bending the stems to make it more sturdy and it puts stress on the plants which i think will make more potent :s

i smoke my roach before i smoke my roach... then i smoke my joint !


WARNING !! i suck at speling !! WARNING

aight an exacto or some shit ok. and i didnt mean a mother plant i ment a mother of a plant! idk he said it was some old hippie secret that fucked with the plants head. idk ill try it with one of my clones. might as well!

There was some other thread on here before that mentioned techniques to get the plant to produce more resin...

One of them mentioned slicing into some part of the plant, causing minor stress and somehow that is supposed to equal more resin.

I would be a bit worried about getting a hermie, honestly.. so this is not for me.

But maybe look up that thread I guess.

I tend to agree.

Even were this technique to work, there are MUCH better ways to improve plant health, and by extension, yield, that do not involve stressing the plant to the point of hermaphrotidism or injury which can allow disease to take hold.

Just concentrate on plant health. You will grow more than enough for yourself and your close friends if you just follow normal grow procedures.
