ok so there are several facts here that back up unlucky, so the fact is that if you stress your plant the last week or two that it will increase trich and thc output. any time you do anything other then feed and care for them is un-natural so what ever you do is an experiment. we can only learn by mistakes so if you dont make any your not learning, by all means if you want to stab your girls go for it. i stress mine by doing a black out for the last 4-5 days of my girls..seems to increase trich's and its MY OWN WAY of growing. as everyone has there way.. so all we as a forum can do is either help or intake info and return info, BE COOL PEOPLE ITS ALL ABOUT WEED... KEEP ON GROWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

well heres how i understand it. no matter what you do to a plant it wont produce more THC than its genetics are coded for. as long as its grown right it will produce the max amount of THC available. therefor if you grow it correctly and pierce your plants stem it WILL NOT produce any more THC and would just increase your chances of a hermi with the extra stress.

lol well despite the hermi part if your growing it right it wont produce any more THC by doing so. another trick i learned with white widow is turn the lights down to 6 hours in the last couple weeks and it will produce more THC on the leafs. really frosts them up. and why in the world would you want hermis? your moving backwards here unlucky...

ive read the same thing and also made a thread about it. its somewhat false info....a plant wont live for 2 weeks with no light at all. it says TRY TO KEEP THE LIGHTS OFF for that long. it says reduce the lights down to at least 6 hours or try to keep them off altogether for the last 2 weeks.

PS:WW is what im smoking on as we speak ;)

updated my post with the link to the abs. acid study (back on page 43 of this thread) I have the full version in my archive if you have any questions about it let me know as most will only be able to see the abstract.
Have a nice day

i read about 10 pages and no one made the abscisic acid link in that span, if it didn't happen in the pages I skipped over consider this it. Abscisic acid application has been positively linked with THC% increases at harvest. Stress regimens (piercing, pinching, water stress both overwatering--"flushing" and under watering, decreasing light periods, pruning, light spectrum changes, UV(c/b) dosage increases, and so on and so forth use your imagination) are going to increase abscisic acid release by the plant, theoretically increasing potential THC% etc. So what really matters is when you do this, to what extent you stress the plant, and what genetic stress response the cultivar you are working with will manifest. Also, the end effect of the product has a lot more to do with curing method, as some of the really valuable terpenoids are lost with improper cures. So in defense of unlucky, this should work.
Happy to discuss with anyone genuinely curious about the studies I've poured over, I may come back and edit this post with links if enough people ask respectfully. Troll away, I will ignore the BS posts gladly, no offense intended I was a teen once too just got no time for it now.
Peace,

edit/p.s.
May I recommend sterile method since you are performing an invasive procedure? Surely you thought of it but even a flame or wipe between piercings on the same plant because of microbes sitting on the plant exterior
