I thought of a way to explain a "stress grow" in a way ya'll can all understand. Stressing your plants is how to tell them that you want them to grow good weed. When your plants flowers (the ovaries) are deprived of pollen (sperm), they bud out bigger and tastier, trying to get pollinated because they think they are going to die (via 12-12, which represents the solstice and the coming of winter, which stresses your plants out and makes them flower in the first place). The more the plant THINKS it is going to die, the danker it will be, as long as it still has the means to be dank (enough water, proper light & nutrients). But if you stress the plant too hard and mess up to the point of no return (mess up light, watering etc) it will hermie, or die.
Finshaggy, It sounds like you're trying to make them grow balls. I'm pretty sure you will accomplish that goal en masse with this grow.

I have a Mandarin tree that I abused last year. Lack of water, no fertilizer, didn't cover it during a few frosts. Anyway, it was pretty stressed the fuck out throughout the year. It produced one shitty Mandarin orange last year. If it had lived in a non-stressed, well cared for environment, it would have produced a bunch of Mandarins like the year before.

Everyone understands what you're trying to do. But because you couldn't be bothered to have a control, any conclusions you draw will be invalid.

You mean I shouldn't be stressing the fuck out of my plants in attempts to get a bigger/better yield? Well, guess it is back to the drawing board LOL.
Look up "Super Cropping", that is stress to increase yield (and quality). And climate stress (via heat or dry air) will cause higher trich production. You guys are being stupid by brushing this shit off. That is just TWO things that you guys are making sure this noob will never know :lol: It's like you guys are trolling because you're afraid people might actually see this shit and figure it out for themselves too. :lol:

How hilarious would it be if all the plants ended up male...

not likely but man would it be funny.
I've never even seen a male, so I doubt it. I think Shiva understands what I am doing, since the stress is not something it has to feel like it will actually die from. If anything these plants will understand what I am telling them and all be female. But I kinda in the back of my mind want some males or a few hermies, I like growing from seed, but I don't want to buy seeds yet.

I have never seen a male either now that I think about it. My first time growing (5 years ago) I planted 10 regular Nirvana big bud seeds and they all ended up female.

I use to do the banana religion, Put ripening bananas in with your seedlings for the first few weeks of life and the bananas releas[FONT=Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]e Ethylene gasses which have been shown to encourage plants to grow female.

I have no idea if this is true or not, It could have just been luck that I ended up with all females. But 10 out of 10 made me have some faith in it.

I was just reading something about the banana peels along with no stress the 3rd and 4th week of veg for a higher female to male ratio.

No, but it would be considered a cellular brain, which is what you were saying was "possible" and I am proving is "fact".
Actually it is an analogy not a fact. The nuclei contains the genetic code information such as RNA, it does not cognitively carry out functions such as a brain in the understanding of what makes a mind, rather the nuclei serves as a repository for genetic information needed for reproductive purposes.

You can't really prove or disprove if it does it cognitively, but it does tell the other parts of the cell what to do, via the DNA code and the fact that the cell has to do things for survival of itself. So it is the thing that would "know how" to respond to something like pain.

I'll try that in the next grow.

And it's not that I "couldn't be bothered to have a control" but I do see that you "couldn't be bothered to read" when I told you this shit before. First off, in Pueblo you have to sign over your plant count to a dispensary to buy clones, if I sign over my plant count, I can't grow. :dunce: So the only way I can get clones is if I can get them from another grower and I don't know anyone with extra clones. 2nd clones are $20 ea at dispensaries, so if you want to send me 120$ I might "be bothered" to have a control, but other than that, it's not happening this time, sorry. :dunce:

Fin your missing the point of a control lol.. A control would be to grow a mother and pick clones from her. Half you would fuck up like you are and half you would try to grow in optimal conditions. The point would be to grow two identical plants differently. Buying clones wouldnt have meant anything.

I bet it was the dankest Mandarin you've ever eaten though.
