Intentional Plant Stress

Has anyone ever heard of how some orchard crop growers will wack their trees with chains? This supposedly makes the plant think that things are dodgy and they interpret this as stress causing the plants to drive all their energy into producing higher quality and number of fruits. Anyone ever try this? How would you do it and at what stage of growth?

I've thought of letting a cat munch on the leaves a week before or after 12/12...lol, i might try this.

heh, like: "I give you a home!? Nutrients!? Water!? I bought a PH pen, 400HPS, HYDROPONIC nutrients and....and THIS is how you repay me?! With these...these......yellowing leaves?! Slow growth?! Spindly branches?!"; meanwhile slapping the pots.

oh yeah, i can't find an article yet but i've watched shows where plants respond to predators by producing more poisons. I've also read that Resin is a guard against insects in the wild (Is this right?)? I don't know, this could be interesting for more experienced growers to give a try.
