resin production?

ben350n · Oct 7, 2008

Hey guys! I'm a little new to this, gotta question for everyone. I have heard elsewhere that completely depriving plants of water for 5-7 days before harvest makes the plant supercharge resin production to add moisture. Is this at all true?

btw great forum, everyone is very nice and helpful ^^ bongsmilie

If you deprive the plants of water, how are they going to add moisture? It does not make sense to me...

oesnt uv light 30 mins a day do that too?

ben350n · Oct 8, 2008

i wasn't saying it adds moisture, i was saying that i heard that water deprivation made the plants produce more resin to make up for lack of moisture

i'm not sure about the uv thing, i'll look it up though ty :mrgreen:

Nope, that's not true, it just deprives the plant of water. In some hydro systems, that can be fatal in a week. You are probably thinking about soil growing, where you don't water for the last week.

I've not long found out about it myself but check this thread for links with more info: https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/117640-new-natural-pest-control.html

It's not 100% that it would even work for Cannabis but I believe it would, at $14-20 U.S per mg it's too pricey for me at the moment. :-(

It seems like this topic is almost completely full of old wives tales!! anyway I head that keeping the humidity low will also stress the plant into producing more resin. just wanted to add to the list!
