Translated from a Swedish site on cannabis farming:
Anyone heard of this theory?Quote:
Some advanced farmers in the states pollinate their mature Cannabis flowers 2 - 3 days before harvest.
The plants don't have time to form seeds in such short time.
Instead, the seed capsules swell and fill with resin, which is supposed to create a stronger weed.
.
I cannot find any info to back this up, do you have a link? The moment the females flowers are polinated they stop bud and THC production and start producing seed, i think it is highly unlikely that the seeds fill with resin.
A long tradition among cultivators of cannabis, sinsemilla (literally, "without seeds" in Spanish) is the product of removing male plants from the grow environment before they have a chance to fertilize the females. The resultant cannabis contains more psychoactive compounds known as THC. The amount of THC in sinsemilla is considerably more (14% Compared to 4%) in comparison to cannabis that has been grown in a pollinated environment. The reason for this is that the production of seeds requires an immense amount of energy, and if left unpollenated a female plant will divert all her energy in calyx production in an effort to catch pollen. This is especially desirable, as the calyx is where the highest concentration of trichomes exists, and the more densely packed a plant is with calyces, the greater psychoactive effect that plant will likely have.
Thus, sinsemilla is more expensive to purchase than cannabis with seeds, as the purchaser is actually receiving more psychoactive substance. Potent sinsemilla is especially important to medical users, to minimize the amount of cannabis they must consume in order to be afforded relief. Cannabis with seeds is generally considered to be of inferior quality and/or grown with inferior technique. A common term for seeded, or otherwise low-quality, cannabis is schwag.
Even if it did work the way the quote said, if u tried to sell it no one would believe you, they would think its crappy weed filled with seeds.

They wouldn't think it was full of seeds if it wasn't full of seeds:
I have the link, but its in Swedish, unfortunately.Quote:

Once males release pollen, the degradation process speeds up and flowers fall and the female plant stops producing THC / Resin almost instantly.
This technique cant possably work. If THC/Resin prodiction is stoped, how can seed capsules fill with resin?
who knows ?
time for an experiment perhaps . i've never seen a seed devolop in 3 days myself ? so what's to loose ?
peace
crispi
3 days of THC and bud production, thats what...
hell lol i have done my share of expiriments this week, i might try it in the future on 1 plant
im hopeing to be able to get my 400 watt HPS in the next week
