Only in the case that there are no males to pollinate, it overcompensates by making more resin.

you are correct sir that's why sensimilla is so sticky to begin with, it's trying to get knocked up really bad.

A better way to stress your plants would be to add salicylic acid, It is the trigger chemical that tells the plant that it is being attacked, and puts the plant in to stress with no damage at all.

or, you could just grow naturally, and avoid stressing the plant ... there is a LONG list of 'tricks' to supposedly trigger more resin response ... I have seen several experiments, and never witnessed ANY improvement, but I have seen it do damage ... it's your plant, have fun with it :smokin:
