Does torturing your plants make them more potent?
Some friends of mine many years ago grew some plants outdoors and when they were mature maybe a month or so before harvest they stripped all the leaves, drove stakes in the stalks of some and tied down the others. They tied them down by tying twine just under the buds and bent the whole plant to the ground. One plant they stripped all the leaves from and clipped the buds leaving the stalk in the ground. Two weeks later they went back it was covered with little snow white buds. The smoke was excellent! Just wasn't much of it!
