QUESTION...for EXPERTS ONLY please.

[HARDDON]

Since there is little THC in the actual hairs of the flowers, what would happen if someone were to say, CUT just the female hairs from the flower pods, or pluck them?

Would the flower itself die?

Would, in an attempt to be seeded, the flower produce MORE flower pods to shoot hairs from?

If the latter would happen, do you not think then that you could force larger buds by stimulating flower pod production?

Since most of the THC is on the flower pods, this would seem like a desired result.

Has anyone got any insight into this surgical, time consuming process?

Thanks in advance.

it would in all probability stress the female into producing male sexual organs. Thus all your effort would have been in vain. Or it would cause a mutantion in the plant. And not to mention you'd have a hard time selling bud that had no pistils on it. Good question though, I've never encountered one like it before.

that's a first-time question for me, too ... I don't think it necessarily would stress (but, it could) , I think it would be too minor of a cutting to shock the plant ... but, I have doubts the plant would have the instinct to replace them, ... only one way to find out, maybe you'll stumble upon a new trick ... :smokin:

I have some thoughts on this that might actually make sense.

Too bad I'm not an expert, so I guess you're not interested. Not that you would take anything I have to say seriosly, even after I was proved right about that thing you were so sure I was an "f-ing idot" about.

At least we know who two experts are for sure, unless they were just ignoring your wishes.

True, but that's not really a concern since of course none of us are selling it. I'm sure we are not even giving it away, and all our set ups are 100% legal and for medicinal purposes only. Furthermore, there are no minors viewing this site, and I am not buzzed.

OK, I'll change my mood now to something other than bitchy.

Hey HARDON,

I would bet that it would not effect the particular calyx that you pull the hair from.

Now if I uderstand correctly, you are suggesting that the plant will , "notice" the missing hair and thus produce more calyx to produce more hairs, which will in turn produce bigger buds.. correct?

possible,

and a great theory, you could probably do a PHD thesis on this one.. but my hypothosis is that it does not effect growth..

NOW... the real future of growth is in LEDs... less electricity with precise spectrum capabilities..

[chisme]

is the future really gonna go onto LED's? i know theyre are kinda bright and with spectrum distribution vie certain vrystals held in front of the source can produce directed concentrated area's of specific colour e,g blue spectrum, red spectrum.......but i allways find with any LED the light itself never affects much over a large distance...so wouldnt that produce problems for a big timer? i mean..youde need EXCESSIVE amounts of source right?

[slowthestone]

Hardon...I like the theory....can you side by side?

Isolate a branch....pull the pistils from the upper-most bud sites....and then again further down the branch...leaving an untouched bunch of flowers in between the two sites you trim. And then maybe utilize that whiskey and molases concoction of your's and see if that surge of growth you attribute to your home brewed additive kicks in to help the process.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who buys mj on the amount of 'hairs' they see? Unless a person knows what strains have anything other than the typical brownish/orangish hairs...as well as the grower may have made a heap-o-hash for themself...the presence of hairs is fairly well just an indicator that the grower took care with the grow.

The rules of thumb are....observe the bouquet...and then look for the white, fuzzy indicators that indicate the presence of dried trichomes.

[smoky mcpot 05]

yea I agree with slowthestone, let us know what would really happen. Of course all this is just speculation. But you could have discovered the last thing.
and as for opie yutts, quit being such a little bitch and post something relavent to the topic. Chill the hell out and smoke a joint. I don't know what the hell your talking about selling for, have you looked at your signature lately?
