QUESTION...for EXPERTS ONLY please.

[HARDDON]

FOr those that added input I thank you.

And OPIE, wtf?

Do you just run around posting to hear yourself post?

STFU already. Get off my nuts. I don't come around here screwing with your threads.

-----------------------------------------------------
Yes I am wondering about this subject myself.

We know the reason why the plants stretch in flower now right?

While some people used to think, and still do, that the plants, when forced into 12/12 are "REACHING" for the lights, thus extending their reach, some of us know its a genetic effort to send the hair pistles as high into the air as possible to catch male pollen.

So, if the hairs were missing, certainly the plant would would know that. I suspect either the flower will be cut off of nutes from the plant, or, an abundance of new calyxs would develop to replace the missing or damaged ones.

The more calyxs the more goodies????

I suppose the owner of this bud could do a side by side.....But then if it did work, how in the fuck would you do this to a 3 foot tall Kali Mist bud?????

Perhaps I will convince the grower to pic just one bud and follow it thru the remaining 21 - 30 days of life.

If anyone has any further insight, feel free to post it.

Thanks again.

I was always told not to touch the buds because touching them(or pulling them)
would cause that calyx to not fully develope.
It needs the hair to finish maturing,I think.
Otherwise when you pull the hair I think it willl create a bunch of hollow calyx's.
Keep your grubby fingers off your plants people.

I don't think your ever going to get a real answer.
Just try it on one plant.
Or one branch.

[HARDDON]

Oh JDOGG but to squeeze the firm buds and then to wipe the resin under the nostrils is such fun....

Not sure anything is wrong with hollow calyxs...

But will it spur production of more of them.......thats the quesiton.....

BTY, I have fondled and molested many many buds and still enjoyed watching them grow and flourish.

Yes, one bud....500 hairs later......

[Jdog7000]

lol true,
I do the same thing,but with the lower tiny buds.
I don't touch the cola's at all.
The only way to find out if it works is to try it.
Becasue I can garantee it's never been done. lol

[HARDDON]

Then it shall be done.

Where are the fucking tweezers...

Shit this could take a while...but I will have the grower try it.

[smoky mcpot 05]

yes this will be a very time consuming process for sure. and on a length sativa dominant hybrid, I hope you're not busy for the next week! lol. JDog has a great point, all that fondling will seriously diminish quality. You could probably make some good finger hash though when you got through! But honestly you should try to only hold her by the fan leaves or stem while doing this. And yes, squeeze only the lower popcorn buds for smell test, and yes it is much fun!

[chisme]

let us know how it goes man imagine if it like doubled yeild....wow

"the harddon technique"

lol

[BlackBliss]

Noooooooooo.....you will shock your ladies.....seeds is possible aswell as death...you will get nothing else out of this Expt.
Shock = slowed growth which in the end will = a small yield, not to mention them not being able to repair themselves quick enough to your constant plucking/cutting.....so they end up giving up and dying on you.
(Thats the other alternative) both of which you do not want.
Peace,
Bliss.

I would suggest it would cause stress to the plant making any time of benificial "surgery" counter acted.


and about these LEDs is tere a light that will give you both spectrums that you need or woudl you need to get more then one type of light?

[latewood]

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?

What at all, does this have to do with the discussion? Geeez
