At the end of the flowering cycle the pistils are all dried and shriveled anyway. Unless we are trying to make seed, I cant see where the grower would have a big effect in the calyx size or thc production, either good or bad, by cutting/pulling off the new pistils.
If anything, i would think it might create some stress on the plant as some others mentioned, and reduce the yield a bit. Interesting Q tho. Peace

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 Rating: 5
