Aye, I do it as well m8. Say I was doing an indoor grow & the strain took 6 weeks to finish....power feed them for 4 weeks [ up to 1650 -1800 ppm.] then start flushing coz they don't need any more....1st week of flushing...normal watering times with NO overnight drinks & 2kg's of raw sugar [dissolved with warm water] in the system, no need to adjust PH for flushing, just straight water[with the sugar]....just watch those buds stack on the weight with the sugar fix :thumbsup:this also makes it much nicer to smoke :thumbsup: ...last week....straight water once every 2 days for 4 days then nothing for the last 3 days or whenever you think they are ripe. You could also leave them in the dark for the last 3 days as well, this also increases resin production. :greenthumb: another trick I use is stem piercing.... :thumbsup: what you do is stab the stem just above the level of the medium, split it all the way thru the bottom of the stem,[with a pocket knife or whatever] & force a wedge of some sort in there....I use a sharpened stick, like a small spear... don't worry, you won't kill it even tho it looks fatal....normally I do this when there is 2-3 weeks of flowering left.....if you wanted to experiment with this technique, you could try it on a smaller branch 1st. if you feel uncomfortable about stabbin' yer ladies.... but all I can say is that it increases the stress on the plant, therefore increasing trichome production. I've been doing it 4 years now on indoors & outdoor plants & I haven't killed 1 yet....You just have to see it to believe it m8, they literally start gushing resin crystals...:thumbsup:
more crystals = more stoned :stoned:
Slayer :hippy:
