There is no light. I think we all agree that taking off leaves to give light to buds is bogus. The idea is to shock the plant into thinking she's being eaten or something so she tries to defend herself with resin. It very well could be just as crazy as pulling leaves to let light get to buds.

This I agree with. Good point. I'd like to do the test with larger plants with more leaves one day. These 2 I have now are quite small.
