the plant thinks it is being eaten, so what does it do. Swell up with resin to scare off the bugs

so an idea would be to allow your plant to finish normally, then b4 you give the plant 24-36 hours darkness cut off all the fan leafs.

Thoughts?
I have 2 girls flowering that are quite similar with 4 weeks to go, maybe 5. They're just little popsicle-like plants for a 4/20 session so I'm willing to try that out and see if there's a notable difference to the eye and my microscope. It's not very scientific but it's about the best I can do.

They are clones of the same plant so it should be a pretty fair comparison. Someone remind me to actually do it around the end of this month up to 2nd week of april.

It sounds plausible to me, even if Jorge thinks it's crazy. I don't see how it could hurt much since there's no light for them to take in anyway.
