Lots of people feel that this increases the resin production, maybe it does. I nurse my plants their entire life I just can't bring myself to stress them on purpose at their end. Just my method, Good Luck on what you decide. If you have two plants of the same strain you might try both.

I would think that covering your outdoor plants with some sort of black plastic or whatever opaque material you intend to use would greatly increase your risk of budrot. The plants transpiration process will probably build up water/dew inside the bag and have no way to evaporate. Indoors you can still run fans and ventillation so it's not a problem, outdoors you would basically be suffocating the plants. I wouldnt risk it for just a little extra resin production, you could end up pullin that bag off and seeing a poop brown fully rotted plant and all your time and efforts will have been wasted.

I would focus on actually getting the plant to mature properly and walking away with a harvest before I would start foolishly experimenting !

good luck though, Peace
