Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has ever put wood stakes through the stem of cannabis plant in last week of flowering to increase Trichomes? Is this a myth?

Oh.. Hey I use advanced nutrients I'm starting to wanna change lines. These bastards squeeze every freaking penny from your pockets. Any suggestions?
just something simple.

i use maxsea. a lot of very good growers in california and elsewhere swear by it. it gives me slightly better results than the basic fox farm line (with some supplemental cal mag) for about the same price, maybe a bit less.

most grow stores don't carry maxsea though. any basic line of nutes should do.

don't forget to piss on it , then slap it around and degrade it a little, then lock it in a dark closet for 7 days with its roots submeged in a bucket of ice water, and finally a blood sacrifice of a female virgin and you'll have the dopest dope in the world...:wall:
Yes, yes, yes!
And then hang plant upside down to dry. Not because it's the easiest thing to do, but so that all of the thc that @churchhaze speaks of, flows out of the roots and stems and into the buds. :hump:

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard! Everyone knows you're supposed to jam a nail in the stem, not a piece of wood. Duh! :mrgreen:
Yes THATS right and that nail should preferably be copper!

I give up :wall:

Now if you really want more trichs try adding sum fluorescent UVB ligts to your room during flowering and keeping a very low humidity. This will make her produce more chomes to protect leaves frim damaging light and keeping them moist.
Stressing you'r plants will NOT produce more trichs thats the most rediculous idea i ever heard!

During flower especially late flower your plants will be way stressed out as she is trying to get germinated (that involves making more seed-pods - what makes the bud - AND trichomes to atrackt bugs hopefulle carrying pollen)

Duing flowering she will focus ALL energy on this task. There is not much energy left for her immune defense. So what happens when you hurt her?

First off you are greaty running the risk of infections. Next you are forcing her to focus her attention to repairing wounds and away from making bud and chomes. Furthermore you are greatly running the risk of infections due to the low immune defense of the plant.
Second off the increased stress will greatly increase the chance she will throw a male flower or two in a vain attempt to continue the species.

Now lets say you drive a wood stake through it (perish the though) now she won't even be able to repair the damage. Infection seems inevitable.
Lets say we drive a nail through it - now that idea is even dumber, like i said first off, choose a nail with a copper coating and you will for shure kill her.
Also most nails come with some sort of zink alloy wich could also seriously mess with the uptake of your micro nutrients.

I hope i shed some light on it so noone will ever get dumb ideas like that ever again 8-)

Well I learned my lesson that's for sure. I was on my last week of flowering in hydro with a sweet cheese strain when this fool was like drive a steak through it. There was a big debate on this subject. I like to try new things out. My baby started to droop when I did it. I was calling my self a dumb ass for not doing more research. After I read your post it all made more sense. And after seeing what happened I will never do it again. Much appreciate it. Ill let you know how the cheese Comes out after it cures.

wait a minute, driving a STEAK thru it just might work, that's adding beef to it, now we are doing advanced cultivating.

My boy drives a sharpened popsicle stick through main stalk last week of bloom. It triggers hormonal response and increases resin production. He uses a sharp non seraded blade then pushes a sharpened popsicle stick into the hole, he swears by it, ive never done it but i know of a few old school growers that def use this trick at the end of bloom. Like i tell everyone else try it out on a few and see how it works for you. Theres so many diff ways and tricks to use to get plants to respond. It def works from what i know. BOL
