Some mastodon for a Thursday morning.

I posted this in a different thread yesterday, figured I’d toss it in here. Love the practice. Though I tend to use drills more than box knives. Unless they are clones with smaller main stalks.

I keep forgetting that people in different places, are in different seasons. How very American of me

I like to think of myself as adventurous.... but takin a box cutter to a plant a week before harvest scares me lol.

Maybe when i have a big enough grow room so that a loss of a plant would't destroy my yeild.. lol maybe i'm getting ahead of myself.. i need to figure out my nutes and lights first

I do want to try some super-cropping on this grow though. Going to do a second topping this weekend, going to have a better idea of my canopy layout then.

So when you end up taking a knife or drill to it. I have never had a plant bitch at me for it. I know, sounds crazy, but it’s true. Not one pissy leaf. I’m just tossing it out for brain food. I’d never post something that could ruin someone’s crop potentially. Seems crazy counterintuitive though right?

Space nugs. Absolutely.

So not once the splitting didn't take? That's an interesting thought to think on. I'd try it at some point.

I’ve never had a single issue.

My main way of doing it, I take a 1/8 drill bit, go 2 inches up from the soil. Drill through. Turn the drill 90 degrees and go up an inch and drill again. It’s pretty cool, turns the stink on to overdrive the last week. I love it.

Sounds like something for me to try in the future for sure

In all honesty the only thing a plant is doing at that time is maturing trichomes. Fuck it, why not?

Especially for you, a natural way to boost trichs on a water only diet!

Exactly. You’d think the world would end, when I first did it ten years ago, I thought I was losing my mind. But nope. It works. Much easier to see the overall benefits in indoor grows, outdoor, the plants are already so large it’s tough to tell. But I have noticed a solid 10-20% increase over plants I left alone to see.

Lol yeah i get that.. im convinced.. might try it on one this time around

Lol i dont doubt it works. Just doubting my skills. I'm genuinely interested though. Might do it to one and compare in the name of science!

Oh bro, gotta give yourself a little more credit. Your already in the top 60%. You didn’t kill seedlings, you have been proactive in mitigating issues. I’ll make a video next time I do it, stoner proof it for you.
