I've read of a grow where a guy was battling some kind of root pest and noticed his best harvest came from him keeping the population down and once he got rid of them completely harvest weren't as good ?
Maybe because the plant realizes it's competing with other hosts it works harder 'just in case' tehy get the upper hand. It may even grow bigger buds thinking 'gotta gives this my all, no letting down.'
thought you might find this an interesting read it's exactly what you were talking about.. how plants communicate throughout mycorrhizal nets
from the article i linked^^ "In this case, the alerted bean plants deployed aphid-repelling chemicals and other chemicals that attract wasps, which are aphids’ natural predators. The bean plants that were not connected received no such warning and became easy prey for the pesky insects."
