Yeah the way I do it, I just use a drill, make one hole straight through the stem about 2 inches up from the dirt, then I turn the drill 90 degrees, go up another inch and drill again. 2 holes total. Every plant I’ve done it to took it like a champ.Curious to hear, I've heard pple putting a nail through it at the end.
Nope, not at all, in my experience, it works great, I’ve gotten some of the most sticky herb every after doing it. You know, impossible to roll a joint sticky. I know, it’s definitely extreme. But from my experience it works. I’m a ways out on doing it this run, but when the time comes I’m going to do a half drilled, half not comparison and try to get a little data on it. I’ll have videos and pics.Are you kidding? I don't like cutting bottom fan leaves a day before harvest......
Didn’t notice any difference at all? Outdoor? Or indoor?Last year I pounded spikes through a couple stalks and screwed a few half inch lag bolts through a couple. Didn’t notice any difference. But I am a big fan of drought stressing the last week or two outdoors.
I’ll definitely check it out! Reason I ask, is I suspect it may be a little harder to gauge the effectiveness of the practice on much larger outdoor specimens. As far as my indoor experience goes, there is a weight difference, and a bit more pungent post cure.Nope. Outdoors. Northern Sacramento Valley. If you want to look into something kind of extreme look into girdling the branches, about 3/4 of the way around towards the end.
Yeah but you’re a really nice guy bro! It’s not for the feint of heart that’s for sure, I literally thought I was losing my mind the first time I did it….I was questioning everything I’ve ever known lol.Are you kidding? I don't like cutting bottom fan leaves a day before harvest......
We'd have to do a controlled comparison, using clones.......I mean, is there any science or at least worthy experiments that say it works? You'd think by now everyone would be bangin' stems...Nope, not at all, in my experience, it works great, I’ve gotten some of the most sticky herb every after doing it.

Well, when I did it, part of it was to introduce airflow through the stem, when I apply it, if the main stalks are small, I split with a box knife and then stab a piece of a zip strip through it to spread the wound. With much larger plants I would use a 1/8inch bit, make the hole, Waller it out a bit, and then repeat an inch above the first hole. Then I’d wash it out with a little distilled water. It looks like that nail made a pretty tight seal. Now I know if you screwed a lag bolt through one, I know damn well air was getting into that one, so shit brother. Thanks for sharing.Couldn’t find any lag bolt pics. doesn’t hurt to try. I didn’t see any improvement.View attachment 1991678
Hey, I'll spank it 3 times snd call it Susan if it'll make things better......Yeah but you’re a really nice guy bro! It’s not for the feint of heart that’s for sure, I literally thought I was losing my mind the first time I did it….I was questioning everything I’ve ever known lol.
This was my thought, anything to squeeze a little more juice from the turnip. Do some reading on it when you have a few minutes. It’s definitely a hot button thing for a lot of growers.Hey, I'll spank it 3 times snd call it Susan if it'll make things better......
