I’ve seen that before and it does look like it works towards the end of flowerSplitting or drilling the stalk was the move back when. Not sure it's legit. Old head move.

It found that H202 increased leaf area, plant size, and reduced mite populations compared with the control, ostensibly because the application induced genes that provide resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses (including mite attack).Exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induces the plant signals defense in response to biotic (Alvarez et al. 1998) and abiotic stresses (VanCamp et al. 1998). Hydrogen peroxide plays a double role in plants, at low concentration acts as a messenger molecule involved in acclimatory signaling and triggering tolerance against various biotic and abiotic stresses.
I defoliate as you do not knowing if I was on the right track or not. I read here the other day that micro shocking ( plucking here and there ) was worse for the plant than a total defoliation at the appropriate time. ?? I know not one way or the other...I've never done a full defol.Yea, I've been instituting controlled defoliates, whereas, I remove a little here, a little there, picking at it throughout the flowering cycle, especially after weeks 2-4 and onward, depending on all factors. What I'm attempting to do with that is to allow those tops buds to get thick and heavy, then open up the inside, while also keeping pressure on the plant by the constant removal of leaves. The end result appears to be a trans-relocation of some of the plants buds, or increased uniformity.
This is all essentially new techniques I've started in the last few plants, so perfecting it is still a work in progress, but it's got upsides, no doubt. I'm noticing the stuff might not be as thick on the outer parts of the plants, but the insides are getting fuller, and the overall hardness is increased, and earlier... There are simply so many levels IMO of incrementally increasing terps, and oils. Been making good use of UV A+B with the Agromax Pure UV bulbs, the more targeting of specific sugars, and "energy" substances, in addition to utilizing lactobacillus, humics/fluvics and controlling calcium very closely.
Chitosan, harpin, or glutamteWhen I've had mites in the past, I'll have to admit, it was certainly some of the most dank, and special weed I've smoked over the years. Especially when I've had mites, and been able to successfully overcome them, by sheer nutrition, and general health. That said, I'm not eager to return to those days, but it get's me to thinking. What can be done... Obviously, the plants were aware of the onslaught, and were mounting a response. Especially during the flowering intervals.
So, I'm kind of intrigued by signaling hormones, precursors, enzymatic responses and other various means of inducing targeted signals to the plant. Wondering if anyone else out there has used any techniques in the past that are successful.
Please share anything you might have, or even your hypothesis on this subject. Putting some bugs up, since it's a "response" to bug thread...
