Using ice to increase trichomes

[Red Eye Hero]

Hey does anyone on here do this I just found it today and seemed quite interesting I don’t know how it would work in a hydroponic set up though or if it even works thought people

 

[HGO]

Fuck knows mate , Only way to tell one way or the other is to grow the same plants exactly under same conditions as each other and do that shit to one and not the other then compare any differences I suppose

 

[Porky]

When the root systems become to cold in soil the plants basically stop growing cant speak for other mediums as ive never used em but i would imagine if ya let ya temps in ya rdwc system get to nearly 0c they would just shut down and die. Personally this just looks like another stupid American fad.

 

[Red Eye Hero]

Wasn’t going to do it just sounds interesting

Gone to the other side of the spectrum it seems. Back in the 70's-80's there was a theory doing the rounds that once you ripped your plants, you'd dip the roots into boiling water to push out any remaining oil out of the "oil pot" that was apparently located central to the root system. with the theory that the shock of the hot water would push any remaining oil to the buds.

Truth to the matter though, oz. There's no substitute for good genectics.

Hahaha mate i was guna mention that. When i started growing 22 years ago me mums boyfriend who got me started used to sware by pulling em and putting the roots in boiling water sometimes with some sugar added sometimes not. Me mates older brother still does it today. Old habits die hard.

I agree wholeheartedly with ya indy. No substitute for good genetics.

Perfect procedure if you want a Soma Seeds style Banana fest

 

[JHerer]

Nope - its just bro-science, and doesn't do shit. You want more trichs, use UVB supplementation.

I doubt it would live long enough to hermie
2 the theory is reasonable, we shock ours plants to varying degrees
Can be similar to attacks by pests when the plant will produce more resin for self preservation
But I think the plant won't really have time to produce more resin because it will shut down due to root temperature and start to die very quickly
IMO

I scene nails tapped into the stem last 5 days to a week, to create that simialier stress theory.. then I thought, fuck that , just start with fast growing, potent strains, to start with and just enjoy them. Seems to work

 

[frankreynolds]

How else ya gonna get iron into your plant tho?

Lots of old women on here, with there old wives tales

LMAO what a load of old rot! I have heard the same in the 80's in the UK before most people knew what a trichrome was and they thought there was oil in the stem to be pushed out! hehehehe

Another Stoner Science Story:... what makes trics is energy spent in darkness,
your buddy leaves his plants longer in darkness
that encourages extra trics,
first give them the energy by giving extra light and er food

good luck

as recomended in Rosenthals book of the 1970's ...lol

I'm not quite sure, but when i first heard of the nail in stem deal. It was in relation to changing the sex of a paw paw plant from male to a female plant.
