Have any members tried stem splitting at the base of the plant and inserting wooden skewers to keep the split open to encourage trichome production and enhanced terpenoids? I have not. But have heard that some growers do it successfully. However, one time on an outside guerilla grow I went to harvest and found a major branch dangling by about 1/3 of the branch and it had cured to a nice reddish gold color, smelled real hashy-spicy, super sticky and dense hard buds. When friends saw it and tried it they were spoiled and wanted it over the unbroken, normal green plant even after it had been cured by conventional means. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated.

I have broken limbs and some died, some didn't, I certainly smoked the gold! I carried water in to a single plant that was so sparkly you could see it for a mile, damn rabbit cut it down, it too was gold when I returned.

Hope you were able to salvage it. Rabbits were my worst pest outdoors. Deer nibbled and pruned a bit for me but rabbits have ringed the entire trunk and killed several nice plants. Hardware cloth 24” tube helped but also makes things more visible. Painted it camouflage n Piled up some branches to break up outline and it worked.

Interesting concept.. I may try it one day to see if it works.. I like to experiment on my extras... muahaha but I personally think the best methods are the ones that happen or could happen naturally.. top of plant eaten.. limbs broken off... all possible.. and in general all increase yield.. so I could see that being true..
