I grew up next to an 80 year old peach orchard, about 100 trees. The old farmer who took care of them didn't use pesticides until about 2 months before the peaches were ready. He let the little bugs eat on the peaches and sporadically sprayed to keep their numbers low but didn't eradicate them until the peaches were fist sized. His peaches grew to about the size of two fists and I learned later on in biology class that fruit that has bee damaged has an enzyme in it that's good for heart health because the enzymes repair the damaged fruit skin and pulp, like a plants fetal cells that become what the cell is they're next to. Anyway, always try to select blemished or insect attacked and repaired fruit...it contains enzymes that a perfect looking fruit doesn't have, that are beneficial to your health.

I stress the hell out of my plants without even trying. It comes naturally because I have sucked at gardening since I bought my first house in 1974. Apparently something good is happening because it stones me better than the dispensary stuff I was willing giving up large chunks of my retirement check for. Goal number one accomplished, I’ll learn details as I gain experience.

I’ve had plants so stressed I’ve taken them to a therapist

I speak harshly to my plants in order to mentally stress them. Then I play them some Beethoven to counter the vibes. 😉 Truthfully, I'm a bender. I weight or tie the branches horizontal to encourage bud sites to proliferate.

Damn Scotty you are spot on . I'm a seed guy and you are a clone guy but we freaking grow the same way. 30 year's man😊 I'm so happy to find this channel.

I do a combo if LST and high stress. After i harvest, i like to look at the root ball. Its unbelievable what u learn about ur grow method by looking at the roots

Everyone should call their US senators and encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA that legalizes cannabis at the federal level ! Read the CAOA bill online and then call your senators !

Just show them love & they will love you back !!

To stress my plants, I let them watch as I smoke their sister. :)

Respect from the UK Scotty it's easy to understand your way thanks brother love the content

Great advice Scotty. I use ice water the last 2 weeks for color. So do, some don’t.

First grower here, I accidentally cold stressed my plants these days and they turned purple 💜 What did I do... I panicked and tried to fix it 😂😂 I already figured it's normal, thanks for the confirmation! And thanks for the videos in general! Liked and subscribed ❤

Glad you are doing this Scotty you deserved a show for yourself ❤

I appreciate my plants by caring for them like my life depends on theirs... Works for me & since I prefer the outdoors there's enough times of stresses on them just with the weather etc

Cannabis is a simple plant . Basic food and environment. I’ve been growing over 30 years now and I use 2 part commercial food now and that’s it , quads every time.. my grow room dips to 58 degrees during lights off . Always nice colours

Cold stress at night late in flower adds terpenes and essential oils to the flowers along with helping with color expression.

Been a longtime dgc watcher & big fan of your dots & recharge scotty, just found out about this channel kind of cracks me up when your buddy asks you questions you seem like your in the biggest hurry to answer & get on to the next one . And I like that attitude no time for small talk straight to the point, BTW where or what is the Bakery ?

Thank you for the information it was great

Love how dudes garden logic applies to life logic....deep analogies

Love your channel. Wisdom and knowledge:)

Love the content scotty....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

A frequent tip from the 1980s for a house plant that was stunted etc - knock the sides of the pots. Not gentle taps, but a definite few knocks. I’d forgotten. If I run into a problem, I’ll give it a shot.

A good way to look at crop steering/drybacks is you are temporarily increasing EC/PPM in the medium by lessing the amount of water via dryback. Its like if you let salt water evaporate halfway it would be more salty

I LOVE THAT SHIRT DUDE... ! 🏴‍☠️ THE FLANNEL ONE BRA... Now if you will excuse me I'm going to the gro room to beet my plants .

Solid info guys thank you!

Great info Scotty and hi c stress is best

Cold temps stress can also bring out balls

My hubby always mainlines ours and never uses a trellis and he always has a bunch of tops !! And it looks really cool too

I dry and cure in the same room as my flower tent. So I stress them with lower temps and it makes the colors come out.

Grow dots are on point rating honestly 11 out of 10

snap a branch but not all the way off, tape it back up seems to make extra trichomes and stank

Great chat boys❤❤🎉🎉

Great info 👍 thanks scotty 😊. Shout out to hi-c 😊 love the channel man 🎉.

Top all mine 8 times and use big tent pegs to bend down. Dam steams get thick. But it slows down the grow time. Then in flower as cold as i can get them in my chamber.

PLEASE HIT THAT LIKE 👍 BUTTON, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE AND COMMENT. MUCH APPRECIATED 😊

You are spot on Scotty but I play ACDC haha old school

I find that if I run an environment in my tent similar to a heat wave/low rain period twice per run, I also use the IR, UV deep red Led's early day and night

Scotty- how about a chat/fact session on were to place sensors e.g- temp/humidity .

Yeap I snap mine have 3 plants n closet that have been snapped and the colas are huge

UVB for the last couple weeks of flower. Makes a difference in my grows

I had a late start plant lasted til late October early November that turned blue from the cold.

I grew ALOT of plants in western upstate NY, right on the Canadian border. Beautiful top soil, almost black. But the colder weather made all of my plants a deep purple. Been growing purple plants since I was 13, cold stress is 100% true. Different story in warmer weather, grew plants down south. And not much purple.

Gut gut erklärt danke schön

I think it's best to keep your plants happy but don't pamper them. I like to use "high stress training" too - it seems brutal but the hard squeeze snap down and twist really does work.. Plenty of blowy wind is crucial. The main thing is not to overfeed. I grow in good soil and feed once during veg and about four times in the early flowering stage, nothing but water for the last three weeks. Like you I want them kept cool for the last couple of weeks too. We are trying to replicate the climate of the Hindu Kush (unless growing tropical sativas). I don't let them suffer full on drought for fear of RSM. The other thing I don't do is leave them in darkness for days before harvest. Somebody spread the rumour that trichomes and terpenes develop in the dark - they don't. These develop as part of the photosynthesis cycle.

I slowly twist stems till I hear the snap sound and prop up the twisted stem. Is this what you mean by snapping? I have done it for a couple of decades with good results.

Anything that works with autos specifically? I've tried LST, I've got 3000w of lighting and light cycles. I even pinch all my flowers. I get good potency buds, but I can't seem to get nice dense buds.

you can add to much uv light and the resin dries out.. been experiencing it few times.. i used the gavita plasma light "in combo with hps" and it has a lot of added uv.. running this light the full 12h light cycle.. that will hurt the resin.. but if its used for 2-3 hours "give or take" resin will be more potent

Compliments from me today 😊

hmm it is summer, and I hate my electric bill.. so I let it get kinds warm, I keep my place/a.c. at 75°.. I feel like even with my fan that my tent is warmer than 75.. I'm thinking I should probably invest in a tempt controlled humidifier as my next investment?

shit guys, that's some straight up facts and some good info my brother!

Snap tops all the time

I use a variety of stressing techniques and get great results - last batch: Total THC Calculated SFCC Green Crack 27.9% SFCC Thai 21.9% SFCC Dee-Lite 28.1% SFCC Apple Fritter 31.7% SFCC Northern Lights 36.1% SFCC Apple Fritter X 30.1% Acapulco Gold 25.6% THC bomb 22.2%

Would there ever be a video of you showing your professional practices, I watch all your videos and id love to see in action your methods

Plants are like their owners 😂 Some are privileged and SOFT Mine are malnourished, under watered, light deprived Cold wet & hungry, but Hardy Like myself 😂 typical Brit

After watching a couple friends grow a particularly stretchy strain two or three times, when I tried it out I with held water during stretching weeks and they stacked super well compared to consistent water. How do you stunt super stretch strains?

I had a theory that green grass hoppers nibbling on leaves maybe signaled stressors to create more trichomes and bud.

Stressed out plants = stressed out gardener

Many ways 4sure LST/HST in General Precision Stress throughout The Grow...😁💨💨✌️

What if the cold stress happens early? I have some Critical Kush in week 6 of flower. The night time temps have been dropping down into the 60'sf. They are already going gold hairs.

How about ice watering for the last week or so?

hey broskis! just wonder... does it more harm to prune your plants tru out the grow and flowering, than just lollipop/prune them once before flower? :)

When plants get big they create more humidity in the air faster. I would at least monitor humidity and temperature.

6:36 "Yes Sir"

Im just running an experiment with side lighting only in early vege and two sub groups. When a nerd grows weed….

My hope is that my fucked up light schedule gives me something fun

Today is the end of the 3rd week since the flip and one of my ladies are curling and clawing. It cant be over watering because i have adequate airflow and im in fabric 3 gal pots. Ive only been giving them about 40 oz of water every 3 or 4 days so im assuming its probably nitrogen toxicity. Any tips for how to fix that? Im hoping it doesnt hurt my yeild too much 🥲

First time doing lst i swore the plant was going to be trash by the next day. Nope it took it and wanted more.

My plant in my tent is in her 7th week of flower and I have to put her outside for one night and one day , will this affect her negativity? Or not really , thank you 🙏

👍

❤

If they cant take a little stress they dont make it in my garden

I remember the days when super-cropping was seen as witch craft

Also I’d like to see this guy grow potatoes

You forgot the leaf blower....👍

26 seconds in.🔥 Scotty is always dropping gems! 🫡💯🔥

Yoooooo what's up

I let my pots almost dry all the way out in between every watering.

Some my best plants have been attacked by animals and they grew back heaps bigger

Like popcorn sutton moonshine. He made the loving kind, the fighting kind the crying kind he even made some one time and sold it to a happily married couple and they got a divorce in a week. How do you stress your plants?

Scotty✌️Shoes

LST

Something wrong with the app …. I can’t sign up …. It’s saying wrong username 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just play Joe bidens voice for my plants

🤘😎👍

☝️I Dropped a fan on one of my purple punch seedlings and flattened it, the poor plant had a near death experience and came back stronger than any of the others.. 💪 never been more tempted to do some HST as well as my usual LST

Pollylopping

I heard a claim that screwing a brass or steel screw, through and back out of the main stem 48 hours before harvest, is a good stress trigger to turn the stubborn clear heads into cloudy ones. For some reason copper coated screws and nails were not recommended toxic or something. Doesn't take long or cost much to do, though ive seen no study on it yet so its in the bro science category for the time being

What about verbal stress, telling your plants they are ugly and smell like shit🤘🪴💚

no it's not good to stress plants, you want healthy plants and most people all ready kill their plants or can't grow correctly so they already stress their plants , stress can cause spider mites infections ..

Don’t it always seem to grow !! When you don’t try to force feed . Grow it outside and let nature take its course close attention with minimal interference ? I have witnessed that plant start To recover from nothing but a stripped stalk and half the root ball thrown out in a creek!! It was half submerged and starting to grow new shoots In October in Nova Scotia!! 🫠🤔
