Touche friend, touche. I love conversation so it would actually be refreshing to be around someone that kept on talking tbh.
Well... A Friend recently moved to Jersey for love. Perhaps we'll share a smoke someday, stranger things have happened. Hit us up if you ever make it to Maui.

Has an actual How-To been posted in this thread so a guy can try this out?
I waded thru the first 10 pages looking for specifics but have other things I need to do than hunt for one particular post.
I'm good a forgetting to water my girls but would like to try it in a more controlled manner.
Good topic!

Really? No shit. Hey I'd love to come to you, I'm sure NJ doesn't seem like a top vacation spot but believe me. Imma hit you up one of these days
Hey Med..
It's not like a process per say. Where is @Melville Hobbes when I need him? This guy is always finding the nooks in my threads. I really need to bookmark.
Lamens terms, find a designated leaf for you to watch lose turgidness. Use a protractor or an app the first few times to get an idea of the angle of the leaf from petiole to end of the leaf itself. You do this at around 8 weeks of flower. For a period up to 11 days, do not feed or water your plant and monitor that leaf and/or others. You are looking for what has been deemed the Leaf Wilt Angle or LWA. When that wilt angle reaches 50%, it is time to "rescue" or fertigate the plant and the drought is then over. Usually you are harvesting within a week, sometimes a little less, sometimes up to 2 weeks. Depends on your strain and its seed, honestly.
It's a work in the making and it benefits many who forget to water their plants lol thank you so much.Good topic!
Ha! Fair nuff. I know 3 things about New Jersey:
1. Every movie set in New York throws shade on ya at least once.
2. There's a wave pool inside a mall.
3. I've never wanted to go there.

I stumbled on the article that explains about this droughting thing and it seems pretty legit and worth trying. Some impressive yield increases noted.
Increasing Inflorescence Dry Weight and Cannabinoid Content in Medical Cannabis Using Controlled Drought Stress
Controlled application of drought can increase secondary metabolite concentrations in some essential oil-producing crops. To evaluate the effects of drought on cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) inflorescence dry weight and cannabinoid content, drought stress was applied to container-grown cannabis...

That's actually citing the same Caplan study the is the basis for this thread! Anyone who'd like to read it in full, it's here:I stumbled on the article that explains about this droughting thing and it seems pretty legit and worth trying. Some impressive yield increases noted.
