Thinking of splitting, done some research, it is as simple as it looks?

I made a video of The Drilling. Working on posting it for your viewing pleasure.

Here’s a link to a video of me drilling my small sog bag seed plant. I don’t think there’s any personal info attached to the link, so it should be ok.

Youtube gave the option of a few dozen cheesy little songs, so I figured why not. I chose the porny-est sounding song! Lol! Took 4 hours to upload!

I’ve also noticed that if you have periodic dark out days that will also increase your try combs and fatten your flowers I had several times during this last grow where my lights were out for 24 hours and then back on there 12/12 cycle for two weeks and then out for 24 hours then back on And then I split the Stems they where rocks at harvest time A few extra days in the dark won’t hurt it like a few extra hours of light will

I’ve read about people doing ice water flushes near the end to cause stress, similar to drilling & darkness. I’ve never tried it. You ever hear anything about that? I do the drilling & 2 days of darkness.

Did you do the dark out days darning flowering or just at the end?

@blackthumbbetty, That’s it, you don’t have to put any thing in the hole?

If you split it the traditional way, you have to keep something in the split part. With drilling the holes, you don’t need to. At least as far as I know.

Soooo drilling/splitting and then 2 days in the dark…i guess if im splitting 4 days before then i would leave it split for 2days then dark for 2days and sneak up on them before lights on (harvest day) is that correct?

If you can, split it 5-7 days before harvesting, then if you want, give her 48 hours of darkness just before harvesting. Yes, you’ll be creeping up on her like an assassin on the day of harvest.

So 5days of split 2days of dark? Im a tad baked so bare with me :joy: i keep getting lost in all the threads!! Like ‘ooooh that looks interesting, could be of some use, il check it out’ whole night later ‘shit i forgot to reply/read that comment on my OWN thread’ :fearful:

Anyhoooo back to the split…i can do ninja assassin iv been eating my carrots ya know :wink:

U might want to put zip ties around where u drill or split. It can get really week after a few days.

I give mine an ice bath the entire day before I put them in the dark.
