Aim for an even, well-aerated canopy and avoid abrupt changes late in the cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle handling at harvest and careful drying\u002Fcuring protect delicate resin structures and perceived potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>What’s the difference between low-stress training (LST) and high-stress training in general horticulture?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Low-stress training gently guides shoots to improve light exposure and airflow without halting growth. High-stress approaches intentionally injure or prune to redirect energy and architecture, which can slow plants temporarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either method should prioritize plant health, measured recovery, and sanitation—avoiding detailed, crop-specific instructions where cultivation may be restricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Does UV light influence resin or protective compound production in plants?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Some species upregulate protective compounds under UV exposure, but responses vary by genetics and intensity. Excess UV can damage tissues and reduce yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If experimenting where legal, follow manufacturer safety guidance, use eye\u002Fskin protection, and avoid stacking stressors.
