Yeah good point. Maybe I´m overthinking the whole thing a bit. It is mostly based on knowledge that bud taste can change with certain nutrients. As example. I did read an article about excess potassium and that the bud can develop a chemical taste. I was just generally thinking if there is a possibility that the bud quality/taste changes if it can go in a direction where the bud is no longer safe for consumption.Hey Zero,
Look at it this way - Cannabis grown in the wild for centuries is always under a huge amount of stress 100% of the time. It’s a tough life out there in the wild. Never have I heard/ read that stressed out cannabis plants give rise to toxic flowers. I guess if they are really beat up the THC levels may drop off.

The only " toxic " thing i would'nt use from the plant is if it had mold. Like the other poster says, it's been growing for thousand years in the dirt without a helping hand.Yeah good point.

Looking at my plant. It looks like it has a lot of stressThere is something known as hormesis. It's when a plant has an adaptive response in reaction to harm or excessive stress. The idea is the plant will put more resources into fruiting and reproduction because it. That typically works to the farmer's favor. It's thought to be one of the reasons why fruit trees produce better if they're properly pruned.
It's probably about how much stress and when it occurs.Looking at my plant. It looks like it has a lot of stress
I love my plants, too.I love it anyway despite looking like a striped tiger.
I think we all do. I know I do.I hope I can do better on my next grow
Orchardists intentionally do harm to produce better fruit. It's called pruning. Most folks don't think of pruning as harming plants because it usually helps eventually, but it harms the plant, nevertheless, and thus stresses the plant.You are absolutely correct. Go into any orchard in the spring during flowering. The trees with the ridiculously huge amount of flowers are the ones on the way out, disease, age, weather damage, etc. you can pick them out.
It's true, there isn't much science specifically regarding cannabis, but there is some for other plants (and organisms in general). (If cannabis is reclassified, I suspect there will be much more research. Our corporate overlords are sure to want a piece of that action.)My only reservation connecting stress to a response with more flowers in a cannabis setting hasn’t been shown.
Some say broken stems grow back stronger. There was also a thread here a while ago about drilling holes in the stems to improve plants. (Or was it driving nails in the stems? Memory fails me on that one.)Folks the split stems, inducing stress, that some how makes makes more aromatic flowers doesn’t make sense.
Such a tree would be quite rare. Few live beyond about 50. But maybe if the tree received good care.200 year old apple trees are not annual cannabis.
