Withholding water before harvest does not boost trichomes, resin or potency — the one study growers quote rewatered its plants four days before chop and measured neither terpenes nor trichomes. Here's what the drought trials actually found, and the only pre-harvest dry-down the evidence supports: one skipped watering, no wilt.
This episode reads the controlled drought studies instead of the forum threads: the 2019 University of Guelph trial (+12% and +13% concentration on three plants, with a dry-weight difference that landed at P = 0.06), the follow-ups that never found the bump (Guelph's own thesis repeat, Hohenheim 2026, Auburn 2024, a 2025 Israeli preprint), the real physiology behind "stress makes resin" and the dose curve that reverses it, why trichome density follows bract tissue rather than thirst, what a wilted plant costs in the last ripening days, and why your watering can can't move a lab result.
