Push until seeded?

I've heard growers (Mr. Canucks Grow) say they like to push their plants until there are a few seeds in their final product. What does that mean exactly and is there any wisdom in that thinking? Does it mean their plants hermie and self-polinate? How does that work in fem seeds?

Ridiculous! Push plants until they are stressed beyond their limits sounds like great advice to me! If this is their "recommended technique", I would steer well clear of any of their products and give my money to someone who knows how to look after cannabis plants properly. Yes it means their feminized plants have hermied and self pollinated....only doable through massive stress.........why on Earth would you purposefully stress your plants into doing abnormal things and think this is a good idea???

Beyond mouses answer of doing that for the seeds - to me this is idiotic unless you want super sedating bud.. But the reality is if it’s an 8 week strain and you push it to 9-10 and it naturally throws nanners - it’s not gonna be seeded. It takes another few weeks at the LEAST to create seeds to maturity - so we’re talking week 13 on an 8 week?? That’s pushing bud rot and other issues. I’d love to hear his explanation for this or a video link you might have. Reality is some of these famous growers and whatnot don’t know what they’re talking about in some subjects. The other day a guy who I look up to didn’t know what diode binning was and it blew my mind. Anyways. There’s my 2 cents
