I would like to know the answer to this one as well. I'm about 5 weeks into flowering and i'd like to make sure that i got all of the info down. First grow is actually amazing, but i don't need to screw that shit up with a 48 hr dark period if it's not gonna do anything beneficial...

im in the same boat man, and ive done research and u should pick like around weeek 7 when its about 70% cloudy, NOT AMBER. and the whole idea behind the 72hrs of darkness is to imitate the dead of winter and she just pushes all shes got left into tho thc crystals..... now this is what ive researched so im trying it, ive already got darkness going for about 18hrs so no turning back.

well im trying it now so ill let yall know 
i see comprehension is as lacking as your spelling.
i think trying to "trick" your plants into anything is amateurish. if you've done everything right from the beginning there is no need for any of this nonsense.
so why start this thread?well im trying it now so ill let yall know
why not try it on half your crop and compare the differences.

And what did he have to say........
Some Breeders say to put your girl in 72 hrs. of darkness, I have seen some say 5 days. Usually it is coming from a breeder who has some sort of white widow strain. Never came accross concrete proof that it works but I have tried 72hrs.
and I can say that it didn't hurt.
Just my opinion....

thanks for you imput man, i think im going to try white widow next time around for this reason because most ppl say it works with the white widow.... ive got some bag seed im trying it on now so we'll see
Yeah, I'm with you. I ain't fuckin this up at this point.
you weren't supossed to chop the other one yet.
of course the other one is going to have more trichs now, it's been left to grow longer.
now you'll never really know.
gotta be "bone dry".

I agree, I tried this just to quell my own curiosity...You decide
Before
After
When compared to the branches I chopped before the darkness, I didn't notice any real difference.
you can't chop and then compare it to anything that is left growing.
in order to TEST properly you need 2 plants. one needs to stay on a normal flowering light cycle and the other needs to be put in the dark. and they need to be VERY similar to begin with.
stop following "stories" and stick with "common sense".
this goes for everyone.

Haha, well, after 3 days darkness there was still no difference to the branches cut before the dark period. Besides, it wasn't intended to be a scientific experiment...More of a "Lets just make sure these people are full of shit" test...Which, might I add, proved exactly what I was originally looking to observe. Why are you so condescending? There are friendly ways to tell people they are wrong...lol
