Can we post a bro science thread

When I flip to flower I put the plants into 60 hours of dark to speed transition into flower.

On advice from other growers, no good science.

So the Ice bath theory before harvest is a myth?

I'd like to give this a try, as I run dwc and could fill up a 50/50 mix of ice and water in the 5 gallon bucket. For a second, lets say this holds true.. Are you supposed to do this during the 24-48 hours of darkness period, right before harvest?

The cultivation world's new to me so this bro science is throwing me off!

I've never tried that but it sounds like a myth, I'd gamble its a myth.
What we all want from plants comes from healthy growing.

Was really hoping that 24-48 period and an ice water bath would get these nugz looking like some yayo, reaaal white.

But seeing as that ain't the mothafucking case, I'll keep these temps low. 35-50% RH, 66-67- lights off, 75-76 lights on. Gotta love HPS warming up the environment, not to mention dwc self regulating the humidity in the tent. If it weren't for those 2 specific things, my environment wouldn't be optimal.

Lol i heard one years ago about a guy spraying his plant in bloom with carbonated water cos "yields more" yeah sure wouldnt be me thats for sure
Watering with with sparkling spring water isn't a bad idea, but not for the Co2. If you get fungus gnats the fizzy water around the roots really fucking annoys them. Line the edge of the pots with strips of yellow sticky trap and apply the sparkling water, it drives any adult gnats, on or in the surface of the soil, to rapidly launch into flight and on to the waiting sticky traps. Do that a couple of times and then apply nematodes to deal with that larvae and you no longer have a fungus gnat problem.

Also if you have very soft water, like me, a little extra calcium doesn't hurt.

But the idea that it increases Co2 around the plant and therefor yield is utter bollocks.
