Double Harvests/Plants in darkness for last few days...

dude i hate to say it but Uncle Ben knows what hes doing and Id take his advice over yours..

Don't be afraid of the internet bully Uncle Ben i agree with you. And to u homegrown420baby, your the fucking idiot arguing over the fucking internet. Get a life.

im a newb but ive read lots n lots of post n 420baby does like to argue alot lol i agree and understand the science to what uncleben is saying but lots of growers try the 48/72hr darkness fingy so maybe theres a reason why? im gonna test it on 2 of my plants.

dude do all the things that were mentioned to you... use purple maxx turn the lights off and stab a nail or popsicle stick threw the stalk and see which one works the best fuck it do all three to all of them

be open minded..thats all im sayin..ur all just followers if u dont try anything new u aint ganna learn shit

I agree you should try it, it cant really hurt to much

I would like to know what your thoughts about going 24/0 darkness for last days before harvest(plant use whatevers left to synthesize nutrients etc?).

First off, weeds24 asked what is your (including everyones) opinion on having a 24 hour dark period prior to harvest.. Don't get mad when someone disagrees with what you have to say...they took the time to respond and voice there opinion, respect it..

I don't agree or disagree with anyone's post here.

Some say this, some say that. Just because someone says something that is then repeated on the internet does not make it true.

....does not make it false either. It takes a discussion of people and a handful of tests shown in honest posts to figure out which of these "things repeated on the internet" actually benefit the potency of weed.

Last grow i harvested great weed....I did not try the darkness period...this grow (in week 4 of flower) i will try the darkness period. I am sure to have better weed this harvest due to some major things i have learned about growing....but i will not really know if the darkness period contributed to anything..It will help with placebo, which is great. Im curious to see some results from a controlled experiment on the matter..

i will posts close-ups in a couple weeks to show the difference between jack the ripper with 36 hour dark period and without. before and after

Yo ben this guys a smuck all your advice has ben spot on get it ben haha anyways thanks for all you advice i no it takes time to explain as well as you do thanks again love your topping method

OMG u come off like a dick stop acting like ur the prince of pot or jorge cervantes..i told dude "some say" cuz he asked if he should go with 3days of darkness then 24 hours of light then pick his plant..and the guy i heard that from (the reason y i said some say) is up in the game..i didnt hear it online.. so back up foo and remember ur a NOBODY..i do my own thing i dont listen to much people say to me..people on here talk bs all day long cuz they wanna sound like they know everything..me i do my own thing..i've picked a plant after its 12hours of light ive picked one after 12hours of darkness, picked one after 48hrs of darkness and also 72hours of darkness. if u dont wanna try it cuz u think its all hype then dont and dont come on threads bashing the thought of it if u dont do it

I don't blindly follow anyone, but I do pay attention to what I read, and results. However he came by the information, listening to Uncle Ben's advice has more than doubled my yield per plant, and I expect even better results in the future. Has your advice done the same for people? Just because he has a different opinion than you is no reason to attack him.
OP - I have tried harvesting both ways - with darkness and without - with no noticable difference.

Thanks all. Yea, I got the one opinion I was hoping for.

TY, doeEyed as well

Photosynthesis is what drives all activity within the plant... without it things come to a screeching halt... if you want to stress plant into believng the end of the world is coming shorten light cycle even more for a couple of days at end... but it is probably gonna make little appreciable difference...

Unlce ben... here is a great quote that you can appreciate..... "The plural of anecdote is not data....". We are emerging from the dark ages of cannabis growth, a period that started in 1939.... but then agian some people don;t want to hear anything contrary to what they were thinking...

haha ur a jerk off..the point isnt to get more bud retard the last 3days aint gonna produce shit..im talkin about waiting till its fully ripe then putting it in the dark to produce more thc..so u ever tried it? i noticed u tried avoiding the question

If anything, THC will be reduced regarding production AND, this is the most important consideration, THC may be degraded into crap cannabanoids like CBN. I look at potency as a bell shaped curve with the good cannabanoids aka THC being produced from say....week 2 until the optimum window for harvest, which lasts about 2 weeks indoors. As time goes by, these goodies are degraded into "inferior" or "lesser" cannabanoids over time. Mel Frank has several graphs which show % via a timeline of this transition due to exposure to light, air, heat, and time, how those environmental factors chemically degrade certain cannabanoids, main one being affected are THC, as opposed to exposure under ideal conditions - cool/cold temps, absence of air, no light, etc. which tends to maintain the integrity of the goodies.

Perhaps because everyone is doing it? If you try all the gimmicks, rocket fuels, and stupid stunts you see on these forums, you'll go crazy. In fact, some men have reported a loss of hair on their left testicle, some women have been known to grow a third nipple.

Caveat emptor,

try a tv with nuclear strikes on repeat and lady gaga as soundtrack in the grow room, will fo sho make it think its the end of the world.

Now that is some funny shit... but rather than lady gaga... what about Zamfirs greatest pan flute hits.....

My God...You wanna make them think it's the end of all Creation?

420 baby I had to register just to tell you to chill out. You have not been around long if you don't recognize Uncle Ben. He is an OG'er from way back. In regards to your question, there are many common ideas about how to squeeze a little more production out of your ladies. I would hesitate to call them all myths, but seriously, in your plants last days of life - it is done. The last weeks it will fatten up, but if you think it is gonna get bigger in 24 hours or product more trichomes, that is asking a lot. Kinda like sticking a nail through your stem. Sure you can do it. I wouldn't though. Seriously though, if you want them bigger, go back to your conditions, medium, lighting and health of ladies when you START flowering. And please stop calling out respected contributers like Uncle Ben. Ben, if you remember, MikeRoGrow, drop me a line and tell me where all the OG'ers are at!
